Northside or Emory Decatur??

Hi! I have Kaiser insurance and my only options for hospitals to deliver are Northside Hospital Atlanta (Johnson Ferry Rd) or Emory Decatur. Has anyone delivered at either of these, and what was your experience?

Northside

I delivered at Emory Decatur. Nurses were great. The on call Dr's were actually my Dr's from my Ob office. I vocalize what I did & didn't want & asked questions! My son is a preemie born 3 months early, the nicu staff was also great!!

@Timira thanks for sharing!

My experience at Emory Decatur was horrible. The doctor on call was rude and argued with me about what he felt was best and when he realized that I wasn’t going to do it, he literally said and I quote “ well I’m just gonna go deal with patients that listens to the doctors”… needless to say I ended up having an emergency c-section with a completely different team that actually took my feelings and concerns into consideration. But after that experience I rather do a home birth or go back to my hometown from now on. I’m from Michigan this was my first child born here and the bedside manners I got from the staff made me uncomfortable and depressed.

@Renee so sorry to hear that you didn’t have a pleasant birthing experience. I appreciate your honesty and thanks for sharing.

@Cat hi! And thank you! Yes that’s likely where I’ll go. I’ve watched the virtual tours online and there’s been a lot more positive sentiment about Northside vs Emory Decatur. Even my MIL was like, eh no lol

I delivered at north side it was a dream!

Emory Decatur.

I haven't but I heard good things about Northside it's currently my 1st choice

Go to northside, they are the best and literally have everything. I lost my first baby at Decatur Emory at 21 weeks and they didn’t listen to my request about trying to do the best to save him and more reasons
