Testimonials
You Don’t Have to Cross The Bridge
Elizabeth Brathwaite, Cancer Care
Cancer didn’t stand a chance against Elizabeth Brathwaite. With the help of her own indomitable spirit and The Brooklyn Cancer Center, Ms. Brathwaite saw the darkest day she had ever known turn into a bright future.
Ms. Brathwaite, a former clerk with District Council 37, New York City’s largest municipal public employee union, received her diagnosis in the summer of 2023: stage 2 triple-negative breast cancer, already spreading to her lymph system. “It was the worst day of my life,” she recalls.
Service That Goes Above and Beyond
Dallas Griffin, Emergency Room, Orthopedic Surgery
Brooklyn College student and dancer Dallas Griffin is a busy guy, and like many busy young men, he simply does not have the time for healthcare setbacks. So, he battled through ongoing knee problems on his own. “I had dealt with pain and the knee misaligning,” Mr. Griffin recalls. “Typically, I could work it back in place and keep going, though it certainly wasn’t getting better over time.” One night last year, after a physically strenuous workout, the knee locked up on him. This time was different, and there was no realigning or making it work.
For Convenience, Quality and the Intangible Brooklyn Vibe
Sandy and Louise Mattingly, Mammography, Primary Care
After living most of their lives in Manhattan, Sandy and Louise Mattingly moved to Brooklyn in 2005. It was for all the usual reasons — the kids had moved there, and they wanted in on the then burgeoning Brooklyn “vibe.” But, one thing they didn’t change was their healthcare. That remained Manhattan-centric even though their home was a block from TBHC.
Care Right in the Neighborhood
William Mandeville, OB/GYN, Pediatrics
“Kelvin is our first child so my wife wanted to deliver at a hospital close to home,” said William Mandeville. “I did some research and to my surprise I discovered that The Brooklyn Hospital Center (which was right across from our home), had all the modern equipment with some maternity rooms that overlooked Fort Greene Park. After hearing recommendations from trusted family members and friends, we went with TBHC to deliver our baby and it proved to be the right choice.
Healing Fast
Rick Schwab, General/Robotic Surgery
Rick was more than pleased with the outcome of his robotic hernia surgery
“My experience with hernia surgery at The Brooklyn Hospital Center was truly outstanding. From the moment I received the initial diagnosis to the follow-up care after surgery, I felt supported and cared for every step of the way.
