This hospital gets so many bad reviews it’s crazy. I dislike coming here for many reasons and prefer to go to a better hospital that actually takes care of there patience with the absolute care they truly deserve.
Had laproscopic surgery here. The attending nurses were caring and kind. All the staff act with professionalism. Stayed for one night, the room was like new, very clean and surprisingly quiet. Staff listened and responded to my concerns. …
On hold for more than 30 mins for my mother status who was hospitalized at 11am its is 5 pm now and there is nobody allowed due to COVID now I understand but she is Spanish speaking I think the least you could do is answer the freaking phone !!!
my time in the er was not the nicest but what er is. once i was mover up to a real bed it was the best hospital i have ever been in. the nurses were all angels
Eventhough i work in this hospital , i had to go to ER with my wife, spent 1 hour waiting in a waiting area then 2 hours on a stretcher on a hallway…. about to get up and go away. Unbelievable……
Emergency room was empty when we arrived and we were seen quickly. However waiting for over2.5 hours for exrays is excessive. Our “nurse” was nowhere to be found and had an attitude when I asked what was taking so long. This entire time …
I had my cesarean section on 02/21/2017, I was treated very well, from the reception lady to the doctors. Great treatment, professional staff, and great rooms.
Great team work when it comes to the maternity ward.Joan & Susan are awesome.i watched them treat every patient the same way the treated my wife and I.They treated us like family.If my wife ever gets pregnant again I don’t care if we’re in …
Someone I knew went to this hospital for cancer, they kept her there for 1 week and only gave her morphlane she was forced to go to another hospital. DO NOT waste your time.
I waited more then 5 hours just for a sonogram and it felt like no one was taking care of us
Waited more than 6 hours for nothing, they take their time on everything! Everyone who works here just laugh, joke around, on their phone, have full on conversations with their coworkers but they don’t actually help you and take their time to actually know what’s really wrong with you. I don’t recommend this hospital at all.
The absolute worst hospital in the world. My brother was admitted took over 5 hours to even have a cliue how he was and because of HIPPA they would say nothing at all even if he was generally ok. They shut there phones down at 8 pm WTH …
Very bad rude people couldn’t breath they told me to wait they helping another patient RNs sit in the hallway laugh and talk while people really need help don’t go there even if ur on ur death bed
Worst hospital / emergency room ever. The staff are very rude and inconsiderate. Hospital is very dirty and unorganized! Also, most staff is very uneducated and misdiagnosed me several times. Most hospital beds are located in the hallway with a number taped up on the wall. Worst experience ever!!! Would defiantly not recommend!!!
No parking ever. Give it up with the masks already.
If you can go to good sams, go to good sams. I was born in this hospital and they have been screwing me since birth. From the time i was born when a retired doctor sewed a piece of my moms intestines to her stomach to the time when i had …
Brought my mother in at 9:30pm because she fell down the stairs and got glass in her eye and face and we were not helped for 4hrs!!! Really, Southside?? Glass in your eye isn’t an immediate attention emergency??? I will never come here again… I wouldn’t go there for a Band-Aid.
Have been in the ER for 8 hours now . Still have no test results and no one has picked up last sample. There are people around but it seems like only one nurse is taking care of everything. Sat through doctors changing shifts. The doctor …
Where do I begin beside the staff is awesome 🏅 I had to stay in the hospital for 6 days the staff make sure I had everything I needed regular check up if someone have a bad review in here you probably was the problem not them thank you south shore university for making me feel so special. …
Its a great place to have your Stuff Stolen when you come in on an ambulance as a trauma patient ….. Staff removed my Jewelry and someone stole apx $900 from my wallet and a $6K 14k and diamond and ruby eye skull ring . the Person who …
excellent experience better hospital then good Samaritan hospital! good Samaritan hospital kept me there for hours waiting in pain with kidney stones knowing how painful it is but southside took me in ASAP when they found out I had kidney stones they took me in right away excellent team members prefer this hospital.
If I could give this hospital 0 stars I would. 4 HOURS of absolutely nothing except getting an IV in me. The nurses, doctors, etc. just kept walking by the rooms and socialize. Waste of time. DO NOT got to this hospital.
For the emergency unit, Bohlsen Center, they taken care of my father. The waiting room is an improvement from years past. I regret hearing others had unfavorable experiences and hope they fare better in the future.
Had a thoracic Epidural Steroid injection in the Pain Mgmt Center,staff friendly,professional and caring,my biggest thanks to Dr. Daniel Kohane. I would recommend his service to anyone in need of pain management!! He excels at what he does 😉
I rather be sick than go back there. Horrible triage horrible people in general. I am not sure of how their hiring process they really need to teach courtesy and being a human. …
Too many rude people. I thought when Northwelll Health took over there would be improvements. The PA and intake person were wonderful. Vlady in the emergency waiting room should be fired.
Omg this people leave you sitting there for hours. 6 hours just get an X-ray, and sent you home with a bandage for a sprain ankle!!
Don’t go in you have a emergency find a other hospital, i was in a no fault accident i went in for my bad pain was waiting in the waiting room for 3 hrs and 30 mins and people that just got there was entering room quick besides me, find any hospital besides this one !!!
