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

Lee Licata This is a review specifically about Dr Mark Hoffman. I have never dealt with such a horrible doctor in all my 75 years of life. I was sent to that practice by my primary whom I have known for many years; but he did not specify which doctor to see. I made the appointment for a hematologist and I was given Dr. Mark Hoffman. If you need a hematologist, stay away from him. He was rude and unsympathetic. I was having a very bad day with my arthritis and could not even sit in a chair. He was not phased in the least. I was there for a high platelet count. If he knew his trade, he would known that inflammation often causes high platelet count; and my body is loaded with arthritis and is always inflamed. Cutting to the chase, he took all sorts of blood and told me he would be back to me in 2 weeks. 2 MONTHS later, he called to tell me that I have some sort of a genetic anomaly. Thank God it was not life-threatening or I would already have been in the ground and not able to accept his call. Had I known it was him on the phone, I would not have even answered. He was still rude even though he was in the wrong. (FYI: I answered because the dear friend of mines name is Mark and has the last name beginning with H, a coincidence. I thought it was my friend calling me not this horrible doctor.) You are better off going to a hematologist in a dollar store than to go to this Joker!

AT AT I hate that i have to even write this because i think Dr. Hanna is a great doctor. However, the way the office handles appointments is outrageous. These doctors are booked months in advance. Like months. For example, i called to see if i can see Dr Hanna because i am 3 months pregnant asthmatic and have had a cough for over 7 days and feeling short of breath. I was proceeded to be told that she is booked until June 2023 i called december 2022. I then proceeded to ask if there is any other doctors willing to see me . All them are booked until next year. I proceeded too ask what about the patients who get randomly sick and need to see a doctor. What about them ? I never in my life felt unseen and unheard. Im 3 month pregnant asthmatic with a nasty cough and all in was that we are booked until next year. I had to fight call multiple times just to be seen to be heard. Its unfortunate. I remember i called in July 2022 to schedule my appointment in october 2022 for my annual physical. Which is suppose to be in october . I thought i called in a reasonable amount of time... 4 months in advances but nope she didnt have an appointment till January 2023 . Its insane. What is going on where we have to book a year in advance to see our doctors. This is outrageous

James Gillette Been going to Winthrop internal Medicine for over 10 years specifically to Dr. Bruce Horowitz. He is an awesome doctor that I would give 5 stars to as a doctor. Giving the practice a one star because I need to have followup blood work for medications that I am taking. I also have been having severe shoulder pain and am worried that I might have a tear. The earliest I would have been able to be seen is 16 days out. Not acceptable to me. I guess I will not get a follow up on my blood work and will just suffer through the pain in my shoulder and look for a new doctor. So disappointed. I hope in the meantime I dont do more damage to my shoulder nor have any side effects from the medications that I am on.

Michelle Mascioli Long wait time but the doctor was very thorough in explaining everything and thyroid and took his time when he got to me

Dr.Anju Nair Overall a very good experience at the clinic.They have ample free parking space in the garage.The office is very clean and neat and strictly follows the latest Covid-19 protocols.I was checked in quickly and the front desk staff are very warm and welcoming.My only concern was waiting over 30 mins to see my doctor(Dr.Skwiersky).She is new to the clinic and had just recently joined the NYU langone team.Overall happy with her professionalism and care.However the attending physician Dr.Bhansal was spot on and helped complete the examination and further treatment protocols.NYU Langone is one of the top hospitals on Long Island and in the country and they do stand up to their quality of care and treatments.Overall a very positive and safe experience at the NYU Lanngone Endocrinology & Diabetes Associates.

Charles Marino They send you a text message confirmation with the facility address in it as a click able link. When you click the link, it takes you to a place where the office is not located. Then, you arrive late to your appointment and are forced to wait for an extended period of time because this office sent you to the wrong place.

The Professor Says This office is by far the worst establishment I have ever been to. I would leave no stars if it were possible. The Doctors office and staff were very unprofessional, unaccomodating, and downright rude. All they care about is billing your insurance and getting home on time. Absolutely disgusting that a system like Langone would run an office with awful customer service and business practices. Avoid this office like the plague. Don’t stop running until you’ve arrived at a different gastro. If you do go, you get what you deserve. You’ve been warned.

Sridhar Shanmugam **Outstanding Endocrinologist – Highly Recommend Dr. Neha Bansal!** I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Neha Bansal. She is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly caring and patient. From the moment I walked into her office, I felt welcomed and cared for. She took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain my condition, and provide a clear, effective treatment plan. Her expertise in endocrinology is evident, and she stays up to date with the latest advancements in the field. She answered all my questions with patience and ensured I felt confident about my treatment. Unlike many doctors, Dr. Bansal truly prioritizes her patients well-being and never rushes appointments. Her staff is also professional and courteous, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. If youre looking for a top-notch endocrinologist who genuinely cares about her patients, I highly recommend Dr. Neha Bansal. She is truly one of the best in her field!

ben contessa I have found Dr. Bansal to be a thorough and knowledgeable physician who takes the time to explain and cover all the aspects of your care and treatment. As a physician myself, I trust her with my care and highly recommend her.

