Hoboken University Medical Center: "This is absolutely the worst hospital in the area. From the emergency room to the ICU, the quality of care is terrible. With high quality hospitals within the area, my advice is to avoid HUMC and go to a real hospital. " - Joe

Hoboken University Medical Center: "After reading some of the previous reviews I was very concerned about this Hospital. But thank God I had a different experience. This is a small hospital and to be fair I do agree that they need a little "TLC" on the building but nothing that would compromised their services or the patients. Everyone was very nice and helpful in this hospital. Emergency room was outstanding and on point.
My wife had back surgery with the world class surgeon Dr. Ramesh Babu. A day later she walked out of the hospital on her on feet!. The service from the doctors to the anesthesiologist was top notch!
A special thank you to all the nurses and staff of the 6 floor! Your are unbelievable professionals. And we have no words to describe how grateful we are for the way you treated us. You really do care for your patients!!! " - Ed
