thanks,

We had 1 daughter at Arnold Plamer (Before Winnie Palmer came along), and 1 Daughter at Winnie Palmer. Aside from the fact that the hospital is EXTREMELY busy, it's the best place to be in case the "unexpected" happens. Just make sure you have an OB lined up and don't let the Students at Winnie Palmer handle the birth. Below are my 2 choices for the area:

Physician Associates

Physician Associates

I also heard Winter Park Hospital and Celebration are good for births as well.

I had a baby at winnie palmer in july 07. it was a horrible experience! The people in labor and delivery were awesome but my experience in recovery was a nightmare. I didnt have family with me at all times to stand up for me so at times I would not have a nurse come and check on me. I could not move. One time a nurse walked in, threw a bag food on the table and walked out. It took all my might to inch over to try to get to the table because half of my body was paralyzed by the medication I was on. Finally I had somehow gotten a grip on the corner of the table and moved it close enough to grab the bag, only to realize it had someone else's name on it. I hit the call button to tell them, the nurse came back, scowled at me for "telling on her" then left. She said I couldnt eat yet. What if I had eaten the wrong food? This is a hospital right? They could make someone ill by giving them teh wrong food. This meal was meant for a diabetic. That is only part of my bad experience with the nurse. They would not peform a circumcision on my son unless I called my insurance company to verify it was covered. Yes, while I was supposed to be recovering, I was making phone calls to my insurance company that i pay $600 a month for to make sure I'm covered for everything! When I told them I had called, the told me to call again and get a name of a person. Finally the nurse brought me a form to sign for the circumcision. It stated that somethign to the effect "sign here if the dr came in and spoke to you and you understand everything." Finally after being pushed around and treated like dirt, I wanted to grow a backbone. I told her that I will not sign unless the dr comes in and speaks to me. She sighed and stormed out. The dr came back, obviously upset that I pulled him away from some imporant task he was supposed have been doing to speak to lowly ol' me. When I asked him questions, he answered with an attitude like I wasnt worth his time. I was nice the whole time and thanked him. Now, 7 months later, I find out that my son's circumcision was performed incorrectly. Not enough skin was removed.
Also, I tried to tell the dr that I thought something was wrong with my son while we were in the hospital and the dr responded rudely "the reason your baby is crying is unfortunately because he is a baby."
I WILL NEVER HAVE A BABY AGAIN IN THIS HOSPITAL!!! I WILL GO TO FL HOSPITAL WINTER PARK NEXT TIME!
When I called winnie palmer to get a feedback form so I could tell someone about this experience, I was transferred around for 30 minutes, then told that I would have to come in to fill out a feedback card. They say not everyone gets a feedback form in the mail. Isnt that convenient??? Of course someone like me wouldnt get a feedback form.
