  The absolute best birthing experience I could have hoped for. The nurses were heaven sent. I felt like it was a 5 star hospital stay.

  Long waits, inattentive staff, long waits for help, discharge took forever and was really un efficient. I’d recommend going just about anywhere else

  Wow what an experience. My first birth took place under the care of their team earlier this week and have nothing but excellent things to say. All the nurses were kind, patient, assuring, helpful and attentive. The midwives, residents and attending doctors were all so engaged, communicative, and compassionate. We loved our room with sunny windows looking over the courtyard. Our birth plan was respected, our comfort was prioritized and the staff supported our decisions while offering us all the info we needed to make some new choices along the way. I never felt rushed, and wound up not needing inductions because they gave me the time to progress. Shout out to nurses Karen, Jamie, Katelynn and one other who helped me in the late night hours! To the resident doc (I forget spelling) pronounced like “Sigh” and another with an F last name and breads. lovely!!! As was our delivering Mid wife Maria who also gave us awesome counter pressure tips early on and helped through the final stage when we met our baby girl! . To our gyno who we got to see at the hospital as well the night before Amy Stoddard, for being wonderful through our pregnancy. 6 stars for the team. Thank you.

  I had a great experience delivering my baby via C section here. The doctors did a great job; they were all professional, communicative, and helpful. Everything has healed very well too. We are very thankful for all of the nurses along the way. We felt very well taken care of at every stage. I will never forget the nurse who listened to my fears about getting induced vs C section, and who held my hand in OR before my husband arrived. Forever grateful for this pleasant experience!
