St. Catherine's Hospital

I met up with my friend who is preggo tonight. We were talking about what hospital she is having her baby in. Then I told her that my doctor works out of St. Catherines and her eyes popped out of her head. She told me to switch doctor's because that is not a good hospital.

Has anyone heard stories, or had bad experiences there?

The only negative thing I have to say about their maternity ward is that the visiting hours and policies stink! Only the father, grandparents, and I think siblings are allowed in when the baby is in the room and the get priveleged hours, they can't be there all day.....

Winthrop is the same. I didn't mind though...

I am an attending at St Catherines and had Matthew there. I LOVE the nurses at this hospital, they are truly caring people, and this is why I decided to deliver there. The only disadvantage is that there are no private rooms on maternity.

Is it common to get a private room elsewhere?