Easy to see right off of Main Street servicing Bayshore and the adjoining areas of Suffolk County. Close to the Sagtikos Parkway. Plenty of parking and a wheel chair accessible entrance. Valet parking is available. Clean facilities. Nice Staff. Highly recommended for same day surgery. We will definitely be going back.
I think that to work in this hospital the only requirement is to be unfriendly, all the people are rude and not very understanding with the patients who arrive with pain.
The doctor yelled at my 2 year old brother after repeated being told he was autistic. The doctor also shook my brother and was extremely rude with my mother who doesn’t speak English as her main language.
Terrible hospital improper treatment they are only worried about doing major test that cost you or your insurance company thousands i came in with Vertigo i was given a CT scan some meclzine something for vomiting and told to go home …
After a car accident was taken by ambulance to this horrible hospital! I was left seating there unattended for 1 1/2 hours before they even registered me! Then at the 2 hr make the doctor finally came, ordered a x-ray of shoulder and pain …
I was waiting for over 4 hours for a doctor. Talked to the receptionist 3 times she didn’t care. I left and drive to Good Samaritan. Southside is a horrible hospital they don’t care about the patients.
Send me home in pain and tell me to go to my doctor. ER female nurse was rude as hell. I wouldnt send my enemies here. Go to Stonybrook hospital for real care with respect. Dont even deserve 1 star.
by far the worst experience ever i do not recomend this hospital!!!! it is a circus if i could take stars away i would i brought my wife in for an emergency and it took 3 hours for the first nurse to come by and all she told us was that …
I was here poor staff I am in pain they joking around giving me pain meds that do not work I never going back to this hospital. Not satisfied with service they need inservice on how to treat people when they come in hospital. Please please learn to put patients 1st even the doctor was awful 😢 …
this is the most negligent hospital i have seen on saturday i saw my 14 month old daughter for high fevers and they only gave her motrin for the pain they didnt bother to look at her throat so i went home and the baby was still with a very …
This place sucks. Waiting for hrs for a room. This is not the first time with having such an atrocious exprience with this hospital. Some of the staff is rude. I never wrote a review 2 yrs ago bc we were so distraughthat over Our Mother and …
South Side hospital has always been a horrible place to be or visit. How Northwell Health, NorthShore LIJ thinks their taking it over changes anything is a joke. How there hasn’t been some horrific incident there is a miracale. Stop …
Attn Cynthia Colosimo, my boyfriend went in for a colonoscopy and we were greeted by a Jill Zinke, she was the most personable, happy, kind and caring person we have ever dealt with. I cannot say enough about her, my bf had many questions …
Staff is curious and knowledgeable but for emergencies they suck. Just to get seen 4hr wait plus another 2 to 3 hours for your test. You will be waiting forever. The 4x I’ve been here it’s the same. All the Northwell changes were just superficial. Please don’t come here.
Emergency room staff is extremely rude. Why do you put someone that comes into the emergency room for dehydration in tachycardia with no symptoms of Covid in a Covid ward!?
Call bells remain unanswered for over an hour or more, on multiple occasions during same visit. Never once saw an aide. But across the hall they used an isolation for there party foods. Real nice
This is a horrible hospital. I was told after waiting 8 hours that it wasn’t a drive through. Blood was allowed to pour down my arm onto the floor while getting a iv. My nurse was more concern about going out for St . Patrick’s day and …
If I could rate this place negative starts I would, don’t go here, rude staff, not helpful, doctor didn’t even visit my brother who had a major surgery to follow up with him(he was in the hospital for a week ) and they said he would be …
Overwhelmed and under staffed, with extremely poor parking available and valet service that does not take accountability for damage caused to cars.
The nurses and doctors during my mother’s care, however were extremely caring and helpful.
I went to this hospital for my baby sister that keep vomiting and passing out and all the doctors did was just stare at her and nothing else we stayed there for 3 hours no doctor or nurse did anything .
Friday night, only 2 ER doctors working, almost 100 people waiting to be seen. How do the numbers match up? They don’t. …
I was left in the hallway for a few hours and decided to leave. The nurse who attended me was cold as ice and acted like she was above me. I also believe that this emergency room Caucasian staff is racist. I have My reasons. The wait was really long and I just Left. Very bad experience and I filed a complaint.
Professional and compassionate staff. Clean and modern facility. My daughter was admitted in hospital and I can not say enough nice things about how well she was treated. Nobody wants to go to the hospital but if I had to I would go to southside.
