Good Sam or O’Connor

Hi Mamas! My husband is in the process of getting a new job and our health insurance will be switched. We currently have Kaiser San Jose. I’m currently pregnant & due in June so I’d love to hear everyone’s experiences with both of these hospitals & their labor and delivery experiences. Please feel free to share your experiences if you given birth at either of these hospitals. Hopefully this can ease my anxiety of switching hospitals midway through pregnancy.

O’connor

I was at good sam and I liked it. The only other experience I had being there was my husband's appendicitis and my two younger siblings were also born there.

O'connor 2 years ago i went into the er and ended up with preclampsia and they took the absolute best care of me before my c section and my little spend 6 weeks in the nicu there and i spent a week recovering in the hospital and seriously they are flipping amazing from the dr i had ( bc mine absolutely sucked and was why i was in the position i was in) to the nurses and nicu nurses. Id have all my babies there if i could honestly.

Had both my daughters at Good Sam in June 2020 and June 2023. The nurses were great to help progress labor and make me comfy. The hospital OBs were great on my 2nd delivery. They checked in on me a few times each shift. Delivered my 2nd daughter fast with no complications luckily. The rooms and bathrooms are comfy with all the different birthing balls. The food was good.

I had my son at O’Connor back in 2013 and I had a very good experience there. But ever since then I’ve heard mixed reviews.

I delivered at Good Sam and would choose it over and over again. L&D nurses were amazing for my very long labor, and all the rooms in the mother-baby unit are private, meaning no sharing with another mom, and the nurses are all amazing there too! I did not experience L&D at O’Connor but my husband was taken there after a motorcycle accident. It was pretty dingy, grimy, and the bathroom was trashed. There was a syringe in the toilet. The doctor barely looked at him but basically let him ask for any painkiller he wanted which is how people form addictions. Given the choice, I would not seek care at O’Connor.
