UMC Family Birth Center

"I gave birth to my 2nd child here and absolutely LOVED it! My doula Cara was amazing. The rooms were clean with enough space for my family to maneuver. If I ever give birth again, it would be here."

"Delivered a baby here in December 2022, and received excellent care. Best of my 2 hospital birth experiences by far. Very caring and competent nurses. UMC offers classes, doulas (free w hospital, but book ahead), and lactation support."

"I gave birth last week at UMC's Family Birth Center. This was my third baby, but my first to be born in Lubbock. I would've rated my experience at the hospital my first two children were born at as "excellent", but my experience at UMC takes the cake. I was blown away by the incredible care we were provided, and especially impressed by the education provided. That was something my first two births lacked - patient education. I would highly recommend this hospital for any birth, but especially for first-time parents. I wish I would've had the resources and help UMC provided me the first two times around."

"My wife and I welcomed our little baby this week and we had as great of an experience as we could’ve had. Everything was explained thoroughly and helpfully and we were taken care of so well! And we couldn’t brag enough on our nurses! (Jo, Candace, Marissa, Norma, Bekah, Shawna ) as first time parents they made this experience so much easier than it should’ve and they helped us above and beyond! So thankful!"

"They say this birthing center has a high rating but I had a horrible experience here. If you are looking for supportive birthing staff, look somewhere else. I was bullied, lied to, and manipulated during my whole labor. The anesthesiologist was on a power trip and wouldn’t even let my husband in the room for the c-Section. This was my fourth baby so I know how patient are supposed to be treated and they were awful. The only positive was the postpartum staff. They were very wonderful. I am still processing the trauma and abuse from the staff here. Wish I could go back in time and make a different decision."
