    Back in the late spring of 2008, I had a minor medical condition that required some surgical…read morecondition. I mean, I know most people grow football-sized tumors in their spleens...right? *ahem* Well, regardless, I needed a fabulous doctor to kind of nip that one in the bud before it became soccer ball-sized. Dr. Allendorf is both a professor at Columbia University's College of Physicians & Surgeons and an attending surgeon at NY-Presbyterian's Columbia University Medical Center. He specializes in liver, pancreas, and endocrine surgery. I'm honestly not sure where "spleen" falls in those category, if at all, but Dr. Allendorf kindly took me in and fixed me up all shiny and new. He is an extremely kind doctor and very straight-forward about what I was dealing with. He is soft-spoken and I felt extremely comforted by him. While hospitalized, he would check on me on occasion, and he was very thorough with his post-surgery follow-ups on me. As a current employee of NY-Presbyterian, I do see him on the rare occasion I am doing work in the ORs or PACU areas at CUMC. I even see him eating lunch sometimes outside of the Sage cafeteria. Perhaps, one day, I will actually have the nerve to walk up to him and say thank you. I will refrain from lifting up my shirt to show him my scar and exclaiming, "Remember...THIS?!" I try to have SOME class while at work. ;-) But in all seriousness, he is a fabulous doctor. I highly recommend him. As a possible future patient, you will be in skilled and competent hands. (I mean that quite literally as well as figuratively.)

    Hospital stuck in 1960s. Old and worn equipment everywhere, the post that hold the IV are rusted,…read morelots of discolored rusted equipment. Bathrooms not clean as they should be in a hospital setting. Tiny emergency room. When you arrive to the ER there are guards on the street checking you go into the hospital parking which is $12 an hour, meanwhile there's free parking for emergency room patients. The guard are a bunch of geniuses trying to figure how to let you in. The nurses are hit or miss as far as being good, we had a good one so shout out to Stephanie on the first floor because she was the only one that was golden, the rest dwindle between mediocre to plain done w nursing so their goal is doing the minimum. The doctors were in that same wavelength, the ER doctor was supposed to visit and when he did he wasn't that informative as to what was happening. They did a CT scan and never came back to let us know the results. The day doctor for sure didn't read the chart because was giving us different info, the chief Dr Jerwyn was despondent, condescending and leaves much to be said about bedside manner, she is truly the example of being too smart doesnt equal being right to lead. I dread to think how her staff suffers. No case worker came to give us the whole picture of whats happening so we had to piece together the puzzle. Overall it served its purpose on an emergency but long term care is not recommended.

    I went to the ER at St Francis since they are a heart hospital. My blood pressure was 187 over 100…read more I went to urgent care for a UTI and they took my blood pressure. I waited in the waiting room for 6 hours with heart problems at St Francis. A lady with back pain went in before me.I was there for 12 hours (too much time) there was a horrible nurse named nurse Michelle who ruined everything for me.The doctors were very attentive and good.Nurse Michelle was horrible. I had an ekg they compared it to previous ones. My ankles were swollen and I had jaw pain.They did alot of tests. They X-rayed my heart to make sure there was no fluid on it. They did alot of tests. They tested my heart with blood tests I forgot what it was called.In of my heart and blood pressure they said not only do I need a higher dose of blood pressure meds I need to take it morning and night. Twice a day.But I'm almost out my pcp did not prescribe more. They did not prescribe more at the hospital. They said see your PCP. ( I had to take 4 to reduce my blood pressure. )They said it wears off so I need to take it twice a day My liver enzymes are normal now. quite miraculous.It used to be 600. I also had an MRI I had 4 at HSS and HSS does have much better x rays(they put them in color and on video) The MRI was much better at St Francis.They put a heart monitor on and it's much shorter. The discharging doctor was very nice. He had a fight with the nurse. He wanted to let me go home and she wanted to keep me. I suspect she gets a commission for it. He said the ER is to make sure you don't die. He said I am confident you won't die. There was no reason to keep me.I was there for 12 hours anyway. She got mad. The MRI was great.I Had several doctors they were all good but I Had to wait too long with no updates and heart problems and it was freezing it's not conducive to health and I'm sneezing it's freezing in there so I can't give it a good rating.
