Re: Stony brook hospital
Thanks everyone. I'm in the process of finding a new OB because I don't want to deliver at the same hospital, this is really helpful.

Re: Stony brook hospital
I switched at 16 weeks so I can deliver at Stony Brook, I've heard all good things, and the private rooms sealed the deal for me.

Re: Stony brook hospital
I'm delivering at SB too...I'm excited! 
Does anyone know when you typically do the hospital tour? I'm only 22 weeks right now.

Re: Stony brook hospital
I have tons of experience there - with my DS I had to be hospitalized at 30 weeks - I stayed there 5 weeks. I think I would have been crazy at any other hospital.
The rooms are wonderful - you almost feel like your in a hotel room. Room service with menus for meals - and the food was pretty good - and almost all the staff is wonderful. They even let me get outside for a few minutes to have a visit with my doggy
Not sure about the tour - think you can sign up at any time - you just have to call

I switched with my second at 21 weeks because I wanted to deliver at Stony Brook. I loved my old OB doctors and the office and still miss it. I just didnot want to deliver at the hospital I delivered my older one at. I hated sharing a room and was not happy with a few other things. I don't regret my decision one bit. I was also thinking worst case senario to. I had placenta previa and was thinking possible C-section which wpuld have me staying more days.
I really like my new OB doctors. If you need suggestions on who to switch too, I have three offices I could reccomend .

Loved it!!! Great experience. DH stayed with me the whole time and bathroom was huge, you got a ton of good food for room service, and you can walk to the Starbucks down the hall :). Felt like a date weekend LOL

I'm definitely open to recommendations for OB's. I'm in the same boat as you in not wanting to deliver at the same place. It was a horrible experience all around and sharing a tiny room just made it that much worse!

Dr. Porte at Stony Brook GYN/OB. He is amazing. You will never feel rushed or confused with him.

This is the practice I go to. I like all the doctors.
Also recommend Three Village group and Dr. Reavis. My friends use these two groups and are very happy.

Re: Stony brook hospital
All private, big, clean rooms! Very quiet. Your own clean shower which after having a baby is the biggest plus!
Room service style menu & dining. I don't remember how the food was or if I even ate it though because every time someone came to visit they brought food.
ETA: Great experience there! The nurses were amazing. My one and only issue was that there were way too many medical students in and out of my room and I was having a hard recovery from an emergency c section and just wanted to get at least an hour of sleep but they came barging in. One of them was learning to take my temperature. NO JOKE. I finally said something to the head nurse and she put a note on my door that no one was allowed to enter before first checking with her. After that it was much better.

Re: Stony brook hospital
Love Dr. Reavis and I loved delivering at SB. I couldn't imagine having a roommate while both of you have newborns. How are you supposed rest and heal? DH stayed the entire time except to go home and shower. It was very nice.