My father in law was sent to South Side through ambulance and was in the ICU 3rd floor. He was internally bleeding, BP was unstable was going into kidney failure and every nurse and dr who saw him was excellent, very informative and thourough. My experience has been great so far. He is now on the 4th floor. Thank you
Thank God for Southside. My mother spent 2 days in the Great Stonybrook and they released her and said that she was fine. my mother feel last week and had to go to south side and they found that my mother had 2 leaky valves in her heart. …
they are the worst hospital ever and need to be burnt down. The staff (including doctors) are complete idiots, I am a type ! diabetic and they kept me for over 16 hours, but did not give me any insulin. Also, I was rushed there one time …
I was formally an employee there, but this morning I had surgery with with my doctor and was a very scard about the surgery, but him and the other doctor did a good job, even though I still might be in a little pain.Most of all the nurse …
Loretta Phyllis NP at South side hospital is terrible at her job. I had to beg her to give my girlfriend an ice pack for a clearly swollen and sprained foot. She said “we can do an xray which is what we call “therapeutic radiation” it won’t …
My friend had a horrible experience in southside hospital. Alot of careless things happen behind closed doors at northwell. Sad to say after you hear so many positive things about northwell. Well I am shocked what happened to my friend there.they don’t deserve the star. I had to give it because the post wouldn’t go .
Unsatisfactory service. My mom was brought into the emergency room and remained there for 3 days. They claimed to have assigned her a room on the second floor but she never made it there, they must’ve given her bed away to another patient. …
Always great place to go for medical care. 👌 ☮️🎆♥️ …
The ER is understaffed for the number of patient in the ER. Recently vrought my mother to ER . She is 85 years ols. Blood presure 218/ 102 when she arrived in the ambulance. She was not seen by a single soul for 4 HOURs. Asked 5 people if …
Had a bad experience in the ER department when I took my 4 yo nephew, but my sister recently had a baby here and the maternity staff were amazing. They have strict Covid policy.
The nurse staff is working with a patient ratio of 1 to 6 , which against nys mandate. From what I can see from working in hospitals there are numerous “Jaco” (joint commission) violations. Nurses assistant(CNA) are almost non existent. My …
I always heard that Southside Hospital was horrible ! Well after I had a cardio catherization at Peconic Hospital in Riverhead, NY my cardiologist says you have two arteries that are completely blocked ! I knew I needed a bypass because he …
Disgusting, went there because i got injured, radiologist gave me an attitude, and remind you i am so patient with everything. they forgot where they placed me, front desk was no help besides one woman and one nurse that ACTUALLY didnt …
Probably the worse hospital. Kept sending my 6 month old baby with a 103 fever him. There was legit 1 nurse who was understanding and nice the whole time
No wonder it takes forever to get seen. The entire staff is too busy joking around behind the doors. I waited three hours to get seen by a doctor who did nothing, but tell me what I already knew. Google did a better job of explaining my …
One of the worst hospitals of all times!!! Environmental supervisor Sandra Ramos is terribble. Lindsey sharky HR director is a young person who thinks she knows everything!!!! completely horrible experience after working for this hospital for 4 plus years.!!!
Staff was great. Went to the ER and everyone was fantastic. This experience really calmed my fears of a hospital, and I felt like they cared about not only my well being but my mental well being
I was admitted and stayed for 6 days. ER was crowded, but I’ve never been to an ER where there wasn’t a wait. Staff was attentive and courteous from the ER throughout my stay on the 5th floor. I found it to be a positive experience.
The worst effin hospital I have ever experienced in my life. If your idea of great care is to be thrown in the corner that not one person in the emergency room knows you exist, then this place is for you!! If your pain level is a 10 and …
Worst experience ever!! I brought my daughter with an asthma attack…I couldnt believe how carless the staff was. I had to go to the ER station and demand for a doctor to come to see my daughter who couldnt breath. …
Was told by my son’s doctor to go to southside hospital for his possible broken wrist. They could not get him in right away. We were moved from the waiting room to sit in the hallway for over an hour. The staff ignores you, they spend …
I’ve been there for ambulatory surgery and at the ER. I have to say, even though the waiting is tooooo long, they are very professional, the doctors will listen to your symptoms and will give you the best treatment they’re aloud at an …
Terrible hospital staff.. no instructions on follow up care, couldn’t get a wheelchair out of the hospital for pick up so I was forced to walk out the hospital sick and feeling disoriented.. I was in a ICU room from a allergic reaction …
Worse Hospital Ever. I got there by 4:30am due to an abdominal pain… Dr Anthony Urmaza and nurses didn’t do anything but bloodwork and a painkiller shot … I was in so much pain, I kept asking for help they kept telling me I gotta …
Worse hospital to deliver the baby. Refused entry and asked us to comeback in 6 hours when my wife was in active labor.
I hated that hospital. It was one of the worst hospitals I ever been. I went to the emergency service and waited more than 3 hours and no doctor showed up. Nurse said all beds are full and all doctors are busy. But I still don’t get why any …
Worst hospital, will make you wait for ever you could be dieing and they dont react its completely terrible i will never come here again most the staf spends time goofing off in the back its really the worst if you need attention right away dont come here cause they will not help you will just be waiting a unnecessary amount of time
I am very disgusted how my mother was treated at Southside Hospital emergency department last night. She was scheduled for surgery today, and due to the mistreatment, had to sign herself out last night. She was initially placed next to …
HORRIBLE. Got rushed by ambulance due to a car accident with my husband, left us in the waiting room after taking me off the stretcher for an hour. Then waited another hour to be even seen by a PA. Gave us pain meds, released us, got seen …
The hospital is one of the cleanest up to date hospitals we ever had the privilege to stay at. They have 24 hour visits and made sure that even though I was not a patient, I was comfortable and got to sit by my wifes side for her entire …
I would like to thank the Staff at Southside Hospital. My Boyfriend Eduardo Santiago was there . The Nurses were sweet and right on. They made he feel comfortable. I Also would like to say. Thanks to the Valets they were awesome!!!! There …
The physicians in the emergency department are an absolute joke. Going there with pneumonia like symptoms I was told there is dust in the air. Stay far away from this place!!! Rude doctors and nurses in the emergency room.
