Positive Reviews:
2023: “I've been meaning to do a review a long time ago! I had my son here in September and Dr. Walters is absolutely AMAZING. She was so helpful throughout my entire pregnancy. The days that I stayed in the hospital all the nurses were so helpful and checked up on me constantly asking if I needed anything. I had a wonderful team with me and greatly appreciate everything they did.”
2022: “I had no issues I delivered in august 2022. I didn’t tour but rooms were spacious and every nurse was kind.”
2022: “I loved my experience and BSW RR they delivered my first child and will be delivering my next. Everyone was amazing there and so nice.”
2021: “I just had my first baby last week at BSW RR and was thrilled with the care we received. Nurses and doctors were all attentive and super helpful.”
2020: “My experience with BSW labor and delivery is very good. They were very attentive even though I came in screaming, they patient and kind and attended to me right away. They were amazing, my doctor was awesome...I will refer anyone there...”
2020: “Had both of my children here and the Labor and Deliver ward is beyond awesome.”
2020: “I had all three of mine (between 2017-2020) at BS&W in Round Rock! I love all the doctors there and the nursing staff is amazing. You will be in good hands.”
2019: “All around awesome experience here. We spent 3 days in the labor & delivery section. From the moment that we walked in up until discharge, everybody was so nice and caring. The RNs that watch over you at night are great! Thank you all so much!”
2018: “I love the doctors and nurses at this hospital! Every time I had to go for a prenatal visit I was always treated with care. The appointments were easy to schedule and I never had to wait long to see my doctor. Dr Amy Chapman is an amazing OBGYN. She would answer questions at each visit, and respond quickly to MyChart questions. The delivery of my daughter was also at this hospital. The labor and delivery unit is small, but the delivery rooms are spacious. The cafeteria food options were not the best, luckily, I only had to spend one night in recovery.”
Negative Reviews:
2022: I had my daughter there in April 2022 and it was an induction. The rooms are really nice but I felt pretty neglected as a patient. They had their student coming in and checking on me independently to rotate me side to side. I was having 7-minute-long contractions and in a lot of pain. I asked them to check to see if baby was coming but they told me no because they had checked 30 minutes prior. Well, low and behold, I was crowning and everyone panicked because they didn’t know how long she had been stuck in my vaginal canal. It was pretty traumatic
2021: “Baylor Scott and white does not have lactation consultants during the weekend FYI. Would not give birth there again.”
2021: “I delivered there in 2021, and honestly had a terrible experience. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I had several complications, and had to go back 2 weeks postpartum for emergency surgery due to an infection along the 4th degree tear. I then delivered at St. David’s North Austin in June 2023, and it was night and day difference—the nursing staff and providers were significantly more attentive and caring. If you have the option, I would deliver here.”
2021: “I’ve had a baby at BSW and a baby at St. David’s and I will say that my birthing experience at St. David’s was much more comfortable and it didn’t feel as stressful, not to mention their food was actually really good. At BSW it just felt chaotic and I had a doctor aside from my OB help and he yelled at me when I was pushing because I was being too loud.
2020: “Never been very happy with this place. My first bad visit was when my wife was having pregnancy troubles. The lady got mad wondering why we were in such a hurry. Turns out my wife needed an emergency C section. Our second child we also came back. Some nice nurses but besides that, below par. Loud noises at all times, so hard time get sleep. Kinda like an old apartment building. Plus people coming in the room at random times, 2 to 3 times an hour. Plus called the nurse with the button and no one came. I had to come out and they got mad for me coming out.”
2020: “As soon as I found out I was pregnant I made an appointment with Baylor Scott and White. When I went in for my first appointment it was great, just dealt with a nurse and did some blood tests. Went to financial they gave me only one option. My husband and I went home and discussed the option which was outrageous. Pay $1000 a month until I deliver. Which I understand my out of pocket is my out of pocket and I have to pay it no matter what. But come on who can afford $1000 a month? I have a great job and so does my husband. After discussing this option, I called 3 times and left messages and my husband called 5 times and left messages and no call back. We went in for our next appointment to do an ultrasound (which I was so excited to finally see my little baby growing inside of me) and they told us our one option and that I had to pay the $1000 that day or I couldn’t do my appointment. I asked if I could just pay for that day’s appointment out of pocket and the lady said no. We called multiple hospitals and friends and they as well felt that this was outrageous and that Baylor Scott and White should work with us. During that second appointment we asked if there was any other option to keep moving forward with Baylor Scott and White the lady said no rudely. They lady even got extremely mad at us because we paid for the first appointment online and not with her. My husband and I are extremely saddened and disappointed by how we were treated and that they were not willing to work with us. I left crying and extremely upset. We went straight to another hospital and they were so nice and willing to help even though we did not have an appointment. They even gave me a tour of labor and delivery, which Baylor Scott and white never offered to me. This is supposed to be an exciting moment in our lives and Baylor Scott and White made it a frustrating, sad and horrible experience for me.”
