Best 15 MD and Hospital near Bronx, NY (Part 4)

Vanessa Keesler My 82-year-old father arrived by ambulance due to chest pains and pain going down his left arm. Doctor Sharona Schneid gave him Tylenol and was going to discharge him without doing any type of tests. I had to demand medical care in an emergency room. I am now reading the visit notes, and she put we came in for “generalized body aches”. I don’t think anyone would spend money on an ambulance for “body aches”. She also entered false information about his physical check/appearance. Not sure how you can determine all of that information after three minutes. I tried to call for a patient advocate, but of course the number is not in service. If a senior citizen with chest pains is not a priority in an emergency room, then I am afraid for others. I will not be returning to this Hospital ever again, and do not recommend anyone else visit. Update 2.22.25- The director of customer service and patient experience sent me a letter with her findings of my complaint, Which are even more fabricated than the doctor’s visit notes. These employees are very dangerous to the health and safety of the citizens of Mount Vernon.

Lesley Charlene Robinson-Smiley Im actually still a patient in the hospital right now. Only problem I have is the food is to bland. So nasty. They definitely need a better cook. But the staff is amazing. Kerri Ann, kat, and the entire 4th floor ICU and the entire 5th floor staff is amazing. They definitely goes above and beyond for the patients. The doctors are amazing. Wonderful nurse staff. They talk with patients and explain everything in details. Attitudes are amazing. Definitely no complaints. Housekeeping is amazing. Transport is amazing. Basically the entire hospital staff is amazing. All Im saying is thank you for everything

Kingsford Attiah The team was incredibly helpful—special shoutout to Jonathan and Excier for their outstanding service!

Linda Saunders Went to medical center ER. Dr. Cataquet was horrible. Very condescending and asked me why I came to ER if I have a specialist. I said I can’t breathe and have a headache for two weeks. The Dr. Then said I have no pain meds to give u. I never asked for pain medication. I asked for u to find out what’s going on. Everyone that was of color he treated like sh…. But there was a Caucasian man that he treated like gold and even applied his splint himself. I complained to a few people about his behavior and I was told u are not the first to complain. It was another couple that left because of his attitude. I’m disappointed in this hospital and doctor.

Saul Piazza Ive been to this ER a few times on different days & times of the week in the past years. The care is always the same. Professional,caring and compassionate. The ER is crowded, its the Bronx. Waiting is something we have no control over. Its also triage. The person requiring more immediate care will get care before others. Honorable mention to Gary Scott M.D. So glad hes there at Monte/Einstein. Gr8 doctor!!!

Tatiana Besshaposhnaia I want to express my deepest gratitude to the doctors and nurses who took care of me. Thanks to the doctors for their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. And a special thank you to the nurses Carmen, Maureene, Tanya and others - who carry warmth in their hearts and truly care for their patients. Your kindness and support made a difficult time a little easier, and I will always be grateful.

kamatie kemraj I had the pleasure of having Dr. Edwin Pan as my OB/GYN for the delivery of my son on 12/24/24, and I couldnt be more grateful for his care and expertise. From the very first appointment, Dr. Pan and his team made me feel supported, listened to, and confident in my pregnancy journey. His professionalism, compassionate approach, and attention to detail truly set him apart. When it came time for delivery, I knew I was in the best hands. Dr. Pan was calm, reassuring, and efficient, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and comfortable. His team was also outstanding, providing exceptional care and support every step of the way. I can’t recommend Dr. Edwin Pan highly enough. If youre looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and truly dedicated doctor, hes the one to trust. Thank you, Dr. Pan, for making the birth of my son such a positive and memorable experience!

Anjalay Edwards- White I love Dr. Miller as my OB! Hes very patient and kind! I wish he could birth my baby but unfortunately, he wont be able to. Otherwise I really believe I found someone who cares!

Oben Ayuk This hospital is just along the road and accessible. Parking around the hospital is not easy to find. The building is extremely tall. The security personnel was extremely helpful. He provided us with all information needed. The doctor and nurse that attended to us were extremely kind and friendly. Am grateful to all the hospital staff.

