Syosset Hospital

I am most grateful for all of the staff members I encountered on the day of my surgery. I may not remember every name perfectly, but I want to recognize the nurses, including Wayne, Stacy, and Lisa; the OR staff, including Beth; my anesthesiologist, Dr. Dunst; my CRNA, Aman; my physical therapist, Jaime; my discharge NP, Kathy; and of course, my surgeon, Dr. Steinvurzel, whose meticulous work made this procedure possible. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly welcoming, compassionate, and accommodating, which meant a great deal to me, especially since this was my first time undergoing surgery. The entire team helped make what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more comfortable. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Steinvurzel and the team at Syosset Hospital to anyone in need of a procedure like mine. I am truly grateful for the excellent care I received. I hope I don’t have a reason to see any of these wonderful people again in the same capacity anytime soon; however, if I do, I know I will be in excellent hands.

Emergency room hospital staff was not helpful whatsoever. If you want a hospital that will genuinely only do the bare minimum and not explain any medical results or give you any sort of bedside manner or comfort come to this hospital. The doctor lazily blamed a medical emergency on dehydration despite being told that water had been drank all day. The staff had so much attitude and refused to answer follow up questions and explain results. Everyone was snippy and dismissive. After pricking the patient multiple times in various places and leaving the other failed needles loosely in her body, the night staff nurse, proceeded to tell my friend “wow you have bad veins“ which was extremely disrespectful given the situation (my friend has a history of fainting with needles). The only good thing about this hospital was the security guards who were welcoming and kind.

I have had 2 surgeries in the last 6 months and 3 in the last 2 years at Syosset Hospital, 2 of which required overnight stays. From the moment you pull up in your car until released I can't say enough about the experience. The check-in for both presurgical testing and surgery is smooth, and the nurses are amazing, especially in the pre-surgical station. On 2/27 I was managed by Elissa W and she could not have been more personable and professional. The Anesthesia team is also spot on especially applying the nerve block required for my procedure. The team that handles overnight stays are right on top of everything you need and the food / service is incredible.

After a very long and exhausting experience at another hospital where I waited over four hours to be seen, walking into this hospital was a completely different experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff treated me with kindness, professionalism, and compassion. The waiting time was fair and appropriate, and I truly felt cared for. When I mentioned I was cold, they immediately brought me an extra blanket without hesitation. It may seem like a small gesture, but in that moment it meant everything to me. Every nurse and staff member I interacted with was sweet, attentive, and respectful. They made a stressful situation feel a little less overwhelming. I’m so grateful for the care I received here. Thank you for treating patients with not just efficiency, but genuine humanity.

This hospital has the warmest, kindest, and most professional staff — from the nurses to the surgeons. I had an appendectomy, and I felt very hopeful and supported throughout the whole experience. Thank you all very much, especially the post-operative nurses ❤️❤️
