List 11 Doctor of Medicine (MD) near Auburn, NY (part 2)

Matthew Ocean I recently ended up going to the ER at 9:30pm on a Thursday night. I was in excruciating abdominal pain, and seen after only waiting a half hour or so. While it took a while to get imaging done, the ER staff were all so kind and helpful. Doing what they could to try and relieve my pain and give me fluids. Once imaging confirmed it was my gallbladder, I was given an anti-inflammatory that helped immensely bring the pain down from a 10 to a 3. After a couple hours I was taken up to my official room and would be having surgery in the afternoon. Nursing staff overnight was so sweet, and checked on me often, but not too often where I couldn’t get some naps in. In the afternoon I was brought down to surgery and spoke with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, nursing staff, ER techs, etc. They explained everything to me and answered any questions I had. Don’t remember a thing after being wheeled into the operating room. When I was brought to my room, once again the nursing staff was so amazing to me, up until my discharge the following day. To summarize. Crouse Hospital and staff really helped me so much in an emergency situation. Everyone from the doctors, nurses, anesthesiologist, ER techs, medical technicians, nursing assistants, to even the sanitation staff and the staff who takes food orders were all seriously so incredibly gentle, caring, and sweet to me. No hyperbole, EVERY medical staff member treated me with the utmost kindness. I hope I don’t have to go to the hospital again anytime soon, but if I’m still in Syracuse, it’s Crouse. Thank you to everyone from the hospital who helped me.

Kerry Oliver Worst hospital ever. Staff fought and then walked out. Leaving a more shortage of staffing on top of being short staffed. Staff shortage to a point the nursey was "shut down". A nurse laughed at my response to a private situation, mind you this was not my first delivery! First situation! The Dr. didnt know my case, yet I was in your care! Very unsettling experience. I would never ever EVER choose this hospital. Nor recommend to anyone. There were some good people, but over all care was not what it should have been by any means. Very disappointed.

Brian meyers As for the hospital itself. The nurses and doctors are really nice. Never had a problem. Seem like they know what they are doing. My only complaint the security guard. We were bringing our mother to the hospital. We went in to get checked in. The one security guard was really rude and acting very intimidating toward myself , my wife and my sister in law. Would not allow all of us to go in the waiting room. The security could not even walk up to the window so we could hear what he was saying. But yet walked to the doors like they were going to come at us. This is not the first time when I have gone to crouse and seen this one security guard being rude and nasty to other patients or people going into the hospital to visit their family members. They need better security officers. No reason for the attitude.

Autumn Starr It is impossible to rate any hospital w 5 stars. But Ive had 20 surgeries, 15 major, so I know hospitals. They will never please everyone. Crouse does the best they can to make your stay pleasant. The best nurses that try not to wake you up at night while getting vitals and the cleaning staff that wipes down every surface imaginable. Even the cafeteria will go out of their way with your special requests. Oh and theres the doctors and Surgeons. The ones Ive dealt with are very good. Always good to look at all your options, near and afar. Learn as much as you can, read mayo and Cleveland clinic. Research where in the world do they perform this surgery the best. Get health insurance for peats sake. Dont use the Er like its your primary doctor. Get use to having to wait for every little tiny thing you want. Get family or friends to come in to help. Also most importantly you must be your own advocate. Fight for what you need. Whether it be an extra creamer or a pint of blood.

Matthew Nye Every time I go to the bathroom I’m glad I went to see Dr Cohen. My life is so much better now. Every single day I am thankful.

June Ericksen you cant get past the receptionist. needed to know if they had xr vorhsa records, so I could reach out if needed. said I couldnt ask a nurse.

Brandon Nares I couldnt be happier with the care I received here today. I usually hate going to the Dr but todays visit was amazing. I was treated so friendly and I was able to utilize the new lab next door for the first time. The gentleman that drew my blood was a legend. Got it on the first poke and made me feel so comfortable. This place is really stepping up there game lately. Dont be afraid to give them a try!