Tiffany Clarke I had an exceptional experience with the maternity team at South Nassau, and I can’t recommend them enough! I was skeptical at first, but had a good experience for my prenatal care and the educational team. Being that it was so close to hope I decided to deliver here…….From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel comfortable, supported, and well-cared-for. The nurses were incredibly attentive, always checking in to ensure I was comfortable and informed throughout my entire stay. The doctors were knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain everything and answer all my questions. The labor and delivery team was professional yet warm, and their expertise made me feel confident and at ease. The delivery and postpartum care was equally outstanding, with staff continuously offering guidance and support as I adjusted to life with my newborn. I truly felt like I was in great hands, and the level of care I received was top-notch. Thank you to the entire maternity team at South Nassau for making this such a positive experience for me and my baby!

wheresmybaby65 When my husband was there he was given a broken bariatric bed. He couldn’t move or get out of it without help. The nurses didn’t like to have to help him and he spent days in pain. Because he was in bed so long, he ended up with a bad cough and congestion. I notified the doctor That I was worried that he was getting pneumonia cause I could hear the congestion. After much arm, twisting, she agreed to do a chest x-ray, but said it was not an emergency and schedule it for the morning that night my husband couldn’t breathe and they did the chest x-ray and he had fluid on his lungs. I eventually got them to get him a cardiac chair so this way, he didn’t have to spend all the time in bed, but guess what the chair was broken too, and had to be Propped up on two other chairs to keep his legs elevated. It was a nightmare and my husband went to a rehab to get his strength and mobility back because of the lack of care he received. The cardiology department and vascular surgery department are not very good. Got a second opinion and is now being treated at a much better hospital with much better doctors. And there was a brand new cardiac chair in his room and he was a very first patient use it.

Sandy C This is the only doctor Ive felt comfortable bringing my son to since he was born. He was born at Winthrop and they have all of his records. They arent an actual PCP but I get in where and when I can fit in. Sometimes it is hard to get an appointment right away, but the service is never lacking. Im a bit surprised by all of the negative reviews, but it has been YEARS since that was posted. Overall I am satisfied with the service every time we come.

Yayi I have two children that see doctors at 222 Station Plaza, and I am very pleased at the care they recieve. I would like to personally acknowledge Asmide, one of the receptionists. She is exceptional. Not only is she pleasant and approachable but she is also extremely helpful. As a mother of two, things can get hectic with scheduling and there seems to always be something to do and paper work to fill out. Asmide is always willing to help lessen the stress and make these processes seamless. Im grateful for her patience and kind demeanor. It really helps.

jahneal phillips The staff at this hospital are responsible for my grandmother’s death. She was admitted fully alert, able to move on her own, and highly responsive. However, during her stay, the staff continuously administered morphine without consulting our family. Within just two weeks, she lost her basic quality of life. Beyond this, the staff were inattentive, only showing up to clean and feed her when family members were present—and even then, their care was minimal. This level of neglect is unacceptable. I had heard warnings that elderly patients rarely survive after being admitted to Franklin Hospital, and now I understand why. This facility needs to be held accountable.

Elena salvati Absolutely wonderful staff. I had a knee replacement and must say the entire staff from admitting to room care were amazing. So kind, knowledgeable and helpful. If I could give 10 stars I would. Recommend this hospital with my whole heart. God bless health care workers.

Lucky Domingo Im pretty shocked as I had an AMAZING experience. I was nervous seeing the previous bad reviews of waiting long hours or interacting with rude staff. My experience couldnt have been more different. The man at the parking lot booth called for a wheelchair and showed us where to park right away. The intake team at the front were so quick and thorough. I sat in the waiting room for a total of 2 mins before I was called back. The ER was super clean and the staff were all absolutely phenomenal. Each nurse, aid or doctor that came my way were some of the most kind, genuine and helpful medical professionals Ive come across in a while. I was so grateful when they would explain a medicine to me or explain what the next steps were. An ER is a scary place for some people so I truly appreciated how patient everyone was. The referrals and medication given to me helped right away. Since the NP took the time to listen to my symptoms carefully he prescribed me something I hadnt tried yet which helped immensely. The NYU Langone app is also a literal dream, I got all my info there within minutes of the NP telling me he got the orders in. They also had someone call me the next day to follow up and schedule an appt for a referral. Walked me through everything. I was floored. Im really sorry for anyone who had a bad experience here but I am so impressed and happy that this hospital employs kind, caring medical professionals who genuinely seem like they enjoy their work. It doesnt go unnoticed. Thank you to everyone there!! I wish I could shake each of their hands myself.

Band spak Excellent service and care even on Sunday. Went there with severe tooth pain. Registration and precheckup within 5 minutes. Doctor checked in few minutes. Second doctor also checked before medication. Was sent home within 1 hour 20 minutes from start to finish. Explained and follow up scheduled for dental clinic.

K and C E In a cancer center, the receptionists dont greet you or say goodbye. They just stare and talk amongst themselves. The mens bathrooms sink didnt work for water or soap. In a cancer center!! However Lillian Ackerman, SLP was very sweet, the first provider ever to have read my lengthy chart beforehand. She took her time with me, explained everything, was very patient. Five stars for her, not for the practice as a whole.

Darine Lawoo They should have performed a full body scan for my mother when she got cancer the second time. They didn’t, and then 1 year later she passed away.

gregory sholette Very poor communication and on-site information for visitors looking for a post-surgical loved one. Staff twice provided me with incorrect location and status of procedure.

harold mccauley I was put on a new medicine and the fellow. Said she must watch my blood work .When I left my appt I. Was told to make another in 2 months,they did not have next years calender. To call back.When I called they. Offered me a appt. For Mar 24th. You call this service.

D Among the worst medical offices Ive had to deal with - family member was treated by a rheumatologist in this practice while in hospital and was specifically told to follow up after discharge - tried daily for two weeks to get an appointment only to not be called back or rebuffed - after I became involved, all doctors in the practice were away at a conference and wouldnt be back for yet another week. If your desire is to be abandoned as a patient, this is the office for you.
