After doing some research I figured out I might be a candidate for a laparoscopic robotic procedure. Lucky my health insurance company was in network with Dr Brathwaite because there was only a handful of surgeons like him that do the procedure near where I live. Took a little waiting but once everything was planned and approved , the Dr and NYU/ Winthrop facility /staff did a great job. The whole process was way better and faster than I expected. I'm 8 weeks post op now and I've been feeling normal for the past 4 weeks, returned to work after 2 weeks. Thank you Dr Brathwaite and staff I finally feel normal after several years with a deformed abdomen.

Do not trust this place at all they are all sketchy as hell and we're talking shit about a man while he was actively being tranquilized and the nurses were right outside his door talking about how he had no real reason to want to die and how he doesn't know real world pain yet till he has kids and a wife? Fucking inhumane and disgusting they violate HIPPA so much. Dr Shareef & Dr Beshay are terrible doctors and have violated my HIPPA on June 7 and released my medical information after I told them not to they told me I had NO HIPPA RIGHTS IN PSYCH!

A Lifesaving Experience for My Son's Broken Arm - Exceptional Pediatric ER & Ortho Team!…read more After a terrible experience at another hospital (Cohen LIJ), where the ER team failed us and no one followed up, we were referred to Nassau University Medical Center by our orthopedic specialist. From the moment we arrived, the care was "night-and-day different". Pediatric ER: The wait time was shockingly short, and the team was incredibly kind. My son, Tristan, was seen immediately, and 4-5 different nurses checked on him regularly, making sure he was comfortable. A compassionate Haitian doctor (I wish I got his name!) was thorough and reassuring. Emergency Surgery: We were admitted for an urgent wrist surgery due to a broken bone. The resident orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Omar Saleem (Precision Orthopedics - 161 Willis Ave Mineola), was outstanding. He took the time to explain the procedure in detail, answered all our questions with patience, and treated Tristan with so much empathy. The surgery went smoothly, and I felt confident in his expertise. Post-Op & Discharge: After a 3-hour wait (expected for emergency cases), RN Jin Young Lee handled our discharge with exceptional care. She reviewed all instructions clearly, ensured we understood follow-up care, and was genuinely kind. Hospital Environment: Yes, the building is older, but it's well-kept, clean, and organized. Even the restrooms were neat--something I don't take for granted in busy hospitals! I'm truly saddened by the negative reviews because our experience was flawless in a high-stress situation. If you need emergency care (especially pediatric) or a skilled orthopedic specialist, I highly recommend NUMC--and ask for Dr. Omar Saleem if you need bone-related care. Thank you, NUMC team, for restoring our faith in medical care!

Where they will take care of you. The staff is great but they're just so crowded. They can't help anybody.

It definitely would not recommend gonna start switching over Northwell.

I was extremely pleased with the care I received in the ER. The team communicated extremely well with me and with each other and I was kept updated continuously both with verbal updates and with test results in the App. Everything was carefully explained and the team took a thorough history of recent issues to see how and if they are connected. Throughout this, Anna was checking on me at regular intervals, making sure I was relaxed and comfortable and checking my vitals. She was efficient, personable, and wonderfully caring. I honestly never was able to feel so relaxed in an ER before and Anna was definitely one of the reasons I was so relaxed here. I will say that being brought into the ER by EMS might be a different experience than just arriving on your own and waiting in the hallway corridor where chairs are. But I can only go by my personal experience and based on that, I was completely pleased with Winthrop

But when I got my Explanation of Benefits, it said the insurance was billed over $1000 just for a standard medical exam. And they charged them over $250 for an X-Ray one per foot. Geez they need to do something or make some kind of cap on the amount you can charge for a regular exam. I mean I can see if you are getting like a shot or something, but I didn't. No wonder why insurance is so high. For that price the owner and the doctor could have took a plane to Florida round trip and had some cocktails on a beach somewhere.

Office staff are amazing especially Lenor (front office) and Troy (aide)…read more They are very personable, accommodating, and kind. My therapist is Jerry for PT and Jessica for OT. Jessica is new and she definitely knows what she's doing. I'm certain she will go very far. Jerry is *phenomenal* and is also a teacher in PT schools outside of being an actual therapist. It shows in his didactic way of interacting with his patients. He's got a great personality and educates at every opportunity he gets. He's a great therapist and definitely the best I've had for sure. If you go there for PT try to get Jerry Parackel as your therapist. I wish there was a more direct way to make a phone call to the front desk-the only real downside. The Aides are all great and the facility is top notch. New equipment and very well-maintained. 5/5 recommend!

The number…read moreis 718-818-4020 I decided to have gastric bypass this past summer after a long struggle with my weight due to PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome. I chose Dr. Barkan because his office was near to my home in Staten Island. The doctor saw me in June and discussed the two surgeries he is performing at the moment. I was initially thinking of having the gastric sleeve procedure but changed to gastric bypass on account of starting to become diabetic. I wanted to reverse my diabetes and other conditions quickly. The initial visit consists of a weigh in, meeting with the surgeon and then a review of the program pre-requisites with his nurse. You are given a list of appointments and tests that must be completed prior to scheduling surgery. They have a list of doctors that you can choose from to complete the pre-testing or you can go to your own doctors. I used all of the recommended doctors except one. I found it very easy to complete the required workup. I was finally scheduled for surgery in early August 2020 and my surgery went very well. When I returned home I had a few incidents of feeling weak and Dr. Barkan returned my calls almost immediately. I felt very cared for by Dr. Barkan. I had a complication from having food stuck in my new pouch and ended up in the emergency room screaming in pain. That was due to trying to progress through the stages too quickly and eating too large a portion of canned salmon. The initial diagnosis was small bowel obstruction which normally requires surgery. Dr. Barkan in his wisdom decided to observe me for twenty four hours instead. I avoid an unnecessary surgery and he even had his nurse come to my bedside in the hospital to troubleshoot what went wrong. His nurse spent a good half hour retracing my steps with regards to my diet. He came to see me two days in a row and gave me encouragement to slowly resume my diet again. I am doing much better but going slow with adding foods. I think Dr. Barkan is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Not to mention a great doctor. You will be safe with Dr. Barkan. Go for it!
