Newark Beth Israel Medical Center

I came to this hospital because my sons ent Doctor worked out of there and he had to have the surgery done. If I knew that I would have such a horrid experience I would have gone to another ent doctor. From the moment we registered to going up to my sons room after the surgery was a 7 hour wait to be brought up to the room! Te only reason I got moved up to the room was because I went upstairs and said I was NOT moving until I spoke with a supervisor.
The only thing that was good about this was my doctor. My sons tray for the food didn't come Til 12pm in the afternoon from the day after the surgery. Can you imagine!!!?
I am sick to my stomach thinking that people could experience this after me... If you could avoid this hospital please do so at all cost!

i had a seizure there was a two hour wait staff seemed friendly

The Admitting Department in Radiology could improve their phone etiquette skills. When you attempt to ask questions, the women who answer the calls, do not allow you to finish speaking, the tone is extremely harsh and rude.

My wife recently delivered a baby here, was hospitalized for 3 days. Mixed staff; some nurses especially the African-American and Pakistani nurses were extremely helpful, professional, attentive, detailed oriented while some nurses especially the Gujrati Indian nurses were not so helpful. Most of their security personnel (e.g. the latino) were rude, unhelpful and always busy chatting on their phones while some were really helpful and professional. A nurse 64 year of age made us feel at home and was very helfpul, God bless her always

My mother was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday of this week. On the day of discharge which was today, after returning from dialysis she was very weak, she called several times for the nurse and no one came, she then called me at home. I called the hospital several times and could not get through when I finally got through the nurse claimed he was not on the floor at time time when she was calling, I asked him wasn't there anyone else who would have seen or heard her calling and he avoid answering me. I was on the phone with my mother while she yelling to the top of her voice for someone to come and assist her and no one came. It is sad that some people do not realize that this could be them laying in a hospital bed being very sick and no one would come. This is not the first encounter with this hospital and the poor service which they give to the residents of the Newark area. Some of the staff do realize that is because of these very patients why they have a job. No patients, no hospital, no job.
