Nyu Winthrop Hospital

I have been going to Winthrop for years. Even after moving out East, it's been my go to for emergency care. Unfortunately, this is my third time in the ER this week. Day 1 and day 3 I had Dr. Mintz. Both times, he was so patient, kind and understanding. I truly appreciate his humanity. We need more doctors like him.

I wish I could split this interview into the amount of stars I awarded. If it were for care and the every day staff, I would give 5. This is for my mom, who had a major brain bleed (her 3rd after 2 minor ones) back in October 2025. This was devastating to me as it affected her speech, and her right side was initially paralyzed. 3 neurologists attended to her. While 2 were nice and answered my every question, 1 particular one, who shall remain nameless, said put her in palliative care and make her comfortable as this will continue to happen again. He even had me stopping a procedure to implant a filter in her abdomen for a blood clot in her right calf from being still in bed. He was cold, emotionless, and had zero clue what he was talking about. I never saw a face of stone like that in any medical professional in my entire life. While I initially almost took his advice, family kicked in (I'm an only child, but had cousins and other relatives to lean on) and I had the filter implanted, did not put her in palliative care, and brought her to a rehabilitation facility for 100 days for physical, occupational, and speech therapy. While she is not what she once was, she's making progress daily where she can almost walk on her on, speech is improving, and I have my mom around. It hasn't been an easy 6 months. It's been emotionally and physically draining. But I have my mom around, and not either dead, or lying in some random place rotting away. If I could list his name I would so other families can make their own decision instead of taking this persons advice. I even made it known while she was still in Winthrop that I did not want to have any dealings with him. Once again, the staff is amazing here, just like they were during my moms 2 previous minor brain bleeds. Caring, considerate, and would listen. This doctor, Dr (I wish I could list his name) needs to take course in compassion and analyzation of patients after an incident like this. Mom is doing great, and after missing Thanksgiving and Christmas, it was so nice to have her around for Easter, and home as well.

I had a TEE (transesophageal echocardiogram) done recently, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this team. From the moment I arrived, I was treated like family and felt completely cared for every step of the way. I was understandably nervous, especially since I needed anesthesia, but the entire staff made me feel safe, comfortable, and reassured throughout the whole process. A special thank you to Kathleen Woods, RN, Andrea Occhipinti, RN, Rachelle Lacostern, RN, Keisha Lockwood, and Dr. Anthony Fernandes for their kindness, professionalism, and compassion. Everyone took the time to explain what was happening, answer my questions, and make sure I was comfortable before and after the procedure. Their warmth and attention to detail truly went above and beyond. If you are feeling anxious about having a TEE or any procedure, I highly recommend this incredible team. They are knowledgeable, caring, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel so much easier. Five stars all the way!

My husband just had a procedure done there and the experience was excellent. We were greeted with handshakes from all of the staff involved in his care. The day started at 6am and we left at about 10:45am. Everything was well coordinated with no mishaps in between. The most beautiful gesture happened towards the end of it all. While waiting in the lobby for my husband, the doctor who did the procedure for my husband came down ftrom the second floor to the lobby to share with me that everything went well and that I would be allowed to go up to be with my husband. That was amazing!!

My CQuadrpal Bypass I went in for my surgery at 5 Am. Was prepped and the surgery started at 7 AM. When I awoke it was late in the day I was groggy and had questions. When my eyes opened my Night Nurse Brittany was there. She assured me I was doing well and that I and that I was in very good hands and that I had nothing to worry about. During the course of the evening she proved. It through actions not just words.. I was monitored and any fluctuations triggered an immediate response from my care team. In the morning my surgeon Dr ABROL stopped by to check on me and I met my day nurse Jen. Who went on to explain how good the cardiatric unit at Winthrop was and that I was in good hands. I had zero anxiety. By the end of my second day my pain meds were down to Tylenol and I felt really well. I had 2 Nurse Assistants Monica and Sunar who were my arms and legs. They did everything for me. My team was a well oiled machine. I could not have been In better hands. I was in on FRIDAY out on TUESDAY.. I was able to get out of the car unassisted walk up the driveway and enter the house by myself. I really can’t express happy I was with my out come.
