Our experience left us feeling uncomfortable
My wife received care here during her pregnancy in [2025]. We are an interracial couple. During Maternal-Fetal Medicine visits, I observed conduct that made us uncomfortable. For example, at one appointment, the physician touched my wife’s thigh while I was present, which did not seem related to the exam. At a separate visit, an ultrasound staff member made a comment to my wife in the waiting area that felt inappropriate. We also overheard staff discussing patients in public areas. Near the end of the pregnancy, my wife developed a heart issue with a very high heart rate. The initial medication given by the emergency response team appeared to worsen it, and a cardiology doctor later adjusted the treatment. Induction of labor was pursued; we did not feel we were given a clear choice or fully included in that decision. At discharge, we were told my wife needed to accept birth control before leaving, which felt coercive. We reported these concerns to Patient Relations but did not receive a resolution that addressed the specific incidents. I’m sharing this to inform others and hope the hospital reviews training on consent, privacy, and bedside conduct.

Their ER is terrible, specially to pediatric ER
My sons has bad asthma , called cough variant asthma , which is hard to detect , yet understand since he doesn’t wheeze . He could be in a HUGE flare up , which causes bronchospasms and cause him to go into a coughing fit. They completely dismiss him and his symptoms and even he (my child ) told the triage ( front desk ) nurses that he couldn’t breathe. They told me he looks fine and his vitals look okay so go sit -he isn’t priority. Even though he was having an exacerbated asthma. I was spoken to so poorly and this isn’t my first rodeo being here. I understand the ER can be stressful , but don’t dismiss what me, the parent says given I know his asthma history the best. If you can choose another ER for your child , please do.

Save yourself and go to a different hospital
I have lived all over the US and used every major health provider you can imagine and this is by far the worst. Have patients in halls so no privacy. Got to see way more than I ever should have. Not fun to be in pain and be stuck next to a drunkard sleeping it off. Did not review ER patient’s history so got ineffective medicine. Lucky the pharmacist caught it. Waited 3 hours for someone to bring patient to a scan. Babies crying in hallways. If something goes wrong they are trained to not apologize or show empathy. The worst hospital in the US I have ever been to.
