Heidi P was honestly the sweetest nurse there and made such a big difference in my experience. She took really good care of me, checked in often, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. She was patient, kind, and had such a calming attitude, which really helped and made me feel at ease. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and takes her job seriously. Some of the other nurses seemed a bit tired or had an attitude at times, but that’s understandable since healthcare workers work long, exhausting hours. Even with that, Heidi stood out because of how warm and attentive she was from start to finish. I truly appreciated her care and kindness, and she made the experience much better than I expected.

Beware of Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital, as it is a breeding ground for malpractice. I don't even know where to begin, so let's start with the emergency room supervising physician for that day, Dr. Magdalena Filardo, who is incompetent, condescending, rude, and dismissive. I came in with symptoms that could be heart-related, but she was not going to order an EKG; however, I insisted that she do one. Additionally, she failed to order other necessary tests and never followed up properly with me. When the technician came to take me for an X-ray, he told me I had to walk—mind you, I was dizzy and in pain. The correct protocol is for them to send someone to transport you in your bed or provide a wheelchair. I know my rights, so I waited for the wheelchair. Then there was a woman in another bed screaming loudly for about 15-20 minutes, and no one bothered to offer her assistance—some staff act like they are in their own world. Finally, when they discharged me, they mixed another patient's confidential paperwork with mine—a violation of patient privacy. In light of these numerous concerns, I would never recommend this hospital to others. The standard of care is subpar, and staff conduct reflects a concerning level of negligence.
