We live in Montrose, Colorado and our 9 year old son was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor in 2015 at Children's Hospital. From the moment we checked-in, after driving through the night, we really felt like the staff cared and understood the scary position we were in because they were so kind. A few days later our son had surgery to remove the tumor and thanks to the amazing skills of Dr. Handler, his neurosurgeon, it was completely removed. Not only was Dr. Handler a great surgeon, but he was very personable and made a very scary experience for our son and family less so. The nurses and therapists that treated our son in the ICU and elsewhere during his recovery were awesome and made the experience as positive as it could be. He has returned many times for MRI's and checkups and our experience with his Neuro-Oncologist, Dr. Green, and the Radiology Department have been great every time. They have been responsive when setting up appointments or calling with questions about symptoms. We feel blessed to have this incredible regional facility in Colorado!
