NYC Health + Hospitals/North Central Bronx

Great hospitality and attention and great food 😌, I just came out the hospital yesterday the 17th, was there for a week since the 10th, on the 9th floor I believe room 9B-R8, had diabetes n high blood pressure and I was taken care off very well. But Damm the food was good lol I keep thinking about it, that jerk chiken and turkey burger was everything and all the nurses were nice, except a guy nurse who was rushing me he said I was being released and it was late already and snowing. But it's OK. The nurse that was taking care of me said nope you not going anywhere go rest, she fixed him for me lol 😂 I wish I remember her name ❤

I had all my prenatal visits at NCBH. Denise Wharton was my midwife. She was very caring, friendly, knowledgeable and made me very comfortable with each appointment. She treated me like a family. You can tell she loves her job. I also had an amazing team during my delivery and I just can't thank them enough. Midwife (Alissia Falconer) was an absolute gem. She was loving, caring, attentive and an excellent midwife. She went above and beyond to ensure my baby and I were safe. She watched the monitors and kept running to my room to check up on me. She constantly reassured me when I became worried about my baby and communicated with me throughout. She wasted no time to call the doctor when anything was concerning. Nurse (Shamile Foote) was truly what nursing stands for. I cannot forget her warm smiles and willingness to do anything to ensure my comfort. She was also very proactive. Prepared the room and got everything in order for the delivery. She also cleaned me up nicely there after. Medical student (Diane) was a huge help during the most painful/difficult time. She was very soft spoken, respectful and with a great personality. Constantly checked on me and offered water and fan to help me. She offered her shoulder to cry and hands to squeeze when the pain was unbearable. She held my hands and motivated me throughout the whole process. She will be an amazing doctor in the future. She had a human touch which is rare these days. Doctor Margaret Seybolt was also great. Very experienced and did what needed to be done and quickly to deliver my baby safely. Nurse anesthetist (Chang) did a great job with the epidural. Talked me through it and calmed me. Thank you all and God richly bless you.

I came to NCB for all my prenatal appointments and labor and delivery. It was honestly such a pleasant experience, midwife Malone and Kennedy were so amazing throughout my entire pregnancy. Always answered all my questions and concerns! I had an induction and it didn’t last more than 12 hours ! It was fast, I’m grateful for midwife Denise Wharton she was so amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better person to deliver my baby, she truly loves her job ! She’s very sweet, patient, she goes over everything she’s going to do and she’s also very knowledgeable! I was definitely scared but Denise made everything so much more easier ❤ postpartum was alright, the only complaint I have is that I wish they would’ve helped me a little bit more with breastfeeding. But other then that I have no complaints

Hi, I’m redoing my review.

I just gave birth 3/25 and had a c section. The midwives, nurses and other staffs had me feel so comfortable. I’m happy I chose this hospital for my child birth. The c section process was amazing. I didn’t feel a thing N the staff are very welcoming and helpful.

Today was my first time coming to this NYC health+ hospitals location in the bronx. I had an appointment in the women’s health department/ gynecology and the staff was very friendly , caring and helpful. The nurse that took my vitals and the nurse practitioner were excellent at their job. Thank you for the excellent care I have received.

So far so good at NCB. My midwife has been great and so are most of the staff I have encountered. Reviews were a bit questionable but decided to try and if I didn’t like it I would switch. Have been receiving prenatal care here since December and no complaints. They always call to remind me of appointments as well as refer me to the necessary services to ensure a smooth and healthy pregnancy. I’m happy with the care I’m receiving here thus far. Thank you to all the wonderful sonographers also. They made my anatomy scan an unforgettable one. All laughs and jokes. Thank you to the wonderful staff at NCB 🙏🏽

I arrived at the hospital as a walk in at 7:15am for the dentist since I have never been there. I was the 2nd in line. I waited an hour then was bought upstairs to the dental office at 8:15am to get checked in. I had to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and they was able to give me an appointment for the next morning for surgery. The nurses was very sweet and helped calm me down before surgery. I have metro plus and they accept and covered everything. The front desk people were fine at the entrance. I recommend this hospital for dental, I have never tried any of their other departments.

I love it here I really don’t care about everybody’s negative review because every time I go to this hospital down to emergency room, sons appointment, and prenatal care that pink floor that one lol , they are the best they are helpful I gave birth here and they helped me , I highly recommend if you want to find a perfect place for your child to come in this world pick here they are literally the best. Especially the pediatric doctors and the er side they are the best

The staff are very kind and friendly,they painstakingly take their time to make sure you understand whatever information they are trying to pass across to you.

