My wife and I had our first baby at UTMB Galveston.

Kitty, our nurse on floor 7, was knowledgeable and helpful, and literally saved our baby's life. He began coughing up amniotic fluid, which is apparently pretty common, and he was literally suffocating. I ran him out to the hallway where Kitty turned him over and began giving him baby CPR (basically slapping him on the back to get him to cough it out). She then explained a TON of stuff to us and made me feel a lot better about my situation and how to handle some baby issues. She taught my wife and I how to handle the baby if he begins choking again.

The rest of the staff was helpful and courteous. Nobody was really rude or anything. Even the lady who came in to help clean our room was sweet and talked with us a bit.

UTMB Galveston is situated in what is probably one of the ugliest cities in the country, but don't let that fool you. 5 stars here.
