Where to deliver in Tampa? St. Joe's or UCH Fletcher

KMK_Tampa · April 2010

Looking for feedback on where you delivered either St. Joe's or UCH Fletcher. I have had friends deliver at both, but would like to hear your experiences, good and bad.

Thanks in advance!

I'm about to deliver at UCH. You can sign up for the tour. I liked everything about it and the nurse giving the tour was excellent and well informed. Had no problem answering all of my questions (even the unpleasant ones).

I delivered at UCH Fletcher in December. They were great! Nurses were very kind and SO helpful (to both me and DH.) I took the tour during the childbirth class so I knew what to expect and had all my questions answered. Definitely recommend UCH

My OB practice delivers at St Joe's and the Women's hospital is where i had my D&C after my m/c in October. They were amazing and made a horrible experience as amazing as possible. Every single staff member i came into contact with was kind, helpful, caring, and expressed their sympathies for my situation. Although it was difficult getting thru the painful emotions of a loss, my experience at St. Joe's made me hopeful for our next pregnancy and instantly made me look forward to delivering there (this December!). I felt like i was in the best hands and would recommend them to any woman.

I suggest St. Joseph's. They deliver about 8000 babies a year. They have many classes and tours that you can take. They also have a wonderful NICU...just in case. The staff is very educated and provides personalized care. If you are planning for a c/s they also have family centered care.