Colleen Sollars I had a cleaning here today as a new patient. I have some anxiety about dental work, even a simple cleaning. The tech who did my cleaning and Xrays listened to me and took care to keep me comfortable throughout my visit. the office staff and dentist were friendly and helpful as well.

Emerson Bolha I’ve been coming to East Hill for almost a decade and I can’t stress how happy I am with their level of care. I’ve gone through a lot medically with them and they are there every step of the way. I currently see Ute and she is an absolute pleasure to see. In her visits she takes the time to get to know you and to see what’s going on. If needed, she refers you to a specialist; no problem at all. In addition to my medical needs, I also get dental cleanings / checkups. I’ve never had an issue with this either. Once again, if I need more specific care, a referral is made; no problem. I don’t know why there are so many negative reviews out here. East Hill is defiantly worth your time and money.

Alessandra Smith If I could give less than one star for their behavioral health services I would. Nicole was incredibly stigmatizing and flat out did not listen to me when I told her I was happy on my current medication. It was very clear that she did not think that “adult adhd is a thing” and so if you are seeking treatment for adult adhd DO NOT go here!

Brenda Rosemier I called holiness for script refill on a Wednesday. Script wasnt at pharmacy on Monday. I called again to request Script. On Tuesday I called doctor to see if Script was sent in. NO. This is controlled substance so can only refill every 30 days. Well, doctor on vacation for another 2 weeks. Script sitting in her inbox!! Why would the nurse do this? I still dont know if I can get Script. NOT HAPPY!! A its the day before Christmas.

Paul Westfall I took my daughter to get checked up on in the emergency room. She was in tears because of a ear ache and vomiting. The whole time we were there, you could obviously tell they were less than enthused of our presence. They didnt process the insurance for my daughter. I had to follow up and make sure they did a few days later. They didnt send over the prescription for my daughters ear ache do to an infection. At the moment she cant hear out of her right ear. Not a pleasant experience at all.

Dorraine Sample We are still waiting on a check from Schuyler Hospital since November of 2024. Everytime I leave a voicemail to Tina Bruckman she as of yet hasnt responded.

Sandra Rhodes I want to send a thank you to the entire staff at Schuyler Med/Surg Swing bed. Thank you for the wonderful, compassionate, and personal care you gave me during my stay. It was exceptional and I am sure contributed to my recovery. I highly recommend this facility. The food was also very good.

Christian Stephanie (chii) I’m giving a 2* on behalf of my 50 year old Mother’s recent visit to the hospital on 1/26/24. She went because she fractured her tailbone. She stated that a “pretty and skinny nurse with brown hair” of Dorothy Elizabeth’s or a nurse in question, had dismissed my mom being in pain. Calling my mother a “BABY” before shortly leaving the room and my mother waiting for Dorothy (the doctor). Nobody should treat patients this way. My mom ended up not telling the doctor mainly feeling shocked in disbelief of it coming from the nurse and shut down emotionally, avoiding talking about it until coming home and telling me, her 30 year old daughter about it. This isn’t directed towards the doctor. Just the nurse who lead her to a room and completely dismissed her feelings of pain and called her a “baby”. How unprofessional and unsympathetic. She unfortunately doesn’t know the nurse in question. Just a brief description of her appearance hence the quotes.

Rick Smith I was there on December 5th and I was very impressed, probably the best experience I have ever had in a Doctors office. I arrived a few minutes early and they brought me right in. Everyone was so kind and professional and knowledgeable and organized, I really couldnt get over it.

Cruise Drew My 1st visit... well I must not be important. My appointment was for 1015a. I got there at 10a to fill out paperwork. It was 1050a before I was called into a room and only after I complained that people were coming in after me and being seen before me. Nurse took my vitals right away, it wasnt for another 40 minutes before the Dr. came in... Needless to say, I wont be going back. Id much rather drive to Syracuse for an office staff and Dr. who thinks all their patients are important and their time is valuable.

