I had my baby at this hospital and wish I done more research on this place. When I first got there to get prepared for my c-section they put me in a room that was dirty all the way around. The bathroom was nasty and you could tell it had not been cleaned in a while. There were soiled Linens in the bathroom which is just disgusting. The room was so small you could only fit one other person besides me in there.
I also wish i had had a better understanding of their Hospital policies and practices because I was very upset to learn they are not Advocates of breastfeeding. I never saw a lactation specialist while I was there and even had trouble getting a breast pump sent to my room. I suggest if you plan on having your baby at this hospital that you do your research so that you are not disappointed. It seems that the different departments there have a very terrible time with communication. I had a couple good nurses but was definitely not impressed at all. Needless to say even in an emergency I will not choose this Hospital ever again.
