Northern Dutchess Hospital

I'm a paramedic in the northern Dutchess county area, so as you can probably imagine, I come here a lot. The staff is skilled and compassionate. I tell all of my patients that Northern Dutchess Hospital provides about the best personal care you can get at any hospital.

Had a horrible 3rd world hospital experience here for my 83-year old mom. She fell at home and hurt her back, entered hospital on sunday eve Sept. 30, and now has now been in hospital for 11 days, no surgery, no diagnosis, just pumping her full of morphine and Oxycontin while she lays there bedridden in pain. Orthopedic docs Perkins and Schweppe did MRI's but never returned for a diagnosis? In the meantime she just lays there and cries in pain, for days on end. Have been requesting an orthopedic doc for 4 days now and none have come. Doctors Perkins and Schweppe and Northern Dutchess Hospital have completely dropped the ball here and have been abusive and neglectful toward my mom, denying her a doctor who can provide a diagnosis (they only provide docs who can tell me how many pain killers they give her). No one in the hospital seems to know what is happening and when this magical ortho doc will appear. They keep saying that "Dr. Perkins will come" but he never does. They just pump us full of lies and excuses, and pump my mom full of drugs. Shame on you all.

Idiots they don't even know how to work the own machinery. Nurses are nice except stay away from Sousa and any new nurse. Surgery is. Great I don't think they can read in the kitchen they allways mess something up

Extremely clean. Everyone is very nice. Very accommodating!

The emergency room was clean and the Dr and nurses was good Except the guy that came and done my chest xray,he didn't listen and hurt my back
