The Brooklyn Hospital Center

““Each of these incredible people delivered excellent medical assessment, knowledge, and clinical skill with soothing support, care, humor, and kindness,” she says. “We felt well-informed and taken care of during a very scary time.””

““The staff was extraordinary,” Laura said. “One of the doctors from the ED even visited Mark in the PICU. What a sweetheart!””

“If you come to TBHC, you will not be disappointed.”

“I can tell you this about TBHC: I recommend it to anyone and everyone because we've got excellent doctors.”

““I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Brooklyn Hospital Center to anyone in need of surgical care.””

““Now, six weeks later, I feel like my old self again. I've been diligently following Dr. Milone’s recommendations for core exercises and taking extra precautions to prevent any future issues. I can't thank him enough for his expertise and compassion throughout this journey. He truly is a brilliant and trustworthy surgeon.”

““The post-operative care I received was just as remarkable. My wife accompanied me and she was impressed by the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. During my recovery, I attended follow-up appointments where Dr. Milone ensured that my incisions were healing properly and gave me instructions to help recover fully.”

““Leading up to the surgery, I was understandably nervous. However, the hospital staff went above and beyond to alleviate my fears. They provided clear explanations and reassurance and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. On the day of the surgery, everything went smoothly, and Dr. Milone skillfully repaired four hernias—one in my navel and three in my groin.”

““When I first learned about my hernias, my urologist suggested surgery, considering my active lifestyle as a photographer. After discussing my options and seeking advice from a friend who knew the hospital well, I decided to go with TBHC’s robot surgery program, because the recovery would be faster and with less chance of complications. It was there that I met Dr. Luca, who recommended laparoscopic surgery to address my hernias.”

““My experience with hernia surgery at The Brooklyn Hospital Center was truly outstanding. From the moment I received the initial diagnosis to the follow-up care after surgery, I felt supported and cared for every step of the way.”

“My health has gotten much better and I’m looking forward to a longer, happy life. I’ve recently become a grandma. I get more time to enjoy my family and watch my grandbaby grow up because bariatric surgery gave me years back on my life.”

“Being home was hard the first four months. It was tough work and a lot of self-control. But then the weight just peeled right off! Everybody who sees me is like, “Oh my god!” Now, I refer all my diabetic friends to the Brooklyn Hospital now for bariatric surgery to manage their diabetes.”

“It was a six-month period to get my surgical date. I was nervous but with the help of the TBHC Weight Loss Center , it was great. Post-surgery was tough at first. I was in the ICU four days after the surgery because of my diabetes, but I went home on the fifth day.”

“Today, I am 137 pounds and my diabetes is much more manageable and under control. It’s not gone yet but I’m only using 5 units before meals and the highest my sugar has ever been is 200. I should be off insulin soon and onto oral medications.”

“I had uncontrollable diabetes and weighed 205 pounds. My blood sugar was 500 to 600 every single day and I was using 60 to 80 units of insulin per day. Most of my family had died from diabetes and, before the surgery, maybe I had 10 years left in me. Getting this surgery was my only option.”

““Thanks to TBHC and the Weight Loss Center, I can finally be the healthy person I was meant to be.””

““Thanks to TBHC’s Weight Loss Center , I had privacy and support the whole time. The staff was attentive, friendly and respectful.”

““TBHC is not stratified healthcare, it’s real and it’s a representation of the incredible community it serves. I enjoy sitting in the waiting room and seeing Brooklyn in the house.””

““For me, it started with convenience and grew from there. It’s an intimate environment, almost small-town. I’ve been seen by heads of departments as a patient. Their manner is amazing. Friendly, professional. They spend time with patients. And it’s a one-stop shop if you have other needs beyond your primary care,””

““Then TBHC renovated the breast imaging suite, and the facilities were even nicer. The results were fast. The patient portal made it convenient,””

“After surgery, I felt stronger and hopeful!”

“Before surgery, thanks to the chemotherapy, the tumor had shrunk from the size of my thumb to something they could only see with difficulty,”

“From the security guard to the receptionist, the people were so pleasant. Cancer is a traumatic experience, and they helped me deal with it. Plus, it was wonderful getting such great care without the inconvenience of going to Manhattan,”

““I would confidently choose TBHC again as my family continues to grow. In fact, we now bring our baby, Kelvin, to the Pediatrics Department, and are as equally happy with that care!””

““Our experience at TBHC for the delivery was nothing short of exceptional. The entire team provided exemplary care, demonstrating expertise and a genuine concern for my wife, Evelina, as well as our baby’s well-being. I really appreciated everyone’s friendly demeanor and the time they took to address all of our concerns, even the admittedly silly ones. The process felt personalized and supportive.”
