Westmead Hospital's Women's and Newborn Health

I am highly impressed by the staff and the facility. I agree waiting period is there, but if you accept that, everything else is worthwhile.

Couldn't have asked for better care if I tried. My first birth was at nepean and to say it was a traumatic experience is an understatement. This time round I was at westmead and from my prenatal care all the way through was amazing. Dounia my midwife was so supportive and encouraged me through my birth plan Evan when I wanted to give up and get the epidural. I felt empowered by the time my baby was in my arms.Once giving birth i than went up into the post natal ward and all the nurses were so lovely and willing to help with any questions I had. Their teamwork was 10/10!I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole woman's health team who made this lifetime memory such an amazing experience for me, so many people opt for the private health sector because they want better care but I am so grateful and happy to say the public health sector at this hospital takes pride in looking after their patients and babies to the highest level. Thank you again

The receptionists are absolutely rude. Doctors are unprofessional. I have attended 3 ultrasound appointments with terrible experiences.One hour is average waiting time and I suggest doctors should schedule their appointments properly. Do not waste patients time.After ultrasound scan, the doctor said she will send my report to my obstetrician, but never send.Very disappointed! Even public hospital service shouldn’t be like this.

I birthed my son in 2021, the hospital was understandably understaffed and overwhelmed. Everything was very rushed and I wasn't treated very nicely at all. My first midwife made me crawl on the ground to my bed while in active labour.. she wouldn't help me. Most of the midwives didn't really help me breastfeed and judged me as I started formula feeding. There were a small amount of very nice midwives.I have to birth there again this year and dreading it

Emma is the Rudest receptionist. It's my 3rd visit here and first pregnancy so im new to the whole process and this woman will make sure you suffer and humiliate you just because she sees another ethnicity. She doesn't want to help when asked for information and lie to your face when i complained to the midwife about her behaviour towards me. Then she started acting up all nice.

I would not even give 1 star. The worst! They booked me for a plan c section 1 week after the due date. They said come in for emergency if you have a contraction. What a horrible service

Stayed 5 weeks in this ward . No one likes to be a patient but the staff Made me very comfortable. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. Also, patient information is readily available as displayed on information boards . I must say other than being a patient I also learnt a lot .

All the nurses and doctors at Westmead are absolute heroes. They helped us through one of the most difficult chapters of our lives with tremendous compassion and kindness. We will always be grateful to them and we will never forget what they did for us.

Nurses here absolutely caring deserve more pay, they are attentive, patient, service is great positive environment they make you feel safe and at ease. I can't thank them enough. Helping us new parents and same goes for the birthing unit nurses.

Terrible experience! Westmead is the worst hospital! My wife had difficult labour. Instead of being gentle and supportive in the middle of the night, the midwives/nurses were rough, no gynaecologist/obstetrician around!
