Best 15 MD and Hospital near Binghamton, NY (Part 4)

Jennifer Ann Receptionists were very kind. Dental assistant was very kind, and reassuring me I was doing well throughout my extraction and the dentist was also very kind and understanding. Like another comment mentioned they do lower the lights but I believe thats so they can see inside your mouth better. Second best place I have had extractions done. Also you do have to do only a X-ray for your first appt if you live far away thats good information to have. But I was made aware of that before my first appt. I am back today for my 2nd extraction and have way less anxiety than the first time.

Kasey Came in for emergency wisdom tooth extraction & the process couldn’t have been easier/painless. I’m terrified of the dentist and this place put all my worries to ease. Everyone was friendly and made me feel great.

Mollie Ticknor Absolutely disgraceful I’ve sat in this waiting room for 5 hours, everyone before me has come and gone. Yet I’m over here in immense pain due to my cyst ruptures and look 6 months pregnant due to my endometriosis. But apparently everyone else is more important. I’ve sat here with no food, not even a “hey are you doing alright?” Worse ER to come to. DO NOT recommend

Jenn Miller Payroll messed up over 40 new hire federal tax deductions. Sounds like people are going to lose cars or homes over it. Response its your fault. No its the drug addict you hired and fired. I will be making some phonecalls, i have all day to make calls too. Im Kevin im using my wifes account because they eliminated more portal after i came in with pneumonia and fluid in lung and they just sent me home Turns out i was septic and need 20 bags of iv antibiotics and a 4 day stay. Guthrie helped me tho

james allen I can say that this institution is consistent. My ER visit was horrendous. The staff was unattenent and snippy, not to mention slow. The patient advocacy team was difficult to get in contact with and marginally helpful when I finally did. My bill from the hospital did not match what I received from my insurance company, as it had an "insurance adjustment" that raised my bill $233. When I called to get an explanation, it was hard to get in touch with anyone who cared much less who could tell me what the charge was for. After some doing I was told it was a NY state tax, so I asked for an itemized bill reflecting that it was a tax. A couple weeks later I received the same bill in the mail stating the charge was an insurance adjustment along with a Google printout explaining the New York Healthcare Reform Act. And yes I am referring to a printout of a Google search; petty I know. I ended up paying the bill in full just to put this establishment behind me. I would highly recommend going to UHS.

Christina Correll Worst experience ever in the ER. Arrived at 8pm, they immediately decided to admit my husband yet we stayed in the ER until 2am listening to the staff swear and use prejudice slang and act grossly unprofessional. Then they put us in the Clinical Decision Unit where we were advised the complete opposite information of what we were told by the ER staff. So now we are under observation for up to 24 hours, not yet admitted. The nurse didnt even know how to open the chart on the computer and was full of complete medical misinformation. Cant wait to see how much were paying for this garbage service and if theyre ever going to get their stories straight. We ended up being in the Clinical Decision Room until the following evening. The night staff gave me a .metal chair for the entire stay, gee thanks. What I will say is that the DAY STAFF WAS AWESOME. They were professional and informative.

Deirdre Eberhart Love my doc… but can’t get in to see him. I called and no one answered. I called the walk-in even, and no one answered. This is a giant company on a Wednesday. I should be able to get through.

Angel Hunt Miserable receptionist, horrible time management showed up at 9:48 for a 10:05 appt told they were on time. Still waiting in lobby at 10:30. Staff is rude and degrading and quick to push u out the door with no answers and “reschedule” so they don’t have to see you.

Maddie Putrino If you’re wondering why the ICU beds are “full”, it is most definitely not because of COVID, it is because this hospital couldn’t stand up against this tyrannical state and fired a bunch of exceptional doctors, nurses and staff. They do not care about their employees which in turn results in poor patient care. If you have any serious health issues consider going across the border to Guthrie where they still have enough staff to provide quality care.

