I labored in the warm birthing tub, it was so great to be able to move around freely in the water during contractions. I found most of the staff to be wonderful, though there was one nurse who was a total Nazi to me after I refused to pee in a cup for a drug test. That nurse then put some things on my chart that I later saw and was angry about, but after talkking with the hospital administration, it was straightened out. They're cookies are pretty good, and they'll give you as many as you ask for! —ElisaWeller

I currently live in Sacto but am moving to Dixon the middle of November and I'm due to have my first child the end of the month in December...so I need to find a Davis OBGYN as soon as possible! I'll be delivering at SUTTER DAVIS HOSPITAL but need to transfer my prenatal care soon b/c my current OBGYN only delivers at Sutter Memorial Hospital.

CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A GREAT OBGYN IN AND/OR AROUND DAVIS???

Also, please feel free to share your good and bad experiences as well. Thanks for the advice! —jomama11

2009-03-02 13:06:23   Both my girlfriend and I have had bad experiences with Sutter Davis's emergency room staff. When my girlfriend had a problem with her ears being clogged, the only treatment they could offer was irrigation (spraying water into the ear), which had already been done the same day by the nurse at Cowell Medical, which only hurt her more. Also, when I was very sick one evening, I went to the same emergency room. The night staff was very unprofessional. One nurse seemed to like squeezing the needle into my arm so hard that the pressure from the liquid made it feel like my veins were going to explode. I heard her chatting with her supervisor, and apparently from what they said, I was not the first person to be hurt by her. Rather than reprimanding her, the nurse and her supervisor just had a hearty laugh at my expense and continued squeezing the fluid into my IV at a painfully fast rate. Maybe these experiences are isolated, but two bad experiences have left me very skeptical about Sutter's emergency room.

On the other hand, all other services at Sutter Davis are great. I was checked into the hospital once last July, and the care I received was superior. Both my general doctor and my specialist are also very knowledgeable, caring people. —hokusman

2009-06-15 18:00:33   I have fond memories of this place as I delivered here, and the staff aside from the Dr. who delivered my baby was fantastic. The hospital is clean and updated, nice. Love Sutter. —JuanaBNDavis

2009-09-11 20:17:47   Earlier this summer my boyfriend had a seizure, and I was freaking out since this was the first time I've seen a seizure. A friend drove us to Davis Sutter and the staff were great. They were very nice, caring, and hospitable, and they gave us free Gatorade! They gave the bf an MRI and CAT scan, and we were done in about 8 hours. Go Davis Sutter! —txwong

2009-12-25 16:07:18   ONE OF THE WORST HOSPITAL I HAVE EVER SEEN. MY GIRLFRIEND'S HEAD GOT HIT AND SHE WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. ALL THEY DID WAS CHECKING HER BLOOD PRESSURE AND ONE DOCTOR CAME OUT AND CHECKED HER. The whole process was not muh longer than five minustes. We have to pay a rip off fee around $700 dollars. We paid the physician fee about 200 dollars first and we applied for the chairity progoram for the remaining hospital fee around 400 dollars. We waited for few weeks for the chairty program results and one day we called them and they said the application is still under reviwing. On the same date. THEY FILED THE RECORDS TO THE COLLECTION AGENCY WITHOUT LETTING US KNOW. They obviously tricked us and this is not nice at all. —oyounggo

2010-01-02 18:24:59   Damn you Sutter, worst Emergency Care and billing style EVER!! Thanks for the 3 hours it took for you to clean out my cut. ( I fell off my bike onto pavement and cut my face) If I'd known the bills would be so complicated I would've just went to Cowell, I live right behind it for crying out loud. The bills came in twice times!! But I was charged three times. I am so not happy about this right now considering that my insurance company should cover for most of it. I should've just given a fake name for all I care at this moment. I'd rather die than to go to that hospital ever again. Thanks Sutter. Now I know where the non-profit part comes into play. —lovelovelove

2010-01-03 23:32:54   Been there twice: Once in 2004 for my husband's emergency appendectomy and once when I had pneumonia in 2006. Both times the staff and doctors were great. But I agree with the problems that people have had with billing. After I was treated for pneumonia I was sent a bill EVERY MONTH! The amount was different every time. After a year long fight with Sutter and my health insurance which was required to cover the cost 100%, Sutter kept reducing the bill which finally went to $55.00, then they sent it to collections. —jsbmeb
