Review of LAC-USC Medical Center

I always stood away from this place because of all...

I always stood away from this place because of all the horror stories (from the previous hospital) but I guess I was just affiliating them.

My 4 y/o is nonverbal and autistic, and was suffering from an eye problem for over a week. I took him to his pediatrician and then to the CHLA ER (where we had the WORSE experience) and we were told nothing was wrong. I decided to bring him to LAC+USCs' ER because his eye was just getting redder and irritated by the minute. I did not know they had an ER just for Pediatrics!! They attended us quickly, maybe we went on a good day, who knows.

The entire staff here are just Fantastic!! From the nurses to the Doctors - I cannot express how much they understood and cared for my son. They made everything so easy and really helped with their thorough explanation of procedure and honesty. They even brought in a Eye Specialist in no time and finally (third times a charm) he was the one who was able to see what was wrong with my sons eye and gave us the best possible care.

To Dr. Katheria & the other awesome attending Dr (don't remember his name) - THANK YOU!!! You'll never know how much I appreciate your care. We need more patient, caring, understanding, and loving Doctors like both of you. If in the future we need more care, we will be coming back to you.
