St. Teresa’s Hospital

St. Teresa’s is a very popular private hospital for both in-​patients and out-​patients alike; its location is certainly convenient and the service they provide has always been nothing but tip top. A personal experience recently has further confirmed this.
Delivering a baby is stressful business, being a first time parent further adds to the anxiety with so many questions clouding your mind as to what you are doing right (usually none) and what you are doing wrong (everything). Booking your wife into the hospital is more akin to booking yourself in for an unknown experience; what will happen, when will it happen and how much will it cost– these are all the things that you really don’t know.
St Teresa’s really took concerns off my mind in a couple of ways– staff members were friendly and they were always supportive right from the word go to when I left. At no point in time did I feel that I was left to fend for myself and nurses were always on hand if we needed anything (with the exception on one nurse in the new born viewing room who felt the need to tell everyone off for calling their new born child too often). Doctors (not necessarily associated with the hospital but nonetheless) were also friendly with us and they, having done thousands of deliveries, knew what we were concerned about.
The wards were clean and airy and the preparation courses for new parents were all very helpful and informative. This was all further enhanced when the bill came and it was pretty clear how everything came to the amount and all was as expected. I don’t know how other hospitals fare but given my only experience so far I would say this is pretty good by my standards.
Two things though: Don’t park for too long at the hospital– it will cost ya. And don’t buy anything from the shop downstairs unless you have to because its a rip-​off.
