UHS Vestal - Vestal (NY)

5 /5 Sabina Yesmin: This place is awosome. I want to write a nurse assistant name. Her name is Emma. She is really special, well behaved, caring, knowledgeable. She has taken care my kids with real caring feeling. Keep it up

1 /5 Luanne Vallese: The first question I was asked during my check in was, "are you a part of UHS?" It should have been a red flag for me as I am not. I waited 45 minutes to have lab work. While waiting, I noticed people were allowed in that signed in after me; I knew something was up. I asked the receptionist when it was my turn and she said, "next". I waited a bit more and the phlebotomist with the purple coat came out and called another person; and then another. I told the receptionist I was leaving and would have my "fasting" blood drawn at another facility. I had waited longer than I should have and I needed to get to work in 10 minutes, of course without food since this was a fasting lab. Absolutely appalling that such a simple task would take so long and people who signed in after me were taken before me. So this told me time of day was not a factor. And then when I asked again, I was told, "they are prepping my room". Prepping my room for what? I have blood drawn yearly and I have never had this type of experience at any place. Perhaps because I was out of the UHS loop I wasnt given the same priority as a UHS patient? Never going back to this place for blood work!

1 /5 Brandi Karpiak: I’ve went in to the gynecologist office here many times and mi visits have all been a huge waste of my time- I give them my concerns, they run a test for things I’m not concerned about, and then say “the test came back negative so you’re good to go, let us know if the problem doesn’t go away.” These are issues I’ve had for years. They try to pressure me into talking (hormonal) birth control regardless of how many times I say no, I don’t want to take it, I’ve already been on it and I have no interest. Lastly, I have a dairy allergy and they have it in their system as “lactose intolerance”. Each visit I tell them that it’s incorrect, and they either say “oh same thing”, or they say they’ll change it but they never do.

2 /5 Sandra: Misdiagnosed me. Twice. I visited the hospital twice and both times, they said I had the flu. After a really bad flare up, I finally went to another hospital and was diagnosed with lupus. At that point I had sepsis. Fast forward, I had extreme swelling in my legs and went to this hospital again because it was the closest one. I told them I had lupus and they said the swelling was probably just because I was playing tennis. At this point, I didnt really trust them, so I went to get a second opinion and thankfully I did. Turns out I had acute kidney failure and needed to be hospitalized. All in all, the staff were fairly friendly but not very knowledgeable about medicine and frequently downplayed my symptoms. I suggest going elsewhere for a second opinion.

5 /5 Korin Gordon: I have never seen a waiting room so packed at 7am for blood work , its not even a doctors office . But there wasnt a long wait for how busy it was . I was with a friend and they also have to get X-rays and they was the quickest Ive ever experienced . There is also this little Cafe/coffee shop that offers baked goods and a good size menu of different kinds of dishes . They also had ice cream and candy bars and all the different kinds of hot coffee , ice coffee , blended drinks and everything in between. I didnt really like my sandwich but its me the worker didnt do anything wrong they do a great job
