04-2025 Neil J. Kocher, M.D., FPM-RS in Best 15 MEDICAL SERVICES near Poughkeepsie, NYMercy Hospital of Buffalo - Buffalo Cathleen Maass: I just had cervical Spine fusion done on my C4-5, 5-6. From the minute I got there i was impressed with their hygiene protocols, making every effort to ensure that the site was clean by washing the site no less than 3 times from when I arrived up until I was wheeled into the OR. Every step of what was going to occur was thoroughly explained to myself and my husband and we were both given opportunity to ask any questions we may have had. I was reassured that my surgeon was highly qualified and experienced and was told by more than one nurse that they would let him work on their own family. I was in the holding area and next thing I knew I was waking up in my room. I was covered with warm blankets and had my family right there with me. I was told that I could order anything I wanted from the menu to be brought up, the service ran from 7am through 7pm. I was hungry but had my fair share of reluctance since I had not had any good experiences with hospital food in the past. I was very pleasantly surprised with the food at Mercy however. Not only is there a wide variety, but everything I tried, I enjoyed. Every nurse and doctor that took care of me was courteous, friendly and helpful. I was there for 2 nights, and never felt like I was an inconvenience when I would push the nurse button. I was frequently checked on, and brought water and ice as well as blankets and extra pillows. When it was time for me to be discharged, it was done quickly and efficiently. I wasnt kept waiting for hours for paperwork or for a doctor to sign off on the release. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Mercy Hospital and if I should ever need to have surgery again, I would gladly go back there, and will recommend them to others as well.
Oishei Childrens Hospital - Buffalo Tyler Bluder: Not sure why all the negative comments/1 stars, but our experience was exceptional. I’d give 10 stars if I could. My son was brought in on a referral from another hospital without a pediatric surgeon at 4am for an emergency appendectomy. We had a room right away in triage and then to the family room shortly after. He was squeezed into an early surgery and out by 9am. Everyone from the nurses, RNs, Doctors, and even the housekeepers were amazing. We were extremely skeptical from reading the reviews before we arrived, but our experience was amazing. Our room even had two pull-out beds and a bathroom with a shower that we could use (much needed after being up for over 28 hours at that point). Just bummed we missed Josh Allen visiting by about 12 hours. If you’re coming here for emergency surgery, rest assured your experience will be nothing short of amazing. Huge thank you to all the staff for going out of their way to support us!!
Last note is the food. “Room service” for the patient is ACTUAL FOOD and not the typical hospital food. For the parents/guardians, there is a deli on the second floor that was great and across the street in Buffalo general (I think that’s what it’s called) is a Tim Hortons. It’s just a short two minute walk away and on the second floor also.
Kenmore Mercy Hospital - Buffalo Joker 66: I was in this emergency room for a case of sciatica, it was the worst pain that I had ever experienced so I was a bit agitated already. I could see the medical staff in the emergency room from my cell door and it seemed that they were all just standing around talking. I just stuck my head out and asked for some assistance because I was in so much pain. I apparently made a nurse feel like I was a threat. They sent in a big muscular person in an attempt at an intimidation factor and when he saw that this was not going to work the doctor came in and didnt do the proper testing nor give me the proper medication for my symptoms.
I was discharged and not feeling any relief from my symptoms, I crawled out of the hospital on my hands and knees, still not able to walk and layed on the front lawn of the hospital and waited for my ride. I just wanted some medical attention and was treated like an animal who just didnt matter. I have not and will never return to this hospital.
Buffalo General Medical Center - Buffalo Coll R: Unfortunately the experience there with my mom was awful. I want to clarify that this does not have to do with the hard-working nurses.
