Newark Beth Israel Medical Center

My mother was under the care of the Gynecologic Oncology team and stayed on Floor 6 – Cardiac during her hospital stay. Our experience was deeply disappointing from start to finish. Communication from the team was poor, and we were repeatedly given false hope instead of clear, honest updates about her condition. The doctors failed to communicate with each other, leading to contradictory and confusing care. For example, the nutritionist expressed confusion about why my mother was placed on a liquid diet when she was asking to eat. During her stay, some nurses showed a lack of empathy and professionalism that no patient should ever experience. My mother complained about being left soiled for hours, though there were a couple of nurses who were kind and attentive. Her phone was stolen by staff while she was hospitalized, and despite reaching out to the Patient Advocate team, I never received a response or any follow-up. The room conditions were unacceptable. Her room was left dirty for days, with garbage and bacteria accumulating. Family members were forced to sanitize the area ourselves because staff failed to maintain basic hygiene standards. No patient battling cancer should be treated in such unsanitary conditions. Sadly, my mother passed away under their care. The lack of transparency, communication, compassion, cleanliness, and accountability we encountered was unacceptable. I am currently exploring legal options and have photos and videos documenting the conditions and neglect. I strongly urge anyone seeking care here to get a second opinion before it’s too late and to advocate firmly for your loved one at every stage of treatment.

I had my baby here on June 26, 2025, and it was truly the best hospital experience I have ever had. This was the birth of my fourth child, and without a doubt, it was the most positive and memorable experience I could imagine. From Labor and Delivery to the postpartum unit, every single professional we encountered was extremely attentive, compassionate, and dedicated. The gynecologists, anesthesiologists, nurses, and even the staff who assisted me with small but meaningful details (like the gentleman who kindly took me in a wheelchair to our car) showed professionalism combined with true humanity. I don’t want to mention names, because every person made a difference, and it would be unfair to leave someone out. What stood out the most was the kindness and genuine care expressed in every action. My family and I felt supported, respected, and cared for at all times. I thank God for the life of each one of them who helped make such an important day in my life even more special. Another wonderful highlight: the meals! Each one was delicious, fresh, and carefully prepared, which made my recovery much more comfortable. And to our surprise, the hospital even celebrated our baby’s arrival with a beautiful birthday cake — such a thoughtful and unforgettable gesture. I won’t be having more children, but if I were, I would choose this hospital every time. I wholeheartedly recommend it to every mom-to-be who is looking for a place where professionalism, compassion, and excellence truly meet.

My stepfather fell at the airport, broke his hip and had an emergency surgery at Newark Medical Center. He stayed for almost a week. Every single person he encountered during his stay was amazing! Surgeons, doctors, nurses, social workers, physical therapists, cleaning and food personnel: all the staff without exception was caring, joyful, kind, professional and went above and beyond to care for his needs. THANK YOU so much to all of you from him and from my entire family. I’ve accompanied family members at many hospitals and never before encountered this outstanding level of service.

Newark Beth Israel is an amazing hospital with some of the most caring staff I’ve ever met. From the moment I arrived, the team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and cared for. I want to give a special thank you to the nurses in the Emergency Room, Dr. Saber, Dr. Lopez, Jessica, housekeeping, dietary, transport, and all of the nursing assistants who made sure I was okay every step of the way. Their compassion, professionalism, and kindness truly made a difference during a very difficult time. I am forever grateful! ❤️