I was admitted to the ER on May 3, 2015 for a blockage of the airway. The attention I received was prompt, courteous, & professional. The hospital (Southside-Bay Shore) is in a heavily populated multi-ethnic area which serves the gamut of …
My dad had the best experience at Southside! From the ER (thanks RN Jen, RN Naomi, NP Loretta, Dr. Hom) to his stay on 4T (Thanks to the RNs Phyllis, Angelina, Valerie, Syliva, all the nursing assistants and especially Dr. Sygaco) all of …
Called today at 3:30 Pm and the rep over the line was so rude and quick to try and hang up. I don’t believe this is the kind of attitude South side Hospital represents. Please consult “Honey” to be a better leading example of a high rated hospital in Long Island.
This hospital is severely understaffed on the 6th floor. They are doing remodeling and my aunt cant sleep. Also, the nurses can not be found to shut off her beeping machines…UNREAL. They are more concerned with how the floor looks vs how they treat the patients!!
Five stars says I loved it, but I’m not so sure I totally agree. I mean who loves getting hernia surgery what I did love was how I was treated by the nurses and the staff, but most importantly the doctor and anesthesiologist put me at ease and made me feel that I was in good hands.
Treated like an animal, left me covered in my own sh*t for hours! Nurse has the personality of a doorknob the 2 times I saw him.
Update: now they keep sending me Bill’s for over a grand for quality service and when I call to speak to some they bounce me between departments
I ask questions AND GET NO ANSWERS. THE PLACE LOOKS MUCH NICER FROM YEARS AGO BUT PEOPLES ATTITUDES HAVEN’T CHANGED. They will send out the standard patient questionnaire but I never fill them out. Nurses who work for 12 hour shifts in the emergency room are tired at the end of the day.
I was there this past Monday night. It was a zoo. There were soo many ppl and very slow service. I was there 7:20pm I didn’t get to leave for a blood pressure check until 4:40am. That is insane! They only checked my blood and X-ray. To top …
I sincerely hope you plan to hire doctors to fit the bill of “top notch” because your staff is nowhere near “top notch” currently. I will never seek medical care from a Northwell Health physician again after my recent treatment from …
I’ve been here for 24 hours now and the staff and doctors here are absolutely incredible. Everyone is so caring and kind, it was my first time getting surgery and they made the process easy and comforting. The beds are comfy and they have tons of snacks too lol
Multiple hours wait for a cat scan for a traumatic head injury. Shameful.
I had same day surgery at Southside during the week of Christmas. I am very impressed by the level of care I received. Everyone who I interacted with – from the staff at pre-op to the day of surgery check in administrator, to the RN’s and …
Came into the emergency room at around 9:45pm yesterday. The check in process was not terrible but then the waiting began… It is now 4:25am the next day and we are still waiting. …
Took my wife in to the ER for back pain. We were treated quickly, and all staff who dealt with us were courteous, helpful and caring. Sometimes the Emergency Room can be crowded, so I’m glad to hear they are expanding it to triple the size!
Worst experience ive ever had, came in with complications with my pregnancy and a possible miscarriage and i was made to wait 2 and a half hrs in the waiting room to be seen by triage. Never go here for anything more serious than a paper cut
(No stars). I had a leaking vein in my ankle. The volunteer ambulance wrapped it and took me via ambulance to Southside. I waited for about 2 hours, when a PA finally came by, looked at the vein, (which had stopped bleeding by then), wiped …
4th World Hospital
6 hours in ER with bleeding finger. They just ignored me. Was sitting by nurse station. All bunch of med personnel sitting, looking at computer screens. Acting …
I went in for chronic abdominal pain and Dr. Sha Yan I can honestly say sucks, she needs to go back to school to be a proper doctor and care giver . I requested a catscan due to blood work and ultra sound came back ok so obviously if …
Worst experience ever. Maternity room was very small for 2 patients with newborn babies, could hardly walk. Keep changing bed from one room to another. This hospital overcharge for baby’s stay and nursery. Services are bad. Go to any hospital not this. Giving one star for doctor.
Triage was excellent, however, after we got to the ER the service (lack of it) was abominable. The CNA (great) gave us a urine jar and said to give it to the nurse. After waiting an hour and seeing no one, I went to the nurses station to …
Most of the nurses are nice and informative and they have a good cafe unlike most I’ve been too with multiple options and valet parking and free detox water very good from what I’ve experienced sometimes it gets slow but that happens at many hospitals overall very clean positive feel in my opinion.
