Good Sam or Southside Maternity for C-Section
If you had the option, which hospital would you choose for a scheduled c-section? I am going in for my 10 week appt on the 29th and my doctor said to decide where I would like to deliver, since they are affiliated at both.
My DD was born in FL, and most of my friends delivered at Stonybrook, so I don't have any first hand experiences to help me decide.

Good Sam or Southside Maternity for C-Section
I've delivered via c section at both-seems early for you to decide...what made me change this time around was I had my third and did a tubal ligation since we are done having children. I love my dr so those were my choices and there are pluses and minuses with each. Do you have specific questions?

I'm sorry your sil had a bad experience! I thought the nurses I had were great-one was eh but she was overnight and I didn't need her much. I had a harder time with the lactation consultant and her methods.

Re: Good Sam or Southside Maternity for C-Section
I've delivered via c-section at both hospitals. Based on my own personal experience, I very much preferred southside.
I feel like my negative experience at GoodSam had more to do with the actual nurses that I had, their lack of lactation consultant help (at the time), and the fact that I shared a room with a very annoying roommate...
The 2nd time around at Southside, I did pay for a private room...so i am sure that was part of what made it better as well considering my previous experience lol.
But, what I think makes it a better choice, IMO, is that southside is owned by Northwell - so there is a lot of training that goes on, they follow stricter standards and there is more management in place. Good Sam is a catholic hospital, so its doesnt run as tight a ship. Thats just my opinion based off my own experience.

Re: Good Sam or Southside Maternity for C-Section
I had both my kids at Southside (one natural and one emergency C-section). I loved all the nurses in both L&D and the maternity floor.
I'll be going back this summer for #3.
ETA: I also paid for a private room. Well worth it, IMO.

Re: Good Sam or Southside Maternity for C-Section
I loved my experience at Southside.
The nurses were great from L&D to the maternity floor.
I did pay for a private room- that was a 100% necessity for me and worth every single freakin' penny!

Re: Good Sam or Southside Maternity for C-Section
I delivered all 3 of my boys at Good Sam. I had great experiences each time. My L&D nurses were awesome. The maternity unit nurses were terrific too. When I had my 2nd, the new mother/child wing opened so I took advantage of that for my 2nd and 3rd. Made a huge difference. Worth every penny. I had zero complaints about delivering there.
