Birth at Madigan Army Medical Center?

Question

I'm trying to decide if Madigan Army Medical Center is the right place for us. Does anyone have any rants or raves about it? I was reading about the differences between civilian and military prenatal care. Some people prefer the civilian care over the military care. This will be my first time delivering on post so I have not yet experienced it. I've given birth to my son in California off post. We are not yet there until much later. I'm just curious to know about anyone else's experiences with military care so I can plan ahead. Especially at Madigan.

Answer

I just switched to tricare standard. The hospital here is a "baby factory"

No thanks! I want personal care.

Answer

I am not at the same base as you are so I can not speak for that medical center however I have had some issues in general with the care at the post where we are before I was pregnant so I can't speak for the ObGyn care. We switched to the tricare where you can go off of base for me bc the care was just ridiculous where I am and I had some bad experiences with the healthcare on post. I have friends who have had no issues giving birth on post and I've known a few that had some issues and didn't like it. It really depends on your doctors and how you feel about them and how comfortable you are with them.