I would give negative stars if allowed. Went to the ER this week. Took five hours to even see someone when I was have difficulty breathing 🙁 Was stuck in the hallway unattended to when they had open rooms. No one checking on me, …
It really is the best hospital. They employ the best doctors in N.Y. I can’t imagine going anywhere for my families care. Just be patient in the ER. Everyone is hurting, just like you. I spent 2 days in ER, before getting a room, I saw and …
My mom was a patient here and they were training someone in the emergency room they took about 25 minutes to get the ivy and meds to her because of the training. The traniee was so lost on what to do and made me extremely nervous my moms …
I am very impressed with the Hospital … I have not been to this hospital in over 25 years … What A Difference!! The care and support from the ENTIRE staff is exceptional …. They took care of my family member giving her compassionate, coordinated and respectful care. Cutting Edge, State of the Art Technology . Thank You.
ER SECURITY GUARD TRISTAN NEEDS TO GO! Followed behind an ambulance for my mother in law possibly having a heart attack, “ after not being able to find a spot and sending my fiancé in alone so I could wait in the car by the front doors, …
These people do not care about the well being of others. They only look after their own employees. As I was waiting in the emergency room for a few hours a worker comes in and it’s seen with in minutes! Just skip the whole process. The “nurse” is watching YouTube videos.
I was a patient at Southside Hospital for a week in early November. The staff were professional, friendly and caring. From the minute I arrived in the ER until my discharge a week later I received great care from a talented team of physicians, nurses and support staff. I couldn’t have asked for more!!
My mom recently went for an operation it was rough I can’t tell you how happy I was she was at Southside. She recouped on the 3rd floor. So many wonderful people work there. Debbie and Elaine are outrageous RNs they go out of their way for …
My daughter was in er for a severe migraine. We were there for 8 hours. I had to constantly pace the floors looking for help. She was in severe pain. We were there Saturday night 2/9/19 saw the dr Once who assured us my daughter would get …
I experience horrible care from Nurse Sandra Torres and CNA Kelly Castillo of the emergency room. Their attitudes were horrible. I am surprised because I thought that Southside Hospital was a great hospital since it is part of Northwell …
Found this hospital very professional and thorough in its treatment of its patient. The a/c duct blowing on me in march during evening was a downer but overall couldn’t complain.
Went to see Dr. Wohlberg for 20 minutes, scheduled me a home sleep study. Got a bill for $440, then I got ANOTHER bill for $1,160. Turns out seeing the doctor for 20 minutes ran me 400 bucks. Don’t visit this place unless your insurance is …
All the times I’ve been there I’ve only met one really nice worker, I’m completely disappointed, the hospital I was born in, is the hospital that is least helpful. Spending hours just waiting waiting and waiting and for them to tell you “I …
South Shore hospital is horrible. They are worse than ever since northwell has taken over. This new ER area is not helpful to patients or staff. Not enough room and the wait time is approximately 5*hours or more. It’s like they put the …
I want to take this time and thank the Southside maternity team and the AMAZING staff for all your hard work and dedication to my wife and baby. We came to the hospital numerous times prior to coming in for a schedule induction. All the …
WORST EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ON LONG ISLAND! Go anywhere else BUT Southside in Bay Shore. Visited there this past July for a sudden very painful and unknown cause inflamed/swollen elbow, after having visited a walk-in first med clinic and …
You will regret going there! You have a one star because that’s the lowest Option available. I would say more but I’m sure they’d contact me back faster than, when I needed your help from your staff social workers , nurse’s & doctors in …
My parent was taken her via ambulance after a fall..The doctors were great and so was the CNA but the RN’s were rude and nasty. No compassion what so ever for the patients. They couldn’t be bothered with patient care at all. Very …
My husband was rushed to Southside after being hit and run over by a drunk driver. They had to resuscitate him several times, as he was loosing too much blood. He had emergency surgery to try to get the bleeding to stop, and I am SO …
The absolute worst hospital! The lady at the front desk was incompetent jerk who just brushed us off like we werent there. My uncle was poorly treated while he was in a coma after a seizure. Fortunately he was moved to a better hospital but …
Maternity experience was really good
My wife and I ended up here on a last min emergency trip to the ER delivery room. …
Took my 2 year old to the Emergency Room with a very high fever, this was my first time at this ER. Sat there for an hour before the nurse practitioner came to examine her, we saw her chatting with another doctor the entire time we were waiting (let me just say that their convo was not about patients).
