HealthAlliance Hospital Mary's Ave

My Fiance went there 12/31/18 to the ER where she was treated very well, Heart palpitations,, shortness of breath and high heart rate. They did all kinds of heart tests, and all looks good. So they send us on our way. Asked them to check her thyroid because Graves disease is in her family, said they don't do that in an emergency situation. Symptoms progressing, finally got to a thyroid Doctor !! In Albany and they couldn't believe they didn't check it out!!! Almost a thyroid storm at this point, might have to be hospitalized in Albany, this is life threatening!!!! Almost a month of suffering!!! Thanks for not checking ,Kingston Hospital!!!!

This place is hell on earth. The involuntarily admitted my daughter. The psychiatrist that made this decision hadn't even visited my daughter just based it on what they heard. When I finally spoke to Dr. Elsabbash he threaten to hand up the call because I was upset that he would make the call not after he visited the patient. I felt like he was not a doctor but a man with a ego that refused to be questioned. This place is not for living anything and when i get my daughter out I will have my lawyer. This is the worst place to send anyone with a medical need but they have done more damage to a already hurt person. I wish I could give them a negative star mark.

My son went in on Wednesday 19th and right away the service was great. The RN came took his vitals and she was friendly. Then there was a nun who came in and prayed with us. Then finally we got to meet the team that was involved in my son surgery. Long story short from start to finish the team was professional and friendly.

Inpatient at Mary’s Ave. Involuntary commitment. Was given absolutely zero instructions on what I was to do. I was placed into a dirty room with a bed with no pillow, paint chipping off the wall. Was asking for my lawyer and my husband. Was ignored and suffered from sore throat ( the initial reason I came to ER upon discharge found I indeed did have a virus) was given none of my medications for 24 hrs. ( Anxiety Medicine) obviously I was in extreme distress due to the fact the was no viable reason for them to hold me. My husband was angry. And I was afraid during our visit they would keep me longer. I calmly walked back so he could calm down. Then they still had not given me my scheduled medication. Under distress they had me sign papers folded in thirds and told me to trust them. I just wanted to leave. I was not aware of what I sighed. They immediately suspended ALL VISITS FROM ANYONE! And kept me for 10 days!!! My husband brought me approved toiletries and foods. THEY GAVE ME NOTHING AND TOLD ME NOTHING. I was issued, one towel, one shower wash, toothbrush small toothpaste. Deodorant chapstick three change of clothes for 10 days. Sanitary napkins without the proper underwear to hold the pad in place, so I soiled myself. They did not tell me how to wash clothes. I had to wash in sink. I was humiliated. They gave me no hair brush. My long hair was in nots. I had to use the end of my toothbrush as a pic. They would stand out side my door and speak loud all day and night insinuating things about my husband. They made statements about me doing things I did not do. On Christmas, I asked if I could have my prayer book to read. The refused. They had a preist on property. My husband told them I was catholic. The did not allow me my right to my religion. I was touched inappropriately by another patent. I was harassed by a patient. They had me with a 9 month pregnant psychiatrist. I had had a miscarriage on Christmas Eve the prior year. She was aware. And it was sad for me. Yet she still was very cold and unsympathetic. Dr. Graybar. One night I was in such stress I was crying so hard they had told me lies. I was in shock. A very cruel nurse Nikki cyberon cane and shook me very hard in my bed as I was feeling unconscious. Christmas Day, all the patients received stress balls colors adult coloring books and candy and other things I asked my roommate from where. She told me the staff. I got nothing. I was not even allowed a pen and paper until day 7 of the 10. And the last 3 days they moved me to a less prison like environment. When I asked several times what I did to deserve all this different bad treatment. No reply. I know I didn’t do anything. But as I’ve seen this hospital has had a couple of lawsuits. I am certain they have back up lies in files. The people here , Michael, Brian, B, Dr. Felix Amy, Sarah, Barbara, Peter, Jay, and all the others YOU KNOW WHO YOU WERE! ARE SOULLESS HEARTLESS MONSTERS FOR DOING WHAT YOU ALL DID TO COLLECT 60k from my insurance!!!!!! My mom ended up dying. You tooknA Christmas away I CANT GET BACK! AND WHAT YOU DID TO ME WAS NOT THERAPY!!! AND ALL I CAN SAY TO THE PUBLIC, DO NOT EVER GET YOURSELF STUCK THERE! YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!nAND WHEN THE HAD TO DISCHARGE ME( because I didn’t do anything wrong) they left me in a seedy motel on the side of the highway scared. But It was better than there! PRISON HAS TO BE BETTER THAN THERE! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU! YOU ARE THE BIGGEST DISGRACE IN MENTAL HEALTH!!!!

I didn't really like how they treated my friend
