This place is terribleMy experience during my stay at New York Presbyterian is not the best. I have decided to give NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Westchester Division Westchester Behavorial Center a review on Google for many reasons. Of all the departments in association with my care; the Department(s) of Psychiatry, in academic affiliation with Weill Cornell and Columbia University is terrible. They do not respect my word and directive regardless of presentation, in written or spoken format.The facility and associated management by auxiliary staff is top-notch, for sure. There are State of the Art systems of security which is really cool. The janitorial staff do an amazing job with sanitation and disinfecting ; I’m glad the Unit is kept clean. There are also iPads available for patients.The nurses of the Nurse’s station are pleasant and very helpful. I know I can count on them to help me when I need things for personal grooming, and they also routinely scan my blood pressure and other vitals. The nurses also serve as primary points of contact for general questions and concerns.However, the members of the Department of Psychiatry are terrible. I do not want to meet with them. I want to be discharged. I am being neglected and ignored and when they huddle in front of my assigned room door, the Doctors and the social worker, her name is /ka-Â/ do not listen to me and do not respect my word. It’s as if Iam simply a dog or child to them, incapable of logical reasoning.They also purposefully present who I am as an inferior element of my hospitalization. They have changed my status unrightfully and in rights infringements have presented half/incomplete truths to the Supreme Court Justice.I will provide images of my Discharge Request letter and Discharge Plan, requirements for patient discharge according to state and federal public policies.I would not recommend New York Presbyterian Hospital to other people I know.Update: [ 08/09/2021 ]Previously, I was very unsatisfied with my care here. What I believe I need from staff I have finally received after posting this review before the update. What I have now, honoring of my side of the conversation in our meeting. Now they are helping me verbatim to my request and I am pleased. Apart of verbatim care, what I thought was “outpatient service referrals” (you know, for me being discharged and the social workers checking in to make sure the nonprofit or other agency is doing their job; as a term) does not have the same connotations as a “person who was discharged” aka “an outpatient” and support channels they receive as a person outside of the hospital.I’m glad after this review on Google Maps and working with the Patient Services Administrators; I can receive the respect from individual care team members in our conversations. I will let them know that I want to be discharged to the care of myself, basically “released” and not transferred somewhere else from here. I will stay at a shelter appropriate to my demographics.I was previously concerned about being funneled from one program to another, however I know now that everyone is just doing their best and what I know and mean versus what is commonly understood may not always be the case so I will proceed with special emphasis on communicating what I mean effectively.I was working with The Door NYC previously, I’ll continue working with them, The Ali Forney Center and the Coalition for the Homeless to get back on track and stay off the streets!D’Amonte BrownUpdate [ 08/13/2021 ]This is definitely a world-class hospital. The treatment is fair and the people who work here do the best that they can, granted circumstances and variables that are not “fixed” concerning inpatients and their responses to the practice of Medicine, here at the hospital. As I am being discharged today; my overall review is nonetheless a 5; as doctors are understanding and nurses are exceptional; therapists are most definitely capable at being the best in their activities and do so wonderfully!***
