Anyone have experience with SLR Hosp?
I am trying to get opinions from anyone who has delivered in the past at St Lukes Roosevelt Hospital.
I was originally looking for a doctor who is affiliated with Methodist Hosp. in Brooklyn - but a doctor close to my job came highly recomended and she delivers at SLR.
By the way - I am switching doctors so late becuase I had to change insurance carriers.
TIA!
Re: Anyone have experience with SLR Hosp?
I delivered there July 2008. I was planning on the birthing center there, but it was full when I went into labor, so ended up on L&D. I'd be happy to answer any questions and give you a detailed report, but would rather not post it on the message board as it isn't all positive. Send me a PM if you'd like more info.
I think much of it depends on your OB.
I delivered there & probably will again the next time because I love my OB & that's the only hospital that she goes through, however... What tova said was pretty much true for us too, although we were lucky enough to end up in a recovery room on the same floor as the birthing center. That was great b/c we got more personal attention, but my roommate was AWFUL. We have decided that it will be worth the $750/night to get the private room next time. I also had difficulty w/BFing & found the staff less than helpful. Next time I'll know exactly what I need to do though & I won't be afraid to be forceful with my wishes.
GL!
