Reviews of New York Community Hospital (Hospital)

Sevara Djuraeva

It is the worst hospital ever. Nurses are very rude and don’t care about the patient. Emergency room is full of irresponsible nurses. They are careless. Never go to this hospital. I was there and felt very bad. I had a dizzy and couldn’t walk by myself. Ella (who is nurse there) made me walk myself. She is irresponsible and neglect.

ivan lyalyuk

Best experience ever , I recommend to everybody

Zarina Rakhmatova

very rude staff!

Toby Tourgeman

Wait in the ER for days for a room.

Kristine Parker

I would give no stars if possible. Terrible place. They are still in the dark ages. What hospital doesn't have and MRI machine. The ICU attending makes up things to say rather than admitting he doesn't have answers. The nurses & pca's however were amazing and very caring

Nadia Maylou

If I could give this place a negative 5 stars I would. The doctors are good but everyone else below a doctor has the worst patient care service imaginable. I brought my grandmother to the 4th floor for cataract surgery. This is our second visit, which re assured me how terrible the first one actually was. We arrived at 6:30am for a scheduled appointment and we are now leaving at 1pm. Each and every time I asked anyone any type of question I was answered with nothing but attitude and not an actual answer. What this staff fails to realize is we are leaving I loved ones in your care. When I asked questions in regards to my grandmother majority of the answers were I don’t know which does not work for me. Each time we enter this establishment for “scheduled” appoints we end up staying for 7 hours or more. When I asked what time her procedure started being that I haven’t seen her for four hours I was told to request her medical records. Each time I was greeted with nothing but hostility and that’s exactly what the staff got back. It’s called patient care! My grandmother was left in the hall in a wheel chair falling asleep while her transportation waited outside l. I had to request to have her brought down or we would of missed her transportation. This is the worst place ever!!!

This is the worst hospital I have ever been to I’ve come here twice once when I was pregnant with my son because I didn’t feel him moving and they told me they had no one to service pregnant people what hospital can’t do a simple sonogram? I came again tonight because it’s the closest hospital to my home because my son took a fall off the bed I come in and I’m greeted by a woman who seems like she couldn’t care less about anything happening and then I get sent a doctor that tells me that she can’t take care of my son because they don’t have a pediatrician on site what hospital doesn’t have a pediatrician? If I could leave no stars I would

Akiva Hass

bad staff!!! waited forever!!

Yelena Milskaya

Always long waits for any procedures. Too many people doing (and re-doing) the paperwork, rather than valuing the patients' time and moving things along.

Mike Kohut

Er and nursing staff were excellent. We were rushed there at 4am for an emergency, the ER staff was amazing and super attentive to our needs. The Doctors and nurses were all extremely polite, caring and took their time to explain what was going on. I would highly recommend this hospital.

Davon Roper

I'm in here right now. I would never recommend anyone to come here.The staff sucks the Doctors suck this place is terrible and my surgery was scheduled in advance. Please do your self a favor and go some place else.

Nana

Wow I can’t believe the rewievs here, I have lived in this country for 4 years and this is the best hospital Experience I have ever had and Doctor Tkach must be the best doctor I have ever seen in my entire life, to be completely honest I never liked doctors and dr.Tkach has completely changed my perspective, all stuff members Nurses and doctors who examined me were incredibly attantive and caring, even extra extra caring and really sweet to me, doctor was soo professional explaining to me every detail and nurses as well telling me all the time what they were gonna do to me, doctor also made sure to check me so many times and do all the tests neccessary to make sure what was truly going on with me, he has made sure I felt cared for and safe, I have left this hospital feeling soo happy, hospital itself is really clean, it might not be so modern but it is clean(and I am a germophobe so I would know) I was actually amazed at how amazing this hospital is and couldnt stop telling my mom and pointing out to her what a calm sweet and caring doctor Tkach and other doctors who did sonogram on me were and all the nurses and stuff members who took care of me as well... huge THANK YOU to them!

