About the Business

The Elmhurst Hospital Center has 545 beds[2] and occupies a triangular block bounded by Broadway to the southwest, Baxter Avenue to the southeast, and 41st Avenue on the north. Previously, it contained 600 beds, most in clusters of up to six rooms that each shared a single bathroom.[3][4] There are two wings: the "A" wing running northeast on Baxter Avenue and the "B" wing running northwest on Broadway.[3]

The parking garage to the west of the main hospital contains 600 spaces and was opened in 1993 at a cost of $13 million. When completed, it was privately owned, unlike the garages at most public hospitals in New York City. This is because Ridgemont Parking Structures, the original contractor, planned to turn ownership over to the city when the garage was completed; when Ridgemont went bankrupt, the parking structure was completed by private investors.[5]

The Q53 SBS bus route runs along Broadway on the southwest side of the hospital. The closest New York City Subway stations are the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street station and the Elmhurst Avenue station.[6][7]

This is the worst hospital I have ever been to and I only came because it was local and an emergency. Most of the nurses and doctors lack communication, understanding, and care. Thankfully my daughter is okay, but the staff is a mess. They come into the room and start messing with my daughter's oxygen machine without telling me what they are doing. Then when you ask, they act like they don't want to answer. You should not feel comfortable coming into the room doing anything without explaining yourself. You can tell they are used to people not speaking up for themselves here. My daughters monitor kept going off because the wires were moving all around, you would think the nurses would come in to check to see what's going on because they can see on their end... but no I have to go out the room and tell a nurse to come inside. Ridiculous. The room we were in were infested with ants on the counter near the sink, absolutely disgusting. The bathroom had ants on the sink area as well. I felt like I was getting sick just from being there, the air quality is horrible. The windows in our room didn't open, no fresh air. I had to wait 2-3 hours for a nurse to discharge me when I was told a certain time I would be discharged. The nurse that was there apparently couldn't do it because "there's a lot going on." This hospital is a mess. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else, even if you have to take the trip.

I wanted to get an appointment but in order to even let me know the availability, I spent two days and total 90 minutes on the phone with representatives gathering alllll my personal information before even letting me know available slots. When they finally done collecting my info, they said the next available appointment is SIX months away. This is not possible to wait so long with, so as I won’t be a patient I naturally requested them to delete my personal information and profile - but they apparently “don’t have the authority” to do so, although they certainly had the authority to gather all that. This is very negligent of others time and personal information, and waste of own resources, to spend SO much time on a case that could’ve been solved literally in a minute with the following simple method: “Do you have appointments for xx service?” “Yes, but next one is six months out” “That will not suit me, so no thanks” I will not try to visit this hospital again.

Medical malpractice and lack of empathy from some staff Honestly the staff here are not that bad. Many are supportive and genuinely care about your medical and emotional well-being . However some cross the line and are not empathic or even sympathetic . After labor, I was still heavily medicated because I lost a lot of blood and hydration after birth. I also had a failed epidural which caused me nerve damage because it was injected 4-5 times by the anesthesiologist. This caused me extreme pain after birth and people had to help me carry the baby because I could not walk. I had hip, back, and sciatic nerve pain I was bonding with my baby and breastfeeding and then I was rudely interrupted by 3 of the staff. Some were social workers and some were psychiatrist. Most of them were male too. First of all have some decency, my breast are out I need privacy. Second you are intruding on my bonding time. Then this social worker ( Ana Gonzalez) says she thinks I won’t be able to bond with the baby. Maam just because I had trouble answering your questions doesn’t mean I hate and will neglect my child. 1) I am heavily medicated and can’t focus 2) hormonal changes make you cry easy after birth which is normal and biological 3)my bonding with the baby was disrupted by you and other staff

I’m being generous with this rating. I was in the fast track emergency department and it honestly felt like no doctor was there to really explain to me what was going on. I only had a positive experience because of Nurse Merlissa John. I have a huge fear of needles and she helped calmed my anxiety, made me laugh, and was consistently checking in on me to make sure I was doing okay. Very personable, good bedside manner, and was so sweet!! I hope this review reaches the right people and gets back to her.

This place is full of invalidting providers. I probably been to the ER like 10times and had to beg as they wanted to discharge me. I was sobbing in pain and then they tested more to find a kidney infection once. I recently went for 15hours and got told I’m fine and later in the notes read “patient said pain improved” I never said that, I was in pain and got refused to get a ride home even tho it was 5am. Will never go to the ER. Please please stay away from the behavioral center. None of the therapists or psychiatrists know about diagnosis. I had them read textbooks to help me and got told no one in the hospital was treat one of my diagnosis. And got called “entitled” for asking for a referral. All my concerns was ignored by the supervisor. I reported it and nothing. Got told it was my fault. I had to leave after being there for years. They disrespected all my boundaries and I wish I can write all the words and things I got told during treatment and as I was suicidal. Quite disgusting!! Train your doctors with PhDs apparently and get them trauma informed workshops. The amount of time I got told I didn’t knew my needs and they did. And got told my trauma was my fault which I believed for years. And to stop being a “victim” as I just got out of the psych ward. You don’t have to believe me or care about me but please don’t invalid someone’s pain and tell them to “move on” One therapist and I quote told me “If people in the holocaust could move on, you can too so stop talking about it” just so she could read from the textbook. I appreciate the effort but also frustrated I was teaching them my diagnosis and symptoms which they refused to believe. Thanks for ruining my mental health further 🥲 and needing further therapy to stop the words I got told to stop echoing in my mind.
