No complaints here neither. ALL of the staff there was AMAZING! I loved them

I had 2 out of 3 at SMH. I cannot rave enough about the staff. The ER is horrible but the labor and delivery department is wonderful. One more vote for Dr. Polko and staff.

Delivered all three of mine at SMH. Last one in 05.

Well, I am the lone voice of dissent. I thought my delivery in '05 was okay, but nothing that blew me away.
In '07 I delivered again, this time it was worse. They took dd into the nursery to clean her up, as is usual. They didn't bring her back for, let's say, and hour. I called to ask where she was and they told me they were watching her for something or other (now I can't remember), and they would have her back with me in 1/2 hr. Well, I had to keep calling, and finally, three and 1/2 hours after delivery I got her back. I was so upset, but not in any condition to get up and march into the nursery. Needless to say, by the time I got her back I was bent out of shape with worry.
Additionally, during that same stay, my toilet plugged up. It took no fewer than three phone calls and some number of hours to get it in working order. I don't need to tell you how desperately needed the bathroom is in the days following a baby.
Perhaps I was just unfortunate enough to be there at a very busy time, but that kind of stuff tends to taint one's experience.

L&D is about the only thing SMH CAN do right. i've never heard anything bad about them but if you're still uneasy about going there Dr. Hotchkiss is in Waldorf and delivers out of Civista Hospital in LaPlata and he is a WONDERFUL doctor with a WONDERFUL hospital, he is highly recommended.

I've had a few friends deliver at Civista and none of them have had one good thing to say about it.

another forumite just gave birth there a few days ago

and I was there before delivery and not too long after

Now with that said... I dont have kids but I will say the staff was great! And I did like the set up and it felt secure. good luck and welcome

Have you had a baby there? Just wondering why you'd say that.
