Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast - Family Birth Place

"My experience giving birth as a first time mom in this facility was remarkable. My L&D and postpartum nurses took very good care of me. Shoutout to Peyton, Tabitha and Michelle who made sure that I am comfortable during the whole process and well informed of what’s going on. They are dedicated and compassionate nurses and they truly deserve recognition. For my doctors, I was seeing Dr Jones for my pregnancy visits but Dr Sledge delivered my baby. Dr Jones is a wonderful physician. She is knowledgeable and precise. Dr Sledge on the other hand, is very professional and calm. They made sure that my baby was delivered safe. Lastly, for my NICU nurses, I’d like to thank Gabby and Candace for taking good care of my baby. They went above and beyond and are very caring nurses. Thank you also to Dr Kumar for helping my baby and giving us assurance that everything will be alright. My only complaint is that they had me and my husband’s name wrong on our daughter’s birth certificate. Angie, one of the office staff, apologized for the inconvenience this has caused us and helped me with the process of amending the record. Overall, we will be forever grateful for the professionalism and expertise the staff showed in this hospital."

"My experience was terrible I was in pain for 6 hours, the nurses kept on brushing off the fact I was telling them I’m in pain, I was pulling my hair and punching the hospital bed with each contraction, I have low blood pressure if I was not on fluids I would have had a seizure which I’m prone to when my blood pressure drops, also the anesthesiologists put my epidural to low on my back that my thighs where numb but I was still in pain. I did not have bed side manners nurses that cared of my comfort, I also did not have any help by my doctor who delivered my baby either especially when I told him to stop sewing me up after I gave birth because I could feel him sewing me and it was very painful. I am now traumatized and have PTSD of my experience."

"Gave birth to my baby boy here- Incredible nurses helped me through everything and made sure my son and I were safe throughout the whole process. It was very clean and surpisingly quiet. They listened to me and created a good space for me even when I was having trouble communicating. They also gave me celebration brownies ❤️"

"Absolutely AMAZING! You definitely should give birth here if in the area. This place is like a resort, you’ll feel like you’re on vacation. I came from NYC just to give birth here. My last child was born in an award winning top tier hospital in NYC and that place can’t hold a candle to Ascension Sacred Heart Family Birthing Center. All the postpartum recovery rooms are private suites, like a little hotel room. Modern and very clean with a spa like feel. The care I received at SH is above and beyond. Everyone was so kind and genuinely caring, none of the nurses ever rushed or had an attitude they all seemed so happy to be there. I was attended to round the clock, I had a C Section and my baby was in the NICU. The staff made sure we never needed anything, they were right there providing outstanding service. The food is the BEST hospital food I’ve ever had. They even give you a prime rib celebratory dinner for you and a guest after you give birth. The other meals are of hotel/resort quality. Not the typical yucky boiled egg and jello you’d expect while in the hospital. You get a real menu with room service. I took a couple photos of my breakfast and lunch. So glad I came here, I wish I did it the first time."

"Great doctors and nurses…everyone was so nice and made my birthing experience a comfortable one. Grateful for Dr. Bakker, Dr. Tatum and everyone in between. The nurses are everything. Dr. Sledge was my OB throughout my prenatal visits and he also was great. Couldn’t have asked for a better team. I can absolutely tell you I had a great stay and I missed being there after I left. P.S. The food service was also great, the hospitality in general; 10/10. This would definitely be my place of choice to give birth again."
