Report
This hospital needs to be shut down. Most people in the bronx are lower class so they think we don't deserve basic human rights. I had a stroke and they told me nothing was wrong. I wound up going to a hospital in manhattan where they were MORTIFIED that they told me nothing was wrong. They actually took down the doctors name. Horrible disgusting and ghetto. All the nurses there are ghetto and the doctors are from other counties. Very horrible. There are many other hospitals in NYC that are amazing. Do not waste your time going here save your time and most importantly save your life.

I have been going to this hospital since I was 6 yrs old, and I most say that the only complaint I have is the nasty unprofessional ppl that they have working on the phones. They are one of the nasties rude ppl I have ever deal with. It's Sad that because ppl like them this hospital have a really bad reputation. They should all be retrained. Other wise this hospital have saved my live multiple times, and both of my kids.
When I was 25 yrs old, about to be 10 yrs ago, OMG. I was induced because of medical reasons and after giving birth I had 2 TIA's ( a small stroke) I remember my blood pressure was 215/196 at a point. This hospital saved my love and of my baby. I will add that the is one one of a few times they have saved my life. Every hospital has bad employees like everyone else. But I most say I was treated there and I can go on and on about experiences my family member and I have about Bronx care.

As the Covid Pandemic percentage of people sick goes down so should the regulations of this hospital with being able to visit our loved ones. With the hospital having a short staff issue and patients not being able to get the care they 100% need this is something the hospital management should consider and look over. We the family need to advocate for our sick loved. Really poor from this hospital. I will escalate this further.
