Maimonides Medical Center

There are fewer and fewer choices of hospital in Brooklyn due to closure or consolidation. Having tried all of them for various reasons, I can honestly say Maimonides is the best. They have a great attention to detail and a whole host of really good doctors associated with the hospital who are on call to come and consult about your condition. It is one of the best hospitals in the whole of the US as well for the treatment of heart conditions, which is what I have. Their cardiac ICU is amazing. The only downside is the emergency room is usually full to overflowing, and getting a bed / room if you have to be admitted can be a really long wait. But with such a large catchment area with so many elderly people to care for, this is understandable. I have never had cause to complain about any of their bills or report them to the insurance company for inappropriate charges. Everyone is very professional and takes pride in their work. Weekends can be a bit weird because it is an Orthodox hospital, so if you go in on a Friday, don't expect anything to get done until Monday afternoon at the earliest. But a hospital is a place to rest and be cared for, so while it is not as nice as being in your own home, be a patient patient and do what has to be done to get better. All of my family use this hospital as well, it is so much better than Lutheran or Methodist, so if you have a choice, look for Maimonides doctors and get any procedures done at the hospital.

Went there for ambulatory surgery on 9/26/18 and was greeted by the clerk as number 20 never addressed me by my name. He never introduced himself or wore a visible name tag. Was very distance from his job. Totally had
No interest in his work. Should have a job were he wouldn't have to deal with people. Very disappointed.

Never EVER come here. I’ve been here for 9 hours already and have only had an EKG and chest X-ray done. I’ll probably be here another 2 hours for my discharge papers.

Worst overall experience ever. This hospital is a death trap. Process is broken here in a bad way

I do want to give shoutout to Hillary in post surgical recovery on 4 in the Gellman pavilion.. she just connects on the human level.. 5

Im a diabetic and I go to my endocrinologist here. No matter how early my mother and I get there for my appointment it takes like 45 minutes just to get my quick check-up (weight, height and blood pressure) then takes about another 30 minutes for my named to be called to see the doctor. Staff is nice I guess, I do like my doctor though. She is very nice and you can tell she enjoys her job.
