This hospital seems cold and uncomfortable to me, especially when put in a room waiting for diagnosis. They give you a cold blanket. Seems like you wait forever to see anyone

This is where you go if you want zero help. If i had 10 minutes to live id risk the 15 to 20 minutes to go to another hospital. Runny nose broken bone great. Allt of pain and confusion. Well tbats when a supposedly doctor maybe comes in. They are more worried about covid then there patiences. This is a hospital Joe Biden can get behind. Go with low expectations.

If we are only talking about the rehab facility located on the 3rd floor, then I can't say enough in praising the unit and staff. Counselors cared and they made time to listen to you. It has a small number of patients. While I was there, I don't think the number ever exceeded 10. I believe 15 is max. Groups were good. Lots of give and take. Enough down time during the day as well. Hospital food is typical so expect anything exciting there! If you're serious about getting clean, and you live in or around upstate NY, this is the place for you!

Absolute worst hospital I've ever been to. Every Staff person Ive talked to has been rude. If everyone reads several reviews, the owner only responds to the good reviews. Hmmmm....interesting.
