"I applied to this company at least 6-7 different departments. Mind I have at least 10 years patient service experience and they all denied my application. Come on. Something fishy is going on here. I would not recommend applying for work here and go to Queens hospital. They will hire you even if you don't have any medical experience and will train you and give you a chance unlike this company. And the recruiter will make you think you have a chance and you sit and wait around and don't hear back from anyone. If I could give 0 starts I would. Don't apply here. Glad I found a better hospital to work for than this place."

"I am reposting this because I hope to save someone from the situation that happened to me. As a new mom and new to the area I chose to see Dr. John Bossian at this location. I presented to him crying and told him I couldn’t hold or nurse my first and only child due to excruciating pain in my neck/shoulder/ back. I explained my medical history, including previous medications, therapies, treatments, and provided his office with copies of x-rays I’d had before becoming pregnancy that showcased an already vulnerable spine. He very quickly brushed me off, and told me to take more Advil and Tylenol. I did, to the point I wound up with liver issues. He offered a PT referral but did not look at my previous imaging or offer to redo them. I showed up to PT, but the physical therapist was just as confused as I was and couldn’t offer a solid treatment plan with such general concerns and no imaging. I cried myself to sleep in pain every night for months, thinking it just must be normal for new moms to be in pain. The pain got worse and worse, and several weeks after I saw him and he declined appropriate care and consultation I lost the use of my left arm. My vision in my left eye became blurry, and my arm, having been numb for days, refused to move. For the first time in my life I wound up in the ER and long story short, after many tests and doctors later, found out a disc in my neck had been dislocated during labor and had further aggravated previous injuries. I had nerve damage and because it was untreated for so long, I am now facing an uphill battle with frequent pain, physical therapy, laser treatments, and medication management. Mind you, before pregnancy I was a nationally recognized certified personal trainer, posses and PhD, and a license to practice healthcare. So when I said I was in pain and couldn’t function, he should have listened. Instead he told me I was “emotional” (duh! I was a new and working mom in constant pain with a husband traveling for work during a pandemic with no family support to help physically assist me), and that all I needed was ibuprofen. Thankfully, another practitioner there ordered MRIs after my hospital stay and I’m now in GREAT treatment for all the lingering issues. But the pain and suffering I endured from a doctor that brushed me off and refused basic tests, like diagnostic imaging, or consultation of treating severe pain will last a lifetime. His negligence impacted my mental health, the safety of my daughter as I was unable to hold her or attend to her properly, the financial health of my family due to my need to cut back on hours to get extensive medical treatment, my career I had worked my whole life for, and so much more. It’s unbelievable that anyone would allow him to practice medicine, and I would so strongly caution you and your loved ones to stay far, far away if you value your health and safety."