I had my first child at north central, it was an induced labor and I was not dilating. My mid wife and nurses where great, they made me feel comfortable, they tried everything to make sure I didn’t get a c section. I got an epidural and the doctor was so gentle putting it on me I didn’t feel a thing, he talked to me all the way through. For my next child I’ll definitely be going back to north central to give birth.

The service at NCBX was absolutely amazing. The nurses in the ER were very attentive, kind and informative. The room was clean and organized. Unfortunately for me I was admitted. However, when I got up to the 9th floor. I was welcomed by a complete nurse staff. All kind people. I was amazed how everyone was so happy to help me from the doctors to the cleaning personnel. My stay was warm and welcoming.

Before choosing where to follow my pregnancy and delivery I checked online for information and especially reviews. I admit i had my own doubts because of not so good reviews I could read here. Anyway i decided to have my first appointment there and later decide to change if not satisfied.
It is true that there is a longer waiting time than the time of the appointment but still, it is not as terrible as written here. the longest time i had to wait was 2 hrs only once and usually 1 hour most of the times I had my appointments. There were always previews mamas arriving late, thus postponing all other appointments also for the ones arriving on time. The ladies at the reception most of the time were helpful and communicative and respectful, except some spare cases when any of them was tired of working and was not polite, but none of them rejected to do their job, which meant that I took all the service I needed. Related to nurses, midwifes and OBGs I am overwhelmed to tell that all of them were supportive to me, that came to a pregnancy after loss and was terrified during this pregnancy journey. They were nice, ready to listen and give emotional and professional support to me. When i delivered my baby, they were all there all eyes and ears to monitor every heartbeat of my baby and me. Doctor Phillibert and Stern were my OBGs and I am so lucky I had them. My pregnancy was calm, and I felt sure nothing bad would happen to us this time and it was true. I delivered and the staff at Nursing and delivery with the Head Nurse and all her staff is a dream team. I will go back there in my future again because I had an amazing journey that mentally helped me to heal myself from the hurtful past experience I had and now also my son is a Jacobi patient, because I trust to their pediatricians as well.

Jacobi Medical Center should work more in its PR and increase their visibility and promotion of good experiences from satisfied patients because i can see that mostly only disappointed ones are ready to rate negative reviews.

Very accurate hospital
On point
On time
Doctor very nice
Nurse is very nice
Good hospital to come get your kids and you self check thank me later

I had a very good experience with the endoscopy unit recently they have a very organized runs the dept with upmost professionalism thanks to Nova and team of nurses like Cathy Lim Yu and Dr Simon— please keep up the good work

Rose in the Dental dept is a charm. She is fun, friendly and goes above and beyond with her service and dental advice. Rest of dental dept staff is all wonderful also. Getting an appointment is a whole another story!

Definition of excellence!! The ultrasound department, there was a young hispanic girl who was super helpful and kind while doing my exam can't ask for more.

I've walked in twice with my kids and each time the front desk staff and dentists (attending and students) were extremely professional, kind and patient. Seems like everyone's priority is helping people.

I'm still here as I'm writing this so I don't want to jinx my visit lol. But seriously, make your appointment by phone or stop by, don't rely on walk in appointments, after 9am you're out of luck because other walk-ins beat you to the punch. Come to your appointment no earlier than around 10 minutes prior or they'll make you wait outside in the cold to respect social distancing. Everyone here is nice which is weird for this part of the Bronx but I'll take it!

I love the pediatric department here. Have been taken my kids here for two years the staff is awesome. Very knowledgeable. They take every step needed to make sure they adress everything. Never been to a hospital with a staff this great.

I've had numerous visits to NCBH in the past, and some of them were fair - others were just super tedious (including one where the triage nurse stated to a coworker of his that I lied to him to be seen quicker, which was not the case whatsoever).

My most recent visit was this past Friday, July 15th. Everyone was absolutely fantastic. The women at registration made everything very quick, 20 minutes later, I was seen by the triage nurse who was very helpful and I was admitted to the back area where I saw Dr. Burg. Liliana (spelling?) was such a sweetheart. She kept me company even though she was watching several other people and the triage nurse kept coming back to check up on me and see how I was doing.The entire team (including the nurse who placed my IV), were in sync and it was a great thing to see. Thank you NCBH for making this visit peaceful, although the circumstances were far from the latter.
