Best 15 MD and Hospital near Albany, NY (Part 4)
04-2025 Dr. Lee Shapiro in Best 15 MD and Hospital near Albany, NY (Part 4)Hilton Albany - Albany Patrick Doran: Went to a conference today. Had to park on the top of the garage. No problem there. When we went into the staircase, there was a severe smell of feces and urine. There was literally poo on the stairs in 2 spots. Cigarette butts and bottles spread throughout the sides of the stairwell. Absolutely disgusting!!!!!!! The bathroom smells like urine too. Plug in air fresheners dont help.
UR Medicine – Jones Memorial Hospital - Wellsville Ellen: I was taken to the ER not too long ago for difficulty breathing. They gave me some tests never did anything to help my breathing. Then they sent me home. Also, my mom was taken there once with what looked like a water blister on her leg and another on her foot. The 1 on her left leg ran from near the top of her leg to below her knee. She was sent home, told to watch it to see if it got worse! Months later she does from a rare disease. If you care about your health or that of a loved one needing an ER, PLEASE dont go to this one.
NYC Health Hospitals/Jacobi - Bronx marcela gomez: Their treatment for patients is 4 stars both in the Emergency Room and in hospital stay ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ But they are extremely far away that you need to take the B12 bus to and from the last subway train stop on the 6 train and make sure you’re at the correct bus stop leaving this hospital because there are 3 bus stops that only certain B12 buses stop at and they will not stop to pick you up regardless if it’s 2am if they don’t make stops there EVEN THOUGH NONE OF THESE STOPS EXPLAINS THIS; and the wait is long and scary late at night so for this I give them zero stars. My last point is at this hospital for some insane reason a psychiatrist has more authority over a Medical Doctor who only works morning shifts Monday through Friday who clears your loved one to be released but then comes a lower level doctor in the evening who rejects the patient’s release due to a psychiatrist wanting to put your loved one on yet more medication WHICH IS THE REASON FOR THEIR ADMISSION TO BEGIN WITH which is medications are cause of your loved one’s fainting spell, constant stomach pain, headaches, and anxiety that prevents them to drink fluids or eat food. *****UPDATE******
after an entire day of bugging the nurse about finding out when would a doctor or psychiatrist come and talk to us for clarification they finally sent someone to explain that they were keeping my loved one over night again just to see how he’s doing on just one medication that had nothing to do with why he was admitted allegedly but it is wonderful news and my final review is Jacobi hospital staff/ nurses, ER nurses/Doctors are ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and their main doctor is clear and knowledgeable but who only works day shift is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but the tedious wait in communication is 1 ⭐️. Regardless of the long wait I recommend this hospital over others including Essence Lincoln Mount Sinai & NYU.
NYC Health Hospitals/Gotham Health, Tremont - Bronx M W: I don’t want to mention any specific nurses’ names but my first visit was okay. Then the nurse I had left the practice and I was not even notified. The second nurse I saw was pretty much fat shaming me because I am overweight. Then my latest visit .. the nurse was ok but she got mad because I called her nurse. I understand she is an FNP but as a patient I figured calling her nurse followed by her last name was sufficient. So based on my two previous encounters, I will not be going back to this location again. These nurses need to be sensitive to the patients’ needs and learn to communicate properly. I also feel as if they don’t really listen to my issues much when it comes to my health.
NYC Health Hospitals/North Central Bronx - Bronx Jasmin Sanabria: Don’t go to this hospital!!! The worst staff and incompetent! Ive had two really bad experiences with this hospital. The first I hurt myself and felt I had a hernia. I was in extreme pain. After the c.t scan they told me there was nothing wrong. The doctor was very arrogant and insisted I was fine and sent me home. I went to Lenex hill hospital and turns out I had two hernias and one was strangulated. I needed immediate surgery.
Second more recent experience I went to the emergency room with dangerously high blood pressure for two days after a bad fall 2 weeks prior suffering from a concussion. It was the afternoon. The staff was very rude and slow, they ignored the fact that my pressure was high and showed a lack of experience. They never treated my pressure and only checked it once in the 6 hours I was there. And said it wasn’t high enough at the time they checked to be an emergency even though it was way above the normal rate. And I couldn’t lower it on my own for two days. I told them it was fluctuating between 145/95 to 179/115 throughout the day even going to 205 but was sent home. I had to go to another hospital later that night.
NYC Health Hospitals/Lincoln - Bronx Leesa O: MUST READ!!
IF YOU HAVE A CHILD BELOW THE AGE OF 18YO, DO NOT! TAKE THEM TO LINCOLN HOSPITAL.
They have no pediatric psych department for children. When you get there, they ask you whats wrong, depending on how bad your child is going through something, they drug them and or strap them down and leave them in the back. These children sit or lay in an open, but isolated area in the back with no doctor or therapist to talk to for days.
Other than a Psych doctor coming in around 9-10am to call their name and ask, "Do you feel like hurting yourself or others"?. If they say no, they go home.
But God forbid they say yes or you allow them to be admitted. Then they will be trapped there for days on end with nothing to do or anyone to talk to, no diagnosis or actual mental health treatment because the whole time you will be "waiting for a bed" at another hospital that actually see pediatric psych patients. They wont discharge your child for you to take them to another hospital yourself because they were marked for admission and cant leave unless by them in an ambulance to go to the other hospital. "According to their policy "
While there they use coercion, threats of calling ACS or you getting thrown out, bullying and intimidation tactics to keep you your child there and to keep you from refusing drugs for your child or leaving with your child, when they do nothing to help them.
It really breaks my heart to know children are being treated like that.
There would be 0 stars, but the one star could be for some of the good nurses that are there.

BronxCare Health System - Bronx 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.