Manny Encarnacion I walked in a crying man and left out with a smile on me face! I recently had the privilege of being cared for by Ashley Lee RN, and I cannot express enough how exceptional her service was. From the moment I arrived, Ashley greeted me with a warm smile and a genuine sense of compassion. Her professionalism and expertise were evident as she guided me through my treatment, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Ashley took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. Her attention to detail and dedication to her patients truly set her apart. I felt safe and well-cared for under her watchful eye, and her positive attitude made a challenging experience much more manageable. It’s clear that Ashley is not just a skilled nurse but also a wonderful person who genuinely cares about her patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly give her a 5-star rating and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of medical care. Thank you, Ashley, for your outstanding service and compassion!

Samuel Ramos This place is a joke! Very unprofessional staff.

Katiuska Salcedo Very good service

Ruth Mcdaniels Their surgery scheduling is the worst,they tell you one time an dont see you for hours and hours.Just like Mt Sinai, I wonder if they are connected . This is a mental mill.

T PEREZ On March 2nd 2020, I was told that I can bring my daughter in as a walk in Mondays- Fridays from 8am to 10:30am. On March 3rd 2020 I brought my daughter in as a walk in. I got there at 10am I was told that my daughter cannot be seen today. I said why not, the receptionist said to me, your daughter cannot be seen today. I said why, she said we do not accept walk ins. I said I called on March 2nd 2020, I was told that I can bring my daughter as a walk in. So she was not trying to hear me out. I said, can I speak to a supervisor. I explained to the supervisor that I called and emailed my daughters doctor and I also called the 1650 1650 Selwyn Avenue 3rd floor was told that my daughter can come in as a walk in, plus I wasted $20 on a taxi, the supervisor said unfortunately theres nothing I can do. I said there is something you can do my daughter needs to be seen this morning, I have to go to work this afternoon and today before 1pm is my only day and time to do this. I work and go to school the rest of the week. Theres nothing we can do said the supervisor. I am not coming back to this hospital for services for my child. The staff are unprofessional, give false information over the phone, give you a hard time to reschedule appointment, nasty, lazy do not want to help the patients and have you sitting there for a long time. This hospital forgot that the patients is the ones that pays their bills and give them a paycheck. I do not recommend this hospital.

Saniya T Bellamy Any and every time you have an appointment at this ghetto clinic you’re waiting way past your appointment time. They’re empathetic towards your time, and will constantly lie and tell you you’re next. The providers bedside manners are absurd, and requesting medication is like pulling teeth! That includes work orders/requisitions as well. The staff here is a disappointment to the Montefiore name. Overall it seems that Montefiore would rather their boost in numbers for patients rather than patient care being top tier. Nurses feel that patients waiting for hours is okay because they are “busy” or tired. You signed up for this job, DO your JOB

Irvin Solano They close the doors 15 minutes before the posted closing time. - I tried dropping off paper work and the security guard looks at me and wouldn’t even open the door to ask why I was there. Good staff, free parking lot with a couple of spots available at any given time. Definitely would not recommend parking during alternate side parking times, it can be hard to find parking on those days.

Lala Higgins Won’t dentist ever, walk in are from 9am - 11am but they only accept 5 people. After that you have to make a appointment. That’s not a walk in center. They could clearly see my mouth swollen and I made sure to call and spoke to someone the day before. Who told me to get there at 9am I was on that line since 8:30 am. If I knew before hand they only see 5 people as walk in I would have went home . I was the 6th person in line. Black lady standing there is rude and disgusting. If I could give no stars I would. If there was a sign there that said they only accepting 5 people I would have left. Also no appointments until next year .

Ladii Butterfly The workers are nice but getting an appointment here is hard. They hardly have openings and if there is one its in like 3months. Calling them to make an appointment is a hassle you can hardly get someone on the line. When you do get someone on the phone theyll tell you to call back next Friday.

Kiara Ramos I recently had my baby 9-24-24 at this hospital. At first I was scared because of all the negative reviews HOWEVER I’m very happy with my decision with the nurses and labor and delivery team. They answered my call button quickly the nurses were very friendly and helpful they made sure that me and my baby boy were taken very good care of. I had my own private room with free T.V. The food was very delicious and had flavor.upon discharge I was given a free diaper bag filled with baby Essentials and postpartum care plus not to mention a free beautifully made fruit basket filled with cakes and fruit. I would most definitely come back here again and I highly recommend the labor and delivery unit . Thank you St.Barnabas for your excellent service !!

