Unfortunately I don't have health insurance, and I made sure to tell the lady at the desk but rudely and out loud yelled out "am I ready to pay over a thousand dollars" why was that necessary?

I was surprised to see the poor reviews this group received but I found it to be just the opposite…read more I only had an evaluation and I can't attest to surgical skills Last year I went to see Dr. Lastihenos from the group for right shoulder pain . He was very knowledgeable and professional and made me feel very comfortable. Although the building is old the office itself is clean and neat and the office managers are very friendly and polite . I was administered a cortisone shot and had X-ray s and an MRI . Although the MRI showed I did have a small rotor cuff tear he suggested Physical Therapy and did not push surgery My shoulder got better over time so far no surgery needed ! Now my other shoulder is bothering me . So today was back to see Dr . Lastihenos . Once again pleasant and professional . Still following COVID rules , masks and distancing . Great staff ! Had X-rays and a cortisone shot... Hope it works otherwise PT next !

If your looking for a orthopedic dr . Avoid Dr Tabershaw if possible / I had a torn meniscus and…read morewas told it could be repaired . Of course when the time came for the operation I got '' I'm sorry but we could not repair your meniscus and had to remove it ??? Or cut the piece that they could not repair . That was the start of my downhill spiral into a total knee replacement by another doctor ! If I could only go back in time !!!! I was told by three orthopedic surgeons that there is no repairing that problem at my age , and if I were 20 it might work but not in my fifties ! There is no blood supply at my age to that area . How do you repair an area that can't heal ? I use to run , kneel , play golf .. not any more after this mess . Don't take any doctors word ! Get a second opinion I'm so sorry I did not ! My life is ruined just at retirement ... don't go to a surgeon unless you want surgery! It's all about the money . The oath they took is out the window for a fat ck from the Ins company .

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.

By the time I was done, I felt great and they sent me on my way with all the tools I needed. I am now being treated for a Rotator Cuff injury that I was told by my Orthopedic surgeon would probably not work but again, Todd, Rich & Nick are treating me on my way to recovery. I feel great and they are once again have given me the tools to improve my chances of NOT getting surgery. Erica who is one of the PT assistants is great! She is friendly, funny and knows exactly what I need every time I go. I highly recommend these guys for all your PT needs!!! I never have to wait to be treated, they are funny, friendly and most important very concerned and in tune to my needs for what I need to recover!

My husband and I went to a couple of physical therapy offices in our area,…read more BayShore, before my scheduled right knee replacement on May 3, 2023. We were both impressed by the quiet and calm energy in the office. I finished with my occupational therapy at home on May 26. My recovery has been taking longer than anticipated. I first met with Nash at Maximum Motion for my evaluation on June 2. She's very friendly, kind, intelligent, supportive and attentive. I especially like that. I've unfortunately been to physical therapy too many times in my 60 years and it's never a plus if the therapists aren't listening to their patients. On June 6th and every other day after I've had the pleasure, and I mean that, of meeting and working with Kenny, Kevin, Olivia, Allison and the lovely and pleasant Jenn who greets us with warmth, kindness and a beautiful smile. I've only ever spoken with Kim on the phone but she is just as delightful as the rest of the staff. The atmosphere is laid back but hands-on. I've never liked physical therapy because of my many maladies something else always inevitably happens that causes pain elsewhere to debilitate me, because I wasn't being listened to. I don't worry about that with these beautiful people. Care is given, and no one is ever given more than they know each patient can handle. They each have a wicked sense of humor and, as a patient, it's their easy camaraderie that makes going there especially comfortable and even fun. I actually look forward to going back. We highly recommend checking them out.
