Fort Hamilton Hughes Memorial Hospital

I recently had an emergency surgery where I was brought in from a squad. The ER staff were very kind to me, offered my family something to eat and drink while we waited a short period for my ultrasound. Doctor performed my surgery was very patient explaining what I could expect, I did not encounter ONE person who was short, unprofessional or rude. I felt well cared for and was offered every comfort I could have away from home during a very scary and urgent time in my life. Thank you!

Unfortunately for anyone with Chronic Illness, or for those I've spoken and in my own experience, the quality of treatment provided via Kettering is often withheld because the Staff has become Jaded after dealing with Addicts especially Heroin Abusers that are sadly abundant in Hamilton. Far too often age and physical appearance (tattoos, piercings, etc) are all the Medical Staff see and thus will quite often be very abrasive which is frustrating for a Patient dealing with an Emergency especially when one is Sick and in Pain. Please don't misunderstand the issue because there are exceptions and there are a few Doctors and Nurses that truly approach the Job with compassion such as Hospitalist Dr. Pete Scheidler and the Staff at Wound Treatment but sadly these are in fact the Exception.

My first child was born at Fort Hamilton on January 31st. The staff was amazing and helped me so much!

Wonderful place, beautiful campus and friendly staff. Children's is a place that has many different services and resources. We were treated with care and respect.

I'm only rating this as four stars because that's what it's usually at, but STAY AWAY FROM ROBERT G. KENTER. He doesn't believe anyone who comes in, even if it's as physical of a symptom as it can get. I would bet if someone came in with cancer, he'd swear up and down that it's all their imagination.
