TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. The care provider I had had come in 3 times in 10 minutes to see if I had peed in the cup after the nurse had rushed out of the room before I could tell her I could not pee but I had tried and I did so the third time she came in she was very rushy. She was asking me the questions I answered and let her know I was in a whole ton of pain and I was crying on and off. The care provider had said she will check the pee and be back with results. We wait a while. She comes back letting me know that the best she can do is a pelvic exam. From there I had asked her to see if I could have an ultrasound because I have had terrible non stop cramping in the lower back and legs as well for about 5 months along with terrible periods and my PCP had told me that I can and absolutely should go to the hospital to get an ultrasound and I had told the care provider that my pcp recommended it and she said that’s something he does over there at your clinic and was giving a whole bunch of snotty attitude and absolutely refusing to give me an ultrasound bc she had let me know they only give out ultrasounds if your pregnant and she just kept repeating that with different wording as I was trying to explain and she just absolutely refused me an ultrasound. Moving on from that I agreed to the pelvic signed papers and then we started the pelvic. She had me change in the bathroom come out. She rushed to get my feet in the stirrups rushed to get me scooted down and so I did and right as I was going to tell her I’m very sensitive to pelvic exams she shoved the speculum inside me letting me know it was going to be cold that’s all while she was half way through it and was not gentle at all. I shouted it hurt and kept shouting ow she completely ignored me and told me now it’s time for the swab she swabbed me and I was having VERY bad pain already. I started crying and she continued to ignore me pulled it out quickly and said your all set I’ll get that back to you. As I was crying in front of her saying that hurt she looked at me dead faced and walked out. The pain had gotten much much worse after that. She came back in after a long time me and my boyfriend I had with me had fallen asleep. I’m woken with papers shoved in my hands and attitude telling me it’s only yeast which I had been told by the doctor before her I had seen the day prior which I told her and she gave me that one pill that clears everything in 24-72 hours and I walked out limping and waddling and crying. I wish I could make this up I apologize for the detail but it needed to be said I feel violated and uncared for.

Went to the emergency room with my son for breathing problems while we were visiting NH. Went in with the expected wait time of NYC emergency rooms but it was surprisingly fast and all the caregivers from the front desk to the PA,RN and respiratory therapist were nothing short of amazing. My son was coughing 15 min straight reaching there and we were stressed out to the core. He walked out without a cough after two hours and couldn't thank enough for the care. Also thanks to the wonderful family that let us go in before their kid.

I had an MRI this morning which for me is a bit scary. The staff this morning was so kind and helpful, explaining the process both before and as it was happening. I never felt as if I were just another job for them. They were very comforting and the process went seamlessly. I wish I could remember their names, but a huge thank you to both ❤️

We had a great experience with the nurses and doctors at Memorial especially in the Orthopedic medicine unit. My mom received phenomenal care from Zach(RN) and others including Dr Finney who helped to set her arm after a bad fracture. I am very confident in the care team managing her healing and recovery.

This hospital is a joke. If you can’t be diagnosed using a thermometer and a blood pressure cuff, I encourage you to seek help somewhere else from doctors who actually care about helping people and not just being able to afford a new set of nails each month. Staff will regularly “forget” to send important referrals to other hospitals, give you misinformation about which medications to take, and will refuse to order a CT scan to confirm appendicitis if you “don’t look like you’re in enough pain.” (Shoutout to the ER nurses, it was appendicitis by the way and I needed emergency surgery.) When the doctors at this hospital gain some empathy, respect, and figure out how to treat a patient- let me know.