Bob Weiss

Wonderful food, but very little contact with physician staff and no detailed explanation of my condition or what the treatment plan was going to be. My prior experiences at Beth Israel Hosp. (Manhattan) were 100% better, but I was not in condition to travel into Manhattan.

Val Bess

It's difficult finding a hospital that is well-run, efficient, and has attentive staff. This is not one of those places. The good thing about it is that it is less crowded than the bigger names in Brooklyn. Visiting hours (excluding ICU/Emergency) are until 8 pm.

Marc Kramer

Took care of my dad a number of times I'm the years before he passed. Some top notch doctors , nursing staff is caring. It's an older facility but well maintained. It may not have the name recognition of some other facilities but dont be fooled, they are really wonderful.

Valeria Bushuyev

Took great care of my grandma in ICU! Very patient and knowledgeable nurses!

Tee Bass

Horrible and unprofessional staff!!! Patient care is below 0!!!!!!!

philysha-donna mckenzie

It is nice, but if you don't have insurance don't go there because they want you to visit the doctor office and then they charge you for the the time the doctor came to your bedside in the hospital. That is crazy, he work private in the hospital.

Alexander Izmailov

I was treated effectively and without delays. Staff is very professional and kind.

Judith Nunez

If I could give negative stars to this, I Would. I'm in here right now and my mom is getting surgery; the procedure was supposed to take 1-1:30 hours and it's been about 5 hours. The nurses are very rude every time I ask what's going to, one of them yelled at me, and none of them wants to give me proper information about what's going to. Most of the nurses are walking around talking on their cellphones or arguing in the hallway. THIS PLACE SHOULD BE CLOSED.

Dennis Petti

This is the worst hospital i have ever been in. The nurses don't answer call bells, nobody updates you on your condition, staff is always arguing in the hallway go somewhere where else I'm about to get dressed and leave my room

Kay Wood

I went to the ER yesterday and I must say out of all the times I’ve been to the ER in my life, this was the best experience. Every staff was so pleasant and nice but especially a nurse that was my nurse while I was there. I think her last name is Lask. She was so professional and I can tell she enjoy what she does. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure that I was good. I had a few test done to rule out any concerns and I wasn’t there all day...lol. They were pretty quick. From now on...any emergency needs....I will come to this hospital.

Samantha Melanson

THE WORST HOSPITAL IN BROOKLYN RUDE STAFF AND NO MEDICAL TREATMENT

Joseph Williams

The after care that I received was fantastic. I made the right decision coming here. The staff was fantastic with my after care. I

Hashed Seidi

Very good service

Google User

They should've at least covered my son's injured finger, at the emergency room, before asking all the insurance information and other questions. I had to actually ask them to cover it, and then they remembered that there's a child with an injured finger.

Mz. Rema

Nurses and doctors are wonderful Dr.saleem and his staff are Rock stars ambulatory staff where very good to me and I'll recommend anybody to see them

Oksana Romina

We were sent to their emergency room by a doctor. Upon arriving the administrator after reading the note from the doctor indicated that they can’t provide survives to us as they didn’t have pediatric unit and that we have to go to another hospital. We left. A month later two of their doctors and their emergency room billed my insuarance over 2000 usd. My son was not seen or examined by neither a doctor nor a nurse. We were sent away within 2 minutes of entry. The only thing the place did was get a copy of my insurance card and basically charged 2k for asking us to go to another emergency room.

MidnightLadyCrow

This hospital is close by to where I live so I choose it for convenience, BUT I would prefer this over C.I Hospital, Maimonides, or whatever else crap hospital there is out there. I received proper treatment here many a times due to my chronic asthma and have never been disappointed. The wait averages depending on the time of day you go 8am is a change of shift, 7-8 pm I believe is another change of shift so they take longer. I like the new fast track they installed instead of everyone having to be cramped up in one place for emergencies. Dr. Vicktor and Shistak, god I know I'm butchering their names xD are wonderful doctors!!!!! I also had to be admitted once for my gallbladder removal. Everything went well nurses were dolls and I actually met a nurse who so happened to be my kindergarten best friends brother, what are the odds of that??? Anyway you do have some there who are actually grouchy AF but that's in every hospital (maybe they should pick a different profession) but I don't allow it to prevent me from receiving care from this place. Overall I give it 4 stars =)