Horrible. Went into the ER because my girlfriend was having severe stomach pain. They put her into a room that had a leak in it and then they had to move her into the hall. While the nursing staff is friendly, there is zero sense of urgency …
Great first impression from valet parking to security procedures. The lounge area and gift center or the dinning area. The staff on the elevator was cordially to each other and made eye contact as I found my way as a visitor. The staff was extremely gracious in entering, providing patient care. It’s was very impressive.👍👍🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 …
IF YOU CAN AVOID IT DO NOT CONE HERE! I was taken to Southside Hospital yesterday. I had an attack from a genetic disorder that causes acute pain in the abdomen. Enough so that it makes me cry out. I had gone to the doctor just to check on …

Worst experience! Was taken to Southside by ambulance after a car accident. The staff removed me from the stretcher and put me in a chair in the waiting room. I couldn’t hold my own head up. I was in excruciating pain. They said they …
What a joke of an emergency room. Short staffed, they have patients lined up in the hallways, and the staff either ignores the patients or are just too busy. One nurse actually disappeared for hours and then ran away when I tried to ask a …
This emergency room is going down. My brother is currently there, with a prior heart condition, has extreme chest pain and tightness literally crying in pain…. 2 HOURS LATER and a doctor has NOT yet been in to see him or read the results …
Don’t have an ill family member go to the ER alone. They will be sent home with little to no care. Stay with them, ask questions, and if you are not satisfied ask more questions, ask that your family member be seen by another doctor. Be …
ER Admittance REFUSED my Cousin entry into my Aunt Charlotte’s space/room YET SHE CALLED HIM TO COME FROM MASSACHUSETTS to fulfill her Health Proxy Representation.

Absolutely horrible service! I was in the ER last night and no one attended to me several times within 4.5hours of being there. I had to consistently struggle to get out of the bed and call for help because the RN purposely turned off the …
My daughter had a baby. Firstly they asked for ID, then they said we didn’t need an ID. Secondly, we waited for the for the 1 person for 10 minutes to open the maternity room door. Thirdly they took 2 and a half hours for organize a private …
If I had a choice it would have been no stars. Aside from the nursing staff in the ICU, this hospital is very irresponsible! I’m still waiting for them to find my husband’s belongings that are somehow lost within the hospital along with …
Our 79 year old mother who is a dialysis patient was admitted for a routine ankle x-ray and received the royal treatment. I thought I would never be able to write such a great review given how many times we have been disappointed by …

I like this hospital. Nurses were caring, and the doctor did ask if I was depressed. Nurse Jackie was nice. They do good bloodwork on you to make sure you are Ok. I went during COVID. Please do come here. They will try to save you life
The hospital staff took such amazing care of me, and I am so thankful for their knowledge and abilities. I had a medical emergency on a Thursday evening and was immediately admitted to Emergency Room in I think critical care unit and then …
I went to the emergency room on Friday. The care I received from the doctor was good, as well as the person who signed me in. Almost everyone else was horrible. It was like going into a high school. The staff was mostly young and they were …
While the nursing staff and doctors were good the real problem was with the security. When I tired visiting my mom,who had cancer at the time , two security guards would deny me entry with the reason being that they didn’t like me and would …
Father there two days and we could not contact him or anyone to give us info (no visitors allowed now). Turns out he had a heart attack there, was revived and intubated…no one called us…we found out two days after when we someone finally returned our calls.
I love this hospital! I had a Surgery and Oml they treated Me super Good I came here since Little and my brother Does as well. I love How in the emergency room they Hurry to Help. My mom Had to be rushed to the hospital Because She was in …
You have to jump through hoops just to get answers about your own medical health and even then “we don’t give out results, if something is wrong we will call you”. Can’t properly place an iv without having kinks or air bubbles in the line …
If I could give them a zero or less I would. I came in for help from a car accident and they left me in the hall for 3 hours after my chest x-ray before they even said anything and said sorry we forgot about you and we’ll release you in a …
My family and I have focused on our fathers numerous health issues. Mom is by far the best person to care for him. When abruptly she had to have a procedure we were all nervous. Not even 5 minutes after our arrival we were admitted by …
Ok things are much better and all it took was communication from nurse and great customer service..Thumbs up to Nurses and the Chef in the kitchen..Dinner was delicious..Thanks staff
Emergency Room staff at the hospital were very rude. Walking in, there is no warm welcome. All staff’s attitudes were very rude as if you being there is a bother. They talk to you like you are trash on the street. They all need to remember that they never know who they are helping or when they will be on the other side.
Incredible experience from start to finish. Begins with valet parking, courteous security staff, prompt sign in (there for surgery), amazing nursing team/doctors/staff, amazing care before/during/after surgery. New private room, decent food …
My 84 yo mother has unfortunately had to come to this hospital 3 times in th past month and because of Covid I can’t be with her. I’m her health care proxy and her fulltime caregiver, and all I can say is that the communication from this …
Emergency room staff cursing at the desk talking about they want to be in Tennessee checking out cowboys.. i mean really when someone is in excruciating pain that is the last they would like to hear. The inappropriate behavior is to be expected in a dive bar not a place where one comes seeking assistance and compassion.
Had surgery last week and all of the staff from preop to the last day until I went home were the best. Always there if I hit my button in a few seconds. Had a great experience.
We went here for an open heart procedure. The staff that took care of my mom was amazing as well as the doctor. Doctor Kalimi is one of the best heart surgeons. Everyone was so nice and caring. My mom’s heart is doing great right now and …
I wouldn’t bring my worst enemy to this ED. Worst experience of my life. The coldest people work here. They have zero empathy. They may be northwell but they will forever remain south side.
Parking really sucks. Visitation restrictions really suck and frankly make lite sense. Too many members of the Nursing staff have big attitude problems. As a vaccinated health care worker myself is one of the worst hospitals ive ever had interactions with.
