Positive Reviews:
2023: “I was in labor and in need of a repeat c-section because I wasn't dilating. This hospital was fast to get me in last minute and respectful of all my wishes. DR. Rojas is a very nice and respectful OB I wish I had him my whole pregnancy along with my midwife.”
2022: “I absolutely loved the nurses there in the labor and delivery they were all so helpful and so generous to me!! I want to say a HUGE thank you to my doctor!! Doctor Rojas is absolutely amazing I loved having him as my doctor he is very sweet and always puts his concern towards you and makes you feel very comfortable I couldn’t have had a better doctor then him!! Thank you guys, for everything!!”
2020: “I just had a baby on the 30th. The nurses and doctors were super nice and very helpful through everything. I recommend it.”
Negative Reviews:
2019: “I just had my baby here, and though the delivery went great and my day time nurses were amazing, there was too much bad about the night team to outweigh the good. It was established that my baby had a nursing problem and needed supplements for feeding, they let her go 6 hours before even coming in to ask if she had nursed or if she needed a bottle. I don't expect my needs to be put over everyone else's, but I could hear the nurses station going off with people’s room alarms and the nurses ignoring them. Not to mention the nurses I had told me information about another baby, getting me worried about her health, and then told me 5 hours later she was talking about the wrong baby. Maybe it was just my experience with my nurse, but it was awful.”
