This is the worst women and infant hospital I’ve ever been to. I’ve been bleeding since 11am this morning at 9 weeks pregnant I got here at 12 noon and it’s now 6:07 I have not been seen by a doctor or a nurse. Unbelievable. The fear of thinking my baby is dead is killing me right now but I have no choice I must stay to find out. Personally I dislike this hospital for making expecting moms go through this emotional trauma. This is what it has been all day. That door opening and closing with no names of the expecting mommies being called. Change the system.
My wife recently gave birth to our daughter and the whole team at Women and Infants was amazing. The nurses and midwives did an excellent job of watching over us, answering all of our questions in detail, and letting my wife decide what was best for her. I was really impressed with their professionalism, excitement to share what they know, and general kindness and care.
Once our daughter was born they did an excellent job of offering lactation support and consultation. They even have a breast milk donor program where we could request as much milk as we needed, since most women aren’t fully lactating right after delivery. They also have a nursery that’s available periodically so we were able to get a decent amount of sleep the night before we were released. I felt really fortunate that our daughter was delivered here.
Is it possible to give zero stars? My friend’s daughter gave birth last week after a very healthy pregnancy to a beautiful 8 pound boy via C-section. Today, my friend’s daughter is in the medical examiners office having an autopsy after a completely botched, post C-section hemorrhaging. My advice- take the time and go to Boston. My friend is now making funeral arrangements for her daughter.
Birth and ideas about what constitutes a "family" have grown leaps & bounds thanks to W & I...I grew up a stone's throw away but now the stone would be as unnoticeable as the consistent expansion.
That's as commendable a high, as the Lobby Art...Low and lower: A visitor thought he was lost at RIH & 3 Phlebotomists couldn't find a vein to draw from... Color me Proud and Shocked with Disappointed Sprinkles
Today I had a procedure done at the ambulatory surgery center of the hospital. From start to finish everyone that I encountered was friendly, courteous, caring, and professional . The nurses in the preop area were great. My anesthesiologist “Marie” put me at ease and I am a retired anesthetist! The endoscopy nurses (and Dr.) were all wonderful, especially Leslie (?) who was so comforting. Same goes for PACU. My pain was addressed immediately and everyone was friendly and helpful. Excellent staff!
I would not give birth here again. While I had some great nurses and the doctor who gave me an epidural was amazing, there were some issues I had with a nurse.
After having my epidural, I was told I needed to flip from my sides. The nurse I had with me overnight told me I needed to flip over and would not help me, I struggled so hard that I pooped myself then she refused to clean me, I would have done these things myself if I wasn’t paralyzed from the waist down. Mind you the previous nurse I had early in the night was excellent and helpful, this woman was being straight up mean to me and refusing to do anything. I don’t understand why I wasnt being overly needy or rude to her at all, it really just seemed like she did not like her job and was just showing up for a check, which is a shame because you are dealing with the most vulnerable people.
Also hours after giving birth I could not pee at all and was in excruciating pain, I begged for a catheter and it took over an hour. Once put in they were amazed at how much urine was in me. She told me I had over a liter of urine in my body. If I had not begged they would have left me like that and who knows what damage could have been done.
The staff here have been neglectful of my pregnant wife since the minute we got here. Her water broke at 9 in the morning…and i mean full on broke everywhere like her stomach was half the size. Also, she is a knowledge freak so she readup on so much of pregnancy to know that she was having signs that there might be some sort of infection bc of the smell and color and so on im not a doctor but it seemed legit to me. Well that didnt matter bc we got to the hospital in like 20 minutes and they made us wait no joke for 5 hours after we called ahead and told them we were coming that my wifes water broke and she was having contractions. After waiting for forever they just kept telling us “were super busy today sorry” but then i can see them joking around doing nothing im the area where all the computers are RIGHT NEXT TO THE BATHROOM. When we finally did go into the room the first nurse was great this review has nothing to do with her. Dont remember her name but she had a jersey accent and looked about 25-28, she was super helpful and nice. The next two overnight nurses were nice as well but u could tell rhey were new so not knocking them either. The next lady, russian accent nurse , super skinny with curly hair, started out super nice but after she left for a lunch break came back and was jjst brutal. My wife would ask questions and she would get an ego, my wife has never had a kid and was asking what might seem like basic questions but she would say “just listen to us we know what were doing” and basically in a roundabout way told her to shut up. We asked her about the car seat if were supposed to take it in or what happens next and word for word she said “dont worry about that u wont remember” my wifes epidural ran out and could feel everything literally crying bc the pain (shes 5’2” and had a 9.7lbs baby) and asked 5 times for more pain meds and she said again word for word “i already ordered it what do u want me to do they will come when they come” to a woman who has half a baby head sticking out…Also just gonna throw this in there that im by no means a doctor but i can read a graph. Ur patient shouldnt be telling you when its time to push or be left alone in the room for 3 consecutive contractions bc u want to leave the room for who knows what. I single handedly had to wrangle her legs and all that and try to replicate what i saw her doing. My wife is super shy and cares about privacy and all that and was super clear she didnt want random students or extra random people in the room but then they asked her if a student could come watch but made it sound like he would be doing it and he was rhe only one it was legit word play to be sneaky. The first doctor who was covering for a couple hoirs didnt really do anything but the doctor who gave birth to her santa maria i believe was good. When she was born the real kicker was rhat russian lady gave another comment to top em all. So some bigger lady who was super nice from the lab wanted to do some tests. So russian lady first weighed her and then gave her to the lab people for about 10 minutes. When we got her back she asked her how long she was. Usually from what i understamd, they weigh them and measure their lemgth at the same time. Nope she goes and i quote again “you had her the whole time how. Would i weigh her” as we legit didnt have her for over 10 minutes and she was the one to take her like brother…the audacity if this lady who was so nice before lost all respect from us. The people upstairs in post partum have been great, best part of the experience and the nurses up here have been the most helpful. They did so much for my wife that im not going to go into detail about (you get the idea of a woman who had a major tear following a big baby birth) they also restock us with whatever we need.
I recently had laparoscopic surgery at women and infants, and it was truly a great experience. The nurses were so kind and the OR team was amazing. They made sure I was comfortable the entire time and Dr. Sullivan explained everything to me beforehand to ease any anxiety I was having. I met the whole team of people who were assisting with the surgery, including med students who were super friendly. Everyone was so kind and the surgery went really well! The recovery nurses were also very nice and made sure I was comfortable when waking up from anesthesia. Women and Infants has the best medical team of any hospital. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
