Peconic Bay Medical Center

It’s been a year now since I got my new knee at Peconic with Dr. Sultan. I can’t express what a GREAT experience it was and is. I’m a nurse and was VERY impressed with the calibre of nursing care on the ortho unit. Really, they take GREAT care of patients! Physical therapy was great. So well that after I returned home, it was just a few weeks before I was able to drive, short distances, but drive! Dang! AND, they have this big re-​union party annually at East Wind. (We just did it, in the pouring rain) Even in the rain there were HUNDREDS of happy returning patients! What a great idea! Really, if you need a hip or knee, don’t hesitate, go to Dr. Sultan in Riverhead and get your surgery at Peconic Bay, you’ll be very happy and get your life back!!!

in the surgical orthopedic area, wonderful nurses, great staff, food is good but a bit salty for my tastes. hospital is clean and well maintained. surgical staff wonderful. seems like a country hospital so I was a bit nervous, but you get excellent care here, pain management is great, and no parking fees!

Stayed there for 3 weeks around thanksgiving 2013. It is by far the worst hospital I’ve ever been in. they let trainees do the work, they can’t put an IV in and they seem to only have 1 person that actually puts IV’s in, very sad indeed. They like to make sure they run every imaginable test possible to you in order to bankroll their account, I’m surprised no insurance companies have questions why they do the same scans & test every other day? Lastly if you need a nurse or help they are nowhere to be found and if you get a headache while there, you’ll suffer immensely. The food there was uneatable, they like showing a little film on the TV about how they care about your diet & needs and if there is a situation to let them know, well I didn’t eat for nearly 3 weeks, they kept bringing food I could not eat and when told about it didn’t care. If you need help eating for whatever reason, forget about it, you’ll just stare at the food, they won’t help. I was unable to move for a while and saw food come & go and when I was able to move told them I could not eat it due to heath reasons and they basically did nothing about it. As for medications you may take on the outside, they will take days to get you some of them regardless of its purpose, even then some of them you’ll never get. What they did give me for reasons of being there when asked what they do, they just told me to take it, after a while I refused to take anything until they fully explained what it was and even then 2 were found to be given to me for unknown reasons, then it was stopped. My only tip, go anyplace else buy there, a prison hospital or a POW camp gives better treatment. I’d rather bleed to death then every go there again.

Great hospital. ER is little slow but. Orthopedic dept great. Stuff is so friendly PA’s are good. Anna our physical therapist was great to us, so friendly and patient. And our nurse Vicki was great too. Pct Dara is funny and helpful. Thanks everybody helped us in my brothers leg surgery.

Excellent! fast service in the Emergency room. My son had a nasty wipe out on his dirt bike in and out X-​rays and all within 2 hours. Awesome considering they had 8 emergencies all come in within same time. Never had such a quick response in any other hospital.

A Hospital should be sparkling clean. This place did not look that clean. An example: The cafeteria food was inedible and the cafeteria tables looked filthy.

Good staff/​care for an East End location but the typical ER wait times and insurance nonsense. Shotty discharge work, at best, especially late-​night from the condescending docs & friendly PAs.
