Stony Brook is a great hospital. They care about their patients, with excellent staff and doctors…read more The lobby has a Starbucks and a Yelp-rated food court with a grill station and prepared hot food. For reference, the Starbucks closes around midnight, and the food court area closes for a short period at night and then re-opens. There are two main ways to get to the emergency department-either from the main floor and going down the escalators from the Starbucks or entering at the main ED. Pretty convenient. Parking for visitors is on the pricier side and it may be tough to find a spot earlier in the morning, but since they renovated the parking lot you should be able to find something. The breast clinic right across from the main visitor parking lot has free parking (only for patients and visitors for the breast center). For anyone looking for the surgical ambulatory care center (where they perform smaller surgeries) it's located right next to/behind the breast clinic so drive into the parking lot for the breast clinic and circle to your left and it should be right there.

I saw Dr. Alexander Stessin of Stony Brook Radiation Oncology in January 2018. I went because I…read morewas told by a surgeon at Stony Brook that I should speak to a radiation oncologist to see if I needed radiation treatments. My issue is not with the doctor himself, but rather the billing department. One month after my visit I received a bill for $335.00 (billed as Office Consult L4). This was unexpected. I was anticipating a $35 co-pay instead, as per usual if I see a specialist in my network. First I called SBRO and they transferred me to the billing dept. I was told that I was being billed as an outpatient. What? I then conferenced with SBRO secretary and my insurance co. (who asked if the code could accurately reflect a "New Patient Office Visit"). I was told they would resubmit my bill to the billing department, and the bill would be put on hold until that time. Six months later I get the same bill, no explanation. Again called my ins. co., they speak to SBRO who said I was being billed as an outpatient because SBRO is attached to the hospital (physically). I was told they would re-bill this correctly as an office visit, NOT an outpatient. I was never even treated by this doctor! In October I received the same exact bill, again no explanation. I spoke with my ins co on November 7. She spoke to SBRO staff member who would only say that their billers told her that this was the only way my visit could be billed, they had no other option. Less than a week later I received a letter from a debt collector regarding this bill. I am infuriated. There was no reason for this to be billed as an Office Consult L4. It should be correctly billed as a "New Patient Office Visit L4". The incorrect coding would cause me to pay $335 instead of my $35 co-pay.

I was late for my appointment, which I HATE! but is sometimes unavoidable. I called the front desk…read moreen route and they were so accommodating and said to come anyway. Guess I had no choice, surgery is T -3 days away! I was greeted by the most pleasant front desk staff there ever could be and the inside is brand spanking new with ample seating. If you come with a wheelchair it is easily accessible with automatic entrance doors, large door openings and spacious exam rooms. I bring my loved one to lots of appointments in a wheelchair so I am always hyper aware of this. This appointment was for myself but good to know if you need accessible accommodations. Anyway, I was seen by the most thorough PA, Elina, and she really went over all my medical history with a fine tooth comb to make sure there were no surprises on surgery day. I've only gone under the knife once at a different hospital, but it was nothing like this. They took blood work and did an EKG on-site which was nice, I didn't have to go running to a lab and have extra turnaround time. Having surgery is stressful enough but this was really a pleasant experience. I hope I never have to come back, but I do feel they took the time and had my best interests in mind. Kudos to Stony Brook Medicine!

The care received in the ER was absolutely rude and I wouldn't go back here for shit! I sure hope these people that work in that department lose there jobs one day for the way they treat their patient's. If it was there family or themselves they wouldn't be happy!

I have never posted a review on YELP or elsewhere, not even for a restaurant visit. In mid-May, I made an appointment with Dr. Kaufman for Friday, June 25 at 11:15 a.m. for laser treatment. When I arrived at the office the prescribed fifteen minutes early to update my paperwork on file, the office manager informed me that Dr. Kaufman was not in the office to meet me for my previously appointment. Since I arranged the schedule of my entire week around this date, I pointed out the inconvenience this disruption caused me. I indicated that I did not receive a phone call or text message to advise me in advance of such a change. She claimed that the office sent a letter informing me of the fact. This statement was false. I never received any form of notification. The only communication I received from the office of Stony Brook Dermatology during the previous six months of the COVID 19 pandemic was a copayment notice for previous visits. I experienced great disrespect by the conduct of the office staff in our discussions. I intend to bring my business elsewhere. I shall request that my files be transferred to a new dermatology office, such as "South Shore Dermatology" with Dr. Pardes. In my working career of over forty years, I never complained or bashed publicly hard-working people. But when I researched the other reviews on-line, I noticed that the experiences of many other clients and disgruntled former clients of Stony Brook Dermatology comported with mine regarding its front office staff. My advice to future prospective customers: "Let the buyer beware."
