I had my baby here and there where some cons and pros. Security for labor and delivery is very good. You can only access through locked elevators and they require your info before the elevator is approved up to a secured waiting area. The valet parking is directly in front of elevators. Labor and delivery rooms are very big but also very outdated, the entire dept is very outdated. The beds are extremely uncomfortable just a warning. I felt my nurse was nice and attentive but breached my privacy during the birth, I had told my nurse ahead of time I wanted no students during my birth and she ignored my requests and her and my obgyn brought in EMT students during the middle of me pushing my baby out and convinced me to let them watch, they knew what they were doing and it was highly unprofessional. I was not impressed with the nurse who took care of my baby after he was born as she waited over 12 hours to give him his bath and his skin became irritated and cracked and bled. She wanted to wait bc according to them since I was gestational diabetic his bath could affect his sugar levels and they had to have a few readings before they could give him his bath, my question is why did I never have this issue with NKC Hospital who gave him his bath right away and also took my babies levels with no problem. Also one nurse kept having a malfunctioning glucose monitor and kept sticking my sons heel with a lancet when she should have ensured her machine was working or gotten another, my kid is not a practice dummy, he actually feels pain. Pros was the food was really good especially their omelets and quick to arrive. The security for postpartum floor is more lax and should be tightened up as I saw several instances where people walked in behind other groups without being vetted. Rooms are very tiny but they have nice views if you get a window (not all of them have windows just fyi) and updated which is a welcome change from the depressing outdated labor and delivery floor. I think St Lukes needs to dedicate a more modern department or build a whole new building for labor and delivery and postpartum. Also my anesthesiologist was subpar. He was a resident and came in with his supervisor and I should have known that was a bad sign. He only numbed half of my body so I might as well had not gotten the epidural, yet he was very nonchalant and I would say even cocky while doing the procedure as if he knew what he was doing.
