St. John's Episcopal Hospital

I know that this hospital has got many negative reviews and its not highly rated but I have to say this. I suffered a minor heart attack and the EMS brought me here because I live in Rockaway The level of service was 1st class. The staff were attentive and kind. They kept me alive and stabilized my condition until I could be transferred to Mt Sinai in Manhattan for an angioplasty procedures.

This hospital shouldn't even be open to start, now the staff that came to us were very pleasant but the facility needs lots of repairs. I notice that if you know some that works there your waiting experience will be cut to straight to the waiting beds. This is the nearest hospital to our house so I took my baby there not knowing the Pediatric area was so small & in such conditions (deteriorating). Never going back there. I'm writing letters to a lot of people regarding this place after this horrible experience.

I wouldn't even take my dog there..i spent 24 hours in the ER and still haven't been placed in the room. The nurses refuse to help all they do is complain about wanting to go home. The hospital is full of medical students and NO DOCTORS. It's about time they shut this facility down and start fresh with qualified doctors and nurses.

I was expecting a horrible experience but I was pleasantly surprised. I found the staff including nurses, aides, students, residents, and attending physicians to be very knowledgeable and caring. I would go to St John's and recommend it to anyone.

WHEN THEY FINALY CALL ITS A 20 MINUTE SERVICE......NEXT THING THEY SEND YOU HOME WITH A FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR DOCTORS.8 HOURS IN THE E.R. AND WHEN THEY FINALY SEE YOU .
