1 /5 John B.: I visited New York Presbyterian David Koch Center with my significant other on 05/15/2023 for an important lumbar puncture procedure. Unfortunately, our experience was highly disappointing and I feel compelled to share it as a warning to others.
Initially, we were greeted cordially and the procedure was explained in detail. However, several red flags emerged during our visit. The miscommunication surrounding a pregnancy test caused unnecessary anxiety for my partner. Moreover, we were left ignored and disregarded for an hour and ten minutes in the prep room, with no updates or assistance. The behavior of a nurse named Jasmine was particularly unprofessional and deceitful.
The lack of respect and genuine care became evident as the hours passed. When we decided to leave after waiting for four hours, Dr. Kim finally reached out, more concerned about avoiding a malpractice suit than understanding our frustration. It was clear that this facility was run by negligent, arrogant, and disrespectful individuals.
Additionally, the lack of security measures raised serious concerns. Despite a metal detector and security guard, I was able to enter the facility twice with a knife and pepper spray, without any intervention. Such negligence is alarming, especially considering there is a maternity ward within the facility.
I deeply regret choosing NY Presbyterian David Koch Center and urge others to avoid it. Take heed of the numerous negative reviews from other patients who share similar experiences. This facility failed to provide adequate care, demonstrating a lack of professionalism and compassion. I hope my detailed account serves as a warning to prevent others from enduring such a nightmare. Please report any similar experiences to ensure accountability.
