I guess it is my fault. However…read more.. I was scheduled for a sonogram. Eastern LI Stony Brook before it was Stony Brook managed was an awful hospital. Awful! If you needed care you didn't go there. You traveled to the south fork or even up mid island. When Stony Brook took over things changed for the best. Word on the street was that Eastern LI was now a good place. So with that in mind I made an appointment with their radiology department. It was easy to make but as the day approached I began to have some doubts. There were none of the email or text reminders that most care facilities use. My dentist sends me so many reminders that it is actually more a nuisance than anything. So when I drove up to the hospital I wasn't too comfortable. Anyway I was proven wrong. It is an old refurbished building obviously too small for the amount of care it offered. But the place was clean, the staff friendly and efficient. Even though I was a bit early the technician took me in immediately. She was extremely friendly and professional. The room was a bit funky but all in all it was a good experience. I asked her when the results would be available. She said in 24-36 hours they would fax the results to my primary physician. Within 30 minutes I was back home sipping my morning coffee. Well... two weeks later I hadn't heard anything from my primary physician. He's very old school and tends not to contact me when the news is good. No need to know that things are good! No news is good news! Well being a somewhat neurotic person, I decided to call him and what do you know...he never received the test results. The hospital never sent the test results. So I got on the phone and called the hospital. I waited on the phone as they proceeded to fax the results. Then I called my doctor's office to see if they received the results. They did. Mission accomplished. All in all I hope never to need hospital care and if I do most likely I will try not to go to Eastern Long Island Stony Brook.

I was visiting the area over Memorial Day weekend for a wedding. I'm the best man. Day of the…read morewedding (Saturday before Memorial Day), I woke up with excruciating knee pain and couldn't stand. I thought to myself, "Well, I somehow managed to screw up the bride and groom's day of days." I came to this hospital's ER around 9am. They took me in immediately, had me in a bed with nurses checking me in within 10 min of arrival. Then they had a PA check me within 20 min of arrival. X-Rays and ultrasound occurred within 45 min of arrival. A little over an hour after arrival, the doctor and PA came and evaluated the test results with me and checked my knee again. Even though the test results were elusive, they took care of everything, gave me instructions on what to do, and gave me something to handle inflammation. I was out by 10:45am. I thought I was in disbelief when I randomly woke up with excruciating pain on this day... really though, the true disbelief came from getting everything handled so fast. I made it on time for all wedding activities despite everything. I was able to stand up, walk around, make my speech, and even dance (a little bit) during the wedding. The staff was professional, down to earth, kind and caring, and efficient. I might have come in at a good time, but is there really any good time to visit a hospital on the far edge of Long Island over a holiday weekend? No, I think not. THANK YOU for saving the day! The hospital staff defied Murphys Law and we (the wedding party, bride and groom, everyone) are thankful.

It took three months for a nurse to properly request prior authorization for a much needed medication, and we ended up paying out of pocket for it. They tell you to leave prescription refill requests on the prescription line, but either no one monitors that line or it doesn't work. One particular receptionist, I believe she is the office manager, is extremely rude and condescending. She doesn't want to listen. She interrupts and talks over people when they are trying to explain something. Not just me, but I witnessed her treating others the same while waiting in the waiting room. Based on a particularly biased comment she made to a coworker, which was heard in the waiting room, it seems she doesn't care much for the elderly either.
