Ascension Columbia St. Mary's - Women's Medical Center

"If I go to one more appointment seeking psychological help only to be told to call someone else I'm going to die"

"The OB/GYN clinic here is absolutely ridiculous. They just refused me service because I had my seven-year-old daughter with me so if you were a single mother and you might have to take your children with you to some of your appointments this is not the place to handle business. They don’t even tell you when you book an appointment that you can’t bring a child they wait until you get there and say children are allowed…Reschedule. I took off my last PTO day because I have been having complications with my birth control and needed it removed but they told me that that has nothing to do with them it’s policy which was not even stated that I wasn’t allowed to have a child with me so they refused me care. So if something happens to me can I sue them?"

"I was given a letter of recommendation from my doctor to see a therapist or psychiatrist at this location and was given the names of four different people to choose from. I called the place and they told me they weren't accepting new patients. They didn't even let me ask about the people I was told to ask for. Update: tried calling a second time to insist on speaking with someone who could help me figure things out and they ended up calling the police to my home to do a "wellness check." Anyone who works with psychiatric patients should know how dangerous it is to do that. With everything I've been going through to have the need to seek psychiatric help in the first place, I certainly didn't need to add cops standing outside my apartment with their hands hovering over their guns the whole time. I want a mental health professional that I can actually trust. Don't bully mentally ill people if you want to keep your rating up."

"I am currently pregnant with my 2nd baby. With my 1st, I went to Outreach and had a midwife and everything was great. I didn’t want to go through a clinic with this baby but honestly, I’m regretting not going back. This time, I decided to come to Colombia for my prenatals since I loved the birthing experience here with my 1st. First off, I have no idea who my OB is. I’ve seen multiple doctors every single time I’ve went and every time I follow up with a questions about my pregnant or a test result, nobody knows what I’m talking about. I check my MyChart all the time. I had questions but no one could answer. The nurse (bless her heart) told me to wait until my next appointment.. which was 3 and a half weeks out. I just want ONE doctor that can answer and keep up with my questions and concerns. Everything is so unorganized and I have SO MANY QUESTIONS that clearly are never going to get answered. I am currently in the process of finding a new hospital to deliver. Oh, and the number they give you to reach the on call resident, goes straight to voicemail. God forbid if you’re in labor.. you’re better off going to the ER."

"Gina & Patricia has been really great for us during the delivery of our baby. Both have not only cared for their job at hand, also connected to my wife emotionally. 1. Gina is knowledgeable, creative, and easy to communicate with. Genuine care! 2. Patricia has been a constant force with immense focus to deliver the baby the right way. Kelly, Mayra & Vicky has been awesome caretakers for both my wife & the newborn after delivery. A. Kelly was knowledgeable and gave us all-around help. Loves playing with babies. B. Mayra is super fun & you can tell she really loves her job. She reminded us how to take care of the baby in a fun way. And, how can I forget, she is a (long & nice juicy) burp expert. C. I gained tremendous respect for Vicky. 47 years of service taking care of families and newborns, she still carried around the fun personality of a beginner and the wisdom of a veteran. I could write many many more nice things about these special ladies, and all the supporting staff. But, since this is a review and not a magazine article, I will sum it by saying, Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You’re truly amazing!"
