Stony Brook University Hospital

I am not sure what all the bad reviews are. My dad went into ICU there was a Nurse named Nicki up there who was super fabulous. Anytime we asked for something it was brought asap. My dad asked for pain medication and Nicki went out of her way to have someone cover her post and run down to the pharmacy and pick it up rather than have to wait for someone to bring it. The kitchen : mostly precooked kept warm food however they have an egg and omelet station where you can get over easy eggs or an omelet that is fresh and warm. I am not sure if they closed at 10am or 10:30 am but the lady making the omelets started turning people away 15 minutes prior to the closing sign posted. I said "oh no, I came here yesterday and you were closed too" she said "I'll tell you what, I will make you an omelet, but you get to be the bad one and tell anyone after you I am closed" based on the fact its 15 minutes prior to closing time I felt that was wrong. If you are on line prior to closing time you should be able to get food. My dad then got moved to a regular floor and while the nurses were more sporadic it still was not hard to get a nurse and everyone was super friendly. My dad got better and is home safe and sound. Thank you Stony Brook !!!

This hospital is the worse to go to. Your always waiting to be seen by someone. They place patients in rooms that are suppose to be on is. Doctors are always talking about someone in the elevator. The wait for the Er is always long . Clerks becomes nasty and don't want to be bothered with questions. They think because they have curtains that it's OK to place patients in hallways. I wouldn't go here ever again if I was on my death bed. Stay far away go get help somewhere else!!!

Currently waiting with my dad in the er, he is suppose to be admitted. We have been waiting since 11:00, it’s almost 11:00pm. Nothing!! The excuse, waiting for doctors to write notes to admit my dad. How do you keep a 91 year old in this type of environment. I would rather die, than to come to this hospital for medical attention. Also, it’s dirty. Spilled urine on the floor and they pretend it didn’t happen. Explain to me, why are we paying all this money in healthcare. It’s a 3rd world country here!! Stay away if you have a choice.

One star rating might not be fair to doctors, local and technic staffs, but it’s still an over high rating for the hospital’s phone services. You can enjoy a waiting on phone over an hour and even if you successfully get an operator, you still will not get things done when these operators kick soccer between each other.

Went there last night with irregular and rapid heartbeat. From the second I walked in , I was treated like I was the only patient there. I was taken right away to the critical care unit where I was immediately surrounded by doctors and nurses. They couldn’t have been more professional and courteous. They explained everything they were doing to me they including the procedure I got wich was synchronized cardio version. The level of care I received was second to none. Keep up the good work
