The fact that this hospital has 3.1 stars is absurd. My wife and I are from Iowa and were on our "babymoon" when she started having contractions at 31 weeks. We selected this hospital because it was covered by our insurance.

This nursing staff was beyond amazing, we have been here for two days at the time of this review. The nurses are incredibly personable and check in on time and relay information effectively. Talking with other people in the antepartum unit, they also have the same to say of nurses.

The doctors take the time to answer questions and make sure you are informed about what is happening. We had two doctors and a resident caring for my wife. They explain that every morning they have group meetings and confer with other doctors about their patients. So in essence, there are between 8-10 doctors that review each patient.

I cannot speak to the other departments of this hospital, but if you are in need of birthing care, you would be hard-pressed to find a better healthcare provider. My wife and I are beyond thankful for the professionals at Meriter Hospital!