Its the system that needs a great deal of work. There seems to be a huge lack of communication between, the patient, medical professionals, departments, and scheduling. Three procedures were done and not once did anyone know the time. Staff would come to the room not knowing where the patient was. They should just be able to simply look at a chart or a calendar and see what is going on so precious time is not wasted. I think the long long waits would be tolerated better with some information and simple communication. Nothing seems to be properly documented and she was brought down for something she already had done the day before rather than the procedure she was supposed to have, and two other times they had the wrong site noted to do the procedures. Nothing was communicated to the patient and nothing is done over the weekend and definitely not over the holiday. To be admitted for four days and not have any straight answers is more than frustrating. There was an enormous amount of waste, rather than doing a procedure precious amounts of blood were given instead. With the resources that the hospital has, it shouldnt take so long to have anything done and get the results and communicate them to the patient. This hospital needs help with their processes to run leaner and smoother in my opinion.
ECMC Health Campus - Buffalo Colin Edenfield: People have given Erie County Medical Center a bad rap. I say, you get what you give. I was rolled into their ER about dead. Sure, the wait was long, but they check vitals often and as soon as I started to crash they had me set up with a bed in a quiet room and they did everything they could to bring me back to a point where I could go finish getting healthy on my own. The entire staff was respectful, in kind, and compassionate with the care they provided, including setting up my antibiotics and giving me an all-day bus pass to ensure I wouldn’t have to walk anywhere while I made my way back home. I love these guys. Show them some respect and watch what happens. You won’t regret it.
ECMC Health Campus Emergency Room - Buffalo Maund Anthony (Tony): If it were possible, I would not even give this place one star. I went in with confusion, high blood pressure, and couldnt even tell them where I was, but they let me leave and drive home. Thankfully I had someone driving me home in my car. Im still suffering. Theyre was something weird on my EKG which the Dr never stood to explain what it meant. They accused me of drug seeking as they were reading my negative toxic screen and had records of almost 5 years with clean toxes. This ER could kill you by the lack of medical treatment and they dont even care about the people they are treating. I waited weeks to make this review so I could better explain how they almost let me die then sent me home. This is not a good hospital and far from a safe space. I literally will never reach out to another medical facility again, even if I die as a result. Im still sick and cannot eat. This was the major issue I had brought up. Its been almost a month and I am only consuming meal shakes. I was in mental health distress and am still there. Id rather die than ever go back to any Buffalo hospital, Mercy Hospital is next up because they let me also drive home without me even knowing where I was at. NO ONE WITH HALF A BRAIN GOES TO THE HOSPITAL TO DRUG SEEK, THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING NEAR AS STRING AS I CAN FIND ON THE STREETS, I NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION, NOT TO BE TREATED POORLY.
Sisters of Charity Hospital - Buffalo Jeremy Bartee: I had reason to visit the hospital after having some questions about my heart rate at the eye clinic where I was having cataract surgery. I spent two days there and even with a few things that were aggravating or things that may not been moving at a pace in which I felt they should, the staff was fantastic overall. From the start, the intake nurse was great all the way to Ella who was the nurse who took care of me for most of my stay and she is a wonderful, patient and pleasant person. I apologize that I dont remember everyone. There were a lot of different people taking care of me and performing different functions. Dr. Brumberger (cardiologist) came to see me during my stay. He is a great guy. Talks to you, looks at you when he speaks and explains things so you can understand them. I have been to see him in your offices subsequent to my stay and I am happy to say that I have found a new doctor if I need those services going forward. The nurses in his office in the hospital were all very polite and professional. I only remember Laura, but the three working on that unit were all equally cordial. Thank you
Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital - Williamsville Sumaya Musleameen: My grandma is in the ICU, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Jose, Nurse Amber, and Nurse Emily. Dr. Jose was incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain everything that happened to her and what treatments she was receiving.
Day nurse Amber showed great attentiveness and care towards my grandma. And Nurse Emily is truly godsend. She was so attentive, wiping my grandmas feet and applying lotion, putting extra pillows under her arms for comfort, and providing a reclining chair for visitors to stay comfortably. Nurse Emily’s kindness extended to sharing laughter and jokes to ease the tension, which made my grandma smile—a moment that made my day.
Thank you, Dr. Jose, Nurse Amber, and especially Nurse Emily, for your exceptional care and compassion.
