Suny Upstate Medical University: Duggan David B MD - Syracuse (NY)

Ryan Wright Was my childhood doctor and super nice and knowlegable. Was always a pleasure to deal with. As a parent I am not sure, but since my parents never changed he must have been great.

courtney So Ive been here a few times and every other time I was not treated as well as I was the past 2 days! It all started with the er nurse, melissa. She was completely awesome and never made me feel like a patient and made me feel so comfortable. And then when I went up for my OR prep and had panic attacks, every nurse, I wish i could remember the names of, did such a great job calming me down and making me laugh. Im very pleased with the crew I had taking care of me and if you can figure out who they all were from 9am november 7th to 10:30am November 8th, give them all a prize !

N M Patients were lined up around the wall and it was packed in the ER waiting room. However, that had no effect on the excellent care provided by the nursing staff in the ER. Lily is superb at her job. Mo is amazing. The charge nurse too, though I cant remember her name. I expressed my concern about the delay in seeing my loved one, but she gently explained the difference between patients waiting on one side versus those on another. Under such circumstances, a little understanding and thoughtful explanation go a long way. I am amazed at the work these folks have to do, Day In/Day Out. Most amazing is that they do it with a smile, patience, care, and the utmost competence.

Matthew Ocean I recently ended up going to the ER at 9:30pm on a Thursday night. I was in excruciating abdominal pain, and seen after only waiting a half hour or so. While it took a while to get imaging done, the ER staff were all so kind and helpful. Doing what they could to try and relieve my pain and give me fluids. Once imaging confirmed it was my gallbladder, I was given an anti-inflammatory that helped immensely bring the pain down from a 10 to a 3. After a couple hours I was taken up to my official room and would be having surgery in the afternoon. Nursing staff overnight was so sweet, and checked on me often, but not too often where I couldn’t get some naps in. In the afternoon I was brought down to surgery and spoke with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, nursing staff, ER techs, etc. They explained everything to me and answered any questions I had. Don’t remember a thing after being wheeled into the operating room. When I was brought to my room, once again the nursing staff was so amazing to me, up until my discharge the following day. To summarize. Crouse Hospital and staff really helped me so much in an emergency situation. Everyone from the doctors, nurses, anesthesiologist, ER techs, medical technicians, nursing assistants, to even the sanitation staff and the staff who takes food orders were all seriously so incredibly gentle, caring, and sweet to me. No hyperbole, EVERY medical staff member treated me with the utmost kindness. I hope I don’t have to go to the hospital again anytime soon, but if I’m still in Syracuse, it’s Crouse. Thank you to everyone from the hospital who helped me.

Anne Malvaso Dr. Wasileski always takes extra medical steps to make sure she addresses all my medical issues. I am so grateful to her because she saved me from a heart attack. I had no pain and never had any heart issues but again, Dr. Wasileski went a bit further and from the tests she took, she immediately referred me to a Cardiologist which then resulted in open heart surgery. I have a chronic disease and I always feel so much stronger and better after my visits with her. Such an outstanding Staff and Office workers. I am so grateful Dr. Wasileski is here for our community.

Jonas Steinman Fast in and out. The nurses and staff had AMAZING bedside manner. High props for these gal’s. Stitched me up and had me in stitches!!! Respect for these folks!!!

Mark Huller I went to the Syracuse VA for X-rays on 1/16/2025 and it was a walk in appointment. I was called within minutes of checking in. Dawn, the technician was very professional and knowledgeable. She was very pleasant and friendly and I had a very nice interaction with her. I have always had positive experiences at the Syracuse VA, but Dawn went above and beyond in her duties. She should be recognized and commended for the care i received and Im sure others have had just as positive experiences. Dawn is a good example of how people should be treated and cared for. She is s good role model for others to learn from. Thank you Dawn
