Katz Women's Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center 270-05 76th Avenue, Queens, NY 11040

"I could go on and on about this hospital! My registration nurse, Rosa, made me feel comfortable and like family. My surgeon, Dr Scanlon, and her team were thoughtful and thorough. I felt like I was in good hands. I traveled from FL because I was so comfortable with her. My recovery nurse, Alex, was strong, patient and so helpful. Since I was dizzy and nauseous from the anesthesia, I was admitted to the 4th tower, 4th floor. There, my night nurse, Deanne, small but so strong, responded quickly to my every page, helped me to the bathroom each hour throughout the night! My morning nurse, Sheree, was also kind and helpful, discharged me like a breeze and explained my meds to me, and didn't rush me out. The quality nurse manager, Smita, was also kind and made sure everyone was accommodating, and she walked with me up and down the hall. I wish I could've stayed there for a week! The room was amazing... clean, so spacious, with a spacious and beautiful bathroom, a large flat screen TV, and the most comfortable bed I've every been on! I'm getting ready to send them a thank you gift from edible arrangements."

"I had a great birthing experience here. I came on 12/25 to get induced and was immediately given a room. I wasn’t able to eat actual food but was able to have ginger ale and soups. The nurses I had were very nice and caring they were understaffed though so sometimes they took longer. I didnt have to wait more than 10-15 minutes for my epidural when asked for. I had babyboy 12/26 he was mu first born and the nurse and the doctors told me how to push which prevented me from tearing. In postpartum the nurses were also amazing too they taught me everything I needed to know to care for myself and my babyboy, they have a menu selection for food and gave me a postpartum kit to take home. Overall I would come back here."

"My experience of recent in this hospital traumatized me, no one with a major problem should ever I repeat ever come here, if they don’t want to end up gone. I am yet to seek therapy after such a horrible experiences. Please if you love your life don’t go here periodt. Horrible, horrible, horrible place. My sister passed on in this hospital, it was a very traumatic experience for me, I do not recommend this place, never. What she need was dialysis, they kept on giving her medications. I was insisting they transferred her, the Doctor’s said they could treat her with medications, now my sister is gone. Do not come here if you have a major health problem, never."

"Delivered my son here on November 1st. The labor and delivery nurses are incredible and I am very happy with the care my baby and I received. My only complaint is the horrid woman at the registration desk when you first walk in. She was extremely cold and rude for absolutely no reason and should not be the first person people have to deal with when they arrive here, especially when they are already feeling nervous."

"My daughter had our first grand baby at Katz Women’s Hospital a week ago. All of the staff was beyond excellent with the exception of one who happens to be a nurse. This particular nurse had no personality whatsoever. After many requests to have my granddaughter given her first bath, we had the pleasure of watching this particular nurse (Violet) man handled this little innocent child who was only in the world a little more than 48 hours.. it was unbelievable the way this nurse (Violet) bathed this little angel.. My daughter and wife began to cry while watching this unpleasant event. Surprisingly the nurse ( Violet ) asked why were they crying, my wife replied “ we’re emotional “. My wife wanted to voice her concerns to the nurse (Violet), however elected not to as she didn’t want to overstep her role only being the grandmother… Situations like this spoils the awesome customer service that was rendered by the many professional staff upon arrival and throughout my daughter’s stay. While this experience doesn’t necessarily speak for the majority, it certainty gives a black eye to all of the hard work that’s being put in. It is my hope that nurses like this be imminently removed and reassigned. The maternity ward requires responsible compassionate professional staff at all times with no exceptions."
