There is a reason this hospital is ranked among the highest in the country - they are a class operation.
Generally a very nice hospital. Modern facilities. Good staff. I only had once situation with a new nurse who really needed to work on her bedside manner and professionalism but after I complained and got THAT taken care of, I have to say that all else went well. The surgeon himself and the residents visited several times a day, which was reassuring.
Overall great, could have been cleaner in the sense of having the floors sweeped twice and three times a day. Once someone came to take blood or the other they would drop things on the floor and it would stay there until the next day, when they officially cleaned the floors
When I had an emergency in my bed involving swollowing vomit and not being able to talk, I pressed the emergency call button and when they came on the speaker, they asked what was wrong and I couldn't answer. Because I couldn't answer, she hung up and never summoned a nurse to the room. I could have died in my bed if I didn't force myself to talk the second time I called the nurse.
From the time of admission, to surgery and post-op, everything went like a fine tuned machine. I can't speak highly enough of everyone at that hospital, from the caring responsive nurses, support personnel, and of course, the unbelievable medical staff associated with Dr. Gagner. Everyone was so accomodating, kind, gentle, and genuinely concerned about my comfort. I can't speak highly enough about this hospital.
I had ni issues with my care at NY Presyterian. I had to return to the hospital after surgery because they thought I had a blood clot and addressed the issues immediately.
Cornell is a very efficient organization. The staff was knowledgable and compassionate. I was very pleased.
