I'm going to need more time to gather my thoughts. But no one should be saying things like "it's enough to make you end up in butler" suggesting I was going to end up there or "they're gonna have a domestic over a bagel" referring to me and my husband hours and also days after you deliver your baby!?!? So 1-2 days postpartum and this is what they're saying? or my favorite "you should Watch your tone or he's gonna leave you" in the labor and delivery room when inserting themselves into a discussion between you and your husband about not feeling supported during your whole pregnancy. Way way way inappropriate. So much more to say when I have the time. Just had a baby. Need to care for her and myself.

Was looking forward to our first visit with the Dr. With my daughter she's 19. We checked in with a very nice lady while I was waiting for check in to be done we were informed that I would have to wait outside by the elevator. I asked very politely if I could go in she is only 19 and nervous Shannon ( I believe this is her name I asked for her information ) she rolled her eyes and was rude looking at me like I was asking for 10 family members to be in the room with her.
I understand covid and all the risks we take every day. 1 person to support your loved ones it's been 3yrs and it's not going anywhere. At appointments like this and other special appointments they are being taken away from us.you maybe your love one. My Grams been in and out of the ER this last week and st.joseph said we could have 1 family member to support her. That's fair. Obviously this office has other experiences that haven't been good because 3 stars. Shannon could have been nicer and at least tried to see if I could be there for my daughter first visit with the Dr. Being pregnant can be scary.

If you want surprise medical bills and price gouging, then I highly recommend going to Women & Infants. They scared us into doing a second ultrasound by saying there were some abnormalities with our baby, despite everything be fine. What parent wouldn't do a second ultrasound to support their baby? However, it costs an extra $750, which you only find out a month later. Having a child is expensive enough. I was born at Woman & Infants and I do not recommended working with this hospital or anyone in the Care New England network.

I had to come to the ER last night due to some excruciating pain I was in. Though the wait a little longer than normal (I completely understood especially being short staffed everywhere in health care at the moment) everyone was extremely nice from the moment I checked in to the moment I left. Dr Brown and his resident made me really comfortable with the exam they had to do and answered every question I had. All the nurses were beyond nice all apologetic for the long wait though they did not need to apologize I felt my problem was addressed properly and I was well taken care of.

We had such an amazing experience at this hospital on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day when she decided to arrive. Every single person we encountered (and it was dozens) was helpful, respectful and kind. From the doctor who delivered our baby to the staff that cleaned the rooms and kept us fed. BIG shoutout to all the nurses / lactation consultants. As a first time mom I am super grateful for everyone who took part in the delivery and care in the first few intense days of my baby girls life. Highly recommend.

Delivered both of my kids here and have nothing bad to say. Everyone was professional and helpful. The rooms were clean, and comfortable, the food was good, the care was great. Thank you for all that you do for everyone!

Had our induction date set for 12/29. called to see what time, said there wasn't any time, we have to wait for them to call us, then why give a date. very unacceptable. Husband took time from work because we had that date. Do better. We understand short staffed, and covid but there's always better ways to communicate, especially with expecting parents. Being high risk to them isn't high risk. The staff has been good. communication is horrible
