Don't do it. They are surviving on reputation from 20 years ago. Terrible experience with my first. Second one we went to the one at Memorial city mall and it was first class all the way. Go there.

Delivered our twins there and spent 4&5 weeks in NICU. No complaints here at all other than a random fill in nurse we didn't like once during that time. Everything else was good.

Wife and I had 2 kids there. Haven't had a lot of hospital experiences but unsure what the beef is with that place. Both times the visit was as comfortable as I might expect from a hospital and the staff was attentive enough. Not exactly a new and modern building but it was fine.

Visit here. And nowhere else.

Had a good experience there with our youngest, but that was 4 years ago.

It was good for us 9-10 years ago. Haven't been there since.

We did too Jake!

Didn't realize I was at an #LOLpoor hospital!

The place is fine. OP probably saw a couple too many Mexicans for their personal sensibilities and made some assumptions on the quality of the place.

The room was something from a Hitchcock movie. This is how I imagine hospitals looking like in Soviet Union. To be fair, my only other point of reference is Texas children's which is far superior in every aspect.

Wife's OBGYN is an attending there, so both kids there. Hospital is fine if a bit dated. Nurses are absolutely A-list.

Each hospital has its pros and cons. I've seen a disabled child at Tx Children's that was not very well attended to and she she died moments later after I kept telling staff they needed to do something. They were not in any rush. I guess they didn't recognize the severity of the situation like i did. That made me rethink taking my kid to TX Childrens ER.

Another hospital in Waco, I'm pretty certain my grandfather would have died if I hadn't came in. That's another small story.

Nothing catastrophic happened there but the nurses pretty much all had thick accents so hard to understand at time, they weren't all that nice, rooms sucked and hard for me to sleep in and God forbid a new dad go home to get sleep. Plus it costs $14 or so in valet fees to leave and get food.

Memorial City hospital was much better and State Fare is downstairs.

Stories pls

You ever tell a woman in labor that she gotta walk from the garage cause you're not gonna valet so you can get a burger from Guys Meat Market tomorrow?!

Two at Methodist and one at TCHP4W. Both were top notch.

How about some details? What about it makes you conclude it's 3rd world dump?

It's cause all the yuppie women's had their babies in bathtubs so TEXAS women's had to expand their net for clients.

My ex had a C-Section with our second there. Post partum was fine but she got an infection after we left and had to go back in to a regular room with no nursery care for the newborn. That was one of the worst four day stretches of my life.

My youngest was delivered at TWH. No complaints about the staff, but we were forgotten about in the private rooms that you can pay for out of pocket post delivery. Wife spent 3 or 4 days there, they basically didn't realize we had reserved the room for the first day or two. Admin made up for it by cutting my bill in half when I had a chance meeting with one of the administrators on the elevator.

TCH is a different story - my oldest had to go there a few years back for what turned out to be nothing more than strep that the attending at our local ER wouldn't bother to look at because she was below age 4. We spent 10 hours at TCH, 4 of which were waiting in the lobby because it was beyond overflowing with people - most of whom were non-English speaking and likely non-insured. Finally got to a room, saw the nurse pretty quickly after getting the room. Didn't see another soul on the medical staff for another 5 hours, and that was only after I lost my sht and went and hunted somebody down. Very disappointing experience.

My wife is high risk so both boys were delivered there. The doctors and delivery nurses were great (along with the NICU nurses) but some of the postpartum nurses left something to be desired.

The facilities are not the greatest looking but I wasn't there for the aesthetics.
