M. L: Usually wait for an unreasonable amount of time and they always let people who get here after you in first. Thats even if you get an appointment. Always rescheduling. Wanted something closer to home but this is ridiculous. Find a real doctors Office. Dont come here.
Brooks Cressman: I had surgery on my foot at the hospital (on Portland Ave) on 1/16 on an outpatient basis. I found the staff to be wonderful, caring, thorough, communicative, and friendly. Someone had entered my name backwards in the system and the nurses quickly had it fixed and new labels made up. I felt very well taken care of and comfortable - which is so important because surgery can be quite anxiety provoking. My surgeon spent time with me before and after the operation, and the anesthesiologist went over everything with me before the procedure. The work to be done was clearly marked on my leg. Several nurses were involved in care and all were friendly, calming, efficient, and thorough. Afterwards, I was in the recovery ward. They brought all my belongings and had them right next to me, brought my choice of something to drink (water), and went over the discharge instructions. They waited to release me until all the discharge procedures were completed, and they were comfortable with my full recovery from anesthesia. Access to and from the hospital was easy. I am very satisfied and recommend the hospital to anyone.
Alivia Mattoon: My grandfather has been in the ICU for over 2 weeks, no one has been here to feed him they dropped off the food and didnt feed him my mom and dad had to feed him or else he would have starved. The only helpful people were my family members there to support us through the tough time we have had here. Everytime we come up here they always have some false information, they should be trying to support the families that come in here and instead they make our hard times even worse.
Eddie James: Having to go to the ER can be your worst day but having the right nurses and doctors there can really make a difference for you. Hello my name is Devon and I recently had to go to the ER twice in one week which absolutely no one wants to do. My experience at the Catskill hospital in Harris was absolutely amazing both times! Andrew the Pa in the er is absolutely outstanding in how he takes care of you but most importantly how he speaks to you and takes the time to understand you. You are not just a number. Percilla the nurse in the er is right there with him along with Michelle and the discharge nurse Erin was also pretty amazing! Thank you to you all! Remember people their jobs are extremely hard to do and kindness from patients goes a long way as well as being patient with the team of doctors and nurses caring for you.
Mary Burkart: I just got home from having a hip replacement yesterday, and was blown away by not only the medical expertise that was evident (Dr. Frank Lombardo of Orthopedic Associates of Dutchess County is amazing and I highly recommend him to anyone), but also the incredible care that is given to each and every patient. I was in the Medical/Surgical South Unit...an attractive unit with small, private rooms. A special shout-out goes to Brandi, my nurse, whose warmth, humor, and compassion especially shine through, but every single staff member I encountered made me feel cared-for, and tremendously relieved my nervousness. You are truly treated as a family member from the moment you step into Northern Dutchess Hospital...and the food is wonderful!
My hip replacement was yesterday and I am back home, with a minimal amount of pain and functioning beautifully, albeit with a walker and a few special tools (for dressing, retrieving items that are not safely or comfortably within reach, etc.) for a few weeks. I only require minimal assistance. I am so, so grateful to Dr. Lombardo and the staff of Northern Dutchess Hospital. They have given me tremendous mobility improvement in the future, in an atmosphere of dignity, excellence, and compassion. I am so glad that I received my care at Northern Dutchess Hospital, and I urge anyone needing treatment to do so, too.
