I had the most wonderful experience with a compassionate woman who is a master fitter at The Cingari Family Boutique her name is Lynore! I am new and scared on this lymphedema journey and Lynore was so very helpful and knowledgeable on all the things to make me as comfortable and successful as possible. Thank you so much Lynore, my visit with you was meant to be.Joey

I've had bad experiences at this hospital and dozens of others I've spoken with have had awful experiences. now I'm reading they are firing the staff who refuse to take covid vaccines. absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable! would rather die at home than go to Yale.

This hospital has no sanitation procedures in place. It’s filthy. My mom was there 8 weeks and I constantly complained about dried body fluids and filth. No sanitation at all. drs and nurses walk by the fifth and medical waste. WHAT ABOUT COVID disinfecting? They left a bloody used catheter on the floor for 3 days!!! Should that not be medical waste. Mom now in hospice with CRE caused by infection in her bloodstream from laying in her own stool. It’s clear by the fact no staff seems to mind it this is common practice. Filthy unsanitary hospital.

The whole choreography is just weird. You go thru this garage, go up a few odd areas, put your card in a machine, park, then get to security, then take an elevator up one flight, go over a bridge, go to another desk and walk thru the bldg to get to a bank of elevators at the cancer center. They give you no paper map, and people are lost. Some of the departments have great staff, others have no clue. One even did not put my new insurance info in. If you weren't in a bad mood already for having to be there, the coup de grace is that there is no longer validation for parking. In a cancer center? Is it Yale or New Haven that is bleeding people? Most of the services I've had to experience have been good with some notable exceptions. Some staff is not well trained or don't care. Others are very passionate and helpful. Most of the staff get 5 stars, some should get a giant smack on their heads.

The Center offers great care during the treatments and regular care visits. The problems, though, come during emergencies. You will not get compassionate care then and, in our case, a sense of being abandoned by one's "Smilow Team." I cannot, therefore, recommend them because they should be there for you at all times.

I waited 7 hrs in a small cubicle actively bleeding with multiple wounds from dogs biting me and they didi not clean my wounds or attempt to close them. I had dog hair still stuck to the gauze they put directly on my cuts. 15 minutes before I was discharged by the way in the middle of shift change between 6 an 7 pm when I was admitted at 230pm.

This is disgusting we’re supposed to trust your staff members when they believe that they should run over peaceful protesters. This man is not only a bigoted racist but he has threatened the very society that he claims to want to be canceled and four I really hope going forward you guys the terminate his employment.

Let me first say, as a physician of 46 years and a cancer patient for the last 11, that this is not partisan "political rant." It is a discussion entirely relevant in selecting medical providers, as that "choice"is inevitably bound to the outcome of the epic war over national medical care. Understanding the truth is bound to very survival as a society for us and our children's very survival. Much of what I say will be dismissed or vigorously discredited by a few sincere believers, but generally promulgated by increasingly desperate, s paid misinformation campaign, emanating from entrenched interests who are intensely engaged in creating a false consensus, perpetuating misinformation and fears, and outright lying. For we patients with cancer, the most vulnerable of all, know that struggle for access and quality oncology care for cancer services is dicey minefield of gaps and traps, not so much determined by the severity of the disease, or the competence of providers, but is entirely shaped by nonmedical factors. The best cancer evaluation and treatment is concentrated in a few heavily privately endowed major medical centers, which are generally superior to the poorly integrated privatized regional hospitals and their outpatient services which largely have bought out the competition of the shrinking number of private practices. Generally, these are the centers which seek to attract patients with good private insurance. Medical care quality is shaped by profitability determined by zip code in this little state with a huge polarized income disparity. A decidedly inferior medical care is parsed to the poor, the working class, medicaid recipients, the sizeable population with no or inadequate insurance, federally funded disabled veterans, military families, the Indian Health service, and are the sole alternative in areas with adverse social conditions. The dramatic merging of hospitals form hospital corporations, which maximize profits and cutting cost of patient care and professional staffing. The hospitals, the public, the doctors, the Treasury are targeted by the insurors, now just 4 or 5 are left, as they havhave eliminated the others. They a flush with profits and government subsidies, ironically provided to limit risk and promote competition, we were told. They employ armies of cost accountants who deny treatment with secret rules, restrictive drug formularies, imposing copays, cost shifting to medicaid and medicare. They limit access to providers, cut their time The huge cost of US health care entirely due to unreg Health insurers and drug companies collude their with subsidized huge corrupted private medical records industry & an even more voracious, unregulated Big Pharma, are protected by legalized payoffs to legislators, lobbyists, an policy makers, an irrational, in the world, which created the most costly, but, by far, the level of medical care of medical care of the developed world. Yale New Haven, decidedly has the best reputation, with its new facility and technology in our state, with its regional monopolies of three hospital corporations, all of which are run by non medical administrators whose goal is reward its capital investors, board, stock holders and company management's outsized compensation package , and limit liabity. Anyone who disputes these facts is being paid to do so. Rather than their rhetoric, just follow legislators' actions, which coinside with CPACs & big donors contributions. At best, Yale, noted for years as making a tiny footprint in its blighted city, before its incorporation, belongs in a second tier of care compared to medical centers in neighboring New York and Boston. But advanced Cancer treatment is now widespread participation in established multicenter diagnostic and treatment protocols and investor sponsored clinical trials for a fortunate few Superior treatment is available for those who are able to access it. However, the Yale delivery system is particularly hampered by instability and high turnover in medical leadership, a disorganiz