Tiffany Derroches if you have a real medical emergency that needs immediate care DO NOT COME HERE!!! for the sake of your own life if you value it, please don’t come here. my biggest regret was coming here when i was experiencing a severe asthma attack/anaphylactic shock. i have never cried so much & the lack of urgency and communication and care in my life. the initial resident doctor who interviewed me to gather information was pleasant but literally everything she said they were going to do such as take covid rsv flu test and xray to check for pneumonia they didn’t do until i had to continuously ask. while i was sitting in this filthy deplorable emergency room (check photo) just absolutely disgusting filthy walls filthy bathroom just literally will make you sick sitting there. anyway, while i was sitting there i started to experience anaphylactic shock, i had came in through EMS and had administered my own epipen in my house but by this time it was wearing off. i know my body well enough to know when im about to go into shock. i tell my nurse i need another epipen and by pass machine. she says wait let me give you nebulizer treatment and get your doctor. i already know that time is of the essence. my throat is literally closing up and I CANNOT BREATHE. the doctor comes and says oh let’s just see if the nebulizer works give it one or two minutes. i’m trying my best not to panic because that only causes you lose more breathe but i’m trying to explain to them the machine isn’t working my throat is closing by the second PLEASE HELP. now the doctor is looking for a bed, i didn’t need a bed i needed an epipen ASAP. i kept saying epipen epipen. she then tries with another asian doctor to set up the by pass machine and i’ve never seen two doctors not know how to set up the machine and load it up to work im still sitting there gasping for air and they’re two doctors struggling to get the machine one and working like i literally felt like this is it. my life is over with. by the time i got on the by pass machine it barely was working and they finally stabbed me with the epipen. when i finally did get some what stabilized the next day i asked to speak to a doctor she was literally sitting in front of me and said she was going to come and she never did until she was giving her report to the next shift to introduce the new doctor. there are a few decent nurses here but aside from that it’s horrible. the entire time i had no clue what was going on with me. i had beg and wait for hours for results for a test to the point i had to ask someone who wasn’t a nurse or doctor to look up my chart and tell me. i was told on saturday i was being admitted to ICU it is Monday and im still in an over crowded ER. no food , have to beg for whatever, everyone on top of each other. again emphasis on how filthy and deplorable this place is just dirt every single place you turn. i didn’t yell i didn’t nag i didn’t act belligerent the entire time i was here. i spoke softly i waited patiently ; they probably wouldn’t expect this type of review from me because i didn’t even complain once. but the way i want this place shut down and inspected is real. disgusting staff disgusting everything! JUST PLEASE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND HAVE A REAL MEDICAL EMERGENCY DO NOT COME HERE!

Anam I need a physical form for my kid’s school after calling we were told to go there with the FORM but when I went there round 4:30pm it was empty and 3 people in the reception talking to each other, so I waited in line they were talking rudely about me after sometime one of then called me over and said “how can I help” and guess what she was pretty rude and only needed name DOB and address I said I was told on the phone to bring the form I was trying to give her the form she was again in a very rude attitude told me not I don’t need that what a waste of my time. unnecessarily made me go there plus so rude. Montefiore use to be so good what happened ?

Anesia Delacruz The doctor was not helpful at all. Dr.Zagreda’s attitude was very unpleasant as if she hates her job and was not informative about ANYTHING not even about something as simple as directions in the office to complete my lab work.

Md Abubakar Siddiq Worse dentist,not polite,very rude, and I suggest dont go there

Lavender Purple Im giving 5 stars for unexpected reasons. This doctor is bad but I kept her as my doctor for certain reasons. Firstly, I dont trust male doctors. I hate them. So Im glad that this doctor is a female. Secondly, this medical practice doesnt aggressively force people to get vaccines and stuff like that. I hate doctors that aggressively pressure their patients to get vaccines that are not mandatory. So Im glad that this practice doesnt pressure their patients. So far I havent encountered any problems with this doctor. But thats because she barely talks to me and she sees me for only like a few minutes and the assistants do everything else. I dont want a "professional and nice" doctor because they are usually the ones that pressure their patients to get vaccines and stuff like that.

Jeremy jason Figuereo This is the worst hospital in USA, I came to the ER with my Daughter she was really sick and I wait more than 3 hour just in the waiting área and when i came to the front desk they said my 13 years old daughter wasnt priority.

Haydee Salgado February 18, 2024 If I could give it 0 stars I would. Ive been in a bed for three hours with kidney stone pain and I have yet to receive pain medication. No one has collected my urine. Ive gotten no fluid IV. I have not had blood drawn and no cat scan. The list goes on. This hospital is terrible to say the least. Irma Salgado
