The People Who Make the Difference
You come to Maimonides for the expertise, but you’ll remember us for the people. Our doctors are leaders in their fields – many trained at the nation’s top institutions – but they never lose sight of the person behind the condition. And our nurses? They’re the heart of this hospital, offering skill and compassion in equal measure. From the moment you arrive, you’ll find a team that listens, respects you, and genuinely cares about your recovery.
Technology That Heals, Not Just Treats
Medicine moves fast, and we make sure you benefit from every advancement. We invest in technology that makes a real difference:
- Robotic Surgery: For procedures that require incredible precision, leading to less pain and a faster return home.
- AI-Powered Diagnostics: Helping our doctors detect disease earlier and with greater accuracy.
- Telemedicine: Because sometimes the safest, most convenient visit is from your own living room.
- Electronic Health Records: Your care team always has the full picture, ensuring seamless, coordinated treatment.
Beyond Medicine: Caring for the Whole Person
Healing isn’t just about procedures – it’s about how you’re treated as a person. We believe in open communication, clear answers, and involving you in every decision. That’s why we offer comprehensive preventive health packages, efficient outpatient services, and we actively listen to your feedback. When you see our patient satisfaction scores and read the stories of recovery, you’ll understand – this is a place where people truly heal.
Recognized for Excellence
We’re proud to be accredited by The Joint Commission (JCAHO) – a gold standard for patient safety and quality. But the recognition that matters most comes from the families we serve and the awards we’ve earned for excellence in cardiology, maternity care, and community service. It’s confirmation that we’re on the right path.
Your Care, Your Budget
Worrying about money is the last thing you should do when you’re unwell. That’s why we work with all major insurance providers, including Medicare and Medicaid, and offer transparent billing and cashless treatment options. Our financial counselors are here to help you navigate costs, so you can focus entirely on getting better.
A Partner to the Community
Our responsibility doesn’t end at our doors. You’ll find us out in the neighborhood – hosting free health screenings, running vaccination clinics, and partnering with local organizations to support our neighbors who need it most. We’re committed to a healthier New York for everyone.

As an academic medical center, we’re constantly learning and teaching. We train the next generation of doctors, run clinical trials, and collaborate with leading universities. When you choose Maimonides, you’re not just getting today’s standard of care – you’re getting access to tomorrow’s breakthroughs.
