Montclair Hospital Medical Center

I’ve had my good & bad experiences in the emergency room lately I’ve been treated good I always come late night so I can be in & out never long wait I’m always seen quick sometimes have to sit for a minute not very long for the past morning I’ve been coming I’ve gotten the most amazing doctor he’s been very nice great to conversate with make sure I’m well taking care of made sure I got what I needed for my sickle cell crisis the nurses I’ve had they’ve been such angels toward me I’ve been out here for a year I’ve been coming for a year like I said I came across great doctors and doctors that didn’t believe that I was hurting . Every time I was admitted I had this guy doctor he has been nothing but amazing made sure I got everything i needed this is an amazing hospital haven’t had a bad experience in a cool minute here when I first moved out here I did but now everything goes according thank God for the nurses doctors the whole staff that checks in on me everyone knows me down to the night shift & morning shift knows me always asking about my twins on how they are doing always wants an update or to see pictures the staff is amazing haven’t been admitted since the middle of November with my health I always used to get a lot of admissions due to me having sickle cell anemia mother of twins boys 1 years old now. They make sure I’m back to feeling better to be home with my boys I pray that it continues to stay on the path that it’s going sometimes I get nurses who mean mug or fake care some doctors I’ve had in the beginning used to tell me I was faking , lying , drug-seeking, I don’t have sickle cell . Well to bust your bubbles My mother found out I had been diagnosed with sickle cell anemia when I was 7 months old I’m 25 years old been in & out the hospital my whole entire life so I don’t call that faking whatsoever

Came in to the E.R. because I could NOT walk due to severe pain on my right side from my hip down. I had to be pushed in a wheelchair to make it in the hospital since I was unable to walk. Wait time was 3 hours to been seen. The on call E.R. Dr. Kurera Did a 30 sec evaluation and said "take pain meds and see your regular doctor". In no way did seem to be interested in my symptoms. He simply stated its muscle pain. No x-ray, no test or anything done but a pain medication given. Will be leaving this hospital in a wheelchair and going to a real hospital for a actual diagnosis.

If you go to the emergency room and talk to Dr. Ralph Conner, he likes to justify your symptoms and is very insensitive. I understand he has a stressing job but treating someone with disrespect because you cannot relate to their medical issues is unacceptable. He definitely needs compassion training because he’s not fit to help heal anyone.
He came into our area with a negative attitude, my family member was in pain and unfortunately crying in agony and he made the remark “she seems to be crying way more just because I’m here” and started pushing and pressing on her problem area with excessive force and would not stop until she shoved his hand away.
I asked for a new doctor because he was extremely unprofessional and they informed me that he was the only doctor. We saw him that one time and he never came back in at all, we heard him converse with everyone else multiple times but only visited us once. Not even to go through the ultrasound results or blood work. So we’re still up in the air.
I don’t know if he was having a bad day or if it was just us that he had an issue with, but I have never been treated with such disrespect. He is a prime example of what some people fear when they go to a hospital, I hope that this helps you guys and he reads this so that he can better himself in handling his patients.

I have been waiting to see the doctor for 3hr the nurse only came once wondering how long is going to take I'm loving the conversation the nurses are having and really enjoying the bad words there using around old ppl and kids

Jobana was my nurse she was great and made me feel comfortable. The Dr was great staff is great. I was not waiting for a long time.
