Plainview Hospital

"I was brought in this past Friday by ambulance having a asthma attack. I had also thrown up blood and was experiencing serious tremors. For some reason why one of your nurses could not see past the fact that yes I was in rehab 9 months ago, and kept insisting that I was experiencing a drug overdose. The whole time that I was there she was nothing but rude and treated me as if I was less than human because of my past. After a few hours of minor medical treatment (nebulizer, oxygen and a CT scan she walked in insisted that I take a drug test. When I told her that I couldn't since I had no fluids and I was refused water. She stormed out. Returned 5 minutes later telling me that she was discharging me. Took an hour for somebody to remove the IV leaving me bruised and bleeding. Yeah a little bandage that I soaked through in 2 minutes and aother 45 minutes before she just shoved a folder at me and told me to see a pulmonologist exit is that way. This used to be one of the better hospitals but it seems like since they updated the outside the seemed to loose sight on the inside. Yet another local hospital for me to avoid ."

"I’m giving this hospital 5 stars all because of the nurse manager Stephanie. An amazing person. She made our stay comfortable and safe. All the staff from the security to the nurses were friendly and understanding. Issues or concerns were dealt with immediately."

"⚠️AVOID Emergency Room AT ALL COSTS‼️⚠️ Jan 2024⚠️ IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE Arrived into ER at Midnight, my wife was in severe abdominal pain. Saw the Triage Nurse Brian fairly quickly (Thank you Brain). We waited til about 2am in waiting room to get into an Exam Room. At 2am, i went to the nurses desk and asked about a Dr. They said there was only 1 Dr and he was busy with other patients. I walked around several times to all the other Exam/Trauma rooms which were half empty. I did not see a Dr. I guess the head nurse got annoyed I was walking around and came to the Exam Room at 4:45am. My wife explained her situation and the nurse responded "its gonna be a while the Dr is with other patients". At 5am, a person came in to take vitals and the pain medication that my wife took at home started to wear off and my wife asked him for Advil or Tylenol he said he would mention to the nurse. At 6am my wife and I walked out never saw the nurse again, never saw a doctor. It looks like THERE IS NO DOCTOR ONSITE BETWEEN MIDNIGHT and 8AM at this hospital. Nurses desk staff rude, unprofessional and patient care is NOT their priority. I have been to this hospital before in the past 25 yrs that I have been living in the area and I'm not sure if its a change in companies that own the hospital or management at the hospital but compared to just the last 2 years, the quality of nurses and even support staff has drastically declined"

"I went to the hospital for a procedure that was out patient and it got scary in the OR. I had to stay over night for observation. The staff was beautiful, everyone was kind and very helpful. The food was pretty good aswell. The nurses, nurse assistants and doctors were attentive and caring."

"This hospital and the emergency room staff are an absolute disgrace! My poor daughter who had fainted at home and came in with severe abdominal pain, was not treated as an emergency patient. The emergency room is very small with patients laying and sitting on the floor. My daughter started to lose consciousness again and passed out. I screamed for help and when 2 female staff members came to “help” one whispered under her breath… “yeah right she fainted”. I asked them to please help my child who was unresponsive and they told me that there were other people ahead of her. Everyone in that waiting room seemed fine, they were all watching the price is right and having conversations. I took my daughter, placed her in a wheelchair and took her to Winthrop. What a horrible experience!!!! They should really treat patients by the type of emergency, not by a schedule. I don’t wish this kind of treatment on anybody, especially someone’s child. Shame on them!!!"
