Well, I realize this review will come as a giant shock to most of you, as this hospital, up till now, has a five star rating. Also, you will ask, ' why am I just giving this rotten review'? I was slow to act because I have not always had access to the internet and I wasn't sure if I wanted to put it in writing. In 2014, I was admitted to Cabrini Hospital, what turned out to be a severe thyroid disease. They also found that I had high cholesterol. I was swollen, hands, feet, face, which probably meant blockage but they discharged me with a couple of medications, ' goodbye, have a nice life!'
Ten days later, on a Saturday night, after feeling sick and nauseous, I ceased to breathe and an ambulance was called and I was back in the emergency room. It was THIS visit they found I had 90% blockage in three arteries and I needed bypass soon as possible! Did anyone, not realize the first time that I had a completely non functioning thyroid, I was swollen everywhere and high cholesterol, which to a good doctor should have been a red flag? As a result of their not performing the correct subsquent tests,I could have died that Saturday night. There were many more errors, of a much smaller nature as well but way too numerous to bore you with, here today! The one fantastic experience I had was meeting Dr. DeWitt, a cardiac surgeon! He was wonderful! He is truly an artist! I highly recommend him to anyone with heart or artery disease! Great doctor!!!
