Palomar Medical Center Escondido Birth Center

"If I could rate this no stars I would! My girlfriend was given the worst treatment 03/17/23 03/21/23, during her c-section she asked for anesthesia and the anesthetist said no! We were still billed for it. During postpartum nurses were nothing but rude, she would call for help and the nurses would take so long that I had to drain her catheter most of the time, her sheets and pads would be bloody that I had to change her plus the sheets cause the nurse wouldn’t come, when the nurse came she was like “oh I got here late oh well. When the nurse was inserting the catheter she was super harsh my gf was screaming in pain until a different nurse overheard from another room and had to come do it correctly. We had called the lactation consultant Teresa, when she walked in she said “ what need painkillers” in the ugliest tone as if she was an addict when she just had a question about breastfeeding. Patricia was the only nurse who was ever helpful but she was only with us for 1 day. I called Palomar to make a complaint, they said I would get a call back and still have not. They sure are good at sending you bills and calling to make sure they get paid."

"Birth unit was amazing. I have never met such caring and attentive nurses. We have a new son! Thank you Palomar health."

"It's Christmas day and I'm on the 8th floor maternity unit. I've finally been in a room for half an hour with not a single contact. I'm here for reduced movement, swelling and severe pain yet not a single nurse has even hooked me up to monitor my baby or me. Such poor care. If something is wrong with my baby and it could be caught they're not going to catch it because they're to busy ignoring me."

"Pretty good. I was birthed there and yea no problems"
