Our Commitment to Care
Patient Satisfaction Matters to Us
How’s your stay? Are you getting the care you need? Are your doctors and nurses listening and responding to your questions or requests? Our goal is to provide the best quality care. To do so, we ask for feedback from patients like you.
During Your Stay
Please speak with your nurse or nursing supervisor if you have any questions or concerns about your care. If your issue is still not resolved, then contact Patient Experience at (212) 434-2095. You also have the right to file your complaint with:

After Your Stay
Once you leave our care, we will continue to seek your feedback through the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. The HCAHPS survey is a tool to measure and report patient satisfaction. It’s made up of simple questions on key care topics such as:
- doctor and nurse communication
- medicine and discharge information
- staff responsiveness
- overall quality of the hospital environment
If you’re selected to receive this brief survey, please take the time to complete it. The results will help us know what we’re doing right and where we can improve.
Ethics Committee
If you or a member of your family has a health care issue involving an ethical concern that cannot be resolved by a member of our staff, please contact the nurse manager on your unit and request to speak with a member of the Lenox Hill Hospital Ethics Committee.
