    Whoever the front desk lady worker was yesterday afternoon Wednesday (03/04), was rude. You're the…read morefirst person people see when guests walk in and I got welcomed by sarcasm and sass. I hope you're never greeted the way you did to me when you visit a hospital. It shouldn't be hard to smile and be kind. 2 stars for the security staff next to her for being nice and greeting me.

    My daughter has her 1st child at Atrium Union West in March. She loved her OB/GYN (Dr…read moreKenton-Haney) but her birthing experience was very traumatic, drawn out and difficult, to put it mildly. Due to complications, she was induced 3 weeks early. Check-in was Wednesday. The baby was not delivered until Friday. She had to go through 2 days of "procedures" medicines, balls, etc. to induce delivery. Long and drawn out. She was dilated and began pushing Friday am. Her Dr had to leave, however, so at this point Dr Ashley Cole took over. IF ONLY SOMEONE HAS WARNED US! So, I hope to warn others! In our opinion, Dr Cole is the perfect example of what a Dr looks like with they may be very skilled technically, but have no care, nurture, or bedside manner. Not to mention she has such an egotistical and arrogant attitude, topped with a harsh and abrasive tone in her treatment. The way she spoke to her patient, who was exhausted, scared, tired, in severe pain because of 4 failed epidural attempts, .... Was deplorable!! I now know why she does not see patients and that needs to stay that way. I am not sure that leaving vulnerable women in labor, in her hands, is any better of a solution however, if that was why that decision was made. Thank God the nurse working that day was there and able to step in and explain options, help with breathing and help to be a calming and supportive voice. The nurse explained the vacuum process vs the Forceps process. We decided to try the vacuum because I could see my daughter was exhausted, and in distress. My daughter even said at one point "Why is she talking to me like that?", referring to Dr Cole. It was heartbreaking to watch as a parent. My daughter also experienced a level 2 tear in the delivery process as well, Dr Cole did do an excellent job on the stitching to repair the tear... so I give her that. Next dismissive & disrespectful act... (yes, there is more), dad was there to cut the cord. But Dr Cole just cut it and passed the baby on. This once again, caused trauma, and made us to think that something was wrong, since we had informed the nurse that dad would cut the cord when they asked. Another dismissive and disrespectful act by Dr Cole. Pros: * Prenatal Appointments at West were good and facilities are nice. * Dr Kenton-Haney is a great Ob/Gyn and has a wonderful personality (Highly recommend at a different location for birthing) * West has Beautiful Hospital Grounds (but do not recommend you go here) * Some of the Nurses were great (but only a few) Cons: * Failed epidural that took 4 tries (while in Labor pain) due to lack of skill and correct tubing, and it still did not work at all! * Facility not equipped with needed medical equipment (or tubing) apparently * Severe back pains after Epidural on top of the contractions and delivery pains * The hospital was not equipped for any escalations. Baby transferred to Pineville NicU for a low temperature due to lack of proper assessment equipment. * Most Horrible, belittling, disrespectful treatment by attending Dr (Ashley Cole) * Dr Cole was very disrespectful in so many ways * Dr Cole was very dismissive of my daughters pain, several...dismissive and disrespectful actions * Dr Cole cut umbilical cord when father was right there * Main Atrium hospital location in Union is very old, dank and needs updating. In summary, I do NOT recommend having a baby at Union West. The main Union location is very old, dank and needs updating, but West has Dr Cole, and you want to avoid her at all costs! I am a firm believer in being fair and showing some grace. But Dr Cole showed none to my daughter. She really needs some serious personality / bedside manner intervention. You should not be a Dr if you do not care about people! You should not deliver babies if you do not like to do so, or care for the women delivering them! Whatever her issue is, it caused trauma and what should have been a maybe difficult but yet beautiful experience, was a traumatic, painful and a disrespected one instead.
