Gave birth to my first child here and I did not like my experience. After giving birth naturally, I had to get stitches. While getting stiched I felt everything. I yelled and told the doctor I can feel it and that it hurts. She told me she was going to numb me. She continued and I still felt the needle. The following morning I had trouble getting out of bed (exhausted from pushing for so many hours) I called for assistance 3 times and no one came after 30min. I struggled on my own to the bathroom. My son later on that day had jaundice so they held him in another room under a blue light overnight. I went to visit him and I asked one of the nurses where (amongst 10 others) was my son. She said she didnt know and to look for him. (Despite giving her his name) So I finally found him after going up to all the different babies and reading the names. The following day a nurse came to bring my son, I happened to be in the bathroom and she kept knocking and rushing me so she can verify the numbers on the bracelet. The ONLY thing good was the nurse that helped me push. She was sweet, kind, and patient. She taught me how to push and taught me breathing techniques.

I was in the emergency room waiting for about an hour, there was about three or four people ahead of me. They had me take a urine sample while I waited. When I went into the ER the nurse took me to a room an put and IV in my arm to draw blood, I have a big problem with needles and politely made her aware of that. The IV was left in my arm for the next five hours while I waited, attached to nothing just stuck in my arm. They had made me take another urine test because the first had been used for a pregnancy test. The fourth hour I was in the hospital, I overheard the nurse telling the Dr how long I had been waiting just to get my kidneys checked. The Dr came in and told me that from the urine test there was nothing wrong with my kidneys, I asked about the blood they had drawn from me and they wouldnt answer me. It took another hour and a half just for them to discharge me, they hadnt seemed very busy, the drs and nurses mostly just seemed to talk to each other rather than care for other patients. I have no idea why they took my blood, they wouldnt tell me why. I am never going to this hospital again.

TERRIBLE HOSPITAL. I was in the ER hallway for almost 12 hours. I had to talk to their staffs in front of other patients (in the hall) & I also overheard other patients personal medical issues (Im pretty sure thats HIPPA violation), some of their staff were nice while others were RUDE. They did not offer me anything to eat, I had to ask. They gave me a ham sandwich that had nothing on it. Yuck!! The ER bathroom was disgusting, there was blood and piss stains on the toilet seat and floor, ugh. Ive worked at 4 of the top hospitals in CT(Yale, Danbury hospital, St. Raphael & St. Vincent hospital and Ive never seen any of their bathrooms or staffs that nasty). One last thing, I was Told by an ER doctor if I needed an extra day off work to call back theyd be able to extend my leave, when I called the ER HEAD NURSE said no she couldnt do it because I wasnt physically there, maybe the head nurse needs to sit with the doctor to explain that to them. Overall, this hospital is BAD. No wonder theyre not listed as one of the tops hospital in CT.

Emergency room is absolutely horrible. Each doctor there has a different agenda and theres zero communication between them. Cleanliness is sub-par. I had to bring my postpartum fiancé there multiple times in the same week due to some complications from her birth and the treatment was cringeworthy. She was there for 12 hours and then went HOURS in between a nurse/doctor to check up on her. It turned out she had a severe illness that could of killed her and they sent her home saying that they felt comfortable with the prescription they gave her would work. To our better judgment, we decided to drive to Yale-New Haven hospital for a second opinion. If it wasnt for that, she could of had permanent damage from the illness or worse could of passed away from it. Thanks to them, I had to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas in the hospital away from our newborn son. In my opinion, youre better off taking the drive to New Haven where you will get treated properly the first time. I will never bring any of my family to that hospital again.

There was three other besides me and my girlfriend waiting and it took 6 hours. They let a bunch of people ahead of me with just a cough multiple times. My gf who hates needles had an I.v. in her arm for 5 of the hours with nothing attached and no blood taken out. Then they pretty much just sent her home. Me I got decent treatment till the second shift nurse who woke up pissed for some reason came storming in and didnt listen to me or the doctors. As I was telling her whats wrong she shhhd me and sent me to a lady asking for money like a drug dealer and not listening that I have insurance and I shouldve been covered last time I came then she would listen either so that was it. Got nothing fixed and they suck horribly. If you want additude, nothing done for you and possible zika have a blast me Im gonna stick to urgent care

In my opinion they shouldnt even get one star. I had my girlfriend admitted there on Monday August 21st 2017. Currently they are holding her against her will because she asked to leave AMA because shes feeling much better and they told her she cant. I thought it was against the law to refuse somebody their right to leave the hospital if they make the decision of their own free will. Some people may even call that kidnapping. Theyre treating her like a prisoner and I dont understand why because they wont give me any answers. I have repeatedly called the patient rights Advocate and they have not returned my many calls and many voicemails after a week and a half has gone by already. I just need some answers.

Once we were seen the experience was fine. We did have to wait 3.5 hours to have him xrayed. It was unsettling to see over 10 other people come in after us and to be soon ahead. It was explained that the wait time is based on the injury and availability of physicians. Rating 3 star as the care was good, but the wait times and lack of updates was hard to get through, especially for a younger person.

My mom has a blood clot in her lung...from the emergency room staff.....cardiac/pulmanary unit and then to the ICU all the staff....doctors..nurses...ptas and transport have been gentle..efficient...explanatory...thorough...and patient and understanding and the hospital is spotless with updated equipment...a very positive experience so far ....5star rating!

I normally prefer Waterbury hospital over St. Marys. But this morning I got the worst doctor ever. He had a problem with his listening skills. He said it doesnt make since you are in pain. Well you get hit by a pick up truck and tell me your body is not sore all over. Not to mention the 5 Hou wait to see his sarcastic self.
