    Here we go, Im sure you all know Northwell is taking over…read moreBayshore. From the Extension of the hospital to new buildings up and down Main Street and Union Blvd. I think its great. This hospital was once a dump however now its an amazing hospital. From my experience I was treated with the upmost respect and awesome service . Starting from the emergency room staff. I thought I would be sitting waiting for at least 4 hrs. Its was about 1 hour and I was called in. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling well, but the nurses and Dr took very good care of me. I had pneumonia didnt even know it. I was treated with the upmost care. From transport to food service, imaging reps to blood work reps , nurses on the floor were all great. Southside has improved a lot. I would recommend this hospital for care.

    I stepped on a scissor which went through my foot. As I was on Fire island I had to be taken off by…read moreambulance boat and then by ambulance to the hospital. It was Friday at around 10:30 pm. The hospital was busy but not overly so. I was left in a hallway writhing in pain for about 3 hours. A police officer went and got me a sheet because he thought I looked cold. Nurse did not offer. A port for an IV was put in my arm and then I was just left there for hours. No pain meds. No attention. When I finally got to an er cubicle I was not offered a blanket, socks (I came in on an ambulance and was bare foot), or water. I had to urinate but they would not let me out of the bed so they handed me a bed pan. They did not help me to use it and they never came to take it away. Thankfully my husband put it on the floor. They brought me wet wipes but nothing to dry myself with. I had to use the sheet the officer gave me. I was never offered a blanket but my husband was able to get me one. I was in horrible pain for at least 4 hours. My husband asked for pain meds but was told they couldn't give anything until the doctor came. Finally they were able to give me pain meds. I showed them the port in my left arm and they said I didn't need it and did not know why it was put in. They also gave me a tetanus shot, the site of which is bruised and still swollen and painful. Finally they came to stitch me up. She poured a liquid on my foot. Left for about 10 minutes and then came back and did it again. There was blood all over my foot which they never cleaned. The doctor gave me lidocaine shots and tested the area to see if I could feel anything, which I could not, so she started stitching right away instead of waiting a while to make sure the inside was also numb. I felt every needle poke, threading, and tying and it was extremely painful. She kept telling me not to move and to keep my foot upright. It was so swollen that I could move neither my toes nor my foot but it was impossible not to jerk feeling every single stitch. I don't know why no one was there to hold my foot in the position she needed. When I was finally released they told me to keep it dry for 24 hours and to change the dressing the next day. I could not walk so we asked for a wheelchair. They did not help me in to the chair and told my husband that they do not wheel the patients out. He would have to do it himself. Then I asked how I was supposed to walk and they asked if I wanted crutches. I said I did. They asked me my height so they could adjust them. When I went to use them they were dangerously too short and I almost fell several times until someone we knew adjusted them properly. We arrived at about 10:30 and were not released until around 4 am. I went to my doctor who told me they did not do a great job but he did not think it was worth redoing. He asked me if the wound was irrigated on the inside once the lidocaine was given. I do not think it was because they started stitching immediately. He completely cleaned my foot, including all the dried blood that the hospital never cleaned, and redressed the wound. Also said not to get it wet. Terrible experience. We have a house in Fire island. If anything happens again I will never go back there. I wish they had taken me to Good Samaritan.

    I never got past the rude and condescending office staff. They insisted I needed a referral. When I…read moreinformed them that my insurance does not require a referral I was told "well it is a new office policy because some people SELF DIAGNOSE" and the insurance won't pay. WHAT?! I told her" I thought that is what diagnoses codes were for". That's not even the part that was upsetting. They let me sit there for 45 minutes before informing me of this ridiculous rule, all the while I could have called to ask for the referral. Instead they talked about me in front of me. let me sit there like a jerk and then after my doctor did send the unneeded referral, I heard her tell the doctor "that's it all done except there is a patient that had no referral and if you want you could see her or I'll just tell her to leave. So I took my copay that I paid 10 minutes before my appointment time so I could walk out completely befuddled and upset and hour later. That is one hour of my life that I will never get back thank you DrAnker staff for your rude and lasting impression. I can't leave enough reviews online so nobody else needs to be treated this way. Terrible

I am able to walk without pain and for long distances. The unbelievable thing is that I didn't have to go to the hospital or undergo general anesthesia. My surgery was done in Dr. Anker's office surgery suite. I had mild sedation and was able to literally walk out of his office. I am happy to give Dr. Anker and his entire staff my highest recommendation.
