Banner Thunderbird or Arrowhead for Maternity Care?
Can anyone offer any opinions on either of these hospitals? Which one has better maternity care, more prepared for a maternity emergency, more comfortable delivery rooms, etc? I am new to the area and was hoping to get any reviews from people who have used either hospital to have a baby. Thanks so much!

Hi, I hope that you find a wonderful hospital with great staff, but of course I am biased, I work at Banner Estrella. My name is Jamie. I work nights. Feel free to email me any questions you have. A positive LD experience is my life!! (besides my kids!)

I have heard HORRIBLE things about Arrowhead. Although myself and all my friends live closer to Arrowhead hospital we all have chosen to go to Thunderbird. |

Awesome, thanks for all of your opinions. Being new to this area, I had no idea which hospital was better, so I appreciate your input. I know which one I'll be using!

I went to Thunderbird, and I was happy with it. I don't think the rooms are as nice and new as Arrowhead, but the reputation is much better for maternity care. Personally, that's what I care about!  |

I had one child at Thunderbird and one child at Arrowhead. I had an awful experience at Thunderbird and that is why I went with Arrowhead for the second. Now let me say my kids are now 17 and 13 so it has been awhile so either or both hospitals may have changed by now. This is just my experience. |
