    Used linen from someone who slept in the lounge

    Hospital stuck in 1960s. Old and worn equipment everywhere, the post that hold the IV are rusted, lots of discolored rusted equipment. Bathrooms not clean as they should be in a hospital setting. Tiny emergency room. When you arrive to the ER there are guards on the street checking you go into the hospital parking which is $12 an hour, meanwhile there's free parking for emergency room patients. The guard are a bunch of geniuses trying to figure how to let you in. The nurses are hit or miss as far as being good, we had a good one so shout out to Stephanie on the first floor because she was the only one that was golden, the rest dwindle between mediocre to plain done w nursing so their goal is doing the minimum. The doctors were in that same wavelength, the ER doctor was supposed to visit and when he did he wasn't that informative as to what was happening. They did a CT scan and never came back to let us know the results. The day doctor for sure didn't read the chart because was giving us different info, the chief Dr Jerwyn was despondent, condescending and leaves much to be said about bedside manner, she is truly the example of being too smart doesnt equal being right to lead. I dread to think how her staff suffers. No case worker came to give us the whole picture of whats happening so we had to piece together the puzzle. Overall it served its purpose on an emergency but long term care is not recommended.

    It's hard to review a hospital since the quality of care depends on who is there and your state of mind. On Friday I took my father to the cardiologist and he found water in his lungs. He said he had to immediately go to the hospital to get it drained and he recommended I go to St. Francis. My father being stubborn refused any hospital visit at first but finally we got him to go. When we drove into the parking lot I thought I would walk my father to the ER but the walk was too much. A staff exiting noticed us and helped us into the nearest entrance which was not the ER. He got us a wheelchair and even wheeled us to the ER. That was very nice of him considering he was on his way out. At the ER the triage nurse took a look at the cardiologist's papers and listened to the story while examining my father. They were patient with him even though he was getting cantankerous. The whole process took 20 to 30 minutes and we were let into the ER. My father was placed in a bed in the hallway. There were lots of beds in the hallway. They looked very busy. A doctor came and examined my father and ordered a chest X-ray and blood tests. The nurse expertly inserted a needle in, drew blood and left a space for the IV to go in the future. My father was not happy about the needle but they were reassuring to him. They gave me a chair and we waited. An X-ray machine came to us and they did a chest x-ray right at the bedside. The doctor came and said that the water was not in his lungs but around. She prescribed some strong intravenous diuretic. When he had to go to the bathroom, he refused to use the urinal so they used this contraption I've never seen before that wheels him to the bathroom and allows him to sit on the toilet. He had to go every 2 hours and was pretty demanding. But they stopped what they were doing to help me get him to the bathroom. They gave me a chair to sit next to him. They asked if I wanted anything. He was admitted but there was no room so we waited. A cardiologist came and patiently explained what was wrong (he has afib) and his options. He's stubborn so a pacemaker was out so the doctor prescribed him a beta blocker. I ask for food for him the first night but it never came which was one of the few complaints I had. I asked several times but I never got any menu for him till the afternoon of the next day. I managed to get him dinner, and breakfast. The food is probably the best hospital food I've seen. It is however tasteless (no salt because of people with high blood pressure. Finally, on Sunday we were discharged and we managed to get lunch before we left. They took care of everything and the process was smooth. Overall it was a good hospital with good people trying to give the patients the best care.

    A distracted driver hit my vehicle yesterday in Queens after I was driving home from my birthday party in Greenwich Village. He said that he was looking at his cell phone's GPS when he rear ended me. My auto insurance company implored me to visit an ER within three days even if I am feeling well. I chose St. Francis after reading Yelp friend Frank T's terrific review. This hospital is part of the Catholic Health Services network for which my primary care doctor is a provider, so I did not need to provide staff any information about me. They already had it on file. The triage nurse was skillful and determined that I did not sustain serious injuries. The ER doc thoroughly assessed me and gave me a clean bill of health. ER parking is all the way in the back in designated spaces. I was Blessed to find one. I was also Blessed to visit this ER. I was out in less than one hour.

