If I could give ZERO stars, I would. We requested our Placenta to be retained when checking into the Labor and Delivery room. The hospital told us everything we needed to do to get the Placenta, EXCEPT that we needed to sign a paper to make sure it was retained and not thrown out. So we never got the paper and they threw away our placenta. Good thing it wasn't the baby. Also they talked down to us for not giving our daughter the Hep B vaccine or Eurythmicin eye cream (even though we told them that our doctor would be giving all the vaccines in a couple of days. They also spelled my wife's name wrong on the birth certificate and never gave us the verification paper to sign off saying everything was correct. When we got the birth certificate and our name was spelled wrong, we went to the hospital to get it fixed, and they wanted $20 to fix it! I had to basically scream at them telling them I signed nothing that spelled my own name wrong, therefor I'm not paying to have it fixed. Finally they did it, but my goodness what a mess. Dont go here.
