1 /5 Kathy Rudolph: Had to leave a 1 star to even leave a review. I wouldn’t recommend this place to someone with a dog! This situation was a high risk preeclampsia, so we were placed in the antepartum “suites”. I was accompanying my niece who had preeclampsia and it was determined that she needed a c-section. First of all the room she was placed in looked like a barely furnished old apartment with a bed and a LOW side table that she could not reach! It wasn’t until after she had given birth the next day and they brought her breakfast that she ordered that I had to say. “How is she supposed to eat this, balance it on her sore stomach?! Then I had to go out to the nurses desk to say, “hey, she has no tall table to reach her breakfast! The nursing staff sat at their desk and “chatted” and came to check on her very sporadically. If I had not spoken up with questions I don’t think my niece who was extremely anxious would have gotten much information. I will cut to the c- section experience which was unbelievable. The entire time my niece was being operated on several nurses stood in a corner and talked amongst themselves about husbands and restaurants and various other topics of their personal life. While we (my niece and myself) were trying to hear what the Dr. was saying, we could not hear him over their very loud conversations! I found this so disrespectful as this time should have been focused on the mother and baby! It was as if she wasn’t even ther! I am and was so furious and I really could not believe what was happening! This was an emergency c-section! had to ask the nurse who was seated behind us monitoring the machines if she would tell them to shut up! After the baby was taken out of my niece, the Dr and nurses proceeded to talk about ordering lamb and buying a whole cow! I was so horrified and infuriated that this was going on! Mind you the baby was distressed and having trouble taking big breaths while the Dr was engaged in this conversation about buying a whole cow for meat! The baby had a deformity of his feat and it was conveyed to my niece in a very nonchalant manner as they said they were taking him to NICU! There were so many other issues because the baby was taken to All Children’s which is a different hospital in the same building. The staff at The Baby Place claimed to be ignorant of the rules and policies of All Children’s. Communication was non existent! I had to push for information which took hours while the mother of this baby was completely unaware of what was happening! This experience was unbelievably the worst I have ever experienced! I have been with 7 family members as they gave birth and I have never seen anything like this! Do NOT have your baby at this inept place! I am flabbergasted!
