North Shore University Hospital - Manhasset (COE) Hospital

Very organized and efficient. Staff was wonderful before, during, and after the surgery. I had a beautiful room. Everything went very smoothly.

No respect for sleep , the 1st night your right in front of nurses station and they talk all night, in front of me, near my bed, people yell across floor, there were men workers laughing i prob feel alseep by 3 a.m.! I can tell you about all their lives they talked so much, but i'm the stupid one i never complained!

The service I recevied at this hospital was excellent. Every staff member that I came in contact with made me feel that they were there just to help me.

this hospital has atleast 4 surgeons that do WLS 3 times a week. They should have a couple of rooms for bariatric patient. If you need a wheelchair on the dpearture date make sure you call 3 hours before. Also if you have to make potty make sure you keep calling. The night staff was great and some of the day staff (lilly was great) was less to be desired. To make your spouse pay for parking when they are paying thousands in hospital stay is stupid.

I have been told so many times about the overworked staff of the North Shore Hospital. The suggestion of getting a private nurse was even put out there. Well, either many people were wrong, the hospital got better, or I had such a low anticipation of what to expect, but I thought the staff was FANTASIC !!!!

I really enjoyed my stay at North Shore. It would have been even better if I did not have the roomate who was very inconsiderate, and did not respect others

THE HOSPITAL IS UNDERSTAFFED...ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT!! I was on 2 Cohen (not the bariatric floor) and when the morning shift comes in they have a parade past all the patient's rooms with absolutely NO REGARD for the fact that you are trying to sleep. They are loud, unprofessional and really rude people. They yell up and down the corridors and when you ring for help they yell thru the microphone. The Nursing Assistants are so overworked that they get nasty if you ask them for something and the cleanliness of the room left a lot to be desired. As far as the surgery itself, I felt my surgeon and the operating room staff as well as the nursing staff in the recovery room where I spent nearly 36 hours due to complications were AWESOME.

The Dr's and nurses where great it was the lack of PCA's on the floor I was on that caused a problem for me. There was one point a which I had to wait for 50 min to use the restroom. But other than that all went well.

I recommend NSUH highly. I was impressed they had high end bariatric beds which allowed you to go from a reclining postion to a seat position so you get out of the bed with minimal strain. Although not a drawback, but the nurses had to regulate the bed so they knew when you were up and about, or in the bathroom. Each time you got up they made sure the bed was tidy and clean before you went back into it. The nurses were awesome both day and nite!!!!! Only complaint I have was with the food the low sodium broth made me swell and feel sick. I had complications and had the best treatment from all involved in my care. NSUH is and will stay #1 on my list of hospitals

I feel that private room facilities should be availible for wls surgery patients by request.You only have 1 bathroom and that can be a challenge when patients are given medication /fluids ..sometimes at the same time.