Carolyn Heefner I wish I could give UHS 0 stars. They have consistently put money and the needs of the state and the Governor above their own patients and doctors. They’re now letting go of MANY incredible nurses and doctors bc of this tyrannical state. So if you’re in an emergency and you’re questioning why there’s a healthcare crisis in Broome County rest assured it was created by the state and carried out by our hospitals that pretend they care about you.

Tim Hubbard I was a CHF patient for four years at this location until December 3, 2024. In the four years as a patient, I had three different cardiologists. The first two cardiologists left the practice for personal reasons. My scheduled appointment in September 2024, was canceled due to the lack of an available physician. The appointment was scheduled again for December 3. When I arrived for my 2:30 PM appointment, I was checked in and waited an hour and a half. Other patients came and were called back to see their providers and left. I asked why I was waiting so long and the front desk assistant said, “this is crazy, I don’t know what happened.” She left the desk for five minutes and came back and tried to schedule yet another appointment for the following week. The following day, the clinic reported me as a “no-show“ and started a string of harassing phone calls to try to get me to reschedule. As far as I know, they have dishonestly billed my insurance for the so-called no-show. There was no apology given. It is quite clear that they do not put their patients first as they consistently failed to provide me with consistent and professional care.

michelle My Mom wanted to be treated at Lourdes Hospital but they Failed her. I dont have any good words, at this time, to say. Im still so upset with the care she received especially in the last moments of her life in the ICU. I pray that Lourdes will start living by their Mission Statement-"we commit ourselves to serving all persons, special attention, spiritually centered, sustains and improves the health of individuals, compassionate." My Mom was a beautiful person and deserved to be treated better! Lourdes Mission Statement: "Rooted in the loving ministry of Jesus as healer, we commit ourselves to serving all persons with special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable. Our Catholic health ministry is dedicated to spiritually centered, holistic care which sustains and improves the health of individuals and communities. We are advocates for a compassionate and just society through our actions and our words

Kate DiGraziano I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of care I received at the Triage/CPEP units. I came in with pretty severe withdrawals & suicidal thoughts, and the nurses/in-house psychiatrists could not have been more compassionate, non-judgmental and attentive towards me. Not only that, but they were very professional in giving me a concrete mental health plan going forward (setting up an appointment with a new psychiatrist for medication management, and another with a social worker I can speak with going forward). It made me feel like I was not alone in this, which is very important in my opinion. If you are in crisis, it can be scary to think of going to one of these places. But I can assure you, one mentally ill chick to another, they will help you here. The waiting room is a bit chaotic -- but once youre back in a room, they really will take care of you. Highly recommend for anyone going through a similar crisis -- there is nothing to be afraid of, they truly want to help you feel like yourself again.

Lynnette Hawkins I just want to say that this program is a Godsend. Even though I had to wait countless hours to be seen....it was worth every minute. Charles in the CPEP department is one of the kindest, most understanding people that I have ever met in the healthcare field. Dont let the wait deter you, they will truly help you to find your way.

Isadora Luce I tried to make an appointment for 9:30am at 9:08am because I woke up sick, and I wanted to get tested for covid/strep/flu because I have an immunocompromised roommate. It wasn’t within the 30 minute window, and there were no other appointments for the day. I called decker and they were completely unwillingly to help me or try to figure something else out. I understand there’s a 30 minute window to schedule an appointment, but it seems pretty insane that an open appointment was wasted over 8 minutes.

Dieter Borbeck Dr Moose is a very unprofessional and irresponsible medical practitioner. Not to mention the slow and ineffective ambulance service. My friend almost died of anaphylaxic shock because the EMTs took their sweet time (over half an hour) getting to where my friend was. (mind you my friend was in o’connor in dickinson which is right next to decker and the ambulances)

Aisa Jefferson I would prob not recommend but I would recommend the teachers were lovely expect the orange head one. Ms Jordan she’s nice Just to lyk the staff curse I mean there’s no prob w dem doing it bc children do to but if ur on suicidal watch they literally watch u 24/7 They go in the bathroom w u when uu shower also.. very uncomfortable. And sometimes they’re rude and disrespectful but they don’t notice they’re rude . But yeah rate it a 10 it’s not that bad but it’s not worser the turn about ranch ..

