Depends on what you want from a hospital. IF you want a large room, flat panel TV, sure St. John's is the place to go. If you want service, NEVER go to St. John's.
We delivered our baby at St. John's and the nursing staff in the postpartum ward just sucked. They would not show up for hours after buzzing the help button. After waiting for an about an hour, I went around the ward to find 5 of the nursing staff chit chatting while the new mother (who delivered just 3 hours back) was waiting for help! This happened not once, not twice but at least 5 times in our 40 hour stay.
When my wife requested for swaddling the baby as she was alone in the room, while I was gone to bring lunch, the nurse told her that she is doing her a favor and it is not her job. Kaiser and other hospitals in the area nurses do it as part of their ""job"".
Also, when my wife was starving at 4 pm and requested for food, Nurse told her that she will have to wait for hospital dinner time and she cannot give her food, although she could have at least offered milk, which is available in the supply room right next to nurse's station.
All in all St. John's service just sucks! It is not worth the $40,000 we have paid towards delivering our baby.
