Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital

To preface my past experience, I had a horrible experience with Max A Schwartzman. I vowed to never come back to this hospital because of his lack of compassion, racist comments, and overall experience. I’ll leave it at that. Tonight, I had theeee most HEARTWARMING experience, which honestly changed my entire perspective of this hospital. I met with Dr. Baah, Angela Essel RN, and Wesley Sackley. I don’t remember Mr. Sackley’s title but I’m sure he’s a Dr as well, if not an RN. First off, Dr. Baah is A LITERAL DREAM! I’m crying as I type this because she truly changed my mind about this hospital! She sat beside me, asked me what was going on, and was able to QUICKLY get me the tests needed to determine what was wrong. What stood out for me was her compassion, the way she listened, her over

"I cannot recommend Dr. Fourman enough. I am 6 weeks post-op from a spinal fusion, and I am finally feeling better and getting my life back. From the very first consultation, Dr. Fourman was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the entire procedure and answering all my questions. What sets him apart, however, is his kindness and compassion. He truly cares about his patients' well-being and recovery. I felt safe and in expert hands the whole time.

My 77 year old mother went to the emergency room Thursday night unable to breath with low blood pressure. She was diagnosed with acute respiratory failure which turned out to be from the flu and a pneumonia. From the time of her arrival she asked for a clergy person, and assistance cleaning herself up. These services were only provided on the following Tuesday, the days she was discharged. These services whole time she was there they didn’t change any linen, never provided her with water until she complained (which was difficult due to how she was feeling), had her stuck in bed and generally treated her like she was not mentally sound. In general the nursing care was sub-par. When the treating doctor was asked about a pulmonologist, he became indignant, stating he was treating her. The doc

These Dr's just want money. Dr. Ethan Krell literally saw my son for 2 minutes and did nothing for him. He even noted his blood pressure, bmi, pulse, weight and hight on the summary sheet but never even checked any of that on him. Simply said he needed to refer him to someone else but put no referral numbers on the sheet either. Yet they sure to charge me the copay, complete waste of time and money. This should be illegal, they have no heart or care in the world.

UNSANITARY Why was I quarantined in an unsanitary room room with the door wide open? The room was a filthy unsanitary room with filthy vile cockroaches crawling on the filthy unwashed floor and bathroom. I expect a hospital, especially one that has bought up most hospitals in the area and is also getting my very hard earned money to be sanitary and sanitized and bug free. This was anything but. Thank you to my ER nurse Kathleen G. very professional take charge employee. 4th floor daytime nurses were inattentive- not so much as an ice chip since I could not eat anything. Nightime nurses and tech were great too. However, I am leaving the Montifiore network and going to Columbia Presbyterian, I suggest you do the same!
