At 35 weeks pregnant I originally came here to do a VBAC consult after 10years. I came in and met a Dr. Lense (super great guy) very gentle, explained everything fully, discussed options and success rates of VBAC with me. Very optimistic in this procedure. Very patient oriented. Made me fee super welcome and I was given a tour by a gal named Elizabeth- RN, she was great and the facility is beautiful! At 39 weeks I returned with pain and discomfort to be checked to see if I was in labor. During this visit I was taken back immediately which was great and the nurses were polite. After about 10minutes a Dr. Stacey (something, dont remember her last name) came in to do a vaginal exam. I informed her the midwife I see told me the cervix is further back than normal and that I was 4cm dilated last week. She went to do the examination and hurt me so bad I balled my eyes out! Ive had 100s of exams from men and women in the past 10-12years and NEVER have I ever experienced this much pain, not pressure and discomfort like normally expected but serious pain! I dont want to be vulgar but she "missed" upon entrance of the exam .....and then twisted and shoved vigorously the entire time with stating she couldnt reach it... HORRIBLE!!! (But my midwifes measured me on the inside at 4cm last Tuesday when she was stripping me. And measures every week all the girls there... no one ever hurts me like this and can always reach thecervix. Ive had students at the doctors office do a wayyyy better job.) When shift changed I then got a new Dr. Yessin Ashmaway... great news? NOOOO! This guy was worse. He pretty much argued with me the entire time about the VBAC. He wanted me to sign the papers for c section again and told me ALL the risks with the VBAC. Its like he already had it set in his mind what he wanted to do. (Now before I hear: "well hes the doctor he knows best") I want to point out the fact that he hadnt even asked about my c section 10years ago...he didnt ask us anything about what we wanted, our birth wishes, why we wanted that... or how we felt. He was committed to doing what he was regardless of how we felt. We I didnt want to sign the c section form the entire visit from there I was treated like I was just a non compliant patient... when he stepped out I told the nurse that during my last c section my bladder was damaged during the surgery. She told me that I should tell the doctor that. She left to inform him at that point of what I told her. About 10minutes later the Dr came back in with an irrateted look in his face sits down looks and me and says "so whats the deal with the bladder, tell me about that" I explained to him what had happened and what I deal with everyday in regards to that surgery 10years ago... and his response to me: " well natural delivery will cause more damage to your bladder!!" WHAT??!!! Are you kidding me.. its like at this point you are literally going to tell me anything to do a c section ... bags were in hand at this point. I will NOT deliver at this hospital regardless of how clean and pretty the facility is! You do not care about the patients wishes... just another Dr pushing for something easier to make more money for himself with no regards to the parents of the baby.

Im having a horrible experiance here so far. Its been 10 days and I havent been treated for what I was transferd here for. The over night nurses are wonderful but the day nurses cant seem to handle their case load at all. If I press the call button it takes at least 40 min for them to get to my room with my much needed pain meds that they are already 30 to 45 min behind on already. Not to mention the doctor that comes in everyday and cant answer any question I have so gets upset with me and leaves. I feel like Im just laying here and my tumor is getting bigger my the minute. I wouldnt let my dog be treated here.

Great experience here. Was in hospital for 5 days when I delivered my baby and all the nurses were fantastic. In particular, a nurse by the name of Bonnie who works in labor and delivery was phenomenal. I went through a lot during delivery and she was so on top of my care, and had great bedside manner. You can tell she really loves her job, and caring for her patients comes so naturally. Wish I could have brought her home with me!

Had a baby here, and it was an awesome experience. All the staff was so nice and the facility is beautiful. Our delivery was uncomplicated but we were comforted to know that, should we have needed it, all the services were there.

I had my first mammogram here June 2017. The technician was extremely caring, friendly and helpful. I wish all of my medical appointments were like this!

Staff and facilities were nice though price gouging is worse than other local hospitals. Avoid if possible.
