NYC Health Hospitals/North Central Bronx - Bronx (NY)

1 /5 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.

1 /5 T M: This hospital is one of the worst I’ve ever encountered. Ive never experienced such unkindness from medical staff. The majority are unprofessional, desensitized, and communicate in an aggressive manner, treating patients with little respect. They often make assumptions and speak to you as if youre not articulate. Ive been here several times, and this experience was by far the worst. If you or a family member is admitted, please ensure someone stays with them, as the treatment is appalling. Only a few staff members showed any kindness or compassion. To make matters worse, I had to assist my father in moving from the transport bed to the table for a CT scan, despite having a medical condition myself. When I communicated my needs, it was ignored because they claimed there was no staff available. This place feels like hell, and I cant understand why it remains open—there must be countless lawsuits against them. I cannot recommend this hospital at all.

1 /5 Yvonne Thomas: The emergency department is one of the worst in The Bronx. The lack of caring and professionalism is unacceptable. They drag their feet to help you and act like you are here to bother them. I came I’m by ambulance and the ambulance staff had to wait 30 to just give them a report and they were not that busy. I heard the doctor telling someone oh this is just the flu before even talking to me. He had a smerk on his face. I’m in the medical field and if I treated someone like this on my job I would be terminated.also the bathroom was disgusting there was feces on the walls and urine on the floor and it’s always like this. My IV was empty and blood started backing up and I asked if someone can address and everyone ignored me until I started yelling for it to be addressed. One nurse said I have a patient to get to I explained it only takes one second to close the IV line so the blood will stop coming into the tube. She just said no and kept walking. I feel sorry for someone who can’t advocate for them. Shame on you north central.

1 /5 Barbara Patralites: nd that the Health Dept. would call me. No such call yet. My leg and foot turned black and blue and purple and my foot is swollen and I have not been able to stand or walk or even stretch my leg. Im very scared! Any suggestions?????? Or should I get a lawyer involved?
