St. Charles Hospital

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about the maternity team at St. Charles Hospital. Welcoming a child into the world is an emotional and nerve-wracking experience, but from the moment we arrived, we felt an overwhelming sense of comfort, reassurance, and support. Every single person we encountered — doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, and assistants — was genuinely kind, compassionate, and exceptional at their job. It’s rare to find an entire team that consistently delivers this level of care, professionalism, and warmth. The attention, patience, and sincerity we experienced made an unforgettable difference during one of the most important moments of our lives. The care we received was truly second to none. A special thank you to Anna, Donna, Janet, Dr. Schraber, and the res

We were disappointed with the labor department. We clearly asked to wait until the cord turned white before clamping and cutting. When our son was born, there was meconium in the fluid, and the doctor immediately clamped the cord. I asked him to wait, but he said the baby needed to be checked because it could affect his lungs. After cutting the cord, they placed him on the table, cleaned him, and suctioned his mouth and nose like usual. He never went to the NICU. I feel they could have done this while he was still on my wife and only cut the cord if there was a real issue. Instead, it felt like our wishes were ignored. On top of that, my wife told the nurse multiple times that she needed to push, but they kept saying she wasn’t ready. After the third time, I told her to listen to her bod

The medical team here is top notch from the assistants to the nurses and surgeons. We e gone through many phases of life here and they have always been highly respectful and accommodating to patients needs. If I have a choice I want to come here.

I was sent here with enterovirus and could not breathe. I was put in a room in the ER with the door CLOSED and absolutely no monitoring! I couldn't believe it, nobody could see me in the room I was in, I wasn't hooked up to any machines, nothing. If I stopped breathing and died not one person would even see me or know. I waited 8 freaking hours for one single CT when the ER was half empty. I felt so unsafe and unmonitored there. If I ever have an emergency again I will request another hospital. Two stars because the ER attending Dr was friendly.

Took 9 month old to ER for croup. He had been taken from the pediatrician to Stony Brook ER by ambulance the day prior. The treatment at Stony Brook wasn't very good. They were completely packed, with patients lining the hallways in beds. The room we were in was dirty and outdated. They didn't really check up on us often. Then we were discharged after he was given a nebulizer three times, with no prescription or anything. The following night, he was just as bad. We decided to go to St Charles because it had just snowed and it's much closer to us. The difference in care and attention was night and day. The triage nurse and registration were super nice. Once we got into our room, both the doctor and RN were amazing. The ER room was super clean and comfortable. The ER doctor at St Charles sa
