I had previously shared a 4 star review for the labor and delivery department of this hospital from an experience back in January.

That was before my 9 month old was suddenly diagnosed with 2 rare congenital heart defects that this hospital failed to detect or test for, even after observing a murmur at birth. One was severe enough that we were not allowed home and were sent to the ICU immediately despite no observable symptoms (other than a murmur)

1 out of 125 children are born with congenital heart disease. It's way more common than you think. For the sake of your newborns please consider a better hospital (like Medical City Dallas) that has fetal echocardiogram capabilities. Or at the minimum make sure you ask for an echo to be performed shortly after birth to make sure everything is normal.
