Why Deliver at Overlook Medical Center
At Overlook Medical Center you’ll deliver your baby in a supportive, family-oriented environment, staffed by board-certified anesthesiologists, obstetricians, neonatologists, maternal-fetal specialists and nurse practitioners who are trained in the newest diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In our patient rooms, you can enjoy all the comforts of home, plus the extra pampering new mothers deserve, such as massage and aromatherapy. We provide tremendous flexibility in choosing how your baby will be delivered by offering you a wide variety of medically responsible birthing techniques, including hydrotherapy and birthing balls.
