Tufts Medical Center — Local services in Boston

Hey Magan you sound sad af and retarded. Fr why dont you walk in the facility yourself and find how wonderful it is. You claim your not from MA and 3 weeks bfr delivery your comlaining about a tour and talking about experience listen carfully sped how can u call anything horrible if you claim you have yet stepped foot i can claim experience i have had all my babies here and uts been a great experience. Where ever your from i bet you shared a room. NEMC provides your own privacy phone and tv and foid service. While family can visit u around the clock and your baby never leaves your side. While your on here complaining like a cow how about you stop looking into the spurut relm of things and just be seen regualarly for the pre natal care bfre delivery! And enjoy it til the big day.. This hospital takes care very well and i love how neat and professional tgis facility is. Very fine Doctors and nurses who know exactly how to get the job done. And i love tge fact this place is very skilled i can say expensive work. I love the aisians and the Europeans very intelligent people. Including Many others here. In proforming C section i can say wow amazing at making sure delivery was success the beautiful gifts were born Five years apart through Cesearian. And its the best experiance bcs your taken care of closley and well. Stay was just under a week and healing was quick esp when you can breastfeed consistantly, baby helps wth healing process and uterus goes back to normal going home your feeling back to normal self in a matter of two weeks time still need to take it easy continue the breastfeeding its Amazing . benifits are your Vag is still tight . .. Bikini cut heals good at hospital. Dr. Are close and monitor well. I dont get how anyone can say tuffs is bad. You MAY HAVE LIST YOUR MIND AND MAY BE MENTALLY INSANE. I would go here before anybody bmc your sharing a room . i webt to see my friend and she had a neighbor and sheet covering otger half of small corupted room sad. So glad my four beautiful ones were born in TUFFS. 3 c sections only one natural birth by vag. First born .sec bb was emergency C- and they took great care. After being high risk yes they do honor and take care and it feels so good in labor and delivery nice unit clean big rooms private bathroom and baby always at your side chairs sofa and table stand tv phone and Nurse checking you around the clock. I will go back anyday. Unfortunatly i moved got married and live now in the State of NYC. Im 6 months prego today 26wk and 1 day today i am only here to compare what i researched from hospitals from NYC to look back at my tuffs and found that many of you are no different yet run your mouths when you have not really been in my shoes. You cant complain of time with a low issue to be seen. Many others conditions are more then yours dont complain and everyone cannot always be seen so fast esp if yours isnt that important and for a person to complain based on phone calls alone to judge and say hospital is worst cause you could not get through your crazy. If you want something done then get off the chair. And move... Dont knock nurses or dr. Just because it did not go fine for YOU. thats you! .. It isnt me!!!... So ppl really need to be engadged if they want to experience real help. Injuries must be truly servere also to be seen at its quickest grow up ppl. Any ambitious woman looking to give birth here your in great hands! .. And this is from experience. Top knotch hospital also teaching hospital keep prospering! .. I want to thank my Dr for my care here and that is for all my births ive recieved. Overall biwind is also great womans health and pediatrics dep. Floating hospital for kids thnk you! ..We love you you have always been great. P.s. i lke to be very expressive so others can understand nature of hospital and real honesty Its mny evil ppl out in this world that could knock you from recieving good care just remember that the Devil is in the world. u have to base knowledge on own real experiences first Stp checking cmnts ppl are mean and neg to get...

