Best 7 MD and Hospital near Buffalo, NY (Part 4)

Maund Anthony (Tony) If it were possible, I would not even give this place one star. I went in with confusion, high blood pressure, and couldnt even tell them where I was, but they let me leave and drive home. Thankfully I had someone driving me home in my car. Im still suffering. Theyre was something weird on my EKG which the Dr never stood to explain what it meant. They accused me of drug seeking as they were reading my negative toxic screen and had records of almost 5 years with clean toxes. This ER could kill you by the lack of medical treatment and they dont even care about the people they are treating. I waited weeks to make this review so I could better explain how they almost let me die then sent me home. This is not a good hospital and far from a safe space. I literally will never reach out to another medical facility again, even if I die as a result. Im still sick and cannot eat. This was the major issue I had brought up. Its been almost a month and I am only consuming meal shakes. I was in mental health distress and am still there. Id rather die than ever go back to any Buffalo hospital, Mercy Hospital is next up because they let me also drive home without me even knowing where I was at. NO ONE WITH HALF A BRAIN GOES TO THE HOSPITAL TO DRUG SEEK, THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING NEAR AS STRING AS I CAN FIND ON THE STREETS, I NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION, NOT TO BE TREATED POORLY.

Catherine Breen My husband waited for 8.5 hours after being told by his doctor to go to ECMC and wait it out. I called the staff (because no one was at the desk and talked to Kaitlyn, his PA called the ER several time explaining the situation and after 8.5 hours, he wasnt triaged so we left to go to Mercy. There were people, listening to their devices with volume turned up. Some were walking in stocking feet, pants around their ankles, talking to themselves and arguing on the phone. Two security guards were spread out in easy chairs, not moving and no one was at the desk. It was like an unsupervised asylum. Disgusting.

Tashnemara Upama What a joke this hospital is. Horrible experience. I’ve been waiting in the emergency with my dad since 5 o’clock. So 8 hours. When i asked staff nicely, they reply saying someone is waiting for 13 hours proudly. What a joke? How is this even a emergency room? Never had an experience like this! Unacceptable. People will die out here just waiting to be seen by the doctor. Update: we waited 10 hours and ended up leaving without seeing doctor.

Yvonne Emke Went to ED in severe pain for appendicitis evaluation. After hours trying to be seen by ANYBODY (we never left the waiting room) the staff then misdiagnosed me by saying I had a blood clot in my leg--which was totally not accurate. After 14 hours and constant nasty attitudes by the staff, I finally got discharged. No diagnosis for abdominal pain. No care to relieve these symptoms. As an RN for the last 30 years, I have never seen or been a part of such a horrible lack of care. Will never return to such a negative environment. Think twice before going to this so called ED.

Miggie Jean A year ago, Dr. Schifeling came highly recommended by one of my specialist but the receptionist said he does not really see patients. I got a young Asian doctor (can’t remember his name) but he was an awful physician. I have multiple sclerosis and was just came off heavy steroids a few months earlier so I was concerned about the excess weight. He dismissed my concerns and basically insinuated that I must be overeating and that’s the only reason I’m fat. He gave me literature on how to not overeat—for context, I am a pescatarian who is a picky eater and under calories. My dear neurologist was the one who found that my thyroid is extremely enlarged. I called the primary care to set up an appointment and spoke to the disgusting excuse for a receptionist. She yelled at me “what is the emergency” when I told her I couldn’t wait months for an appointment. It’s been over a year and I won’t go back to this office.

The Elegant Brain This is a hit or miss type of clinic. Some interns are great while others shouldnt be allowed to practice. The receptionists are by nature extremely rude, with rate exception.

Kitty Cat Lover Slow, extremely slow . Go there if you love waiting in pain.

Trippy Savv The way they treat people here is disgusting!! You can ask basically anybody who has been to ecmc and theyll all tell you how horrible it is. Treated my mother horrible after her surgery and discharged her under an hour from getting out of surgery despite it being a major life changing surgery. They told me theyd update me when she was out of surgery and they didnt!!! I was waiting in the waiting room for hours with nobody telling me what was going and then to find out they made horrible comments to my mother! UNREAL save yourself the energy and go to a different hospital. Sadly her surgeon operated out of ecmc only.

Duke Nicholls TERRIBLE
