I had my baby at Mt. Hood Medical Center back in June & I have had a hard time getting over my experience with a man named Donald Flynn who is an ""anesthesiologist."" He was so terribly rude to me when I was in labor. He snapped at me & made me feel terribly uncomfortable. When I finally did recieve my rude & uncordial epidural it did not work at all, the pain was just as intense. I asked for him to please come back in to try again & he came slamming in to the room saying quote, ""You being overweight makes this epidural close to impossible & if I try again it will give you headaches for 6 months, so...deal, because childbirth is supposed to be uncomfortable."" By then tears were streaming down my face. Yes, I understand I am overweight and epidurals can therefore be challenging...but certainly not impossible. Although should definitly still be cordial & professional. And of course when I received my Explanation of Benefits from my Insurance, he had charged $1,200.00 for a service that offered me no relief and was done incorrectly. So if you are having a baby there & see a grumpy old man named Donald coming towards you with a 8 inch needle, demand someone else. \r
In response to the other review written before me, yeah I noticed the floors were dirty too. There is a hardwood type flooring in the maternity section & after walking around in my hospital room, the bottom of my feet were filthy! And that was shortly after I had been admitted so I would think that they should have mopped between patients.
Pros: The nurses were wonderful & caring!
Cons: Donald Flynn & things looked a little dirty