    Less land less star every single time I come here, lol. Today I guess the reception lady has a bad day so she is not nice and welcome at all. Only thing she knows is 'NO' another person, she is nice and the crazy one cursed her out because she is too nice to visitors. Most visitors are patient's family, they always sad and worried. Why the hospital put a mean person to work at the check in desk and make visitors more stressed.

Unlike the first location, the team was incredibly responsive, lead with empathy and explained every step of the way. Dr. Jeffrey Richmond who did my surgery is a saint. He legit saved my life. Once out of surgery, I was sent to recover on 7 Tower- with an award winning team of nurses and pcas who were all so sensitive to my condition and did their best to make me feel comfortable and heal with integrity. Special shout-out to my nurses: Emily, Scheno, Gabby Marc ( PCA), Khiki ( vein expert ) and Patrick from PT who didn't just help me to work on my mobility but gave me pep talks when was becoming emotionally challenged. Shout out to Scott in 4 Tower. Amazing nurse Unfortunately I have been back twice. The ER waiting time is unforgiving. I checked in after 1:00 PM and did not get a bed until after 1 the next morning. Visiting hours are 24 hrs and valley parking is available. The 24 hrs is tricky as they have "quiet time" starting 9:30 PM but if your roommate has guest until 2:00 AM, then you might not get rest. Meals are decent and well balanced. Typical breakfast: French toast and eggs, juice and fruit. Lunch/ dinner: a chicken or fish and mashed potatoes etc. They even throw in a little Hagan Daaz or icy. Critical care: 8/10 Quality of care: 10/10 Facility: 10/10 Food: 8/10

My wife got…read moreto the hospital into the emergency room on her own accord at around 8 o'clock on a Saturday night. She was finally discharged at around 5:30 the following morning with absolutely zero findings, still in pain. They actually asked her to return if she still had pain, but they were discharging her with pain. She was called after almost an hour back to the emergency ward out of the waiting room and placed on a stretcher in the corridor by the nurses station for about 10 hours. Apparently no rooms available, even though there were two empty ones. They didn't check on her or ask her if she needed anything. It took hours between CT scan and ultrasound to get any kind of results. We will never even consider this location for any emergencies in the future and you should not as well. I think there was a major failure in the nursing staff because it's their responsibility to make sure that patients are comfortable and informed. Why my wife was standing, waiting to get her discharge papers with IV still in her arm absolutely unacceptable.

Brenda, I doubt you'll ever see this review, but you truly made the experience special. You were informative, welcoming, and made sure everyone understood exactly what to expect and where to go when the big day arrives. My partner and I were actually the only people on the tour who already had children, while everyone else were first-time moms and dads. It turned into such a nice experience because some of the other parents even came to us with questions or for advice whenever Brenda stepped away for a moment. It created a very supportive atmosphere. During the tour, we got to see the labor and delivery area, as well as the postpartum rooms. We also happened to see a new mom walking through the hallway with her newborn, which was such a sweet and special moment. Another nice touch was seeing the statistics for how many baby boys, baby girls, and twins had been delivered there this year. The tour was extremely informative and really helped ease any confusion about where to go and what to expect on delivery day. The hospital renovations also look great everything feels updated and well maintained.

Hire more doctors or close the shit down because there is absolutely NO reason someone should have to wait 5 HOURS just to be seen, only to be told it could be ANOTHER 4-5 HOURS before seeing a doctor. An 10 hour wait in an EMERGENCY ROOM?! What exactly is the emergency at that point?? For one of the biggest hospitals on Long Island, this is absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing. People come to the ER because they need medical attention, not because they want to spend their entire day sitting in a waiting room hoping somebody eventually gets to them. Absolutely ridiculous. Biggest hospital on Long Island and somehow the WORST. Do better!!
