Dr. Ahmad Jallad MD

I took my mother to the emergency room for severe pain in her lower extremities. I have to admit that the customer service and attention my mother received were exceptional for an emergency room. Nurse Mckenzie was attentive to my mother's needs,very prompt with giving her the ordered medications, very friendly. The resident who saw my mom Paolo, if only all physicians were as humble and attentive as he was with her. He took his time to listen to my mother's issues, took the time to take her history, he explained everything in detail and most of all he checked on her often and also provided feedback as far as next steps being taken. I was really impressed with service.

This hospital is horrible. I would not recommend especially if your pregnant or planning to have your baby here. My prenatal care doctor offered me 2 options for the hospital to deliver my baby. Downstate was one of the options. I chose this hospital because I heard that it was a good hospital but it is not. The labor & delivery staff is horrible. They are very rude. They are short of staff. The hospital lacks cleanliness. They don’t allow anybody to be with u not even the father of your child. They made my pregnancy experience very lonely. Any appointments I had there They said nobody can be there with me Not for my sonogram appointments Not for my NST appointments Not when I was admitted or anything. They didn’t even bring my partner in the room while I was in labor. He was left in the waiting area. I went through my pregnancy/ labor alone. I was in labor some of the staff was being very rude & impatient. They didn’t even know what they were talking about. The night I went into labor My water broke at home and I was having contractions. My contractions sped up so fast. Went from mild pain to excruciating pain within 2-3 hrs. My contractions were coming back to back but they were saying I was only 2-3cm dilated but my baby came & I told them I felt him coming but they didn’t believe me . I pushed him out without the help of any nurse or doctor. By the time the doctor came back in the room my son head was already out All she did was help me get the rest of the body out. The nurse that was in the room with me Watch me go through that pain She did nothing when I was telling her the head was out. She stared at me in disgust Didn’t even try to help me & was giving me attitude. I was telling them I need epidural and she said your not getting it with a nasty attitude & she forced the iv in my arm as I was having contractions. My arm has so many bruises. The night shift is absolutely horrible. They act like they don’t want to do there job. After pushing the baby out then they allowed my partner in the room He missed the whole experience. Then they wasn’t trying to allow him to stay the night there with me After labor they moved me to another room for the rest of my stay. They knew he was with me but yet moved me to another room with other women then said he couldn’t be there because there were other women there as we were sleeping at 11:30pm at night. They don’t want u to have any support they want u there alone. I feel absolutely violated. I didn’t deserve to be treated the way they treated me. They made me very uncomfortable every time I went there.

Awful. Here with my partner and they’ve been in the ER for 11 hours almost and were admitted but still not taken upstairs. Nurses on their phones online shopping and playing games and reading the tabloids of all things. I have never seen such a poor hospital staff.

Worst experience in my entire life. My nurse was friendly and kind but that was all. I sat in the Er from 10:48 am to 5 am waiting on surgery . Was told there were no beds available for me at the moment. So I sat in the Er in excruciating pain until time for my surgery. Er was extremely uncomfortable and cause me more pain than the pain I was actually in. I will never come here again,

For over a decade I been put to silence by doctors and hospital staff when they mistreated me but if I do something to them they get taken seriously. When they do something to me I get silence with action and threats of being put to sleep. I wish I could give 0 stars. When I went for medical treatment I got treated for mental. I told everyone I’m Autistic and a male nurse keep putting his hand on me. I told him I don’t like being touched. The male nurse rub my leg my shoulder my hand. The whole experience in the hospital was hell on earth. I was put through humiliation. I was forced to share stuff about myself to not be hospitalized for suicide ideation. The doctor said I’m suicidal but I never felt that way. Everyone was telling me that I feel suicidal when I don’t feel that way. I was put to shame by the doctor and hospital workers.
