Holy Name Medical Center

Just try make this review public, since the others that can not find because of course they deleted all from the internet, any true review about Holy Name School, So when you apply to the school in there you know into where you are getting into shaky ground.
Well,
I’ll be the first to review, when I researched this school in FASA, the graduation was 100% no
retention or transfer, but all lies apart, I don’t even finish my finals, because anyway I failed,
making no sense according to advise even to try the finals, before that happen I desperately
looked for any kind of help, advice, anything, just try harder next test, there no quizzes or any
kind of mental stimulation or practical knowledge. If you lost your first test or come late, just
drop right there, at least you get some money back, because my first test I was late and could
not finish so I was done. They don’t care, don’t give chance to finish or make other again, if
you work or had any other problem is your problem like everything else. There is $ 1440,00
only for Tech fee, so you get IPAD Mini that don’t cost even $ 300,00 so they don’t have the
work in correct the testes all give by EXAMSOFT. The cost for freshmen is $ 6691,00 first
trimester only. Many others that also fail will try next year again, they said that we have to
learn by ourselves, disappointment to find that, why am I paying almost $ 10.000,00 if I have to
teach myself? Clinicals are OK, but if you graduate your employer wants your certification,
besides all students in my class at least 80% included myself have already experience in the
hospital set. There is no difference from Community College, so judge by yourself if work
paying this extra money, more nobody make any kind of critical because they have to come
back and finish, we are trap there. Most students like me come a board with big loans, and
they have come from other Colleges just trying finish this «TWO YEARS» nursing degree.

The hospital itself seems competent and the emergency room is fast and has some very skilled doctors. The problem comes with billing. Most of the time they want money up front and then are reluctant to part with it when they get paid by insurance. If you have a procedure done, regardless of your credit score and insurance, they literally start calling the day you get home, demanding their money, then send a fake collection-​agency notice as the FIRST bill. I have yet to find a doctor in the hospital who takes my insurance though they are theoretically on my plan. Parking is expensive. Charges are extremely high. Office staff is rude and unhelpful. It’s a quandary because the only other local ER has long long waiting times and is understaffed and under-​provisioned with space (despite being massive in size and full of people, there’s a lot of demand). Just be careful because chances are the simplest visit will result in major hassles and large costs.

Crooks. Charge an insane amount of money for literally being there less than 2 hrs! Plus charges hosp bill + doc bill. My insurance did not cover the almost $ 2k they charged ! Why would they? They are crazy. Wtf.

Extremely disgusted with this hospital. My father had knee replacement surgery and when attempting to visit with my wife I was rudely informed by the useless front desk attendant that since my mother was already in his oom, we were was only 1 more visitor (2 per room) and that this mysterious policy was just «enacted yesterday».
The room has 3 chairs, my father is stuck and has limited mobility due to the surgery, so explain why the room can only have 2 visitors? It’s a single room to boot.
Avoid this hospital and thier «enacted yesterday» rules like the plague.

Had to visit the ER for my shoulder. Very quiet Sunday afternoon, did not wait more than 10 minutes before I saw triage. Then maybe another 10 mins before I was taken back. Triage nurse, nurse practitioner and nurse were very nice. Xrays were taken quickly and technician was also very nice. Nobody enjoys going to the hospital and having never been at Holy Name before, it was a good experience. I had to go back after to pick up my xrays for the ortho. I called to find out the hours and procedure and the woman was very nice. Went later that day to pick them up and again the ladies there were nice. Stopped in the Chapel and said a prayer, very pretty, comforting Chapel. Also stopped in the gift shop and the lady is there was very nice and sweet and made sure to remove the prices off of my purchase, I told her not to worry about it, but she insisted.

I would give this place ZERO STARS if I could. Horrible staff that takes so long for any type of treatment, horrible hospital food, doctors don’t seem to care about their patients.
If my appointment is at 8am, it will take an hour to check in, hour for the nurses to check your weight/​draw blood, and freaking another two hours until you even get to see the doctor’s face. Don’t waste hours here (like I have so many times) and go somewhere else. I’ve come here for a 8am appointment and left at 5pm because the staff is never on time.

Great hospital, great nurses & caring staff.

I delivered my daughter here & was very pleased with the clean, comfortable facility. The doctors & nurses were extremely attentive, caring & helpful. Even the normally horrible hospital food was surprisingly tasty. My only complaint was with the billing department. After I was discharged I received a bill from one of the doctors who assisted with the delivery requesting payment because he wasn’t covered under my insurance… this dragged on for months!

Had my annual visit yesterday and this is a long overdue thank you to Kristen, who has been doing my mammograms for many years now. She always puts me at ease with a little chat before we get started. I had Marie for my ultrasound this year, and Marie was also very pleasant and has a great bedside manner. Thank you, Ladies!

