subject: Hospitals In New York, Usa [print this page] New York's top hospitals are the first choices of notables and celebrities. US presidents have their favorite hospitals and Hollywood stars check into popular health centers for a detox or rehabilitation of bad habits - from drugs to sex. But like everywhere else in the world, New York hospitals have two faces.
The better hospitals are always expensive. The alternative is to endure the long lines in public hospitals. But tourists have the option to seek better hospital services or go to private practitioners for consultation. Do not expect though that you can see the doctor when you make an appointment - that appointment might take months before the doctor can actually see you. That's how busy doctors are.
If the doctors are that busy, then expect the same with big apple's hospitals. The suburb hospitals may have a slower pace yet just the same; you have to be there early. Fortunately all emergency rooms attend to the seriously injured so don't expect medics to attend to you immediately when you want a broken finger treated.
There are also several hospitals run by religious dominations that manage up to a thousand beds. These hospitals have impressive facilities and experienced and skilled doctors. For more information about hospitals, check the American Hospital Association is saying about them.

For emergency treatment, New York hospitals have their emergency rooms ready 24/7. A taxi can take you to the nearest hospital unless you specify a particular hospital. You pay as you go or you use your travel/health insurance or you use your credit card to pay for the medical services.