Miranda Proctor Dr. Klotz is a good doctor but his office runs terrible. First the automated message gave me the inncorecct time for the appointment. The secretary said "Oh yeah its been doing that." She never said anything thing when I checked in and said I had an appointment at 9:00am. Then after a half hour I went to the receptionist and thats when she said that my appointment was at 9:30am instead of 9:00am. And then she added that there are two people before me. This is so stupid that the office is this far behind.

Jacob Dixon I seen Amy Secour. She is very pretty :) lol. Amyways, she made my visit super comfortable because she was very polite, knew what she was talking about, and super fast. I was treated very well for my very first appointment. BUT... Yes, yes, yes... The office staff IS VERY RUDE and miserable... i say FIRE THE OFFICE STAFF!!! Lol... just kidding, just kidding... hahah I wouldnt of givin 5 stars if that was the case ;) they wernt too bad either

Marissa Hall It was an extremely long wait to get a room but this is by far the best experience I’ve had with Auburn hospital. I was very pleased. All of the nurses and my provider were amazing, they looked at everything to figure out what was causing the pain. They did a great job at their jobs last night. In the past I would have gotten discharged for lower abdominal pain within 3 or 4 hours but they kept me there for 7 hours to make sure everything was okay. They informed me what was going on and what to do next. Thank you Auburn for making it the best experience with you guys to where I was in good hands last night!

Theresa Cole If you need to go to the hospital, youre better off going to Upstate or St Josephs instead. Yesterday, I had to go there, and the service was slow! It took 4 hours for my husband to be taken care of (I went as a support person). And then once we were in the patient room, not only did waiting take another 3-4 hours, there were no comfortable chairs. I sat on a stool and by the end, I was sore and achy. I will say the staff at least did try to be cordial.

Alex Somerville I was treated on November 25th for lung issues that made me pass out. The staff was not as slammed as hospitals can be,nthese days. I received empathy, professionalism and understanding. A nurse practitioner names Josh and a RN named Kelly were fantastic. Thank you to them. Life isnt easy for some of us. They cared and they were very sweet. My ailments were treated and I am home resting

Courtney Morgan I came in to Er with an infection that wasnt responding to antibiotics.aftr intake I was put in a room of curtain cubicles but my curtain was open the entire time for some reason, I am disabled w an anxiety disorder so it was kind of unsettling to not have any space, plus I was in front of the door where the staff go in and out . There was a bright light directly over my head in the chair I was sitting in..I was already dizzy and nauseous and one nurse turned it off for me, until another nurse came and turned it on and left it on. I have two issues that occured here last night. One was that one nurse came to take bloodwork, and prep me for an IV. She took the blood ..didnt ask me to remove my wallet or phone just left bloody gauze and items she used to draw the blood on the table almost touching my wallet and phone. I found that kind of gross. She said let me come back w iv but it was a wait. Then during the iv drip as Im sitting in a chair in the wide open one if the nurses came up to the nurse who drew my blood and told her the bloodwork she did had no dates or times. I wasnt surprised because her work on me was sloppy yes I know an er is busy..but it was sloppy. She administered meds thru the catheter dropped the bottle on the floor didnt even wipe em or nothing and used em. Finally at the end before my discharge I was told by the nurse shed get me in and out as Id been there for hours, because Im disabled and had a ride there to take me home it was too late for a bus and I had no Money to get home. Quickly didnt happen there were no nurses around when I hit the call button on the wall she came ..went to administer the pills...dropped them ON THE FLOOR and ASKED ME IF I STILL EANTED TO TAKE THE PILLS SHE DROPPED IN A DIRTY HOSPITAL FLOOR I said excuse me what??? No Im not going to eat pills of a filthy floor .so then she smirked and said well its just gonna take you longer to get out cuz now I have to get more .I said fine do what you need to I mean come on any floor would be disgusting let alone an emergency room floor wy would a nurse even ask that considering how unsanitary? Ok satisfied withthe medications I received there was a couple nurses who were nice but the others seemed overwhelmed and overworked and gave a slight attitude when asked for anything or called on their sloppy performance and care for the patient and patients health.