Harold F

By far the worst hospital. I don't know if this even classifies as a hospital. The attending nurses are always talking on their phone. Nurses have no idea what they are doing with the patient. My mother has been here for two days and they now ask if she is diabetic. When I specifically told them when she was admitted into the ER that she was diabetic. Nurses have their own groups. The whites, the blacks and the Asians. I'm from Spanish decent and neither the whites nor the blacks paid any attention to my asking for info of where my mother was when I came back for the second day. This is disgraceful. This establishment should be shut down.

Andy Siegel

Went in to the ER because I was having an allergic reaction. Was treated quickly and effectively by a vey kinda staff.

Happy Hobby

We were in ER with my husband. Staff was very pleasant. Nurse Chris was tons of pleasant energy. He was spreading positivity to everyone. Dr. Uptal Chaudry was nice and professional. To one question Who is going to take care of my husband and how long we should wait, he responded pretty fast and calmly. But Dr. Tkach was extremely rude and unproffesional. Usually when patients ask questions staff answers give me a second or soon or similar to these. But Tkach answer was cold and unprofessional "I don't know" . My question was who knows then if not on call doctor.

Sandy Caputo

I have been going to New York Community Hospital for many years. I have always found the staff professional and friendly . I would recommend this Hospital to my fiends and family.

Igor Smelyansky

Been in IR for 2 hours, doctor did not even came to say hi. Left by AMA.

Sheroz Mirsaidov

Stuff is caring and helpful Nurses work fast and effectively. ER is pretty fast

Zev Zoldan

Decent staff but not the best.

charlann buononato

one thing is for sure this place is definitely a better choice then Beth Israel Medical Center

Scott Hunter

My parents were there twice in 14 months - between Feb 2015 and April of 2016. I have to say that the service got worse compare with the first time. The experience we had last February(2/15) was not as bad, but this time it was terrible. The doctors don't have bedside manner. No one else treated you with the respect you deserve except two ladies by the name of Ms. Lieberman and Ms. Natalie. They talk to you like you're a criminal. They renovated E.R. section, but it didn't look any good. I am surprised that they are affiliated with NY Presbyterian Hospital which is a fantastic hospital. This is a terrible hospital

Yosef Friedman

Amazing service. Great staff. Shout out to Dr. Kim for being so amazing. Thank you

Farida Alieva

Good stuff members, when you come you get help but you need to wait and also they need more staff members with multiple languages. They are not big hospitals because they work as a local community hospital for first aid then if it is major problems they send them to different hospitals where they have the most updated technology and assistants. They open 24 hours.

John VanWagner

Dr. Frank Parato, IM

Jeremiah Lindgren

Horrible place!

Ari Avidan

Rude nurses in emergency room, nasty attitudes abound.

barbara ortiz

Horrible hospital if i could give it a negative star i would. Staff has attitude. My mother was there for a week and they gave her medication that she was allergic to knowing she couldnt take it which was noted in her chart.

Lisa Dixon

I am currently waiting in the lobby now for about 2 and 1/2 hours for information about a patient I was told to wait 5 mins and someone will let me know the statis if the surgery is completed and if he is in recovery.....never again!!!

Yvette Reyes

Er vert good. Staff is great.

Nataliya Plyusnina

Impossible to reach the hospital by phone!!! I'm calling 6 times, one time someone picked up and hung up on me. Very unprofessional.

