Worse hospital in the are. Pay the extra fee and have ambulances take you to Columbia hospital in Astoria. I sat in pain after being brought in by ambulance for my left foot after a fall. I was denied treatment until a bed opened up. The doctor I did see some 3 hrs later was more concerned about handling his religious material our then my injury. I did get pain meds until I was about to be discharged. This hospital doesnt care about people, it cares about money. My suspicions are they can close any day if they dont see the number of people and change them. The nurses are short tempered

OBH saved my mother's life three times. Dr. Fabiano provided excellent geriatric primary care. My mother recovered from both hip and vascular surgeries in the Swing Bed Unit so critical to our community without a nursing home.

Tried for months to get in to see doctor as new patient. Had moved to area. After third month was told to find somewhere else to go. They had changed my appointment three times and had said they would take me originally. Good thing it wasn't something that could have been life threatening.
