He said he had to immediately go to the hospital to get it drained and he recommended I go to St. Francis. My father being stubborn refused any hospital visit at first but finally we got him to go. When we drove into the parking lot I thought I would walk my father to the ER but the walk was too much. A staff exiting noticed us and helped us into the nearest entrance which was not the ER. He got us a wheelchair and even wheeled us to the ER. That was very nice of him considering he was on his way out. At the ER the triage nurse took a look at the cardiologist's papers and listened to the story while examining my father. They were patient with him even though he was getting cantankerous. The whole process took 20 to 30 minutes and we were let into the ER. My father was placed in a bed in the hallway. There were lots of beds in the hallway. They looked very busy. A doctor came and examined my father and ordered a chest X-ray and blood tests. The nurse expertly inserted a needle in, drew blood and left a space for the IV to go in the future. My father was not happy about the needle but they were reassuring to him. They gave me a chair and we waited. An X-ray machine came to us and they did a chest x-ray right at the bedside. The doctor came and said that the water was not in his lungs but around. She prescribed some strong intravenous diuretic. When he had to go to the bathroom, he refused to use the urinal so they used this contraption I've never seen before that wheels him to the bathroom and allows him to sit on the toilet. He had to go every 2 hours and was pretty demanding. But they stopped what they were doing to help me get him to the bathroom. They gave me a chair to sit next to him. They asked if I wanted anything. He was admitted but there was no room so we waited. A cardiologist came and patiently explained what was wrong (he has afib) and his options. He's stubborn so a pacemaker was out so the doctor prescribed him a beta blocker. I ask for food for him the first night but it never came which was one of the few complaints I had. I asked several times but I never got any menu for him till the afternoon of the next day. I managed to get him dinner, and breakfast. The food is probably the best hospital food I've seen. It is however tasteless (no salt because of people with high blood pressure. Finally, on Sunday we were discharged and we managed to get lunch before we left. They took care of everything and the process was smooth. Overall it was a good hospital with good people trying to give the patients the best care.

Boost Wellness Review: Roslyn, New York…read more As someone who used to frequent public contrast therapy spots back in Arizona, stepping into Boost Wellness in Roslyn felt like an entirely different league. My wife and mother-in-law gifted me sessions here for my birthday, and after seeing the setup, I immediately traded my initial package in for a monthly subscription. It's easily one of the best ways to spend a weekend. What sets this place apart immediately is the privacy and the quality of the equipment. Back in Arizona, cold plunging meant piling into shared, public tubs and cycling through communal saunas where everyone is on display. At Boost, you get your own private rooms. My go-to routine is the contrast therapy: * Round One: 20 minutes in the private infrared sauna, which comes loaded with bluetooth speakers so you can sync your phone and play a podcast or music, followed by 3 minutes in the cold plunge. * Round Two: 10 more minutes in the sauna, followed by another 3 minutes in the plunge while stretching out to get the blood flowing. While they do offer a cryo option, I much prefer their actual cold water plunge tubs. Afterwards, I head over for a 10-minute session in the red light therapy room. Unlike older setups I've used where the light panels are fixed far away, their multi-light therapy panels are on wheels. You can roll them right up close to get full-body exposure, and the room has a nice built-in breeze so you don't overheat. They also have top-tier compression therapy chairs that double as actual massage chairs--brand new, pristine, and incredibly comfortable. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the manager got me set up smoothly on a credit-based system. Contrast therapy runs you two credits since it covers both hot and cold cycles, and the monthly membership gives me 12 credits to play with--perfect for hitting three solid therapies once a weekend. At over 50, I'm doing this to stay strong, mobile, and young for as long as possible. Whether you're already dialed into the science popularized by Wim Hof or just starting to look into the longevity and recovery benefits of cold water and infrared therapy, Boost Wellness is unmatched. The facility is spotless, state-of-the-art, and worth every visit. Highly recommend.

It is rare to find such a broad range of high-quality services offered in one place with this level of cleanliness, care, and professionalism.

When my daughter told her that she is having fever and coughing with blood for a day or two, she still insisted we made appointment online, because they were busy, appointments were lined up for 15 minutes apart. I totally understood that Urgent Care must be very busy, especially at this time of the year. However, what is the point of having a "Urgent" Care Clinic, if people knew they would be sick ahead of time. Also, turning away sick patients on the spot is such an unprofessional act. Shame on Northwell Health!

The St Frances Hospital & heart center of Nassau County, I was told is tops, so I agreed go there…read morewhile I was having a heart attack while visiting in the area. 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.
