Patient and Family Experiences

jamie "I recently had the best birthing experience at the Rockledge Birthing Center. The nurses were amazing and so helpful and kind and the food was top notch. My doctor, Dr. Burrows, and the nurses worked closely together to monitor my progress as I went through the stages of labor and kept me informed and comfortable. I would definitely highly recommend choosing this hospital to give birth at. The smaller hospital atmosphere played a special role in making me feel important and a priority and the staff works closely together like a family. I loved the experience." -Jamie

"We wanted to express our gratitude to the whole team on the labor and delivery floor. There wasn't one person that we met on our 4-day hospital stay that wasn't important or memorable. I would like to recognize a few, though there are others whose name I failed to write down, but they also were a pivotal part of our incredible experience there. I appreciate you all so much, I will forever remember the week of my beautiful daughter's birth. I am thankful these incredible people will remain a part of our fondest memories" -Inge

 

Erin MasonI could not recommend Rockledge Regional Medical Center more for your birth! I had my 3rd little boy, Henry, at the hospital on Feb 8th and it was an all-around amazing experience. Dr. Kazemfar has been my OB for 7 years and was amazing from my routine office visits to helping with my high risk needs, and then into my induction and birth. I had a safe and healthy delivery and felt like she really knew me and cared about my baby and I. The nurses are INCREDIBLE at Steward. I would not have made it through my labor, epidural and birth experience without my nurses who quite literally held my hand and encouraged me every step (and hour) of the way. Once the birth was over, our group of nurses continued to support me and my husband with all our newborn needs the next 2 days. I also really love how they fully support your breastfeeding journey from day 1 and offer lactation support right in hospital from Meghan, their wonderful lactation consultant, and check often on you and baby to be sure you can be successful! I even visited her after for weight checks and more breastfeeding support. I can honestly say my birth experience at Rockledge Regional Hospital was just as I had imagined and hoped it would be! Thank you!
