Long Island Jewish Forest Hills's Online Review Report Card

We arrived at hospital on Tuesday at noon, soon as we walked in we were send on third floor in labor and delivery department. I checked in and 15 min later I was sent in delivery room. There I spent next 8 hours where I was given fluids and I was hooked on a monitor. My first delivery nurse was Cheryl. She was very sweet and attentive. Shift ended at 7pm and the new crew came to the floor. I was fortunate to have Latoya as my nurse during my labor. She was very supportive and professional. When I was getting my epidural I was in a lot of pain and she was there to comfort me. She was checking on me during the night till 7am when shift ended and new crew came along. I feel bad she didn’t get to see my baby boy. Once the new crew came I was getting prepared to deliver. Delivery started around 7:30 and my baby boy was there in 8:07. There were couple of nurses and the doctor there encouraging me during delivery. (I’m sorry I don’t remember anybody’s name, but everyone was super professional and supportive and helpful) Delivery doctor was a true professional and made me feel comfortable and safe. Soon as I deliver my baby boy they wiped him and put him on my chest for an hour or so. After that he was taken for measurements and I was prepared for postpartum wing. Three of us got to our room , it was only us in there and was pretty cozy and comfortable. We met with our nurse Brenda Wilson and she was with us most of the time being there , Brenda was a shining star of the hospital , so professional , informative, comforting, caring ,helpful and loving ! (Thank you Brenda ♥️) We also met with our lactation consultant Lorraine , and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in her field , made us feel so safe and confident. I don’t know any names in a housekeeping department but they all where loving and caring , we had celebratory dinner and it was delicious, thanks again to kitchen stuff , Thursday after noon we where discharged , Brenda was with us till we reached our car to make sure we got out ok. Over all experience was a great one and we are definitely coming back if we get lucky again 😊. THANK YOU ALL !

MY LABOR AND DELIVERY WAS A TRAUMATIZING NIGHTMARE! - Before delivery: 1am: I went directly to the maternity ward as I was already 5 days over my due date and my blood pressure was high. The staff explained all the procedures that I was going to undergo and they made me feel safe. They decided to induce me because I wasn’t dilating. Everything seemed normal, there was one nurse that held me while I was getting my epidural and was wonder. 7pm: After shift change, I noticed my nurse was less attentive. My pain button wasn’t working and I couldn’t reach the help button or my phone because I couldn’t move my legs, at this moment I also felt wet and I believed I was going into labor, finally my nurse came in and I told her what was happening, It turned out my baby had pooped inside of me, by this time I was at 8 centimeters, a PA came in checked me out then told I was almost ready to give birth. At this time I believed I was in good hands and I was getting ready to give birth naturally, mainly because I didn’t notice any sense of urgency from the staff. -Delivery time: About 30 min later, one of the nurses comes in with a worried look in her face and mentions that she couldn’t get the baby’s heart rate. 5 minute later a doctor comes in my room with an entire team of nurses and an angry look in her face as if someone messed up and told me they were performing an emergency C-Section. They all began to disconnect me from all machines and rushed me to the delivery room. At this time they also rushed my boyfriend to change into surgical attire. I was then taken to another room, undressed completely and tossed onto a table. I couldn’t see anything that was being done to me because they put a huge cloth blocking me from seeing anything from the neck down. The only person I was able to see was the anesthesiologist, who I kept telling that I was having cardiac arrest symptoms. He completely ignored me. This procedure took minutes, but it felt like hours, I could hear what was going on, but had no idea what was happening. I heard a faint cry, but I couldn’t tell if it was my baby or another from the baby ward. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy yet it would be hours before they even showed me his face. At this point I didn’t know if he was alive because no one told me what was going on, they didn’t even allow my boyfriend in the delivery room. I was ignored and feeling completely helpless, heartbroken and all I could do was cry. -After delivery: After they had stitched me up and cleaned me up I was taken to some sort of waiting area and that’s when I finally got to see my boyfriend, he was the one that told me that our baby was fine and that he saw him briefly, like me he was also kept in the dark and had no idea what was happening. A few minutes after a nurse brought over my baby, I wanted to hold him so bad, but I was afraid to as I could hardly move do to all the drugs I was given. A few hours passed, then someone came and moved me to another room which was under labor and delivery. When I woke up I felt hot, extremely thirsty, and couldn’t move. I begged the night nurse for water and she said I couldn’t have any, told her I felt hot, she said if was due to the meds I was getting. My boyfriend checked the air conditioning the next day and noticed it was blowing hot air, fyi there was also a heat wave happening. I was kept in that same dark dinghy room, without food, same bloody sheets for two days before a good and kind hearted postpartum nurse(RN Gray) and her supervisor took notice, pulled out and put me in one of those nice rooms that they advertise. I later found out that I had extreme preeclampsia the whole time and I wasn’t supposed to be in the labor and delivery area longer than 24hrs. The only reason I chose this hospital was because of my OBGYN, Dr. Maya Munarova, who in the end never perform my delivery. I had 9 stitches and they sent me home with Motrin for the pain. This was my first delivery and i still cry telling my story but I felt strong responsibility to warn other mothers.

Why are your annoy ambulances always making unnecessary siren noises on yellowstone? I bet these drivers are just having fun without any patience on board.

I was there after fiercely avoiding to go to ER more than 2 decades. I see many hard working medical professionals there and I appreciate their work. One interesting incident though, I was asked to change a hospital gown at the hallway where open curtains. I asked a man who starring me to take me to somewhere more private to change which he did thank god. I even learned that there was an appropriate changing room which they didn’t bother to tell me unless I asked to. So be aware the not-so-regular-ER-visitors especially if you are Asian, you should ask more help and more appropriate treatment in the ER because they may not inform you unless you demand it.

Why do the some doctors always have an attitude? Horrible

Worst hospital…worst services…worst nurses…rude doctors and like wise nurses in emergency department.They make us wait for hours(5-6hr minimum) and when the doctors unfortunately came to see us ,they will just u check for a minute .They never prescribe any medicine rather u are in pain and asking for it.I would never like to go there👎🏻 and also not recommend to anyone else🙃💔