Tried to report child abuse to a nurse who was taking care of a mom in a clear DV situation. Postpartum nurse literally refused to take my report, and said “I don’t even want to know her name”. Then discharged her with her new baby to her abuser.
Honestly Mordechai Milworn is the best PA I’ve ever had got me in and out of the Emergency Room did what he had to do, he was nice, funny and very informative. Answered all my questions. Looks like someone who actually enjoys doing his job. So thankful.
I was skeptical about bringing my mother to this hospital. For good reason. This is the worst hospital I have encountered. I had no choice in the matter. The ambulance took her there. First of all the aides were so rude. They lacked …
My sister went in with severe stomach pains at 9 pm and it is now 8 hours later and she’s yet to have tests done to find out what’s wrong!!! DO BETTER!!!
I recently spent 10 days in South Shore University Hospital. While all the staff was great, one nurse was outstanding. Kristine Martuciello went above and beyond, taking care of all my needs and helping me through a very scary and painful time. she was my angel. Kristine is a wonderful asset to the hospital.
My Dad was brought here by ambulance while I was flying up from Atlanta. I was nervous based on the reputation of this hospital when I moved away. I was so pleasantly surprised! My Dad did not have to be admitted, but the ER doctors were …
The worst. My 6 year old daughter had a very bad stomach ache and we waited 4hours in the waiting room. They keep calling peoples in front that came way after her they didn’t care. So bad Hospital I’ll give it a 0 start smh .
For me personally it takes alot to go to the emergency room…for example an ACTUAL emergency , expecting to be cared for… this hospitals emergency room is filled with careless disrespectful non trained professionals. From ruthless attitudes …
The doctors and the nurses are really amazing, they try their best to make a patient feel better. My brother in law was their for his stomach problem and they took really good care of him and made him feel better. His condition was very …
This place doesn’t have heart monitoring equipment…not even a echocardiogram…. Let this fact sink in. (7 months ago) …
I recently was in the ER for lower abdominal pain. The nurse Kristen, proceeded to have a difficult time taking my blood and used a sonogram machine to find a vein. Mind you she used my body as a table for the vials, tape etc, and proceeded …
The absolute worse hospital ever. The doctors exams you in the ER hallway with no privacy ( Big HIPA violation) and leave you in the hallway for hours and hours waiting to be admitted. They lie and tell you that they are very busy, but …
Good morning Dr.Rogove, Alba and all in your office. The moment I walked through your door, till this moment now, I was humbled by all of you. I am going into battle against this disease with a positive attitude, because, of all of you. …
So I went there with lower abdomen pain on my right side, turns out I had appendicitis.. so I go into surgery, I didn’t really like the surgical team. The anesthesiologist had a little of an attitude because I had dermal piercings, and I …
If I can rate this a zero I most likely will. I went in there short of breath chest pains etc. first a the front desk they decide to talk and laugh while I’m in distress then I finally get they’re attention to check me in and they’re …

I’m giving a two star review for the lack of communication. My father was admitted into this hospital for 3 days. It was almost impossible to get in touch with a nurse in a reasonable matter of time. I would call and be transferred and …
this place is absolutely awful and they do not care about mental health. i had the worst panic attack of my life that lasted 2hrs and no one was concerned nor bothered to assist me. my vision was blurry, heart racing, mind racing, cramps in …
This hospital saved my partners life. No nonsense jargon . Yet a straightforward plan to keep her healthy many years to come .
The neurologist Jeffrey Katz – and his team took extraordinary care to assure we …
All I’M GONNA SAY WORSE HOSPITAL EVER. WHEN U GO TO DESK ASK for HELP THEY TAKE FOREVER TO COME TO U. PLACE DIRTY. And POOR SERVICE. Last thing they charge you ARM AND LEG TO BE THERE. JUST GOT OUR BILL AND AMOUNT THEY CHARGE YOU FOR WHAT. …
After being hospitalized there for 3 days 2 weeks ago, I had to go to the ER yesterday 5/13. I was not seen by a doctor for 4 hours! I sat in the waiting room when they knew I should have gone right to isolation. And then I sat on a gurney in the hallway which was even worse. So will not ever go back to this ER.
My dad has been taken to the emergency room at South Shore on several occasions. I do not live in the area and have been incredibly frustrated trying to contact someone there who can tell me what his condition is. I call and on many …
My family uses Stonybrook Hospital for our medical needs, however, recently a dear friend needed emergency medical care and I had to take him to South Shore…what an ordeal! Parking was scarce because of the recent snow storm, and I …
3 hours waiting with my sick 2 year old daughter and a doctor never came to the room!
By far the worst hospital experience i have ever had. I will never return to this hospital and I’m telling everyone i know to never come here again. Staff is rude and completely inattentive. They stick you in a chair for 3 hours and never …
Worst hospital to go to . LITERALLY everytime i come here i wait 4-5 hrs for them to come back with nothing hardly no information nothing. They just try to get you done with . You can be dying and they’ll have you wait ! WE NEED CHANGE !!
