The the staff is really compassionate and they are dedicated in taking care of your child but my son was hear since yesterday around 8:00pm and still waiting 24 hours later for him to have a surgery to have a pin and screws put in his elbow so it's the surgical department that I'm upset with I understand that it's a big hospital but they are supposed to be the best but if your emergency is a broken bone I would go somewhere else. They want me to starve my child for as long as it takes till they can get him in and they told me and my husband to wait till midnight to see if they can get him in then if not they will let us go home then have us come back In a week with an appt that still may take all day with an appt. Crazy right! But all of the nurses are great and even the other staff are great just not the surgery department I guess or that's who the doctors and nurses say they are waiting for them to have room for his surgery.
So the stars are for the staff other then that I say a 1 but that's for the nurses too they have really great nurses and at least they have I pads, x box, and Wii systems hear to keep the kids minds off of there pain that's great too. Overall it's a good hospital just the starving my kid and waiting forever for a surgery that makes me so upset. I will say that there are children in worse sercomstances then mine like all the child chemo patients that are hear they do take very good care of them and are the number 1 hospital for kids with problems like that so to think of those parents and what they have to go through I do give them credit for being a good hospital for thoes cases but if you are going to children's hospital with your child with a broken bone you may want to think about it first how long you may wait that's if they got to have pins or screws put in i guess my sons case is a little different then most.
