Hi,
I am new to the Trenton area. Right now since I work in Philadelphia & work for Temple University, I have been seeing my OBGYN at Temple University Hospital. Unfortunately I do not wish to give birth there, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice hospital, with friendly staff, as an alternative. I dont know much about Trenton, but I hear closer to Hamilton is better. I am also looking for a pediatrician for my kids. I have a 6 and a 3 year old and the one on the way. Like before, I lived in Philadelphia, but now I am in the Trenton/Hamilton area, and need to find a decent doctor to take them to. Thanks moms!
Re: Recommendations for pediatrician & hospital where I should give birth? Trenton/Hamilton
I delivered at Robert Wood Johnson in Hamilton (even though I live in Princeton about 25 minutes away). They were wonderful. You have your own labor and delivery room and then your own private room when you move over to the maternity ward. The women and children's wing is pretty new and everything was great. The staff was great and the doctors were wonderful.
I take my son to Princeton Nassau Pediatrics and really like them. We see Dr. Raymond (he's wonderful). I had to have a staff pediatrician look after my son in the hospital (PNP works with Princeton Hospital and two hospitals in New Brunswick) but that wasn't a problem.
My OBGYN is in Hamilton. I go to Hamilton OBGYN and see Dr. Gonzalez. She's great. Dr. Hoffman did my emergency C-Section and he was great as well.
Good luck!
I also did extensive research and chose to travel 45 minutes to Capital Health in Trenton. It's an older hospital, and they are soon closing to move to a location in Pennington. The rooms are a little on the older side, but the care if phenomenal. They are more on the natural side of things, so as pp said, you can use labor tub (AWESOME), a labor ball, etc.
One huge perk for me (and it's really dumb, but it's a perk) is that you don't pay for parking. My older son was born at a newer, nicer, closer to home hospital that charges and it adds up.
