NOTE: Maimonides Medical Centers are all screwed up here on Yelp. Not sure why that is, but it is. Maybe they're too busy to have anyone there allocated to attend to social media etc. But this review is specifically for Dr Schwartz the neurosurgeon and Dr Saleh the orthopedic doctor.
This place is BUSY. It is a very large medical center. With a ton of staff and even more patients. Your visit will not be a short one. Plan on hours. The staff is nice enough. They are obviously extremely overworked. But they'll get to you as soon as they can. It's not their fault. There's just More patients than they can handle i.e. they need to hire a bigger staff.
The atmosphere is clean bright and professional. It's not fancy. But it's also not ghetto. The staff do work hard enough to make you feel like they care about you and attend to your needs. They're not "nice" necessarily because they're just too busy to be nice. But they are efficient.
Wait times here are long. For every phase of your visit. Prepare for that. Bring a book or two.
Dr. Schwartz was excellent. His office is giant and lavish. Dark woods, carpeted. Obviously a top notch surgeon. BUT he takes time with you and gives you the attention you need to understand your issues and make decisions about your body/health. We were very impressed by his knowledge, experience, concern, and friendly bedside manner. I can honestly say I am glad to have him on our team. Recommended. read more
