After a year+ of Children's I found the ED to be exceptional along with nursing staff, many residents, and most attending. However, I would give their OR 1 star and their Kidney Center 2 stars. After discharge, I kept trying to get an appt but our contact nurse, Sylvia, repeatedly told me we couldn't come in. My child developed a number of side effects that the Kidney Center did not manage and let get out of control. We've been lucky to see a very good doctor (not all the docs there are good--one promised to meet me in the e... read more

First of all this is an uncomfortable review to write because I am sure there are many very talented and life-saving physicians treating very sick kids at Children's. However, my experience in trying to find behavioral/psychological services for my teenager was so awful that I have to alert others. First if you are in my position you already know how hard it is to find services, especially if you are low-income. I spent an entire day (6 solid hours) talking to Children's and encountered the same compartmentalization, bureauc... read more

I have been in the hospital with my 14 year old for four days, she has a very rare and serious disease. From the moment we were admitted via flight for life, I made it very clear to every person that walked through her door that I needed two things. 1. A doctor who had knowledge of said disease to discuss my child's condition and explain things to me 2. A plan for pain. As her disease does not allow her to take many of the drugs, and since her level of pain during an attack is comparable with childbirth, i asked to utilize t... read more

I'm so happy I brought my family to children's only to find out my 9 month old baby was not allowed to accompany me and my wife to the surgical waiting room. I guess children don't really matter as much as we would like to think here at children's. save yourself the headache and take your kids to Swedish

Great care but dealing with the billing department has been a degrading, frustrating process. We couldn't pay our bill in its entirety and were offered a payment plan. Great- or so I thought. The representatives in the financial department have been so rude and insulting that I cried after one rep's confusing and degrading explanation of my account. I don't cry easily. I did get an apology from the manager (the representative, on top of being rude, was feeding me wrong information about the account) but wondered about the ty... read more

If you or your child is on Medicaid expect to get crappy care and not be top priority regardless of the circumstances. Unfortunately I have taken my children to this dump of a hospital because im a nice person and was giving them the benefit of the doubt. First let me start out with mess up #1: I had just had my son and I was being seen there as well in the "young mother's clinic" for my post pardom visit. I had my pap and all the other things that went along with it but no urine sample to test for the STDs. I know this beca... read more

I am a type I insulin-dependent diabetic. On Wednesday, November 30th at approximately 5:35pm I arrived at the Children's Hospital with a blood sugar level of around 400. I collapsed on the floor of the emergency room due to being in diabetic ketoacidosis and severe dehydration. I immediately informed the security officer that I was in possession of a concealed weapons permit and an unloaded handgun on my right side. The security officer properly took possession of both. Immediately thereafter the doctors and nurses arrived ... read more