I have what I would consider «delinquent» breasts.
Because of this, I’m constantly having biopsies, cancer scares etc etc etc.
Well, when NJ changed all the rules for insurance, they pulled the place I had been going to for 25 years and gave me 2 choices. One of them was Holy Name.
I’ve never heard of this place before. Looked on Unilocal — OMFG — horrible… but I had to make an appointment (for my quadruple biopsy)
On the day of my appointment, I went in through the secret side door just for us breast folk.
Waited about 30 minutes and was called in for my procedure. The Dr doing it was Dr William Ko.
He was gentle, funny, informative, and was able to save me a lot of pain by using only one incision for the 4 questionable areas.
His side kick Melissa was warm and fuzzy and just made me feel very comfortable.
To be honest with you, I’ve never had such an enjoyable biopsy in all my years of breast crap.
In total, I was there for over 3 hours and time just flew by.
So do you find yourself in the same situation?
Go with Ko
Amazing procedure from soup to nuts. :)

Last month I went in to see my doctor at his office in Holy Name (Dr. Alex Hesquijarosa) and had to head straight to the emergency room, due to abdominal pain and what the doctor thought might be diverticulitis symptoms. I was processed immediately and within the hour I was going in for a CT Scan (that confirmed the diverticulitis). Less than 2 hours after I arrived at Holy Name, I saw my DR, went through emergency, got the necessary scan to determine what was wrong and was then admitted for treatment.
I spent 2 and a half days there and I must say that absolutely all the nurses and support staff were amazingly pleasant and delightful to deal with. If anything, they checked on me too often and this sometimes would disrupt my naps. But I didn’t mind at all because all were so caring and friendly in their demeanor — especially Sue and Madison, who were the morning and evening nurses during my stay. I had never been in the hospital before (outside of the time I gave birth to my son many years ago). But if I ever have to go to the hospital again, I’ll choose Holy Name.

Most of the nurses are rude and have poor communication skills. One of the nurses had no idea what a HIPAA consent form was. Another nurse was unable to pronounce «penicillin».

i will never be spending my hard earned money at this place!!!
you would think that a hospital should be caring, understanding, informative, pleasant, nurturing, trusted, etc… well holy name hospital is none of the above.

I can only review them for maternity, as I had my baby here and had monthly ultrasounds here as well. I also visited the ER once when I was in my 3^rd trimester and was leaking amniotic fluid (sorry for the gross details). This hospital the best maternity ward I have ever seen or anyone who visited me had ever seen. The rooms are spacious and private, much appreciated when recovering from a c-​section. Your baby can stay in the room with you or they can bring him/​her to the nursery if you need help… if you are by yourself after a c-​section you will need help, since you cannot pick up the baby. Even the food was decent… I live in brooklyn and I would consider coming back here for my next baby.

Came to the ER earlier in the week at around 1:30 pm. There were probably about 4 other people waiting ahead of me, the check in desk said it would be about 30 min wait. They took me in about 20 min, which is not bad at all i must say.
Took me to my room, waited, then the doctor came and said they would do a scan. Waiting, and waiting and more waiting. Finally after an hour with no presence in my room i stood and walked out to the nursing station (mean while they were discussing what to order for dinner) and asked whats going on did you forget about me? They brushed it off quickly saying «Oh someone is on their way.»
The staff was friendly enough. The doctor was just doing his job. The ER was defiantly not busy. Aside from all the waiting around, i would come back here.
TIP: Remind nurses you are there, or else you will be waiting…

Dr’s and staff excellent my granddaughter was cared for right away. Very professional

This place is awful.
Employees here are RUDE and INCOMPETENT.
My mother’s nurse failed to explain that my mom would have to push a button every 15 minutes to release her morphine drip.
So when my mom woke up crying in pain — I had no idea what to do. Nurse had no bedside manner. Didn’t even apologize for her lack of information.
Ordered food for my mom. Person who delivered her meal entered the room yelling. (Who yells in a post-​op room?) AND slammed the tray down. Didn’t say have a nice day or even acknowledge our presence.
My mom said she was thirsty and I didn’t feel comfortable giving her water. She was half out of it and lying down. I feared she would choke. I expressed my concerns and the nurse looked at me like I was nuts for asking her to help with the water.
The one star is for Lisa Tripodi’s service. Top notch. She answered our questions. She was kind and courteous. Everyone should take a page from her book.
I hope I never get ill or in an accident near this place.
It’s the f*cking pits.

Mom is here recovering from a total hysterectomy and some. My family and I are very pleased with her care here. The environment and the staff are all top notch. Very clean facility.
I work in healthcare and know what a good hospital should offer. This place is it. Great communication. Clean clean clean…
Mom gets to choose her meals, way better then not having the option to choose, full menu is offered to her. They have a full liquid menu as well for when she had restrictions.
One problem I had is the café downstairs. Food is good hospital food. Today they were serving «cod». It clearly was not cod, likely red snapper but for the portion, price and it being tasty, I refrained from complaining.
5 stars because of the care she has received…

This hospital is very friendly yesterday June 26 I went and visited one of my closes friends who just has a babygirl. Usually hospitals give me a hard time allow one person at a time but Holy name allowed my husband and I and my two children.
The security staff is amazing.
Let speak about the Bistro omg amazing I’ve never been in a hospital that serves a plus food.
I had a grilled ceasar salad panini and my husband had a cuban sandwich panini.
We could not believe how good it was.
Only downside the hot dog was over cooked my daughter was a bit sad. The drinks are warm they need a refrigerator.
Overall I had a great experience.

Review for the Patio Grill at the hospital:
I had lunch here two days in a row while viaiting a patient and I was pleasantly suprised.
At first glance it does not look like somewhere you would want to eat (the décor is nothing special at all) but my roast beef sandwich was very good! My chicken salad sandwich the second day was also scrumptious. They give you condiments on the side, which is a bit annoying, but the pickles and potato chips are DELICIOUS! The staff is fine as well, speedy at making the food actually.
For a hospital «grill» I’d say it does a good job. There are porbably other options in the area but for a quick bite (where you don’t have to leave) I would come back again.
