Kings County Hospital

Broken clavicle, head trauma, and abrasions after a serious bike crash.
Arrived, x-​rayed, transferred. Waited for two hours to see a doctor while in excruciating pain. They knew I had a broken collarbone and left me without a sling, then proceeded to treat me like an insane person for crying out repeatedly. I had to yell to a nurse, who initially ignored me, then asked «what was wrong with me», before bringing any pain medication for my broken collarbone and head trauma. Apparently I was taken «off the board», whatever that means, and had been completely forgotten about while sitting in the middle of the room. A completely unreal experience that I hope to never repeat.
Sent me to a pharmacy that was closed by the time they discharged me. Had to fight my way back in with the front desk to see a doctor and change it to one that was open.
Oh, and they sent me home without bandaging my abrasions from the crash.
Can’t wait to see the bill. But this is the last place on earth I’m having the surgery.

Very unprofessional environment. Clerk was falling asleep while doing the registration as people entered the ER. My grandma was not allowed to be accompanied by her family to enter the Triage area. The nurse said it in a very unprofessional manner even after I reiterated that she was visiting for the first time and that she does not speak english. She replied abruptly that there will be a translator. After asking around i found that all I needed was a visitor pass to enter the ER with her. The staff was extremely rude. We stayed in the ER for the entire day and the doctors barely came in the room to update us. I would not recommend this horrible hospital.

The nurses in the ER are rude! They’ve got the doctors shook and they don’t want to ask for their assistance. I only go to their ER because I’m a block away and unable to get myself to another hospital. Asked the nurse to provide me with some ice so I could take some medicine (which I realized the initial bottle I was provided with was expired and she refused to get up and get me another bottle) I needed for a CT scan and she just pointed out the machine which was around the corner and told me to get it myself. She claimed they were SOOO busy but she was either in her chair gossiping with others or walking around in slow motion with her arms folded. The rest rooms in the ER are never cleaned properly. Hospital police is useless with unruly patients since they can’t touch the patients and only rile them up and they become more rowdy. If you can help it, go to another ER!

I was there last Friday to take my tooth out
Did not see nothing wrong with the stuff
We all need a little patience

This is the worst fucking hospital i ever been to… waiting for 12rs… waiting for my fiancé to see a doctor worst, I repeat won’t hospital ever… please don’t go there…

Horrible Service. Horrible Staff. Unsanitary bathrooms. Long wait. 5 hours just to be seen 5 min and sent home!!! Ended up going to a diff hospital Less than 24 hrs later to get the much needed help for my family member. Will never go back!

I went here to have a dental extraction done. I waited three hours to be seen, the receptionists were rude and the doctors, I can’t even say. The dentist who saw me was rude. He didn’t have an assistant to help him with the extraction. He hurt my cheek with the wooden thing they use to hold your cheek. He couldn’t finish the extraction and someone else came and took over. The doctor who took over was so rough. He finally drilled the tooth and got it out, since I had a post and core when he pulled out the screw he scratched my chin. They didn’t give me anything afterwards just a gauze and vain directions. Two days later I got an infection so bad I had to see another dentist whom I had to pay $ 300 dollars to so I could have my infection take care of. Te been five days and I still feel like the first day I had my tooth pulled out. If I would have read all these reviews before I went there I could have saved myself this headache. Please don’t go to that hospital !

I don’t know why this hospital got such bad reviews, my son was hit by a car and this hospital did a great job talking care of him. Ultrasound and mri was done immediately they stiched his wound right after, an hour later he got a room, amazing! Maybe it was just my luck but I gotta say this had to be my best experience at a hospital, though I rather have none. only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is because they dragged their feet getting the release papers when we took him home.

The wait time is ridiculous. Waited 3 hours for a 5 minute procedure at Women’s Health services and I couldn’t even get it done on top of all of that. Next appt is almost 2 months time. STOP WASTING PEOPLE’S TIME. I’ll be looking for a new place. ASAP.

The doctors are trying they’re best but they’re definitely under staffed. There’s too much gossiping going on amongst the staff, in front of patients. The nurses are 70% amazing and overworked and 30% useless and not very friendly. Avoid this hospital.

This facility has been caring for my critically ill nephew that was on his bicycle and hit by two cars during a hit and run. Sean has been in ICU and on a ventilator since October 21^st; today will be day 14 on a ventilator. The care he has been receiving is exceptional. The first miracle is they kept him alive and the second miracle relates to the small and daily improvements, thanks to the nurses and medical staff. Sean is a fighter and the team of doctors and nurses have not given up on him or our family. We don’t feel like a number — we feel we are getting individualized care that matters. In fact, I am a nurse and Director of Quality at a hospital in Florida and my job is to assess and manage the quality of care patients are receiving. No hospital is perfect and are only as good as their weakest link but Kings County Hospital is proving to be an exceptional facility. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Other than ER … Don’t come to their clinics … They never have appointments available for anything … U cannot check in early because it is always so busy and overcrowded with people … Wtf they leaving people for dead

This is a very terrible hospital. Since last year, I’ve been waiting for them to correct the mistakes they made on my medical records (inaccurate information). I filled out the amendment forms in May 2014, but this is August 2015. They didn’t even have the courtesy to give me an explanation. So I went there today and I was told that the doctor did not respond. They also cancelled my request to get more medical records. Someone let me fill out another request, but I’m not holding my breath. I am so angry. This is not a good hospital. I can’t recommend KCH to anyone. Absolutely not!
This is now April 2016. I still haven’t heard from them, so I called and I got rude employees. No apologies and no reasonable explanations. We argued on the phone. Basically, they’re a nightmare!

