For anyone out there that wants to utilize a near by hospital for the convenience to their family and themselves, I am giving you my opinion on this hospital. I was told 4 months ago by everyone I know to go the HSS or NYU in the city for my first hip replacement. Knowing I needed both hips done at 52 years old I decided to chose a local place to take the burden off my family and friends to drive me to the city. First I found Dr. Robert borzio. I felt very confident and comfortable with him and booked my first hip replacement 4 months ago. I had my surgery in July. Dr borzio did an amazing job. Un fortunately I put a large burden on my other hip during my post op and here I am back in Bayshore medical hospital one day post op with my second new hip! I feel amazing AGAIN! From the second I came to this hospital I was impressed with the cleanliness, staff attention and convenience. Pre op testing was fast and no non sense. I was prepped pre op by the most efficient staff including nurses and ancillary staff. I was an operating room nurse years ago and was impressed by the OR when I was wheeled in. I looked around the room for any breaks in sterility and saw each staff member doing a wonderful preparation to implant my new hip. Both anesthesiologists were professional, caring and gave me spinal blocks, which I was petrified of having!! With minimal discomfort and great post op results. I was taken to 2 west wing to stay overnight yesterday. Again I have nothing but positives to say about the nurses, aides and all ancillary staff. To name a few people which does not include all because I can t remember that many names were Sona, Andrea, Jessie and Reggie . They were so pleasant, caring and came immediately when called. I never care enough to write reviews but after speaking to Mark Morrison, patient advocate, I decided to write this review to help anyone that needs or wants a local hospital, decide on choosing the convenience of Bayshore medical. I would and do appreciate others taking the time to write about their experiences in life to help me either chose a place or stay far away from it!!
I hope this helps others to make good decisions when choosing their health care facility. Joanne L
