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.
Happy and Free
Lorenzo Phillips, Bariatric Surgery
Changes in habits and mindset help this bariatric patient find success
“Before my surgery, I was just too heavy, and it felt like nothing I did made a difference. I was at my wit's end — I just couldn’t get any smaller. I was trying everything,” said TBHC patient Lorenzo Phillips. “I’d eat a plant-based diet, try a program like Weight Watchers or exercise more. But I'm older now, and I just can't keep up with that pace.
TBHC, your community hospital, a family affair!
Tyrana Carter, OB/GYN, Hospice, Ambulatory Care, Pediatrics
What does TBHC mean to you as a community hospital?
“I’ve had my ups and downs at TBHC,” said Tyrana Carter. “I had both my babies there. One was born in 1981, and the other in 1990. I had a great experience — it was the best hospital at the time, and it’s where I decided to have my kids.
