K.S. asks from Billings, MT on January 06, 2009
Abington or Holy Redeemer?
We're choosing between hospitals and have heard that Abington does a really high number of abortions. So, we'd like to go elsewhere and toured Holy Redeemer. Anyone have any thoughts on these two hospitals?
ALSO:
We'd have to change from Abington Women's Primary Healthcare, which we don't mind b/c they have so many doctors that I haven't been able to feel like I have connected to anyone of them. We are looking at going to the group with Drs. Stack, Ameri, Borthwick, and Dershaw. Any comments?

My best friend and I were both pregnant at the same time. She gave birth at Abington and I at Holy Redeemer. I LOVED my experience at Holy Redeemer. My best friend did as well at Abington.
I had a private room and I loved the staff. My OBGYN is also affiliated with Holy Redeemer so I didn't really havea choice. If you are from the area then you might have heard of Joel Kramer. He is well known in the Huntingdon Valley Area. He is a friend our family and is a wonderful OBGYN. His partners are Devlin and Natuso and I also had very positive experiences with them. I felt very comfortable with everyone at Joel's offices and even though i was in labor for over 10 hours with a final C section it was a wonderful experience. Holy Redeemer is the best!

I had both of my children at Holy Redeemer and they were both positive experiences. Also my ped is through that hospital and I can't say enough about them, Meadowbrook Peds. Good luck

I used to go to Dr. Borthwick and really liked her. I since switched just to be closer to home. I delivered at Holy Redeemer and liked it. I know a lot of people who deliver at Abington and have a good experience as well. Good luck with your decision!

I have 3 children. I have delivered at both hospitals 2 of my children were at Holy Redeemer by Stack and Dershaw and one was delivered at Abington by Dr Carrapaletti. I hands down would go to Holy Redeemer they were great there. Abington I wasn't crazy about it, I just had a wonderful experience at Holy Redeemer. Abington probably has a high abortion rate to Holy Redeemer because HR is a catholic hospital. Also, Holy Redeemer will not tie your tubes.

I delivered at abington & had the best experience there. The nursing staff was wonderful and the doctors at abington women's primary were wonderful. I have heard that people do not have as great an experience at holy redeemer. But that may just be individual experiences. Abington also has a newer building which most women are put in after labor & delivery and it is a very nice atmosphere. Good luck