Absolutely the worst.
I came to ER with a rash. I was all red and it was hard to breath. They left me alone in the room for 1,5 hours! I could have died! 8 hours later they came in and said «we don’t know what caused it, so here is your prescription «. They didn’t perform any medical procedures for me, no injections or anything.
There was a crying woman asking for help next to my room. She wasn’t able to move herself. I came up to the nurse and said that that woman asks for help. And the nurse said «mind your own business «
PLEASE DONT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL

This Hospital is Horrible, The Staff minus one or two nurse are, HORRIBLE people, Cold, Rude and uncaring people, judgemental and racist, if youre not of west Indian descent, forget about getting any compassion or help … This hospital is the absolute Worst !!!

I can never understand the slowness of this sucky pharmacy. How is it in this day and age it still takes almost 4 hours to fill a damn prescription I will never know. Do better Kings County because this is so ridiculous. I literally have to cancel my entire day just to be here. I can’t

It breaks my heart that I have to give a 1 star review to a hospital! A hospital. It was so painful that I wasn’t even planning on writing a review. However as I’m cleaning up my Unilocal page and posting my other reviews I stumbled across KCH again, read some of the highlights and I concur with each one and felt a sense of obligation to add my voice.
I saw nothing wrong with the space, in fact I thought it well laid out but… THE STAFF!
From my initial interaction I sensed a coldness, a vibe as if I was a great disturbance to the receptionist who was chatting with someone. We all chat on the job (no one more than I) but shouldn’t work come first? Is it too much to ask to spare a bit of professionalism and empathy for your sick patients?
When I finally got to where I needed to be I approached the clerk at a desk, mind you while there were patients seated THERE WAS NO ONE STANDING AT THE DESK.
I was firmly told to remove myself until she was finished with another patient. She stirred up the fighter in me because I like to think of myself as a major in the customer service field. And unless I needed better frames she wasn’t attending to anyone.
When she was ready she called me back to HER desk by banging on it to get my attention and proceeded to berate me as if I had stolen all the hospital’s narcotics and was selling it out of my home.
She was plain insensitive, wicked, crass with a false sense of superiority as she held the appointment book with the next available appointment in March.
I was so happy that I wasn’t ill and this was more of a checkup than anything else.
Faired skinned lady, with the mask over your mouth, I pray you never get sick and have to be attended to by someone with your attitude. I honestly do.
I silently said a prayer for the sisters I met and left sitting there all subdued as I walked out of this «lady’s» home. I wish I could have taken everyone with me.
Namaste.

Worst hospital I’ve ever been to. I fell off my bike and smashed my teeth in. I broke some bones in my mouth but didn’t find out until I went to my own dentist the next day. They didn’t xray my mouth or the wrist I fell on. They xrayed my chest, something I didn’t even land on.
I have asthma and I let them know I was having trouble breathing. They didnt seem to care. I was in the waiting room and began to have a panic attack and they finally took me in a room to get oxygen. After I calmed down one of the staff members made fun of my crying right in front of me with another worker. They did absolutely nothing for me. It was a complete waste. It would have been better if I just went straight home after the accident. They didn’t give a shit about my well being. I’m sure the chest xray was just to milk some money from my insurance.
Do not go here, please. You deserve better.

Stay away from this hospital I came to the er for a infection in my cut, they mad me wait 10 hours to give me a prescription ! Got the prescription took it an had a allergic reaction to it! Which left my face, neck and arms with hives most embarrassing thing ever!!! These mf are untrain doctors that don’t know what the fuk they are doing stay away!!!

My girlfriend spent 6 days here. There is a dangerous lack of communication between staff here. From department to department and shift to shift, it seems that no one talks to each other. Some serious errors would have been made if I wasn’t paying close attention to her treatment.
They ordered a lot of tests, x-​rays, and cat-​scans that were seemingly unrelated to her injury. We suspect they were just running up the insurance company’s bill.
The staff here is either really nice or the most miserable human beings on the face of the planet. A nurse yelled at my girlfriend for being high maintenance because she asked for a drink of water. She came back an hour and a half later with the water.
Everything here is slllllooooooowwwww. Someone who works here said the hospital runs on Caribbean time.
The nurse call buttons were broken. We reported the problem on a daily basis. No attempt was ever made to fix it. God forbid there was ever an emergency.
My girlfriend was told that she had to spend an extra day unnecessarily because the department in charge of discharge is closed on Sundays. WTF?
The food is disgusting. Beyond horrible.
The hospital itself is generally pretty dirty.
