The check in process was pleasant, and easy. The receptionist was pleasant, despite it being…read morereally early in the morning. The pre-op nurses seem knowledgeable, and were able to answer all of our patient's question sufficiently. The relevant staff came by to introduce themselves, give an overview of the procedure, and answer any questions we may have. The surgeon, and anesthesiologist, and surgical intern were nice, but the nurse anesthetist seemed nervous. While I spoke briefly with the surgeon after our patient's surgery, it seemed strange that he did not come out to explain how the procedure went. Our patient wanted to see how they did after waking up, but none of the medical staff who attended the surgery was available to answer questions. I understand that surgeons have a very busy schedule, but it should be standard practice for someone to check in on the patient, explain how surgery went, and give a brief overview of the procedure. An extra two minutes of their time is all it takes. The bedside manner for the post surgery nurse could have been better. She seemed indifferent after I explain my concern about the patient's questions being unanswered. One redeeming quality is that she seemed more pleasant the next time she came around, to check in. I refrained from judgment upon reading poor reviews online about their bedside manner as I aim to give the benefit of doubt unless proven otherwise. Well, the poor reviews online were not wrong. Perhaps it's just this specific case, perhaps that's the standard practice. But I expected better.

Most of the doctors I see are permanent while a few of them are brought over from AMC. You know they go that extra mile to make sure you're taken care of. I know you read a lot about VA hospitals but not here. This place makes you feel at home. The doctors, nurses, and complete staff are friendly. I'd recommend this hospital to any Vet that needs care.

I got a recording saying they would call me back in 24-48 hours. they did not. I called again, left a message, again.

I never heard back from them despite calling and leaving message 2 more times. it's now October 10th. if this guy was a cardiologist, I'd more than likely be dead by now. this is the worse run operation I have ever dealt with.

What's great about this place is they have early-morning walk-in hours, making it perfect for working stiffs like me who don't want to take off work for a doctor's appointment. They're also really good about fitting me in for an appointment quickly. They're also respectful and understanding. This place is affiliated with Albany Medical College, so they often have student observers. However, they're very good about not forcing that on you if you're not comfortable with it. For instance, when they asked me if a male student could observe my last gynecological exam, I wasn't having it. And that was fine.

And then to not even offer an apology, let alone anything else, like a freaking response to my complaint, makes me sick.
