Dr.Ardite St Luke’s West end 🙌🏽🙌🏽 can’t say enough good things about her. She’s transparent, relatable, and comforting.

You will never find me at another LVHN location for OBGYN. Because they’re network is so big you will see multiple doctors and not just stick with one because you/they don’t know who will deliver you. My first pregnancy I had hyperemesis graviderum (extreme morning sickness), lost 40 lbs and they didn’t diagnose me with it until 30 weeks pregnant. Then and this is the worst of them all when I had my son they did a drug test on me since I was taking Tylenol #3 for gallstones and it came back positive for Methampatines but not positive for the ingredients in Tylenol #3. I later got a oopsie we gave you the wrong results.
My second pregnancy I went to st Luke’s this year. I saw the same 2 doctors constantly. They both listened and the office made me feel like I wasn’t being a bother, I had some complications towards the end. C section was amazing and my scar is amazing. The nurses after delivery were amazing too! I went to the Fogelsville location and saw Dr. Burbaum

St lukes. Used caring for women OBGYN and gave birth at Anderson. I couldn't have asked for a better team from the doctors to the nurses💕

see I’m having issues with St Luke’s not listening to me 😭 I’ve been having SO much sharp pains in my uterus in the center and it took them 5 weeks to diagnose me with a fibroid. Every time it was RLP, which I knew it wasn’t because that feels completely different.
Last week I went to L&D Upper Bucks and the doctor said she thinks it’s a fibroid. So I went to follow up with my OB and she blew me off and said she didn’t see anything and nothing was reported in the notes. I decided to go to Anderson for a second opinion and they said there’s a fibroid causing you pain and to follow up with your OB about it, so now I’m finally getting heard.
But I do believe the Anderson hospital and that whole area is better than Center Valley/Quakertown right now

what OB location did you go to to deliver at Anderson? see I’m having issues with St Luke’s not listening to me, at least at my location 😭 I’ve been having SO much sharp pains in my uterus in the center and it took them 5 weeks to diagnose me with a fibroid. Every time it was RLP, which I knew it wasn’t because that feels completely different.

@Chandler I went to caring for women. They have different locations but the main one is down the street from anderson.
They definitely listen to you. All of the doctors & PA there are amazing! I had 4 fibroids with this pregnancy. I'm sorry they're not listening to you.

I’ll have to look into that! Also how did you manage any pain from your fibroids during your pregnancy? Did yours cause any issues?

St Luke’s has been amazing for me all of the doctors have been extremely helpful. I go to the cetronia road campus

@Chandler no issues for the most part. I didn't really have pain either. The 1 I could feel from the outside but other than that it was fine.

At Luke’s Anderson

lucky you!!

@Chandler did they say where they're located?

ST LUKES ALLENTOWN.... I work there as an OB nurse, but currently on leave as I just delivered my baby September 10. I had an amazing labor and post partum experience. Being a nurse there as well, I also know (and can recommend) several of the doctors/practices. Also, having experienced both Anderson and upper bucks as well, I will say I do like the way allentown is run the best. Even being the oldest of the 3, I'd still choose to deliver there again hands down

not exactly, it looks pretty center and I’m pretty sure it’s not inside the uterus too - I’m trying to get my OB to follow up on this and monitor it

I keep hearing amazing things about St Luke’s and I loved it up until the second trimester 😭 see I’m having issues with St Luke’s not listening to me 😭 I’ve been having SO much sharp pains in my uterus in the center and it took them 5 weeks to diagnose me with a fibroid. Every time it was RLP and they wouldn’t examine me, which I knew it wasn’t because that feels completely different.

But I do believe the Anderson hospital and that whole area is better than Center Valley/Quakertown right now, at least I’ve heard Anderson is fabulous from everyone else!

St luke Anderson was the best hospital for giving birth. St luke Allentown was ok, even through they stick the needle in my back three times for my C-section because the doctor keeps running out

I recommend Lehigh valley cedar crest. N that is for personal experience.

Saint Luke’s Anderson ! I had my elective C there and it was amazing.
