A very Courteous friendly respectful and welcoming environment,the staff is very caring and professional,thank you all for your service we appreciate you.
I was not allowed to go back in ER with my husband who was in a lot of pain and wanted me back with him.
He did say the doctor was good though. And sent him to family clinic which was great!
Disturbing Lack of Professionalism and Accountability
My experience at Montefiore Mount Vernon Hospital was absolutely unacceptable. The social worker, Afia Adigyaa, was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional, showing zero concern for patient welfare. Her supervisor, Luckdjyne Neas, made matters worse by ignoring multiple calls and emails when I tried to resolve serious discharge issues.
They even blamed the patient for leaving medication behind, when it was clearly the hospital staff’s responsibility to ensure all prescriptions were provided at discharge. This level of negligence and disregard for patient safety is alarming. The social worker /Discharge department urgently needs retraining and oversight — no family should ever have to experience this kind of mistreatment or incompetence.