Eugene. Bruce Bell I was admitted and assigned to the GYN Examination room as a room for the night. I asked why i couldn’t have a proper patient room and was told there was no empty rooms. The room was super cold. I had to ask 3 times for more blankets and never got any. I was so cold I was shaking. I push the call bell 4 different times and ask for someone to come and help me. No one ever came. I finally had enough and got dressed and was leaving. I told them my complaints and they said seeing how I wasn’t scheduled for my appointment with a dietitian until the next day that the room assigned was all they had available. I left on my own and before leaving i addressed how unsatisfactory the care given me. I got the vibes that the person I was talking to didn’t really care. I informed them I would definitely file a complaint. They again seemed like they didn’t care.

Malcolm Crane My lung collapsed, and I booked it to the emergency room. I was hesitant because of the 2.1 star review, but they have earned all five stars from me. Nurse Leslie: Explained procedures clearly, ensured my pain was minimal, kept my spirit high, and was polite and kind the whole night. Very funny, very sweet, and most importantly, she was calm when I was nervous. 5 star nurse!! Dr. Page: He was very quick to get me into the emergency room after seeing my x-rays. He was having a very busy night and was still kind and patient with me. I thank him and the big man who was with him for fixing my collapsed lung! Once I got upstairs into the hospital room, nurse Ann was taking care of me. She was also very good at keeping my spirits high and keeping my pain low. I want to thank her as well. Dr. Michael Petrosino was also amazing. He prescribed some medication for me and made sure I felt good enough to leave. Hes a very professional and caring doctor. Thank you. Everyone who helped me at this hospital genuinely cared about me and my issues. Ive never had such amazing care at a hospital ever before in my life. Thank you so much to everyone who helped me!

oli bochenek The staff was SO NICE and I felt very safe here. I had to be seen in the middle of the night for an asthma attack and they got me in right away. They were so so kind and friendly and extremely helpful and attentive.

Kaitlin Francher I had an amazing experience here when I had to be seen for a pregnancy scare. I was able to be seen in 30 minutes, and every single staff member I encountered was kind and encouraging. The ER was even full at the time with patients struggling with COVID. The ER Dr. was able to get me into a OB-GYN the next day as a new patient which was so kind because I hadnt been able to get in anywhere for a month at that time. Ive never had such a pleasant experience in a hospital which is crazy as it was one of the most nerve wracking days of my life. I will always drive here if possible.

Kennedy Gillette If I could rate this hospital 0 starts, I would. After turning my fiancée down at the urgent care, and giving him odd looks for going to the ER that they sent him to, they left my fiancée sitting there for hours without a nurse checking in, even when he pressed his call button. We just moved to the area and haven’t ever experienced such bad service. He was also set with very sick, coughing patients despite having an issue with his eye. With COVID, this is highly unsafe. Definitely don’t recommend for your loved ones.

Nicholas McIntyre This is hands down the worst doctor weve ever had the displeasure of going to. My wife made an appointment with him because she wasnt feeling well and was having migraines. Instead of examining her he said "well ur having a panic attack and all your symptoms are due to anxiety" and then proceeded to call an ambulance to take her to the auburn er to get a CT scan. We proceeded to spend 10 hours in the er just for the er doc to finally tell us that she had a simple sinus infection something that could have been figured out in a 10 minute exam by doctor duckett if he cared to do an exam and not just write her off as a panic attack just because she was crying from the pain of her migraine. Doctor duckett has no bedside manner and does not care about his patients.

C ccolgate Stay CLEAR OF this doctor and his practice! He has NO BED SIDE MANNERS, very rude and writes you off!!!

LM T Extremely unprofessional in the fact he lets his personal feelings affect how he treats his patients. He has no problem letting you know he thinks you are trash and then proceeds to treat you that way. If he’s like that to your face theirs no telling what he’s doing with the dead.
