My visit today was amazing. 7am staff called to confirm my appointment. I explained I forgot to order my can right away she assisted. I received my ride to and from hospital. The staff at front desk know my name that feels so good and was very attentive Triage always are polite and patient and just adds to making a great day right before seeing the Dr. you can ask questions they always make sure I show and speak to Dr so I can get updated that Dr can advise me about my concerns. Now to mention My Dr. Ana Absolutely Amazing Caring great listener Attentive and Supportive Walks me though options and when I leave I feel great that she cares So Thxs to Bellevue for having a great staff of service that supports a patient that needs so many services all of this is so important how they speak and treat me

When I went there, the people were very nice, very quick. There was no time that was wasted. Everything happened so quickly every area that I went to it was on time. Everybody was willing to help everybody spoke to where you could understand it. You didn't need no issues. You didn't need extra people to guide you wrong. And the experience was great. It wasn't bad, wasn't like other hospitals where you're waiting for 2 to 3 hours just to see somebody when you're on an appointment, when the appointment says they were even earlier to answer me when I got there early and not late and they were really, really great.

This is absolutely the worst hospital I’ve ever been to in my life! The doctors and nurses have terrible service attitudes and are very uncooperative in communication. Medical efficiency is abysmally low. I was forced to wait for over ten hours. Even when there were no other patients left, we were still made to wait endlessly. No one informed us how long we would have to wait, and patients couldn’t even eat properly. The staff completely ignore patients’ needs, with slow, sluggish and inefficient work. It’s nothing but a waste of money and sheer torture.

This time I visited Bellevue hospital because I needed to make sure how I was doing with ITU symptoms. I finished my 2nd treatment and days later I was uncomfortable. Taking good advantage my son went to see his dad, after few trips back and forth I was able to show up. After I was seeing by doctor then nurse, it was okay, that nurse was a male named Marco in E.R., he's 👍 good!. After 2 hours I was starving and feeling dizzy. I asked a volunteer guy for a vending machine, instead he offered me some foods, Another nurse refused that offer, then nurse Marco came in with kindness gave me a sandwich 🥪, . Diabetes patients should be treated kindly, all patients deserve it but Diabetes patients are more delicated. 1st and 2nd doctors I saw, they were good 👍. But that nurse who refused to assist me, God have mercy on him, people are heart hardened and heartless. Now for that nurse Marco, I wish all blessings 🙌 🙏 ❤️ , now and always. He should be head of all nurses. His performance was outstanding, it was great, it was excellent, it was good 👍 👏.
