Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women

"Physician/Staff(Nurses) were very courteous, knowledgeable and very professional!! Overall my 1st time experience was very positive(Good vibes)."

"This hospital has declined a lot since having my own children 18-19 years ago. My daughter came in to deliver her first child in mid August. She went in at 3 cm in active labor and was told to wait in the lobby. After around 2 hours her water broke while in the lobby and she was given a pad and underwear and was told to clean up. W/in the next 30 mins she vomited in the lobby and then was taken to the back to a triage area. W/in an hour she delivered her daughter w/o a epidural, meds for delivery, nor a MD. It was a student. Her md was never called after we asked several timed if Dr. Dorsett was aware that her patient was in labor. The nurses here lack compassion and do not follow protocol. After working in the health field for 17 years I was apalled and saddened. Everything that glitters is not gold."

"My labor and delivery experience here so far has been the absolute best! Aubree, Dr. Melrose Blackett and his team did their BIG ONE when it came to delivering my baby. I was super nervous about having to get my baby vacuumed out of me but they handled everything so quickly and professionally. If I could rate 10 stars I definitely would!!! I love them and I am so glad I came here!"

"My son (4)?had surgery here had his tonsils and adenoids removed he had to stay the night in the PICU because he has severe sleep apnea and the nurses was amazing to my son and also to me they took great care of him and they also checked on me and made sure I had everything I needed. I’m so happy we changed his ENT doctor and he had his surgery here. It was a great experience for not only my son but me also everyone was so sweet and worked as fast as they could to take care of my son I wanna give a special thank you to Meredith, Cassandra, Dionna, Michelle, Danielle and of course Dr.Beckford for give my son the best care!"

"I delivered my baby girl on May 30th. All of the staff was friendly, introduced themselves, answered any and every question I had thoroughly and made me feel safe and secure with my scheduled c-section. They also were very attentive to my requests when my daughter was born and her blood sugar and oxygen levels were lower than normal and I asked if I could hold her for a second before they took her away to be monitored and they let me have that time with her to see if her levels regulated by skin to skin (it sadly did not, but I appreciated the care and opportunity to do skin to skin). The security levels for the labor and delivery levels were top notch and all the nurses were polite. My husband and I were exhausted as new born parents (of course) and they came in once to do some paperwork but found us all sleeping for the first time since we had delivered and let us sleep. The nurse said it was the sweetest thing and she didn’t want to wake us. I will never forget my experience and appreciate everyone that made my experience enjoyable."