Roman Revzin

In an emergency, you might be tempted to go to their ER. Do not, find a better hospital. I've been there twice, once to get rabies shots, once I brought my child in with stomach pain as it was the closest hospital... The nurse gave us the wrong rabies schedule, and told us not to come back for second, third and fourth shots. After asking the doctor and other nurses (who have terrible attitude, except for one nice Philippino lady), finally figured out the the schedule was wrong. They REALLY care about getting your insurance info... My child WAS ADMITED to ER with terrible stomach pain, after 40 minutes of waiting to see the doctor and complete disregard from staff, they informed us that they had no pediatric doctor and if we wanted to they would arrange transportation to another hospital for which they would bill us, we would have to wait another 30 minutes.... I grabbed my kid and we jetted to Methodist hospital... we were treated very kindly and noone approached us with insurance questions until they have treated our child.... In short, uncaring, unprofessional staff, tons of mistakes. Admited a child without a proper doctor on board.

Ali Wakil Lodi

The test they did, it was not post in the system.

Tzvi Lichtman

Nice small hospital....very nice and helping staff!!

Cvi Hirsch

dirty

Sonia M Robinson

Great staff, great service...but this hospital is OUT DATED! Even though you see the cleaning people cleaning, it still feels dirty...old furniture, old TV in the waiting room, old ER, old computers, OLD OLD OLD... Presbyterian should put some funds into renovating.

Maoz Taganski

Nice small hospital.

nooniela nooniela

My husband had surgery there last friday! Everyone was so kind and caring! The nursing staff is wonderful and even the dietician came to see him to get him food that he could eat!

linwin maung

Because it is very convonent

Doreen Garson

Treatment was effective and efficient

Eric Goldberg

Did nothing for me...just tested my urine when I came in with symptoms of a fractured back...went to another hospital where it was discovered that I had multiple fractures in my spine

Hafiz Faheem

It's a very nice hospital with caring staff.

Taz A

Poorly run facility with staff that treat patients like criminals for coming to the ER. Hippocratic oath seems to go out the window as soon as they get a job here based on their behavior. Wouldn't send someone here unless i wished them ill. Go anywhere but here. Staff likes to sit around and gossip instead of seeing patients, keeping them waiting for hours at a time only to send them home with nothing to show for their wait except for an insurance charge and discharge papers. The saving grace of this facility was a nightingale in red nurse asgarova who was absolutely amazing in her bedside manner and responsiveness to the patients needs.

Greg Gmon

This hospital is a Nightmare because they mixed up my medication and i suffered. Not that they cared when i complained and they didnt even bill my insurance company I have to deal with everthing and not to mention even if ur slightly sick they will try to keep u there for days u wont even get to see the doctor. He simply has no time for the patients at least i never met mine.

Larisa Tal

My husband was in ICU the aid was laughing in my face when i asked for clean nightgowns she told me he will get it when he will move to the floor. The nurse finally gave it to me when i complained loudly. The nurses did not gave me her name .Its 1:25 on November 10th.

SAIFUL ISLAM

Everyone busy to gossiping they don't care anyone

geo tiplisi

Do not under any set circumstances come to this hospital.Stuff is so unprofessional and rude ,they have no clue how to communicate with patients.

Len Legasseum

My mother went to the emergency room because she hurt her leg and foot. TWO doctors ran X rays and cleared her saying it’s just a fracture. When she went to her local doctor he told her both leg and foot are broken. Clearly they have a very incompetent team of doctors that do not deserve to be working in the field. Speaking with lawyers...

Elina Veyber

Emergency room is full of incompetent nurses that don’t care about the patients and lack competence. Staff acts like they’re doing you the biggest favor when they’re answering a simple question. If you lack the competence and compassion to work in the medical field, get a different job! Nurse Powell is especially unprofessional, incompetent and careless. When I refused to sign documents with no information filled in, she was spiteful and refused to help me afterwards.

mark feifer

Awesome group of nurses and doctors. Most caring. Something wrong with people who say different

Dennis Parker

I had a hospital stay here about 2 years ago and it was the best hospital I've been to by far. No contest and I was recently there again and the staff was great!! Hard to believe for me that they get anything less than 5 stars

zakaria siraj

Horrible, very bad don't waste your time, you gonna die

Shirley Argant

Love this hospital its much better than kings county

Carmen Rivera

Never come to this hospital they will kill you the dr don't know what they are doing. Don't see dr Boris peysin he will kill you very slow and won't tell your family anything . He always say you leave tomorrow but tomorrow never gets here the only thing that you recieved is death .

