Overall, it seems that there is a culture among the doctors and ER staff that involves treating patients like they're not really worth healthcare providers' time in terms of showing any sort of kindness or good bedside manner. My story is that I'd been having trouble breathing from asthma for awhile but the doctor basically dismissed what I told her about my symptoms. She kept asking me if I drank alcohol or took drugs, and I kept having to repeat myself that I don't do drugs or really drink except once every few months or so during social events. Then she asked if I ever had anxiety issues and I said "yes," and that I was feeling anxious and disoriented mainly because it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to breathe and not feel like I was on the verge of fainting.
Then there was my personal nurse.All I can say is that the African American nurse who cared for me refused to be cordial or even slightly, pleasantly professional. She even scowled at and scolded me, the sick patient, for not being able to remember to bring my bathroom sample back to my room, despite the fact that the IV holder wouldn't roll around properly or move without me trying to lift it with both hands. Finally after receiving two respiratory treatments that helped me to breathe and feel less dizzy and disoriented, I received my release papersAnd guess what the doctor wrote? Patient's symptoms include: dizziness and 'giddiness' (with suspected asthma)." OK, so what in the world does "giddiness" even mean in terms of an official medical diagnosis, and why would asthma be "suspected" when that was precisely what I was treated for during my ER visit via respiratory treatments (I never was treated for symptoms of dizziness or "giddiness" yet it was written in the official statement as if these were the main issues)??? More importantly, why is it so freaking difficult to understand that a patient may seem out of it and anxious when they tell you they feel like they're literally on the verge of passing out from an inability to breathe???
Overall I just chalk it up to the fact that I most likely was racially profiled as someone on drugs by this doctor, in spite of the fact that I'd said upfront that I felt completely disoriented and faint because of my inability to breathe. I also suspect that's why she kept asking me whether I used drugs or not when I came there reporting symptoms of shortness of breath, dizziness, and feelings of disorientation.I mean, like how many drug addicts regularly go to the ER asking for an asthma medication? Whatever, these people can continue to be rude to patients, racially profile patients, or even potentially suspect that every black woman who comes in there to get help is hooked on drugs for all I careAll I know is that I won't be one of those women EVER, EVER AGAIN!
I would give 0 stars if i could. Absolutely horrible hospital. Theres hardly any staff around! The staff that you do find, is rude and unhelpful. No one will answer your questions or inform you about you loved one. I would not recommend this hospital to anyone, ever!
My grandmother died in this hospital and I honestly believe that if she was in another hospital she would still be alive. Prior to her passing, her nurse was so rude to us. She would come in and out of the room without acknowledging our presence. On one occasion I caught her forcibly turning my grandmother's head around to adjust her breathing mask. When I said something to her about it she acted like she didn't know what I was talking about. It took every bit of me not to go off on her but I didn't cause a scene in fear of how my grandmother would be treated in my absence. Each time I visited I would get inconsistent updates about her progress and when I would ask to speak with her DR they would say he's coming but he would never come to the room. When we received her belongings we noticed that some of the jewlery she was wearing on the day she was admitted was missing but we were told that everything she wore was given to us. I could go on and on with the complaints but I've decided to keep it brief. I regret every day leaving her in the care of these non compassionate, ghetto, trashy liars.
I was taking my mother to the hospital because she didn't feel well. So we waited for 4 hours and finally was called. I left because I had to do something important but my dad took my mom instead. My father told me this when staying at the hospital that they weren't treated with respect. The doctors had a attitude towards my parents and called for a interpreter for help but made my parents look bad. Also my father told me that when the doctors were getting blood from her that they were aggressive. This made me so angry to the point where I hope the people treated my parents with disrespect get inpale through the anus of a metal rod. I highly doubt this will be brought to light but don't go to that ghetto hospital.

Dr. DaSilva was amazing! He was thorough and has an awesome bedside manner. Lawrence in ultrasound and my nurse Claudette were great as well. It took longer than I liked to be seen but the five stars are for the great service I received from the staff.
They have a good mental health ward. Very caring staff. I like them, after Southern Maryland.
I just had my son at this hospital and the care they gave me was phenomenal. My son only lived for an hour but the nurses showed so much care and sympathy I couldn't asked for a better experience. I just want to thank them for their compassion and making sure all my needs were met.
