New York Harbor Health Care System

This has to be the best hospital in the V.A. the doctors for the most part are part of NYU hospital, which is top hospital in the USA. Vets. This is the place to trust your health too. I have just read many reviews most good some not so good. It is sad they do not have a reply as I would have liked to have answered the nasty one. I have been going to the VA for over 20 years and NYC VA is the best. Yes there are times you msy have to wait because an illness is worse than patient reported. Guys and girls keep in mind we are getting NYC NYU medical treatment as a thank you for our service. Yes there maybe some small co payment. Ask yourself wh a t would happen to you without the V.A. then one day drop by some of the other VA hospitals go as close as The Bronx or Brooklyn. Go to Long Island beautiful hospital even a golf course however you will not be treated like the NYC doctors or staff. Have to wait go tonthe second floor Cafe. The prices are cheap and relax and say thank you to the doctors and staff.

This is the Room Service menu for people who are staying overnight at the VA Hospital on East 23rd street. You get to choose which different foods and beverages and desserts you want to make up your meal . But if you're on salt restricted or some type of special diet you can only have certain things . For instance, you can't have mashed potatoes on salt restricted diet but you can have rice. And you can have the Apple Crisp dessert or jello but you can't have the pudding I believe, on salt restricted. My roommate is here since 2 days ago and when i got here realized they hadn't taken a shower yet . As soon as I asked the nurse for a towel and change of pajamas and soap and toothpaste and toothbrush I was given a bunch of stuff promptly, (see pic) They gave 2 bottles of shampoo and body wash and lotion too. A towel, pajamas, toothpaste, toothbrush, earbuds, stress ball, eye mask were also given . But be aware, you may have to ask for these things . Be proactive. I don't know if it's just brought over if you don't ask. All the nurses were helpful and nice though. Feel like there aren't as many staff on weekends though. Also, you can call on your own phone to order the food, so bring your cell phone and a charger. The food is brought up within 45 minutes.
