Are you kidding me ! never did get a call back ,I called the administrators office again spoke with Marcia, which clearly didn't much have any concern at all ,told me they take this kind of thing Seriously, I told her I don't think you do , then told me a would get a call from the manager , got nothing , someone is not paying attention !!!! Bottom line is it is the Administrators responsibility for everybody under them and I got no satisfaction at all , Maybe I'll get a call after somebody reads this review if I was the administrator I would be completely furious and people would be getting fired ! If they gotta mess up something as simple as a blood sample can you imagine if you needed a heart transplant I wouldn't bring my pet there never mind human ! Not happy at all , I will not be ignored , wrong guy !

After surgery, my foot was left crooked and I developed a large open wound that was never explained to me. She put a cast over it without telling me anything. When I returned to have the cast changed and finally saw the wound, I almost fainted. No one had warned me about it, and at one point it was close to becoming necrotic. I had to stay in bed for two months because of severe swelling and fluid. Instead of receiving support, I was treated as if I was being dramatic while I was clearly in extreme pain and dealing with serious complications. I later learned that a screw had been placed directly through the middle of my joint, and I ultimately needed another surgery to try to correct the damage. To this day I am still suffering the consequences. I have difficulty walking and constant pain that now affects my legs and back. This surgery took away the active life I once had. Based on my experience, I do not recommend Dr. Lobo at all.

I love the North Shore Birth Center. Really…read more For the first half of my pregnancy, I was going to my OB (who is fabulous!) because I wanted to make sure I was not going to be high-risk, etc. But from the beginning, I knew that I did NOT want a hospital birth so I was planning on switching from my OB at some point. I just wasn't sure to where. I debated back and forth between homebirth midwives, the Cambridge Birth Center, and the North Shore Birth Center. And ultimately, I ruled out homebirth just because my insurance wouldn't cover it (something that really really pisses me off). I went for a meet and greet night at the NSBC and they had me at hello. From 20 weeks on, I met with the midwives on a regular basis. They were all super friendly, and by the time my due date was imminent, I had met with all but two of the midwives at some point. A week before my due date, I went into prodromal labor and spent 12 hours there before things stopped progressing and they sent me home. But the midwives with me that night were so incredibly supportive and helpful, so I knew when the real thing actually happened, I'd be in good hands. They even called me a few times during that week to see how things were going. The following weekend, I found myself back at the NSBC, this time in active labor. Luckily I was once again with the midwife with whom I felt most comfortable, since I had met with her more often than the others. I got to the NSBC at 2:45 a.m., and by 11:15 a.m. I had myself a baby. The midwives who attended my birth were absolutely wonderful and I couldn't have asked for a better birth experience. They really helped me have the birth that I had envisioned for myself. It was a very difficult experience, but it was rewarding and I felt on top of the world by the time things were over. A few days later, I ended up back in the hospital because of some serious post-partum complications, but again the midwives were so wonderful. They visited me every day, answering my questions openly and honestly, and they never let me feel like I was alone during the most trying period of my life. I feel so lucky to have had my daughter in such a positive environment with such fabulous women at my side. And if I ever have another child, I can't imagine going anywhere other than the NSBC.

My wife and I just had our first child (a daughter - 6lbs 15oz). From a husbands point of view, it…read morewas such an amazing experience I have to let others know. Part of me wants to just keep this place a secret so we can go back and not have to worry about crowds but if I did that I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. My wife, prior to going to the birthing center, had seen a midwife closer to our home in western, Ma. Not comfortable with the place we were going we started to search out another birthing center that was encouraging of natural births. My wife really wanted to do a home birth but I was personally not fully on board with that and our insurance wouldn't cover it. After searching all over we found the North Shore birthing center. A reason it took us so long to find it was that it was over an hour and a half away from our home. Upon calling, the person who answered told us that others had driven further and that for a first child it shouldn't be a problem. We made the treck and went to at least check the place out. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly and make you feel like you are part of their family. The birthing center is a small house next to the beverly hospital and has 2 rooms set up for delivering (aside from the several rooms for check ups and appointments). One of the rooms has a large tub for water births. The rooms are average in size but are set up more like a regular room in your house instead of a hospital looking room. We went for the last 6 months of my wife's pregnancy for all routine checkups. We both met with about all the midwives that were on staff. Our baby came a few days after the due date. The delivery process was absolutely amazing and so different from the many stories we have heard from people who go to hospitals. So many people told my wife she was crazy and there was no way she could have a natural birth but with the midwifes, knowledge, patience, and encouragement she did it... and is very happy about it! I believe the reason it was such a great experience has a lot to do with the midwives knowing how woman's bodies prepare for birth and know the timing that things happen. While in labor both Karen and Amanda were the midwives on duty. Instead of rushing things and giving her undue pressure for no reason, they let nature take it's course. To me it's a shame more insurance companies don't point people back in this direction of midwifery and natural births. It would not only save the medical industry lots of money, I believe a lot of woman would have a much better view of child birth, and most importantly - woman and babies would be a lot safer! Honestly, places like this deserve a different scale for a review. I would give them 10 stars

They never brought them to her so she had to spit into her covers. My mother is a diabetic and all night they never offered her a drink or something to snack on or eat. I'm very disappointed in the staff for not offering anything to her until the morning. In the morning I called the hospital and asked what was going on, if she was going to get anything to eat or drink. I spoke with Kathy in the ER, one of the case workers or nurse, I don't know what her job title was, but her name was Kathy. The way she spoke to me was very unprofessional and rude. I asked her if my mother was going to get something to eat or drink and her reply is they're cooking it. And I said, "Well, how long is it going to take because she's a diabetic and needs to eat and drink something." She says I don't know, they're cooking it. I told her what had happened at night when she got there. That nobody had brought her tissues and no one offered her anything to eat or drink all night. So I wanted to know a time frame on when she was going to eat that morning. She told me if you don't like it, go somewhere else. I was not speaking in a high tone voice or being rude and she talked to me like that? She is supposed to be a professional. And who says you don't like it, Don't come here. That set me off. When I called my mother back, I asked if she had gotten her breakfast yet. Guess what they brought her? A banana and a cup of coffee! How do you cook a banana?! I went right down there, and before I did, I called the police to meet me there because I knew it wasn't going to be good. The officer went inside to speak to them before I went in because I had a good feeling that they were going to just kick me out. One of the managers came out, apologized to me, and gave a number to call to give my complaint. About a week and a half later, I called and spoke to the appropriate person. I waited because the first thing was to make sure my mom was taken care of. I explained the situation to him. He told me that the matter had been taken care of. This whole complaint is not against Melrose Wakefield Hospital, just Kathy in the ER room. I don't want anybody to lose their job, But in this case I personally think she should be fired. And after this review hopefully they will fire her. That is no way to speak to anyone. There was no reason for that. I did not give her a hard time, I did not yell, I did not use profanity. But she still spoke to me in an ill manner.
