UF Health Labor and Delivery - Gainesville (FL)

5 /5 Amber Salinas: I delivered my daughter on 6/24 at Shands and I am so grateful that we chose to deliver here. It came highly recommended by friends. I had such a positive birth experience!! My nurses were amazing. The room was spacious and clean. Even the recovery rooms are a good size. My L&D nurse, Chelsea, was a great advocate for me and my birth plan. Everyone was genuinely so kind and attentive. They took great care of me and my baby. I wish I could give more stars. Thank you so much for giving me the best experience! I am eternally grateful.

5 /5 Amber Starr Banks: I have nothing but amazing things to say about the labor and delivery team. I had to have an emergency C-section. After starting my induction, my water broke and my baby’s heart rate kept dropping during contractions. They decided the best option was to go for a C-section. The anesthesiologist, Ryan Belk is the most compassionate person I have ever met in the medical field. Ever. He stayed by my side the entire procedure, encouraging me, making me comfortable and held my hand. I was terrified because this was my first child and I had planned a vaginal birth. So although it was traumatizing, I was surrounded by excellent people that knew what they were doing and, more importantly, love what they do. Dr. Wyatt is amazing!!! She is so confident in what she does. My nurses, Shelby, Suzanne, and Lexi were perfect too. Overall, Great medical staff. I gave birth to a 9lb 5oz baby boy on 2/22/24 at 11:24 a.m. ♥️♥️♥️
