MidHudson Regional Hospital Emergency Department - Poughkeepsie (NY)

5 /5 Desiree Roberts: I was in the ER last night in excruciating pain. They were absolutely packed and didn’t have a bed for me. They got me into a very comfortable chair in a hallway, which was fine for me, as quickly as they could. They even made sure my husband had a chair to sit with me. The nurses made every effort to check on me every time they rushed by. They were communicative and attentive. I moved to the area 2 years ago and have heard a lot of bad reviews from locals. I was so nervous to be there but it was unwarranted. I cannot say how grateful I am for the ladies that worked with me in the early morning hours, and the doctor (Pete, I believe?) that helped me and even gave me the name of an ENT to follow up with. Y’all are incredible and under appreciated.

5 /5 Sehija Krcic: This hospital and the entire city and town of Poughkeepsie are so blessed to have Dr. Biswas, Dr. Patel, and Dr. Khan. Dr. Biswas and Dr. Patel performed a successful thrombectomy on my 88-year old father that ultimately saved his life after he had an awful stroke. All 3 doctors were so thorough in explaining my father’s condition. They not only showed us images of x-rays and scans, but they explained absolutely everything in simple layman’s terms, so that we could fully absorb what we were being told. They answered every question we had (and we were neurotic with endless questions!!). They never showed any kind of annoyance, we were never dismissed by any of them - even when they were clearly busy with other matters. Dr. Khan, who is in the ICU, was nothing short of amazing - instructing and educating the staff every chance he had, with pep talks and constant supervision and direction. It was truly refreshing to see that kind of team work. He was a joy to speak with and watch in action. The majority of the nurses were absolutely wonderful. Kind, compassionate, informative - everything you’d want someone to be when they are taking care of your loved one. The rehab staff is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I was in tears when we left because the team was so supportive every step of the way. My father made an enormous amount of progress thanks to this group of glorious therapists! We had a very good experience at this hospital and it was during a really difficult and traumatic time. We are forever grateful. I am in the process of writing a long letter of praise that will include the names of the generous and selfless souls who helped my father and my family.
