Obstetrics wise they have a low c section rate and the postpartum unit is newly renovated private rooms
NICU wise, they are a level 3 NICU, same as Hackensack. Only level 3 in Hudson county. They can treat any acute condition , only Newark Beth Israel is higher locally because hey have ECMO which treats rare cardiac anomalies and heart failure, which presumably you would know already from your ultrasounds.
The care is good at the NICU I have first hand experience there you can message me if you want
As far as peoples complaints, some people have complained on Reddit about nursing issues.
A lot of the hate of jcmc is regarding other departments like the ER. But the NICU is actually a local gem. JCMC used to have a pediatric ICU (for non neonates) but it wasn’t busy enough to be financially viable and they had to give it up. Maybe 10 years ago. Sucks because there’s no pediatric icu in Hudson county now. But we have a great NICU.
