Patricia Macias

Critical Care Emergency Room & ICU, Dobbs Ferry Pavilion

“Quite simply, there is no rating system or “check off” box that would allow me to express the deep gratitude I hold in my heart for all the doctors, nurses, and professional staff who cared for me during my recent two-week stay in the hospital.”

One Friday evening Patricia Macias a ear and jaw pain along with severe chest pains. She quickly realized that she required medical care and needed to be taken to the emergency room. While she lives in New Rochelle, Patricia insisted that her sister drive her across the county to St. John’s, the hospital she preferred. Upon arrival in the St. John’s Emergency Room she was rapidly assessed by the Medical Team of physicians, nurses, and nurse practitioners. The physicians explained the seriousness of her diagnosis with a great deal of concern and reassurance and quickly admitted her into the ICU.

Although the recommended treatment was a relatively new procedure, the specialists – Critical Care and Cardiology physicians – impressed her and she knew she was in the very best hands! Today, Patricia has returned to her family and work, and is feeling much better. Patricia remains thankful that she chose St. John’s; not only for the excellent care, but also for the warmth and compassion she received. “Quiet simply, there is no rating system or “check off” box that would allow me to express the deep gratitude I hold in my heart for all the doctors, nurses, and professional staff who cared for me during my recent two week stay in the hospital.”
