Re: Which hospital is better
My drs recommended Good Sam because (god forbid) there is something wrong they have an excellent NICU.
I know many people that have been in Good Sam and the compliants were low (of course there are always some) so I comfortable knowing I will be delivering there. I havent heard much (good or bad) on Southside.

Re: Which hospital is better
Both are very good hospiitals.
My dr. was affiliated w/ both, but now ideals primarily w/ Southside.
I think the only negative I've heard about Good Sam is they can get extremely crowded.
They also only now have 1 private room.
At Southside:
They are now affiliated w/ North Shore/LIJ
They have 9 private rooms.
They just redid their maternity ward.
They also have a NICU unit.
They have 1 nurse assigned to you & your baby for the 12 hours they are on duty--not a separate nurse for you & another for baby.
They let your baby stay w/ you through the night if you decide to breast feed.
They allow DH to spend the night IF you are in a private room.
They have a separate parking lot & entrance for when you are admitted to labor/delivery.

Re: Which hospital is better
My co-worker's wife is a PA and she works at all different hospitals and she said she would rather deliver at Good Sam over Southside but didnt say why.

Re: Which hospital is better
I absolutely LOVED southside. My sil just delivered at GS, and Southside was much more flexible and accomodating,
ETA: I am sure you will get many different answers on this. It all depends on individual experiences.
Plus, the private rooms and the seperate waiting area was a HUGE plus.
