Pulmonary Clinic & Pulmonary Hospital Staff 5 ! Been going to Children's hospital for my son's care every 2-3 months for 10 years. We do see several doctors every appointment when we go for his check ups & it takes a good while. It's well worth it as everyone has been wonderful & knowledgeable on my son's condition. They have been very helpful getting him the medical equipment & medications that he needs & have helped out tremendously with our insurance company, when I have troubles getting medications approved due to cost. My son has seen many of the same doctors his whole life. They know him well & have seen him grow from a baby to 10. They coordinate with my son's school, to educate them on his health needs during the time he's in school. My son has been admitted 3 times in his life. Once for 30 days when he was only 2. The staff on the hospital pulmonary level was fantastic with him when he was a baby. Very quiet at night not to wake him during his vital checks. My son still remembers that hospital visit as a good visit even though he was ill & so young. He remembers them taking him to the roof playground where they have Ronald McDonald. They helped us with parking passes, meal vouchers, a couch that pulls out into 2 beds for my husband & I to stay with our son in his room. My son was recently admitted for his third time a week ago. My son was afraid of the finger pokes, when they had to check levels due to the IV antibiotics. So the staff arranged it to come in very quietly at night while he was asleep to do the pokes without waking him. They listened to his fears & concerns, he had with being in the hospital. They explained everything to him when they would do anything from the IV, blood draw & even vital checks. They helped him feel as comfortable as possible with little worry. His room was in the new hospital building. Very nice room for a hospital. Again nice sleeping arrangements for my husband & I, so we could stay with our son in his room. We had our own bathroom for showers, baths for my son & us. My son took his Xbox as they have a nice TV, he took movies to watch, the staff brought him games, puzzles, had a staff member come to his room daily to take him to a gym for exercise & play, a staff member came to his room daily to play board games with him & they also had a massage therapist come give him a massage. He looked forward to seeing Justin every day to go to the gym!! Even though being in the hospital is no fun they try to make it as fun as possible for the children. I honestly can not say enough good things about Children's Hospital & their pulmonary staff! They have helped us & my son so much with his condition. I wouldn't take my child anywhere else for his health needs!!!
