New to the Board: Jackson South

Hello everyone...I'm knew to this board (but not to posting Big Smile). Baby girl is set to arrive in February and I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on Jackson South/Deering Hospital. I've heard a few things about their l&d unit but never from anyone with direct experience. Thanks!

    i wouldn't.  we had bad experiences with jackson south and other medical problems in our family.  it was on more than one occassion.  I can't vouch for the ob/gyns there, but the general practitioners were d*cks.  DH is a firefighter/medic and he said he would try to dissuade anyone from going to jackson south.  He says it's like JMH but without the specialty areas or decent doctors.  I delivered at JMH downtown because I was high risk the first time around and, although the staff was a little rude, what they have in L&D is much, much better than jackson south.  And i would never recommend anyone deliver at JMH.  I live 5 min west of jackson south, and i'm still delivering at baptist, even though it's a little further away.

     sorry if this isn't what you were hoping for, but i just wanted to be honest with you!!

    Thanks for your honesty! My health plan is through JMH so all my doctors are Jackson doctors.

    I don't know anything about the maternity part, but I can say that my DH (who is a surgeon) always likes the care his patients receive at Jackson South.  He has privileges at other hospitals (including Baptist & Mercy, among others), and if a patient has a choice of hospital (if it is elective surgery), he never hesitates to go to Jackson South.

    who is your ob?  I had Dr. Gene Burkett and was also seen by Dr. Gonzalez Quintero when I was in the hospital.  Dr. Bedouin delivered me, though, since Burkett had a family emergency.

    Congrats! I don't know about the maternity unit there but I've been to the regular part and I personally don't like it and wouldn't recommend it. I also live like 5min from there and choose Baptist.

    Do they only deliver at Jackson? Do they partner with any other hospitals?

    Also, if you can take a tour of the hospitals. GL:)
