October 23 I experienced extremely severe lower back pain. At 3 pm the pain was so intense I went to the Emergency Room at ELIH. The check in staff were open and friendly and quickly completed my admission papers. I was turned over to the ER nurse, Angela who took history and vitals. Quite efficiently and with compassion towards my pain. Christopher Edelstein was in charge of ER desk and listened intently and informed me of the possibile conditions. He immediately ordered a technician to perform a CT scan of my body. Knowing my family and medical history of aortic aneurysms he ordered further testing. The discomfort from the procedure was apparent to the Tech and he tried his best to comfort me. Christopher then ordered ultra sound testing. Laura Nagida performed a series of ultra sound tests which required considerable time. All thru these procedures Laura was very very patient and understood the pain I was experiencing.Her professionalism truly showed off her great ability to keep a pained patient comfortable. start to finish I want to thank all the ER staff with their technicians. Fortunately the condition did not require overnight stay at the hospital. Elliot Levine

I fell down wooden stairs,don’t remember how! I was visiting family in Shelter Island. Call 911 They were there in 5 mins. They took me over on the ferry. Nurses and docs attended to me right away I had a bad head trauma, they had a scan done on my brain, no internal, so he cleaned and stapled 4 inch gash on Rt side of head in no time. Wonderful nurses and Doctor!

We were at ELIH emergency room Saturday night. They saw my husband immediately who was having a sever peanut allergy reaction. The CAT scan technition was sleeping at the hospital and got a report back within 5 mins. They administered the drugs to calm the reaction and called in a surgical team who all traveled very far in the middle of the night. Despite my husband arguing not to have a breathing tube inserted they talked him into it (which was no easy task) and saved his life. They did a tracheostomy and then transferred him to Stony Brook. Everyone from the ER doctor, nurses, technician, surgical team, ICU nurse were such professionals and all around lovely people. We will be forever thankful to all of them. I sleep easier knowing ELIH is our local hospital.

Made me feel at ease about my medical problem,Happy staff caring they listened to me ,made me feel important.

This hospital is very clean, and you feel like you are at home.

My mother had very high blood pressure and a bad headache. Brought her to the ER. They were quick and considerate, kind and professional, thorough and personable. Did all the tests and quickly got her BP down. I think they averted a possible stroke. Thank God, and thank the ER staff at ELIH!

I had come into the ER with an injury while I was visiting Long Island this summer. There was little to no wait to be seen and the nurses, staff, and doctors did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable and providing excellent care.

I had severe pain in my right side which turned out to be a twisted ovary and a cyst In my fallopian tube. The staff in the ER were attentive and compassionate. They decided that surgery was necessary and wisely advised me to go to Good Sam. I would highly recommend this hospital.
