Can’t find a website for the Valley Stream location but I was being examined by Dr Desai when all of a sudden he answered his cell phone and began texting someone. Is this what they call “putting our patients at the center of everything “? That type of patient care is despicable!!

This is specific to the MMC OB Center. If you are pregnant and are looking for the best care, please do not visit here. You and your child deserve quality service and care and you will not get it here. The staff handled my miscarriage horribly. It was evident from my first visit that I had already experienced loss. They had me visit daily, which now I know was to increase the number of billable visits. Don’t get me started on the billing department! The bedside manner was ridiculous. After the fetus passed, I had to go in for blood work and the nurse asked “why are you here? You’re not pregnant,” my notes clearly indicated that I just had a pregnancy loss. I could go on about the numerous missteps but this is already a long review. I implore you do your research and look for OB professionals elsewhere.

Community Services

Dr. Putnam in the ER, is a disgrace to all helping professions. He is arrogant, verbally abusive to patients, lacks proper empathy, derides individuals on Medicaid and states they should, "work harder" and "make something of themselves"... so they may drive a vulgar and ostentatious car like him! He is entirely incompatable, in every ppossible way, with the ethics, values, mission and vision of "Catholic Health Services". He should immediately be stripped of this affiliation! St. Charles Hospital will keep its rather poor reputation if they are foolish enough to keep such incompetence and unprofessionalism on staff.

Clinical Care Solutions

Dr. Rutman is repugnant and grossly unprofessional. He does not share the appropriate values associated with any organization claiming to be based in the ethics, morals or values of a "Catholic Health Service." His priveledges with any proper organization must be revoked!