Updated: Unfortunately, I have to change my review after the care my mother received on North 4. A very stark difference to the stay I had. Some of the staff should be retrained. The nurses were good, tho it took several attempts to get what she needed. My main issues are with a CCT she had and the woman working the desk on the floor(who did not have a badge on visible at eye level). After asking a CCT for wipes and being told sure, she never received them. When me and my husband visited her, a different CCT came into her room, identified herself as Nya, and “took” my mother’s blood pressure. The cuff just kept squeezing. Me, my mother, and my husband just looked at each other’s like what the hell is happening? My mother arm was turning purple. She finally comes back over from her computer to say “hmm doesn’t look like it’s working, doesn’t matter anyway, you’re going home soon”. My mother’s health doesn’t matter because shes leaving soon? She just had surgery! Nya then stood over my mother holding out a thermometer. My mother wasn’t paying attention and she just stood there holding it out in her face. Not “ hey I’m gonna take your temperature now can you open up?”. Nothing. We got our mother’s attention. Then she was given a new roommate. This woman kept yelling for someone to help her and no one was coming. It’s the middle of the night and my mother is also trying to recover and rest. So my mother rang her call bell to get the woman some help. Nya told her “dont do that”. Dont call for help? What is wrong with her calling for help? No one in medical staff should ever tell an individual to not call for help. Next morning as my mother is waking up, Nya walks into my mother’s room and looks out her window. She makes eye contact with my mother. Doesn’t greet her or anything, and finally after looking back out the window asks her if she needs anything. Imagine how this woman treats people who cant speak up for themselves or don’t have visitors if she does this stuff right in front of family members. My mother did love the housekeepers and food food service staff as well as a few of the nurses. When we came to pick up my mom to take her home, the woman at the North 4 desk made sure to tell my husband his pass was expiring soon and he’d have to get a new one. It was 545pm, his pass didnt expire until 1130pm, visiting hours end at 8pm and shes leaving in a half hour. So i told her it doesnt expire until 1130. “Well im just saying soon”. 1130 is not soon. My mothers discharge papers were all done and she was told she could leave, we walked down to the nurses station. We asked for a wheelchair from the same woman at the desk. Again, no badge visible that I could see. “I can call for one”. So I said Ok can she sit down in this chair for now?”. “Ugh sure, but shes supposed to wait in her room so the transport staff know where to find her”, as she rolled her eyes. (No one told us we would have to wait for a wheelchair, or to wait in the room for one)So my mother, 2 days after surgery walked all the way back down to the end of the hall where her room was and waited. And waited. 30 minutes go by and no chair. A male CCT asks us what we’re waiting on and we tell him and he says “yea transport can take awhile but I can see if we have a wheelchair in our storage”. This man opened a closet and took out a wheelchair. There were atleast 5 people standing around at the nurses station, including that rude woman. Not one could open a closet and take out a wheelchair? We’re grateful for this man. Me, my sister, and my husband also wanted to give a huge thanks to all the individuals at the visitor center. They were all so kind and even brought us up twice to show us where to go. All of my mothers doctors were amazing as well.

I myself originally had a wonderful, 5 star worthy stay on South 8. So I was shocked at the stark difference in care...

I loved TUFTS but I ended up having the worst days of my life during my delivery because of a nurse named Abigail. At first I was very happy with the nurses when I got admitted on labor and delivery on Saturday, 09/02/23 because I prayed for months to have a nice staff during the birth of my child, unfortunately, on the last shift when I gave birth from 09/05/23 to 09/06/23, I had a terrible experience of being treated by this nurse, who seems to hate her job and was dedicated to make me have the worst moments of my life. She ignored everything I would say, treated me like I was dumb or stupid, she would roll eyes, dismiss what I was telling other professionals, etc. Here's some examples: 1st: she would step on my IV cord and step on the wire that was connected to my cervix (to measure contractions) and I would tell her and ask her to stop and she would say "if it comes out I can put it back". It was not about putting it back into my cervix or putting it back into my vein, it was causing me pain. 2nd: the epidural anesthesia did not work completely on my body and I had to have another type of mix every 2 hours. A male anesthesiologist would come to give me that mix every 2 hours. When he came during her shift, she told him I didn't need the extra mix and I could just press the button for the epidural, and I said that the epidural did not work on my left leg and an I didn't want to press the button because it only made me dizzy and sleepy but I would still feel the whole pain; she completely ignored what I said and pressed the button for me. That was my button, that was my decision to make for more epidural on my spine, it's for the patient's use for extra doses.  3rd: I told her I felt my baby coming out of my vagina, that I had enough dilation, and if she could bring the doctor to check me. She said it was impossible and I had to wait for 8AM. Thankfully my husband was with me and I asked him to go to the front desk and get me a doctor. The doctor came to check and guess what? I already had 10cm and she said I was ready to push. I wonder what would have happened to me and my child if I had waited for 8AM, I gave birth to my baby at 5:42AM. 4th: I was complaining about pain under my right rib and all I was given was a  heating pad, even during labor, only a heating pad. Only to find out after the delivery that I had pre eclampsia and I was giving signs of it and I was again, ignored. 5th: I was having chills and then I was super hot and feeling dizzy before birth, I said I thought I had an infection and if they could do blood work to figure it out; I was told that the blood work would not show any infection this soon; well, the first blood work after birth showed the infection. The most beautiful moment of my life became the worst! I'm afraid of having more babies! I wanted 4 children and now I think I can't do this again. I felt alone, I felt scared, I felt not heard, I felt abused in many ways. I feel depressed, I feel sad, I feel my child's birth was stolen from me, I think about it every day before I sleep, that I should have said something and asked for another nurse but I was afraid the new nurse might be her friend or someone could let me die on purpose. I love TUFTS but this is not the treatment I expected after being treated the past years at this hospital. I don't think this nurse should be working with mothers and babies at all. She should be placed somewhere else or fired so she can find a job that she likes and that she won't be dealing with...
