Middlesex Hospital

I have been in and out of this hospital with my mother many times as she has been fighting a horrible cancer for three years. Although she is not curable, I would like to thank Dr. Philips for recently going above and beyond. I have met a lot of doctors and Dr. Phillips is the one who I can say has actually made a true difference. She is very knowledgeable and very comforting. She stands out as she proved to take her time to explain to my family the status of my mothers condition and what to expect in the next coming week/final days. Thank you for being sincere and helpful at such a difficult time for my family.

The GPS took me to the unloading entrance.. got lost.. walked around the whole thing to find the er.. once inside, it's nice, people are friendly just was hard to get to.

I gave birth here to my beautiful baby girl in January 2019. I arrived shortly after my water broke at home, and was immediately rushed upstairs to the maternity ward. My daughter was born 6 weeks premature but everything went so smoothly. My OBGYN office is right across the street from the hospital and she arrived to deliver my daughter. Her name is Dr. Julie Flagg and she is absolutely amazing!!! Each and every one of the nurses, food service people, doctors, etc were wonderful. My daughter was in the NICU nursery for 9 days after birth to be monitored since she was a preemie. They were great and treated me with kindness. I am a recovering heroin addict and I’m on a methadone maintenance program and I expected to be treated like a low life druggie, but I was treated with the utmost respect and care. The food was amazing, and my fiancé got to sleep right next to me in the room during my stay on this cool couch that folded up into a decently comfortable bed. My family and I were so happy with my labor and delivery and postpartum care. I can’t say enough good things about this hospital! I will never give birth anywhere else after this wonderful experience. I’m young and I had a stillborn a few years ago due to preeclampsia so I was worried when my water broke early but the staff made sure to explain everything that they were doing, and assure me that my baby was doing fine and that everything was progressing as it should. I had my mind made up that I didn’t want an epidural during my natural birth and the staff had no problem helping me labor naturally. I got there around 3:30am and my daughter was born at 7:32am. Backus Hospital is much closer to me since I live in Colchester CT, but Middlesex was my choice and I don’t regret it one bit. Thank you for making the most amazing day of my life as stress free as possible! I also want to share that one of the NICU nurses, Golda, was beyond wonderful to myself, my family, and my newborn daughter. She took such good care of her while she was in the NICU and she treated me like family with respect and care. Also, Laura the APRN in charge of the NICU was great too!!

Much better than the new haven hospitals. Emergency room wait time is significantly less. Staff if friendly and helpful. Maternity unit is great. Parking is easy. Cafeteria is better than expected.

Mad I even have to rate this!!! Been in ER an hour and not seen!!! All they're doing is sitting out there talking.....gossiping with one another like really.. Guess they don't think my issue was an emergency... Just lip hanging off why not make him wait another HR!!! Do not come here go to Urgent Care.. They keep you waiting all this time for what!!!? Exactly!! While my loved one is in need... Insurance maybe
