[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im trying to figure out where you are - west of Waterbury? I did Med school at Yale (albeit 10-15years ago) & did rotations at Danbury (ob/gyn) and st Mary’s (peds). Both were fine for basic care and didn’t have a bad reputation. Though catholic hospitals (personally) make me nervous for OB care. If you really are high risk & especially if you might need a high level NICU then go to YNHH. I also did an ob/gyn rotation at Bridgeport hospital, and would not go there.

Also, I should point out that the hospitals in DC (GW, Sibley, suburban, etc) are good but not amazing. Johns Hopkins is world class, but can be very impersonal and institutional. Most of the female doctors who I trained with at Hopkins had their kids at a private hospital (GBMC) if they lived in or north of Baltimore. Point is that doctors themselves don’t necessarily pick a top-tier hospital, but go for comfort/convenience coupled with a high level NICU. However, if you really are high risk, then YNHH all the way. Best of luck. And I hope that you are enjoying living in CT - I still miss it. CT in the fall is especially beautiful.[/quote].

OP here thank you so much for this - I’m in Woodbury so good guess I never mention the town because no one knows it. The CT lifestyle has its perks but I’m a city girl at heart so some things like the expanse and lack of amenities sucks for me. I asked some local moms about it and a few mentioned residents at Yale did their c sections and were crooked or developed seroma (?) or infections. Can I ask for attending to do the surgery or it’s not happening?

Right now I just have it down to Danbury closer and newer and Yale which is further but actually us news ranked. Good to know about GW and others in DC I don’t know why but when I see them “ranked” and with reviews it feels more legitimate and more advanced. But anyway would you worry about the distance from Yale or it’s simply worth it? [/quote]
