This review is for the Labor and Delivery, Mother and Baby, and NICU for Spring 2024.

The L&D nurses were supportive and encouraging. I was impressed by the level of communication among all members of the healthcare team. Anesthesiologist arrived promptly. The doctors and nurses kept me in well informed while my baby was in the NICU. The NICU support staff was especially excellent. The NICU had great resources to help me provide pumped breastmilk to my baby.

The hospital food was so so, but very well presented. I never felt compelled to order food from a nearby restaurant instead.

Facilities were always clean. I did not have to even use any of my own towels or bathrobes; the ones the hospital provided were just fine.

I appreciated the volunteers who wheeled me around when I was too weak to walk to the NICU on my own.

My only complaint is one labor and delivery front desk employee who would not even look at me when I arrived to check in. I was screaming during labor contractions, trying to fill out the paperwork she handed me, and she did not display any empathy. Her attitude made me worry about how the rest of the hospital staff would treat me. Thankfully the rest of my birthing and postpartum journey turned out well. I would choose Good Sam again to give birth.

My first time ever visiting this store was delightful and educational. I went there to buy gifts for a relative. One purchase did not come with a box, so the woman behind the counter (perhaps the owner?) went and searched for one. She even gift wrapped the item for me and included a pretty bow! She also gave me a brief oral history about the store (the first store opened in San Francisco over 100 years ago) and even showed me how to fold an origami samurai helmet. I will definitely be back for future purchases.
