My child has been seen here to manage a few chronic conditions for years. The quality of care is excellent, the providers are top notch, and the facility is great.
Just a couple of issues. After 20 years being treated here, it is frustrating to have to fight with the hospitalists to get him on the right nutrition plan while in patient. Not like all his info isn't listed right there on Epic. They limit him when his prescribed diet is double portion and extra meals. This goes on for days when we are trying to get him to gain weight.
The stupidest thing this hospital does is the security guard at the entrance on weekends and holidays. These are the times when the fewest visitors come to the hospital yet people have to jump through the biggest hoops. Guests are largely unchecked once passing that desk. Anyone can come to this hospital, say Thursday at 2pm, and bring all manner of nefarious items without being stopped, questioned, identified, or noticed. The weekend "security theater" is annoying, rude, and an embarrassment to this institution. I would have less of an issue if this was an everyday process but instead we are all bothered by a stupid process which does nothing to make things safer or better.
