Patient Reviews
-
"I had an appointment for blood work to be done at New York, Cancer, and Blood NY in Babylon on Tuesday, February 25th.
I was feeling very out of breath, exhausted, and lethargic at the time.
Dr. Richard Zuniga and staff immediately noticed and responded. They did some quick tests and called an ambulance to bring me to Good Samaritan Hospital.
They were all extremely concerned, helpful and very professional.
I was very pleased to see that Dr. Zuniga came to Good Samaritan Hospital to visit me yesterday to see how I was doing.
Much better thank you, but I will still be there for at least another day due to the RSV virus.
