I had a terrible experience today. I went to Bergen New Bridge Medical Center today because my teenage son urgently needed a ultrasound. The website says the place accepts walk ins. The woman at the front desk was utterly confused. She took 45mins to enter our information in the system, asked all sorts of invasive questions ( i.e. what was my son's sexual orientation). When I asked how long the wait would be, she said she didnt think long and then asked what time was my appointment. I told her...I was a walk in. The whole experience was unsettling. I took my son and left. Didn't even have the procedure done. Listen to the reviews and trust your gut. Take your loved one someplace else

Recently had to take my teenager and the inpatient stay was terrible. It’s like prison. No communication with parents. They didn’t care if child was upset or stressed. Medication changed and barely discussed a discharge there was just some random nurse that came to give you paperwork to sign so you’re weren’t allowed to get any information. I left a message for the psychiatrist to ask about the medication change and never got a call back It was definitely the worst experience of our life. I would never recommend it to anybody.
My mom is a resident at 11-5. She has been there for over five months now. We were very apprehensive in admitting her as she never stayed away from home. But to our pleasant surprise she loved the care and the staff. Last weekend she turned 95 years old and we wanted to celebrate the occasion. The whole care plan team including the Nurse Manager, social worker, recreation therapist, nurses, and everyone helped us to celebrate her birthday. It was an awesome experience and every staff deserves praise for the care and compassion they provide to our mom every day. Thank you all so much 🙏
This Place is an Actual Prison they will put you on a ton of drugs/ medications no sunlight prison food and they hope you go crazy so they can keep you their longer everyone in there is trying to escape. When I was there 2 years ago many other people in there with me said New York City prisons treated them better! Report them for abuse!
It is after an in-depth consideration, and reflection, that I adequately see exactly how instrumental the Recovery Center at BNBMC, has played a part in my recovery. It all begins with the staff. They are truly exemplary, and most proficient in their chosen fields. I feel that my words would do a disservice to put in prospective, how essential these CPRS played, not only in achieving sobriety, however more importantly, and more difficult to maintain my recovery. The personnel, the programs provided, the loving environment, and the overall sharing experience by the Peer Recovery Specialists, was not only foundational, but life saving as well. My heart overflows with gratitude to (no particular order) Christine, Gary, Lisa, Tina, Ralph, Melissa, Nathaniel, and Jayson. They are truly, prime examples of the type of individuals necessary to assure the afflicted, that there is hope, and a bright sunrise on the horizon of the darkest dawn. Their influence is so great, that I myself, as a person in recovery, is in the midst of ascertaining my certification to become a Peer Recovery Specialist. Thank you one and all, you "Angels of Mercy." Job well done.
