    North Shore University Hospital - After blood taken from me

    I was transferred here from NSLIJ Valley Stream aka Franklin Hospital on Jan.19th to receive an…read moreemergency surgery. Unlike the first location, the team was incredibly responsive, lead with empathy and explained every step of the way. Dr. Jeffrey Richmond who did my surgery is a saint. He legit saved my life. Once out of surgery, I was sent to recover on 7 Tower- with an award winning team of nurses and pcas who were all so sensitive to my condition and did their best to make me feel comfortable and heal with integrity. Special shout-out to my nurses: Emily, Scheno, Gabby Marc ( PCA), Khiki ( vein expert ) and Patrick from PT who didn't just help me to work on my mobility but gave me pep talks when was becoming emotionally challenged. Shout out to Scott in 4 Tower. Amazing nurse Unfortunately I have been back twice. The ER waiting time is unforgiving. I checked in after 1:00 PM and did not get a bed until after 1 the next morning. Visiting hours are 24 hrs and valley parking is available. The 24 hrs is tricky as they have "quiet time" starting 9:30 PM but if your roommate has guest until 2:00 AM, then you might not get rest. Meals are decent and well balanced. Typical breakfast: French toast and eggs, juice and fruit. Lunch/ dinner: a chicken or fish and mashed potatoes etc. They even throw in a little Hagan Daaz or icy. Critical care: 8/10 Quality of care: 10/10 Facility: 10/10 Food: 8/10

    This has to be one of the worst emergency rooms in the country, definitely in New York. My wife got…read moreto the hospital into the emergency room on her own accord at around 8 o'clock on a Saturday night. She was finally discharged at around 5:30 the following morning with absolutely zero findings, still in pain. They actually asked her to return if she still had pain, but they were discharging her with pain. She was called after almost an hour back to the emergency ward out of the waiting room and placed on a stretcher in the corridor by the nurses station for about 10 hours. Apparently no rooms available, even though there were two empty ones. They didn't check on her or ask her if she needed anything. It took hours between CT scan and ultrasound to get any kind of results. We will never even consider this location for any emergencies in the future and you should not as well. I think there was a major failure in the nursing staff because it's their responsibility to make sure that patients are comfortable and informed. Why my wife was standing, waiting to get her discharge papers with IV still in her arm absolutely unacceptable.

    My childhood best friend had a beautiful baby boy, and I attended a Brit Mila ceremony conducted by…read moreDr. Dania Rumbak. In conversations before the bris, I knew that my friend was nervous about the process, the ceremony, and the actual circumcision. I can say with confidence that Dr. Rumbak put the family's mind at ease both with her expertise and her gentle approach. As a "spectator" at the ceremony, Dr. Rumbak passed around sheets so we can all follow along and feel part of the ceremony, and explained what different blessings meant. She also added some Jewish text in a modern and relevant way, which I appreciated, and my family continued to discuss post ceremony. The sweet baby did super well and was calm throughout the entire process. Truthfully, I didn't even know when the actual circumcision actually happened because she was so gentle and discrete. At the end of the ceremony, many people went up to Dr. Rumbak to compliment her on one of the best brit mila's they ever went to, and many asked for her card (including my mom for our temple!). She has a great business partner in Shachar, who socialized with the guests of the ceremony, kept everything organized, and was just an all around stand up guy. Oh, and how great that she is a mohel AND a doctor. Talk about putting your mind at ease..that will definitely do it. Highly recommend.

    Would have loved so much to give a glowing review of Dr. Rumbak but unfortunately we look back on…read morethe day of my son's bris and what transpired after with a lot of sadness. Dr. Rumbak deserves credit and thanks for her discretion in not circumcising our son the day of his bris due to a urological condition she noticed in her ore-ceremony examination. We are thankful for that. She performed what essentially worked out to a baby naming ceremony for us. Obviously the day was emotional to begin with and the news she couldn't circumcise was extremely disappointing and heartbreaking since this was a day we looked forward to for so long. In the days after the bris we were able to absorb the events better and realized exactly what happened. To begin with, my wife asked for a program to keep as they were being collected (yes, collected), and the response was, "I collect them." She said the same to my mom (baby's grandma). We consider this ridiculous - even if the baby's grandparents couldn't have one, at least the parents should. When I emailed Dr. Rumbak about the issue I'm about to describe, I also mentioned the program and that part of my email was left unaddressed. Here's the major problem, though. We paid $800 for a circumcision plus $150 for travel from Manhattan to Nassau. We were happy to do this because we really liked Dr. Rumbak on the phone. However, after the bris, we had a bit of a realization that really irked us. Why were we never offered any kind of refund for the circumcision not being performed? It really should have been offered that day, on the spot, but it wasn't. Days and weeks turned to months and we still were never offered anything. We didn't even get an email or phone call to check on our son given the medical issue Dr. Rumbak identified. This was surprising given the emotional nature of the day but also because part of Dr. Rumbak's service (advertised on her web site and vouched for in her reviews) is her frequent follow up with the family. Finally after a few months, I emailed her explaining we feel we are owed some kind of refund due to the most critical part of the ceremony, the circumcision, not being performed. It is that expertise for which we paid. Dr. Rumbak issued a $200 refund, saying that the rate for a baby naming is $600. It's unfortunate such a beautiful day was soured by the experience we had. As new parents we feel we were, in a way, taken advantage of. Dr. Rumbak did ultimately give some money back, but we feel we shouldn't have had to ask. Experiences like this are what make people cynical about organized religion. The right thing to do would have been to give us a refund without us having to ask. We would not recommend her.

The ER care and attention was good and most of the nurses were young beautiful women. Processing was somewhat quick. What surprised me was the lack of room in the ER and then the lack of rooms. It made me wonder if the rooms were reserved for the wealthy. Don't get me wrong I was glad to be there and get help, but I have never seen anything like it. I was received to a bed in a spot in a hallway. I'm not kidding, I spent the entire night in a bed in a hallway. The good thing was that I was glad to be near a bathroom, that is, until others began using it and not just for number one, if you know what I mean. How is it that such a wealthy and well known place has no rooms for those taken in. I'm just in shock, and I would have left if I were not in such need of care. Well, the hall was at least clean. I felt like I was in some South American hospital that lacked funds. People can speak bad about the Bronx or Westchester hospitals or even Putnam county hospitals, but I have never visited one of these places and been placed in a bed in a hallway. I really don't know what else to say, except I can't wait til the morning sunshine to move on from here. I am so, so grateful for the Westchester, Putnam and Danbury, Connecticut hospitals. I will never complain about them ever again. Follow up: While there I engaged in conversations with other patients. They were more familiar with the Hospital and they had nothing but good things to say about St Frances Hospital and Heart Center. They all said that the hospital is always busy and the doctors were very good and responsive. I guess as always we live and learn. Who would have thought that beds in the hallways was a common thing in this area for this great place.
