The Valley Birthplace is great, wonderful nurses and providers, comfortable rooms, warm yet professional atmosphere, accommodating towards families, and respectful of mothers' wishes.

My son who has autism has gone to their ED several times and got care there. His grandfather was a regular patient with serious illnesses that were managed there. Yes it is a small hospital but they can send complex cases outside. Or if you are like me and are from Boston get care there.

I feel like one star is too high a rating for this facility. I scheduled an appointment that is essential as a lead up to bariatric surgery months in advance and I was not given the proper information on where in the hospital I was going, who I would be seeing, what suite number the appointment was in, or even where to park. I arrived at the facility and asked the front desk attendant if they could look up where I was going in the system (I was an EMT less than a year ago and I know that this is a common problem). The attendant in an annoyed tone shooed me away claiming they could not help me. I called the main hospital telephone number and when I asked my questions I was transferred to another information line where I was immediately sent to voicemail. I searched up and down the building and could not find one sign, staff member, or department that would help me find out where my appointment was. I Never did get seen for my appointment and so far I have not been contacted by AVH wondering where I am. These appointments take months to reschedule and I had taken time off of work specially because these appointments are so hard to be put in for. I would rather drive two plus hours to Manchester because at least there I will not be treated like trying to get myself healthy is a burden on everyone in the hospital

Emergency room experience. Had great experience there. Doctors and nurses were very nice. Very sweet to children. There was one nurse, our original nurse we had, was just fantastic! Her name was Kelly. I have absolutely have bad reviews. This place just has some very nice staff. We are lucky to have staff like them in our hospital.

If you're in a rush with a serious emergency . Go to littleton or anywhere else where they care for their patients & deliver fast service instead of socialize . I've been to berlin in extreme amounts of pain needing serious attention with a blood infection and waited 2 hours to be even talked to, not even seen.

Terrible hospital. They can only get the bottom of the barrel reject drs. Trust me, I'm well-versed in their ineptitude.

I have had excellent service including a knee replacement surgery. Five stars even though registration still needs either a second associate or the ability to call for help when necessary.

I used the ER at this small hospital for a dislocated shoulder on a Saturday about 3 PM. I only used the ER, so I can't comment about other services offered at this hospital. The nursing staff was friendly but folks need to understand that this hospital provides limited services, like an urgent care center would provide in a larger city. A few things that I noticed: 1. There is no radiologist on staff here, so the Xray tech sends off images to be read elsewhere, which took an hour in my case. I'm not opposed to images being read elsewhere, but an hour is a long time to wait when you're in pain. 2. This is no MD anesthesiologist here anymore. They have an nurse anesthetist. If a patient needs anesthesia outside of normal Monday-Friday hours, they have to page one of the nurse anesthetists, who took 45 minutes to arrive. If anesthesia is done incorrectly, you can really damage the patient, so I would have preferred a higher level provider than RN. However, I was given the choice of either being transferred to Dartmouth Hitchcock hospital (2 hours+ away), or going with the nurse. I chose the nurse as I didn't want a 2+ hour delay. 3. The attending ER doctor informed me that he wasn't comfortable trying to reset my shoulder more than once. If he wasn't successful on the first attempt, he was planning to transfer me to Dartmouth Hitchcock, as they have more resources. 4. Nobody goes to the hospital for the great food, but Saturday dinner choice was either either turkey or ham sandwiches on white bread. So much for nutrition! 5. This is a small facility, and limited staff gets overwhelmed quickly. If two patients arrive at the same time as happened during my stay on a Saturday afternoon, they seem to have difficulty managing several patients at the same time. There were only 2 RNs present when I was there, and they started bickering publicly as to who would get the additional patients. Summary: Everyone's situation is different, but folks going to this small hospital need to understand that this facility lacks a lot of the specialties and support that larger hospitals have. Like an urgent care facility, they can handle simple things such as a simple sprain. For more complex needs, you may get transferred to a larger facility and you might wonder why you didn't save time by going to the larger facility initially.

All of the staff are helpful and courteous, and they did a great job on my extensor tendon surgery. They even fed me ice cream!

Had a very bad experience here at this hospital. The doctors and nurses in the ER were wonderful. It was one of the hospitalist.
