I'm new to this boad and newly pregnant . I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for doctors and a preference in hospitals in the Westford area? Lowell General and Emerson are both near my home. Does anyone have experience with either of the birthing areas of these two hospitals? Are there other hospital options I should consider?
Re: Choosing a hospital and Dr. in Westford area?
I delivered at Lawrence General, which isn't too far from Westford. I had a wonderful experience there, and would highly recommend it to anyone! The nurses were great and I felt really comfortable being there. I was skeptical of delivering in Lawrence, but spoke to several close friends and family members who delivered there and they all highly recommended it as well. Plus, they have a level 2 NICU, so that really helped in my decision.
I'm not sure about doctors, but definitely check with whomever you choose to see which hospital they are affiliated with, and where they will deliver. Mine was in North Andover and they only gave me the option of Lawrence Gen and Holy Family.
Good luck!
