North Shore Lij Medical

I had to visit the ER a few times, once was a critical issue and the others were minor, but urgent issue. Each time I was treated professionally, they took the time to explain the situation and ensured I understood my post care steps even while other patients were being unruly and disrespectful to them. It can’t be an easy job.

My Mom had a wonderful experience at Stony Brook Eastern Long Island hospital! The care she received was exceptional! We were so impressed with how quick the response time was by the staff when the call button was pushed. The staff at every level was kind, caring, patient and professional. They went out of their way to make my Mom’s extended visit comfortable. Mom appreciated some of the staff’s humor and detailed explanations. My mother is legally blind and the staff went out of their way to help guide her with meals and walks with lots of detailed verbal cues. As you can see, Mom made the best of her stay ringing in the New year on 2North. Some of the staff that we would like to give a shout out to but not limited to are: Andrew RN Rose-RN Jen-Clerk Alicia-PA Sue-nurse Lori-Nurse Mary Ann Pedro-Aide Stacey-Case Worker Mom and I are grateful for her care and speedy recovery and wish everyone a happy and HEALTHY New Year!

This is such an awesome hospital. I was there from 11/27 - 12/8/2023. I had been transferred by ambulance over to this hospital after spending a night in CPEP on 11/26 at the main Stonybrook hospital. The staff in 2 South are very nice, friendly, caring and helpful. They listened and cared for me when something was bothering me and they also accepted my special accommodations as well. The meals were very good including their pancakes, scrambled eggs, fish, meat and even their homemade personal pizzas. The snacks were very good as well. The recreation and therapy groups were very good as well. Thank goodness for the existence of psychiatric inpatient units as they take care of our mental health issues. I highly recommend this place for patient health care and others.

Very unfriendly staff and PA did not listen to me and was disrespectful to me and kept saying "you are young stop worrying" despite all the medical emergencies I can possibly have. I felt like I was not being listened too, especially when I asked about long covid. I left here still in pain without a diagnosis. I later found out I had Rocky Mountain Fever and they did not check me for this here. The emergency call button (pictured before and after I asked them) is supposed to be on the bed, but was not. I asked the nurse if it is supposed to be on the bed she told me "yes but I was not here before when you got in the hospital, I just got here". They fixed it after I questioned them. Very dissatisfied.

This is not about the facility as I’ve never been there. I’m far from there. This is about the person who took my call named Tammy. She is amazing. She went out of her way to help me even though Im Traveling through the area and am not a patient there. The world needs more nice people like Tammy!! Thank you!
