NYC Health Hospitals/Lincoln - Bronx (NY)

1 /5 Leesa O: MUST READ!! IF YOU HAVE A CHILD BELOW THE AGE OF 18YO, DO NOT! TAKE THEM TO LINCOLN HOSPITAL. They have no pediatric psych department for children. When you get there, they ask you whats wrong, depending on how bad your child is going through something, they drug them and or strap them down and leave them in the back. These children sit or lay in an open, but isolated area in the back with no doctor or therapist to talk to for days. Other than a Psych doctor coming in around 9-10am to call their name and ask, "Do you feel like hurting yourself or others"?. If they say no, they go home. But God forbid they say yes or you allow them to be admitted. Then they will be trapped there for days on end with nothing to do or anyone to talk to, no diagnosis or actual mental health treatment because the whole time you will be "waiting for a bed" at another hospital that actually see pediatric psych patients. They wont discharge your child for you to take them to another hospital yourself because they were marked for admission and cant leave unless by them in an ambulance to go to the other hospital. "According to their policy " While there they use coercion, threats of calling ACS or you getting thrown out, bullying and intimidation tactics to keep you your child there and to keep you from refusing drugs for your child or leaving with your child, when they do nothing to help them. It really breaks my heart to know children are being treated like that. There would be 0 stars, but the one star could be for some of the good nurses that are there. *Photo of little room in back where psych children stay.

1 /5 Phoenix O.: Weve been in the E.R. for 2 nights! Because they didnt have rooms available! Why admit her??? Then to add insult to injury they put my mom who has Alzheimers, is non verbal above what sound like a generator thats loud, so much so, that the room reverberates, is Cold and they have the room close because she has Covid!! If you ask me, it feel like they want to kill her, and have me go insane!!! Sucks to be poor! Youre sick and theres no consideration, or empathy!! My complaints have fallen on deaf ears, so I decided to write this review to keep my sanity somewhat intact!!

1 /5 Debra morales: Please start recording your experience at this hospital!!! Like I did. It the only way to advocate for yourself! Sending my videos to every news channel as well as guest relations.... If I could give it zero stars I would! Do not I repeat do not come to the ER at Lincoln hospital. They treat there patients like trash and neglect them. Especially the night staff! I went in for chest problems, eyes and lyphnodes extremely inflamed till the point I was ready to pass out, i had high fever & chills. I begged and begged for motrin for hours just for them to keep telling me there was no doctors on the floor and had to wait to see a Dr to even receive water in which i did not recieve, even after waiting 5hours. Staff were fighting to take my ekg because both wanted to go on break! Till the point I couldnt take it anymore and requested to speak to the head nurse ALEx... and guess what he told me ? There is no doctors available not even to give me motrin or water!!!! (I have video regarding this claim)There was no staff available because they all sit in the triage area and make fun and tease the drunks & junkies in which I have video of that as well... even the EMT join in, spreading everyones business as to why they are there( against hippa) Not to mention Alex the head floor nurse quickly dismissed me when i brong it to his attention. I waited another hour till I had to walk out untreated and go to another hospital to recieve treatment. Best decision I ever made! Come to find out i had strept throat that developed into pneumonia! I was in so much pain and they all watch, Imean all staff watch you suffer. Will never be returning to Lincoln beside to make my complaint to guest relations. They purposely treat there night time patients as such because theres no where to go or anyone to speak to even if you are being neglected! We are so neglected that they never know where they patients are until they realize they left and or walked out like I had to do before I probably would have died!

1 /5 Fatu Kebbeh: If you feeling very ill please don’t bother yourself to go to Lincoln Hospital. I had the worst experience ever. I was very sick and I called 911 cause I couldn’t barely walk or feel my hands. 911 sent me a transportation and took me to Lincoln Hospital and it was my first time there. Once I got to the hospital I couldn’t even walk, they didn’t even care. I was waiting on the line and there was a gentleman before me he asked me if I was okay and I said no. He told the nurses to take care of me and they said they can’t do anything I have to wait. When it was my turn some of the nurses had such a attitude. I was sitting in the waiting room for hours and mind you I couldn’t even sit down. When they called me to the cabin to explain to them what’s wrong with me the lady was very understanding and she said for me to go to the nurses to tell them I’m very sick if they can please help me I went to them and they said YOU GOTTA WAIT! ITS ONLY 4 DOCTORS HERE. I understand that there’s no doctors there but if you see a patient like that you need to try your best for her to be taken care of. My mom came in and she saw I was very sick she went to the nurses and they said they can’t do anything about it and if I wish I can go somewhere else cause it’s a lot of people there. Like are you serious? You gonna look someone dying and you gonna tell that person to find somewhere? I had to call an Uber and go to another hospital and once I got to that hospital they took care of me right away and I’m feeling much better thanks to them. Lincoln hospital it’s the worst ever! It was my first and my last time there.