Abed Salim

My cousin went to do his surgery, they have called him almost a week ago, now they tell him he's not registered, They not even showing any concerns of what the problem is...

Manuel D Renderos

Betty terrible to find out information about a particular individual. too discausting.

Mike T.

Truly an abomination of a hospital. Most nurses have serious attitude issues, won't give information, and don't take good care of the patience. There are multiple violations and concerns I had while walking around. Unsanitary. If you can avoid this place avoid it.

Rachel Pellot

Have been to the ER for my daughter and a separate time for myself as well. We did not have a long wait and were treated well.

jacky soto

(Translated by Google) very good work (Original) muy buen trabajo

Chantal Pierre-Louis

Like one reviewer said. "Unprofessional and uncaring". Treatment is substandard. I've seen my puppy receive better care at the animal hospital. Wrongly diagnosed. They don't listen to the patients. Doctors, nurses and staff disappear avoid the patient's inquiries. I will never step foot in here again. Not even to visit someone. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!

Melinda Connor

I had knee surgery there in June. All staff treated me great. Even throughout my pre-screening for my surgery they were well mannered and paid attention to my every need.

Richard Chen

Your usual NYC-run hospital: it's here, it'll suffice but it'll be maddeningly slow & bureaucratic. Nearby Mount Sinai Beth Israel is much better if you can afford it.

Fahmeda Akther

I never write reviews for anything even if it's a bad service. This hospital is the worst hospital! I came here at 4 am and they kept me the whole day next day. No one came to check on me. When the doctor needed a bed, he came telling me I can go home and canceled doing my sonogram. He had no clue what I went in for and I kept asking if I can eat or drink. They didn't allow me to do anything and didn't care and sent me home. Don't ever go to this hospital. The worst hospital there is!

Marketa Salamankova

Everyone was very kind and helpful! Definitely coming again!

Igor Arkhipov

I have been there twice and both times it was a professional and competent well done job. Thank you guys!

Zev Diamond

Worst hospital ever !!!!!! Very poor teamwork and not willing to showing the capability of multitasking and very weak bedside manner !!!!!! It feels as if your closed up from the outside world !!!!!!

Solomon Mizrahi

Wish there was a no star option, I've spent the past 4 hours sitting on a foot doctor to show up so the foot doctor can refer me to an orthopedic. Why make me wait and have the foot doctor refer me when the doctor on sight could of done the same thing 3 hours earlier! Hands down the worst place to go to.

Robert Lefkowitz

Dr. Ftiha left my 84 yr old father sitting in the emergency for a full day but he "advised" he stay overnight. If you're so worried, why is he in the ER for 24 hrs and never came down to see him even once? Felt like we were being sold a computer w/ extended warranty.

Ak Kob

My family member was treated in this hospital. The staff were fair. Unfortunately, the rounds were unstructured and the rooms were in desperate need of upgrades. The window had tape covered in mold. Yak. If you need quick service - come here, but only for short term treatment.

DIY Implementer

Went there when I sprained my ankle. Got immediate care. Thank you, Dr.Olga! Really appreciate it.

Taco Johnson

This is the worst hospital I've been to. I slipped, hit my head, passed out and vomited. I visited an urgent care and they referred me to this hellhole hospital for a CT scan. The physician decided instead that I had gastritis (?!?!), and discharged me. I visited another hospital the next day and they confirmed that, OBVIOUSLY, I had a concussion, which has left me with symptoms for the last six weeks. The hospital is filthy, the staff is rude, they don't care about your health, and they will submit fraudulent claims to your insurance company.

Elliott Glenn

my mother is 91 and was released with a fractured knee and was sent home to be by herself without any recommendation of rehab, , which is what they should of done..... she was also left on a gurney for 5 hours just sitting there because nobody bothered to ask for help but when i made calls to the hospital we did get some results , very poorly run hospital

Elliott Kelly

You can get good care at this hospital

Babken Mkrtchyan

It was great
