great hospital and nurse

by Kevin81ny at Citysearch

I had the opposite experience with Mrs. Lila Shams Rn She is a great nurse she made the whole experience at Mamio great. She was very caring She was there for me all the way. She was the only one who came and cleaned me and offered me the bedpan where some nurses were too proud to do it She is a hard worker she went out of her to be there for me and put a smile on my face daily I wonder if there are two Lila Shams working there because my Lila was great

AVOID this Hospital and Nurse!!

by Cherry419 at Citysearch

I couldnt agree more with the other person, some of the nurses are heaven sent and wonderful...others are just HORRIBLE!! There's one in particular, Lila Shams- steer clear of this nurse, shes the nastiest, most arrogant person I think I've ever come across in my life!! Shes in the wrong field, to be helping people is not her strong point!

Heart breaking!

by scopy at Citysearch

This is my first time ever rating anything on line, and I am not enjoying the experience. I have a dear friend of mine who had open heart surgery, this took place at Maimonides Medical Center/Maimonides Hospital, I honestly think the doctors saved her life. However the heart breaking thing was after the surgery, when the nurses and other technicians had to do their jobs. Some of the nurses are like heaven sent, caring, kind and loving, unfortunately this was the minority. Most of these people have no compassion for a persons fear, nor any understanding that it takes more than medical care to get a patient well. They are nasty, uncaring, and at times seems spiteful. They show no concern, or have no understanding of their patients fear, or mental frailty. They rule their little domain like some small minded dictators. I urge you if you have love ones in this hospital, try to stay with them over night, that's when these vampires come out, when their is no family members or love ones their to defend the defenseless. The hospital needs to get out the staff who are only on the job for a pay check. For a heart hospital, it's staff show very little heart.

• Pros: The medical care is excellent
• Cons: lack of compassion
