Patient
I am very disappointed with the Northwell cardiology unit. My mom has been trying to get a refill for her blood pressure medication and has encountered a lack of support and communication from the staff. After explaining her situation--that she recently secured new insurance due to a job change and couldn't make her annual appointment--she asked for a short-term refill to cover her until a new appointment could be made. Despite these circumstances and multiple calls from her pharmacy, no action was taken. When my mom requested an appointment, she was only offered a morning slot, which conflicts with her work schedule. She emphasized that she urgently needed her medication until she could find an alternative cardiologist, but was still left without a response. Now, she faces three weeks without crucial medication. This lack of empathy and urgency in managing a patient's well-being is concerning, especially from a unit that should prioritize heart health. I hope the administration takes this feedback seriously and works to ensure better patient care moving forward.
