St Catherine Of Siena Hospital: "My husband and I went to St Catherine’s for antibody treatment for covid.
As it turns out, we were not eligible, but I would have to say that it was a pleasant experience.
We did not have to wait long and everyone that helped us was great!
Greatly appreciate everything they did and what they were doing for everyone else." - Deborah

St Catherine Of Siena Hospital: "Great ER, Staff and Hospital
I recently went to the ER at St Catherine's of Siena Hospital and immediately the whole experience and care was far better than a experience we had two weeks earlier at Huntington Hospital. This is will now be our first choice for any Hospital. My wife was admitted and the nurse Elise on the 4th Floor was so compassionate and the Dr. Edgecomb was not only compassionate and caring, but spent the time with us and was very knowledgeable. Hospitals are not a welcoming experience, but St Catherine's is a 5 Star Hospital." - Mary
