so far my military hospital experience has been great, the only prob Ive had is getting my apt when i need them, but thats because my doc is furthering his education and has unavailble days. I go thru the family practice not the ob, so I always have the same doc, and he goes out of his way to keep it that way

I`ll be going to a military hospital and am less than impressed with their level of service. I had my daughter at a non-military hospital with a civilian doc and the standard of care was much, much higher. Luckily I`ve had a healthy pregnancy and since I`ve been pregnant before I kind of know what to expect. I`ve heard so many horror stories about the hospital that I`m going to that I will be making sure to let them know that neither I nor my baby is a pin cushion and we do not want the students `learning` on us. So far it`s true, you get what you pay for and since we`re military and pay nothing what we get is pretty much nothing.

I delivered my daughter at a teaching hospital and was very pleased with how things went. Everyone was very professional and caring from the doctors and students to the nurses. Everything was done perfectly and the epidural was awesome. It was such a good experience that I chose to go to another teaching hospital this time around. We had moved states so I cant go to the same place as I`d like, but so far this new place has been just as good.

I went to Penn State`s teaching hospital, and had a great experience. I saw my doctor in a satellite office for regular check ups and it was just my doctor. But when I hemorrhaged at 28 weeks and landed in L&D by ambulance, it was great to know that every doctor in that hospital worked under the same Penn State practice as my regular doctor and I felt like I had many people looking out for me. I stayed in the hospital for 16 days before I hemorrhaged again, and much worse at 30 weeks. The doctors who were on duty I had never met before, but they treated me wonderfully, and acted like they knew all about me b/c I had been discussed during their rounds. After the c-section, the doctor and student who preformed it invited me to come see them for my 6 week pp b/c they wanted to remove the enormous fibroid that caused my problems. I had to wait a couple of months for that, but the doctor himself called me at home on a Sunday to ask if I had any preference for scheduling the surgery!

Also, my son was in the NICU for 38 days since he was born at 30 weeks. He had a team of neonatologists assigned to him, He was cared for on a daily basis by a neonatologist, a graduated pediatrician working on her neonatology fellowship, AND a resident pediatrician. (In addition to excellent nurses) I was VERY pleased with our decision to work with a teaching hospital.
