The women's health of this hospital is excellent. From the moment of pregnancy confirmation to the moment of delivery, everything was amazing, prompt, tactful and caring. So was the delivery day in December 2025. The hospital supports the natural delivery and does not offer unnecessary medical interventions. During pregnancy, I needed additional consultations with highly specialized doctors, both for me and for the baby - the hospital team helped me with this very well. Special thanks to my doctors Lisa Yanowitz, Cynthia Rodriguez and the entire team of obstetricians. The baby and I also continue to be monitored in pediatrics here.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely professional and incredibly kind. I am deeply grateful to the entire hospital staff. From the very beginning, we received exceptional care, compassion, and respect. Every member of the team demonstrated a strong commitment to the well-being of both patients and their families, providing support, comfort, and reassurance throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, dedication, and genuine kindness made a tremendous difference for us. Thank you to everyone for the outstanding care and attention we received. I highly recommend this hospital with complete confidence.

This place is good for serving as a one stop shop for lots of different medical services. The police officers who search you are very nice. Unfortunately the receptionist in the OPD Building 7 South (this is the 7th floor which isn’t obvious when you’re trying to find your doctor in the huge maze of the building) is the most unprofessional individual I’ve encountered in my entire life. No exaggeration. She seemed to be respectful to the Spanish speaking clientele but spoke to me as if she were talking to a dog. Barked orders at me as if she were a police officer making an arrest. When I finally told her she didn’t need to be so rude and that I was only following the online instructions (which were to simply scan the QR code for your appointment), she made me go through the whole procedure again, and told me off like she was disciplining a child. She ordered me to stand before her and wanted to know why I had sat down (even though everyone else was seated). I was on the verge of tears by the time I saw the doctor. And my blood pressure and heart rate were unusually elevated due to that encounter. Luckily the doctor and nurse were wonderful. But I’d be hesitant to go through this again. There’s just no reason to have a bully in the receptionist role.

I was recently admitted to Metropolitan Hospital and wanted to express my gratitude to the care I received. The doctors, nurses, and support staff were professional, attentive, and kind throughout my stay. Dr. Kannan took the time to explain my treatment clearly, and the nursing team checked on me regularly and made sure I am comfortable. The facility was clean and organized. Thanks to Miguel for maintaining my room cleaned. I felt safe and well cared for during a difficult time. Thank you everyone at Metropolitan Hospital for your dedication.