I Chop the whole top of my thumb off at work and they said there’s nothing they can do they wrapped it up and sent me on my way absolutely the worst hospital I’ve ever been to every time I’m there there’s nobody doing anything but standing …
Though the staff are fantastic the beds are so horrible. I had to try to sleep in a recliner which was very ancient and rickety. The bathroom attached to my room was also ancient. (I was on the cardiac floor) Definitely overlooked when …
Very pleasant staff starts with the Valet Team and ends with the Front desk employees everyone was just pure amazing
Horrible Horrible Horrible. If I could rate no stars I would. They take me in by ambulance because I was having head pain with high blood pressure with head pain. They took a cat scan. Moved me to triage and that was it. They came 3 …
I have given birth twice at this hospital and can not say enough good things about both of my experiences.
During my first labor my L&D nurse had to leave bc her shift was over and I was …
Very poor patient care. Please choose a different hospital if you want to be treated like a human being. Won’t go into details but if I could give zero stars I would. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are overwhelmed with patient experience calls with the negligence they dish out to people in need of care.
I had my baby on 10/13 here and it was the best experience!! So much that i didn’t wanna leave the hospital. All the nurses that came to take care of me in the delivery floor where attentive and helpful. They all met my needs and responded …
The nurses in this hospital are BEYOND rude and unprofessional! Not only do they give you attitude and talk back they take HOURS to attend to you when you hit the call bell. I’ve had nurses slam the door of my room after giving an attitude. …
I just had my baby here last week. The entire experience was completely wonderful. Every nurse and doctor we dealt with was an absolute pleasure and when we had complications, I was kept comfortable and all my concerns were always addressed …
Nurses are very nice and food is pretty good. Surgery went well. Would give 5 stars but it’s hard to get answers from anyone and basically left alone without many answers to my questions in my room. Not perfectly organized.
The worst hospital I have ever dealt with. A name change is not going to help. Inefficient and uncaring. The doctors can’t be bothered. They sent my elderly parents on a wild goose chase when trying to pick me up from an outpatient …
The wait time to see the doctor was pretty long but every staff i interacted with was wonderful. The hospital was clean and once i saw the doctor, everything was quick and easy. They took the time to explain what was going on and what i needed to do to care for myself at discharge.
I was waiting for 7 Hours in emergency room for MRI and Pain Medicine. When I’m asked at any doctor or nurse everybody said One Second One Second. But never come back. First time I visited this Hospital which such poorly educated and Rude …
This is the WORST hospital I have ever been to. Everyone is so rude and nasty and could care less about you. Everyone that works here has absolutely no patience or care for you and your problems. I also gave them my insurance they told me …

I have my heart surgery last month ,that place is very excellent and all dr and nursing staff are amazing and cooperative.i recommend strongly that pl.I strongly thanks to every body.
You could die here and they still wouldn’t see you. I was here for a routine bone injury for 5 unattended hours. Nobody knew anything. The lack of communication was in words, 3rd world nation. I would not ever come here.
This hospital was great !! , especially the labor and delivery unit , they were all so nice and very vibrant people. They even treated me with such great hospitality and i was just a visitor … great great people

Gate keeper and staff in the main entrance going to maternity are horrible specially the short hair Puerto Rican lady who register people! as a first look she’s rude and racist! Replace the entire morning crew! Horrible! More smiles! People go to hospital to be taken care of! Not verbally abused!
While some people showed empathy and compassion, on the many days others did not, I was scared for my father. There’s a lack of transparency of options given to patient and lack of compassion when communicating with family members of a …

This hospital is awful
Don’t go! They discharged my brother (a mental health patient) without discussing it with me. …
If I could give zero stars I would, the nurse educator Marie on 6 tower gossips about her fellow nurses and other people as well as students in front of patients. It’s really sad. No professionalism what so ever
I’ve never seen such poor care.
The staff in er sat playing on their phone.
I’ve asked for help for my friend numerous times and they just sit there. …

My son went there with intractable abdominal pain and vomiting and was sent home by the ED without imaging or proper treatment to continue with severe pain and vomiting. Of course he had to return and was subsequently admitted with an obstruction. This would not be a first choice for care and will not be in the future.
i came into the hospital with shortness of breath and a terrible cough. i was told to have a seat. in all my years of being asthmatic i have never been treated like this. i understand being short staff but what’s more important, a broken hand or a patient with shortness of breath
The staff is really nice but many of the doctors and nurses are not able to answer a lot of the questions about patient care for serious conditions. If you have coronary or kidney disease, avoid at all costs.
They do not take patient care seriously here. THe E.R. providers are the worse.
Condescending and arrogant with zero compassion for patients well-being and concerns. The front desk/Check in team are also disgusting unprofessional human …
If this site would allow ZERO, I would gladly give Southshore

My wife and I really think he needs a commendation . He truly went above and beyond.
As a Northwell Employee I was shocked and horrified at the type of care offered in this hospital. The Nurses did not have anything they needed, I watched as patients waited hours to be admitted to wards due to lack of equipment. One of the …
One of the worst hospitals in Long Island. The nurses are great. The hospital and how it’s run, patient care, and space are pitiful. I’ve never needed to posts. Review like this about a hospital. They tortured me for days. No privacy. Super …
