I delivered my baby there 6 months ago. I had good and bad experiences.

The good was for sure and followed by a huge THANK YOU to Karlee Musgiure and Sam Weiss. These two helped so incredibly much and went out of their way to comfort me during a really rough delivery. I will never forget your great work and humanity.
The staff (besides a couple exceptions but they are everywhere) is very nice and tried everything that I can deliver my baby naturally...I came in as an emergency and we tried different positions and pushing for hours with no success and then tried vacuum and ended up in an emergency C-section. But the staff tried everything to comfort me during my whole stay.
The hospital is very clean and pretty at least what I saw. And the location in the green is beautiful.

The bad: I felt unheard and ignored a lot. Although I made it clear that I wanted delayed cord clamping and my placenta, they ignored it...While being in labor the doctor filled out my paper that i don't want the placenta ad he wanted me to sign and i said that i do want to keep it and he said i shall sign now and he'll change it back...he never did. I was super cold during labor and couldn't stop shaking, so the anesthesiologist pinned me down to get my blood pressure but he pinned me on my IV( i told him that it hurts but he ignored me and said he needs my blood pressure) and i couldn't move my wrist for months as a result. I thought about talking to an attorney for that and suing the anesthesiologist and also mentioning the incident with my placenta and delayed cord clamping which is even with a cesarean possible as i was informed later. I already missed the birth I wanted and that made it even worse. Also when I was in the O.R and we still tried naturally birth I layed on my back and I couldn't breathe...the epidural and my baby pressing on my organs and me pushing...I panicked and said I need to get up or at least lay on my side...no one reacted or helped...worst was the anesthesiologist who acted like I was exaggerating. Later he admitted to my husband that i probably couldn't breathe because of the epidural and my position. If they would have listen to me to get off my back I might have been able to deliver naturally but I slowly got unconscious and weak and so they had to do a cesarean. I didn't even get to see my baby till later.

The food is awful and not really any options for people with allergies or vegan diets or anything healthy and fresh.

If they would listen a little more to their patients and respect their wishes (like Kalee and Sam, again thank you two so much) and get a better menu with more fresh food for people with different diets, then I would give 5 stars.