Staff was very nice! They allowed me to try on hats, explained insurance coverage as well. I ordered a wig and when it wasn't what I expected they didn't force me to purchase it! They billed my insurance directly, and gave me a complimentary haircut. I tried on many hats they explained why they had the selection of hats they were not for fashion rather to provide full head coverage for cancer patients. I left feeling much better about myself, and with skin care samples and great resources. Thank you to the staff, manager and the hairdresser!

Sorry to say that while the people are nice (when you get to see them) the schedule stuff is just dreadful. Spent an hour on the phone because they reschedules an appt. on me just into when I have tickets to be on vacation -- they promised a call back within 5 minutes to see if they could fix and 2.5 hours later still waiting for a call! Dreadful way to treat people.

I have been treated at smilow cancer center for the past year and I found that the doctors are quite knowledgeable about current treatments however I found that the both the MD's and staff, especially at the smilow Cancer center in New Haven were indifferent at best. I do have to say that when I received my 40 radiation treatments, it was at the radiation therapy department at shoreline medical center in Guilford and that team including the radiation oncologist were outstanding. They were professional, caring, and efficient, unlike the staff in New Haven. In New Haven, i waited 5 hours at my first visit. And the last visit I waited two and a half hours. During my last visit, I was never informed of the wait time and when I asked to speak to a manager after 1 and a half hours, I was told they had all gone home for the day. At every visit I saw the doctor for about 5 or 10 minutes there was never a review of systems and a very scant if any physical exam. With my prostate cancer I was never referred to any kind of physical therapy for incontinence issues and I was never told about any support groups or any nurse that would be able to help with problems or questions associated with my cancer and symptoms. Essentially, I was left on my own to fend for myself. In reading these reviews for the smilow cancer center, I find it very interesting that whoever monitors and comments on these reviews, only commented on the positive reviews and never commented on the negative reviews. I also found it very interesting that every comment to the positive reviews were a cut and paste with the same comment for every positive review. I think this is a pretty good reflection of how I feel about the smilow cancer center and their inability to deal with the person behind the cancer not just the cancer itself. As a medical professional for 22 years and working in several large hospitals including Yale New Haven Hospital, I would not recommend Smilow New Haven now I'm on the other side of medical care as a patient. Personally, I have dropped my care from Smilow and am traveling to Hartford for complete care of my cancer.

Depressing shop with dowdy hats clothing wigs and prosthetic bras on display that does not exactly lift the spirits of a cancer victim. The buyer for this boutique would do great choosing clothing for my grandma, but not me! Showed up on time with an appointment with the "fitter" who is apparently very busy and was kept waiting 20 minutes while she was on the phone ordering office supplies. Unfriendly staff. Great place to buy A rock that is painted with slogans like "God loves me" or cheesy bracelets with similarly trite sayings. You can take your prescription elsewhere, and there is a general gift shop in the hospital with a better selection of gifts.
