Completely agree.

I've been to Englewood for a procedure. Had a cancer scare. And my specialist was affiliated with them. My experience at the hospital was very good. Day of procedure I had a personal escort guide me through the process from start to finish. Currently had some chest pain and my specialist is affiliated with Hackensack. My tests are a week away. Although it is not at the medical center. But have had family members who have been treated there. And it's great. My only negative is that the computer system that they use for scheduling and basic info seems to have issues every time I've had to interact with them.

That’s what happens when you plan a city so that it is filled with luxury rentals that families can’t afford to live in for more than a few years. Little long term investment or concern with the community and the people who’d like to stay and be involved will eventually get priced out.

At her income level, her appearance is a choice.

Absolutely this. People should be saying it to her face considering she still has the balls to show up to community events.

Don't compare this guy to Krillin. Krillin is a decent family man.

When people like her suffer no real consequences for her actions it’s all we have.

Getting daddy’s diseases quite young. Dads got that swollen pelican neck going on.

That's so cool, I'll definitely look into them

So think like someone sending an Uber for you. It's complementary, even if you just need to go there for a test. They will ask if you need to be picked up.

I have already been there, my family has been in Jersey city for almost 40 years. I wanted to hear other opinions and I am sure reddit is the platform for that. Why are you so grumpy?

Areas not bad, room for improvement though. It seems to be changing. Park is nice

People who are thinking of investing in property and go "oh strangers on the internet will help me with this multiple hundreds of thousands investment" legitimately baffle me.

And the thing is it has to work sometimes otherwise people would stop doing it. Drives me nuts.

43,000 per month means the average adult calls 911 once every 5 months? That's not totally crazy, but seems like a lot?

It's suitable for most stuff but I don't think I'd recommend anything in JC area if I had a serious need for interventional care. My dad was in rough shape and was at both hospitals at some point before he passed last year, but I felt JCMC was 100x better from my perspective and my dad seemed to be in good hands (he was just too sick to come back from his overall situation)... I know people who work there as well, but that's besides the point.

I would still recommend Hackensack based on having a lot of in-law family who are up in years and most of them have been trying to go there whenever they need a procedure or such. I realize that even "great" hospitals can fail in certain areas or for certain complicated things... I have a close friend with a rare genetic condition and Columbia and NYU Langone both failed her terribly and she's back down at Hopkins for her care now. It's possible the care she got in NYC actually contributed to how much surgery she needs now. So I 100% understand the concerns you have and why you are asking for more recent validation.

You are welcome to DM if you have any specific concerns and I can try to offer more specific information...

This is so wrong on so many levels. There are plenty of ER rooms out there that have competent enough leadership who is able to create a reasonable triage process so that all emergencies dying or otherwise are taken care of appropriately. To leave anyone sitting in a waiting room for 5 hrs without treatment is pure negligence. And blaming bad reviews on people just not liking ERs is lazy.

To be fair emergencies take many different forms. Like for example I had 2 bad infections one time when I went to the hospital and I barley had much pain & no fever, so I was treated as I was fine but after tests were done the doctors were freaked out lol. So the er should try their best to treat everyone accordingly if possible but we dont live in perfect world I guess.

But I agree no one wants to deal with the er unless they have to. Unless they are hobos for some reasons lol

Same type of people who turned Bushwick into "East Williamsburg" in Brooklyn.

That’s exactly how it works.

Sounds so bad. I'm sorry you had that experience. It's kind of hard expect a super fast hospital experience since it is er but they should be checking in here and there.

I'd love to go to a hospital in NY but my insurance would not allow that sadly and I've never been to JCMC but sounds like maybe the doctors aren't great there as far as what I heard. I been to christ the most here and the experience is similar but the doctors & nurses are very nice there, which I'd just keep going there but it's way too overcrowded which makes me very nervous while being immune compromised.

I never heard of these hospitals before I'll look into them Also what do you mean by pick you up & drop you off? Like a ambulance thing or while ur in the hospital?

Thank you for Sharing btw :)

I actually have been going to christ most. I went there not too long ago and I was put in the hallway with other patients then was told I was being moved to a room closer to the nurses which was so crowded the nurses was trying to squeeze through beds lol the doctors and nurses were very nice but the wait was 2 ish 3ish hrs in the waiting room. So I've just been going to that one just assuming all hospitals are just like that rn but I'm not sure lol

Have you by any chance went to these hospitals in recent years? I'm sorry if that's a intrusive question but I heard hospitals can vary year to year so. I seen so many comments saying JCMC isnt great (not just talking about my post) but I've also seen people say it's good too I just dont know when they went there last to really say that.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Edit: and since you live here - why don’t you do the research yourself? Take a walk to the part of town, check the listings - it’s not like they are private.
