4 /5 G Luch: Overall great experience with a beautiful , new space, competent doctors /nurses and a very engaged ancillary staff. However , the waiting times in the ED to get care delivered is painfully slow - even when it is empty. This is somewhat systemic with Sinai TBH- there is always a reflexive perception by the nurses that “it’s really busy” even when it simply Isn’t .
Im not anti-labor , but seeing droves of staff talking /socializing loudly for hours at a time must drive admin crazy. The only way to get care in this ED is to advocate for it …and then you will get it…but that’s sad.
I’ve dealt with the Kravitz Pediatric ED three times (all in the middle of the night when it was literally empty) and have had identical experiences - excellent medical care delivered by exceptionally slow ED nurses.
The care upstairs on the fifth floor was much much more expedient . The residents, doctors, nurses, SW, and aides were all prompt, kind and attentive. There was an error made with medication reconciliation that was preventable but other than that it was a great hospital stay .
Shout out the impressive Drs Reid, Bautista , Garcia and Zinns as well as the Child Life Team!