Becky Conklin Continued to discuss patients private health information with other agencies even after the patient had been removed from their counseling program.

Candace Burghardt I was taken to this hospital via ambulance after getting hit by a car. I was a pedestrian. Understandably, I was upset and nervous. The accident happened so fast I was not entirely sure of the extent of my injuries. Of course adrenaline was involved, so it was difficult to determine exactly my symptoms. The doctors words were: "Well, youre walking around so you must be okay" . I was pacing in the room because:(1) it was very painful to sit,(2) I was very upset and nervous and(3) I was worried because my adult autistic son was in the waiting area. My husband was trying to show me support and keep an eye on our autistic son and was yelled at by the registration person for doing that. Then she yelled at me because she said she didnt have my name? The whole experience was surreal. The doctor reluctantly ordered a X ray of my pelvis. When he came back in to tell me the results he was rude and talked over me, not wanting to listen to my other symptoms. I was awake most of that night with neck and shoulder pain. In 34 years practicing physical therapy, I have never talked to a patient the way he spoke to me and I have never treated a patient disrespectfully the way I was at this hospital.

Liu Cristantiello in ~2016 id gone to the emergency room because i was experiencing extreme stomach pain, vomiting, just an absolute mess. it came and went very fast, by the time id gotten to the emergency room and sat there a while id felt a bit better. this lead to my pain being implied to have resulted from period pains, or just me faking it, and i was sent back home pretty quick. in 2017, i was suddenly feeling a very familiar extreme pain in my stomach and vomiting. it did not go away as quickly this time, and this time the doctor did a CAT scan. wouldnt you know, my appendix was leaking. wouldve been great if theyd looked into that the first time. in ~2019, id gone in repeatedly about unrelated stomach nausea and pain. this was ongoing for months, i threw up daily and could barely keep down water for months, i begged for help multiple times. was pretty sure i knew why too, it seemed by all accounts i had an ulcer. everytime i went here though, they insisted that what i had was a uti. i just stopped going here eventually because i knew they wouldnt help me. i was curled up in bed almost everyday, i genuinely felt like i was dying and had nowhere to go. Wouldnt You Know, when i finally got in contact with a g.i. who took my words seriously enough to get me in quickly, not only did i not have the stupid uti, not only did i have an ulcer like i said, i had 8 damn ulcers. this hospital could see someone bleeding out on their tile floor and not give a damn.

Rebekah Cohrs It feels like youre going into a forgotten basement cave when you go in. Just the rooms themselves are so cramped and dated, it definitely does not feel like youll be a priority. I challenge John Carrigg to send his loved ones there. I doubt he would. The nurses all were kind, I was impressed with their care. Thats literally the only positive though. Its been well over a full day with no updates. One Dr spoke to me to get background info almost 24 hours ago at this point. At that time she said Id hear back in a few hours. I waited hours with a patient hoping to get an update, still nothing. Had there been any other feasible option Id be gone in a heartbeat. The lack of social workers or advocates there to assist people unable to make informed decisions on their own there is appalling. I was with a patient and actively seeking answers and got none. What on earth about all those going in with no loved ones to assist? Its like theyre in a black hole where their only use is for the hospital to pad their income through multiple tests that no one ever gets the results to. Again, immediate staff, nurses, guards, I was impressed with their empathy and caring, but they definitely seem to be stuck under the typical issue of out of touch upper management whom assuredly would go to the new Wilson wing if they needed to get treated. If you go here seeking mental health treatment for you or a loved one I am quite sure youll leave scarred from the experience and with new issues to deal with in therapy. This place does not end the cycle, it perpetuates it.

Isaac Glasgow If I could give zero Stars I would I was in the hospital/ ER for 8 hours due to chest pain and I felt like I could not breathe and all they gave me was a pill
