Magee Womens Hospital of UPMC

Hi :) I just delivered twin boys via csection at magees on Friday and I just wanted to post something about my experience there for anyone considering magees for there delivery. I’ve seen a lot of people post about how it’s a“baby factory” or that they have had bad experiences there and I just wanna say that my experience was amazing. EVERYONE from my obgyn, Dr Woo, to the anastisiologists, the nurses in the OR, and the staff in the mother and baby wing… were all so so amazing. I’m so glad I delivered at magees. These are our first children and I was very nervous. They made me feel comfortable in every way and treated my children, husband, and I amazing. The staff in the mother and baby wing were so great and extremely well educated… They taught us so much in the short 4 day stay We were there. I was in a lot of pain from the csection and they kept a very close eye on me the whole time and always made sure I was comfortable and not in too much pain… I just felt like they really, really cared. By the time we went home We felt completely confident in our ability to handle taking care of our twins on our own also and any insecurities or nervousness We had, had completely melted away. We really felt like they cared about us and our babies and we almost didn’t wanna leave! Hahaha! It really was a greAt experience. :)

I only came here to pick up my images from the breast care center on the 3^rd floor.
Impressions:
Pros:
Jaimie (spelling?) was very cordial and understood the meaning of customer service. I had spoken to her on the phone about my images, when they would be ready, and where exactly to pick them up. Upon greeting me, she was just as cordial in person and readily retrieved my images for me.
Cons:
I paid 4.00 to park in their garage for the sole purpose of walking in, picking up my images, and leaving. 4.00 is the minimum.
Add injury to insult, there is big bold print on the ticket that you have 15 minutes to leave the garage once paying. Geez, that accounts for time to walk to my car (ok, time wasted pushing the elevator button and waiting when I should have just walked a flight of stairs), fiddle with the GPS, and exit the garage. 15 minutes isn’t a lot of time, ya think?

I often find myself here for appointments way too early before work and the saving grace is my discovery of the breakfast options in the cafeteria. I hear lunch blows but the breakfast… oh my. Made from scratch omelets that are the size of my face with a side comes to a grand total of under $ 5. The veg, the cheese, the hash! It’s the one thing I look forward too as a reward after each appointment. Also, starbucks coffee half the price of going to starbucks.
