    As a patient who just got discharged the day of writing this, I find just how little we've…read moredeveloped in creating a safe and caring facility for people with disturbed minds or people looking to get clean. The constant reprimands of the staff (specifically at night) would create an increased amount of tension in everyone on the unit. When I was restricted the day before my discharge, I was told I wouldn't be allowed to be going off units for group, fair. I wasn't not at all informed that they would confiscate all (and I mean ALL) of my clothing and possessions including woman's products and clean changes of clothes. And to top it all, when staying on unit while everyone else had left, I was not allowed to communicate or even sit near the other patients who were restricted. I understand that teenagers are not always sound of mind or judgment, but it's extremely hard to see needs not being met such as not opening any bathrooms when we desperately need it and having someone end up urinating on the seat, than it's hard to ignore and push it aside as "teenagers being dramatic". One of the most upsetting things was seeing the life being sucked out of all my peers, as they felt they were not getting the care they were promised to have received while being admitted. Even worse was seeing 14 and 15 year old girls get pumped with so many meds they turn into lethargic zombies. When I would ask what medication they were given, most of the time they were not able to answer. It's disheartening to see a system that I at some pointed wanted to contribute to so badly (I plan/planned on going to school to become an art therapist), turn out to be such a twisted tail. I will admit that there are many staff workers, at least on my unit, that were truly a pleasure to be around and made my experience a little more tolerable, and social workers and doctors (depending on who) seem to truly care about helping stabilizing the minds of the adolescents on unit. In conclusion, the fries are baller!

    I have been quite hesitant to write a review about this craphole of a psych hospital but it does…read moreneed to be addressed if it already hasn't been. 8 years ago I had a severe relapse of my neuropsychiatric condition that began back in 2009. 8 years ago I was transferred to this hospital from Stony Brook University hospital and man was I in for a rude awakening! Don't let the outside of the place fool you, disguised as a homely location with flowers and all. The care is very subpar and almost nonexistent. I've never been treated with such disrespect. The nurses were rude and almost had a holier-than-thou attitude about the patients here, it's as almost if they didn't really care at all and was just there for the paycheck. I could not even talk to the medication nurse as she was unbelievably snappy and curt. Even the doctors were unprofessional. They don't fully listen to your immediate concerns, not using careful deductive logic & input from the patient and not only that but over-prescribe you meds that you probably don't even need. (I know I didn't, since then I have successfully tapered off most of those medications, SUCK ON THAT!) I also could not sleep at all because of the other patients making noise and being a constant threat to my safety and sanity. We were often mixed in as general population inmates in a prison and you never know whether you've made a friend or an enemy. Sharing rooms with others was pure hell. The suicide watches were disturbing as someone who is always watching a patient while you're trying to sleep. Who the hell wants someone there watching while you sleep!? Uncomfortable. The front desk would not take your requests seriously, at one point I complained that the heating was set way too hot and they said that the plumbers were working on it. Days later, and we're still in 80 degree heat. Unpleasant. In short, this was no picnic, it was hell. I think I might have actually gotten worse while there, so I opted to leave after 2 or 3 weeks. (thanks to my family and my brother who angrily said to the staff that did not belong there!) I instead preferred to recover at home which provided me the quiet and safety I needed for my unique position as I was very sensitive and am a shy quiet individual. I'm glad to report I am doing much better 8 years later living my best life and can speak freely when I say that this place ABSOLUTELY SUCKS! IT DID NOTHING FOR ME - If you ever have a crisis, DO NOT GO HERE. PERIOD. (I only gave a 2-star review as it wasn't all completely bad. The food was delicious and tasty, almost gourmet. I even enjoyed the turkey sandwiches they brought out after late-night, it was the only thing that calmed me in there. There was also one nurse I remember who was the ONLY one kind enough to treat us with some bit of dignity and respect)

    Excellent Doctor,Neurology is his specialty.I have been seeing him since 2005…read more He treats anxiety also.Offices in Long Island and Queens

    I've seen Dr. Jasjit Singh referred by my ENT doctor, in order to check me out for imbalance…read moreissues, nothing else, as it states on my referral. However, he asked me some questions about anxiety, but I told him, that I just have some stress and trouble sleeping due to a job loss and the uncertainty of unemployment. I knew, where this was going, so I told him clearly, that I'm not depressed and I don't want any anti-depressants, because they have severe side effects like suicidal and homicidal thoughts, so I want to stay away from garbage like Ritalin, etc. He promised to prescribe me something natural and then what did he prescribe? Escitalopram, which has the following side effects: suicidal thoughts or other mood changes, seizures, anxiety, feeling agitated, angry or irritable, racing thoughts, impulsive behavior, restlessness, loss of balance or coordination, loss of memory, hallucination, loss of contact with reality, trouble sleeping, vomiting, increased sweating, etc. He only did some exercises for less, than 5 minutes with me, like hold your arm like this, step forward like that, look left and right, that's it. No instruments, measurements, nothing! When we talked about my off-balance issues, when walking up the stairs, I mentioned on the side to one of his questions, that I have a little forgetfulness. Then he took that word and wrote in his report, that I have loss of memory, which is a lie. If he doesn't know the difference between forgetfulness and loss of memory, then he is not a doctor, but a quack, a charlatan and his medical license should be revoked. I did mention to him, that I needed a report from him based on tests measured by instruments, but he wrote his report without any such exams first. However, he asked me for my ENT records, which I later sent to him, but he shouldn't have based it on another doctor's results, just because he didn't have any instruments and didn't know, where to send me to measure neurological results, not ENT results. He should have had his own measurable exams, but he didn't. So those few exercises were too basic to base any report on. Hence my impression was, that this "doctor" is not a doctor at all, but a cheat, who should be rather called Dr. Pillman, because all, he does, is hand out dangerous anti-depressants like candy, even though I told him specifically, what kind of medication I don't want. Because the Escitalopram, he prescribed, was also an anti-depressant with the same side effects, which caused some killing tragedies in the news, so the FDA and the Health Department shouldn't even allow these anti-depressants to be prescribed and sold at all, because that in and of itself is a crime! And this quack is a willing, immoral servant of the system, so the system won't condemn him, which is why I'm writing my critique here on Yelp, where free speech still exists and customers' opinions still matter, in order to warn other patients NOT to see this "doctor", unless they want to get much sicker, than they already are. Stay away from this charlatan and run as fast, as you can! Save yourselves! Be smart!
