Dayton children's hospital Reviews

If you can find ANY OTHER OPTION to get your child COVID 19 tested , TAKE IT!! My child has Allergies and they decided DAY BEFORE her surgery to require she get a covod 19 test or they are Cancelling her surgery we have waited Months to get. We have been in line for almost 2 hours and are only half way through the line. She has been sobbing for 45 minutes because she has been stuck in the car seat so long and they won't let surgery patients get tested anywhere else. This is ridiculous she's barely 2 yrs old. I did covid 19 testing for a living there ARE better ways this could be set up or they could of at least allowed surgery patients to make appointments or be tested else where. They have us wrapped through 3 parking lots. This far in testing should not be this ridiculous .

Dayton Children s Emergency room was the worst emergency we have ever been to!! They had the worst doctor on duty who instead of explaining to us what happened to our daughter, he discharged us! Can you believe it? He came in the room woke my daughter up which let me remind you she wasn t feeling to well, woke her up just to give her apple juice and let us go without giving us an explanation on what was going on with her. They prescribed medicine without telling us how to use it. He never apologized or anything! We wasn t nice to my daughter and didn t make her feel better. We waited 4 long ours outside to get in a room bc they didn t have any rooms available. I don t recommend their Emergency for your baby!

I am extremely UNIMPRESSED!! I brought my 2 month old in who ended up testing positive for RSV. She was not eating, having trouble breathing and puking. We were told that it s normal and will get worse before it gets better. We brought her in the next day due to her breathing getting worse and we found out that she also had bronchiolitis and an ear infection which they missed the first day. Then we were told to just ride the wave and she will be fine. A few hours later we still were uncomfortable with her so to make a long story short we took her to nationwide children s im Columbus and as soon as the check in nurses saw her they immediately put her in a room to check vitals, her heart rate and oxygen were so low they rushed us to a room to put her on a breathing mask, we are currently preparing for ICU. Dayton told us she would be fine and had we listened to them, something terrible could have happened. Please do not truth them with your kids, respectfully

Great customer service!

This has been a great place for my son, keeping him in great health!

He received his eye exam here and today he just received his first vaccine so we'll see you in 2 weeks and we will give you an update!!

Second time back here for head injury with my 2 yr old. Requested a CT scan of her head now(since she got out of restraints when they tried to do it last time) after we told them she would need sedated bc she is abnormally strong and! we've been sitting here for an hour! She went from acting fine to having a really high temp so brought her back in of course. So she could have a blood clot or brain bleed and taking an hr to even be seen??? This place used to be amazing, used to come here all the time with my boys who are now 15&11 and now it's just disappointing. Past few times it's insane the lack of urgency they have now!

Been trying to get our daughter in for 2 years, Corona inhibited this for part of the time. They are refusing to see our daughter for dental work now because she is a year too old now. Unable to refer us to anyone else. Just find it tacky they won't help a little girl that was inhibited due to a medical pandemic.

Took my kids for covid testing today, and I gotta say even though there was a long wait it went smoothly. The guy who is directing traffic and making sure you are registered is working his butt off, probably harder working than anyone else on that campus currently. So cut him some slack and be patient people. Great job guys and gals thanks for doing what you're doing!!! Stay healthy!!!

I honestly think Childrens is Great when they see your children. When it comes to getting hired for employment they are not so professional. They say they don't Discriminate, That is a complete LIE! It doesn't matter how hard you work or even if the department you went for the job loves you. It don't matter the Hiring department and HR discriminate bad.

The anxiety of my child's bloody injury was outdone by the awful experience of Dayton Children's. Incompetence, miscommunication, attitude, manipulation, unnecessary tasks insisted on, and the silent treatment. Not to mention lack of bedside manner (except for 2-3 employees we met). The environment is not at all conducive to children. Most staff are terrible with kids. I now understand why people hate hospitals, distrust doctors, and disbelieve claims by the medical industry. Individual employees' hearts may be in the right place, but the system is broken, rotten, and disgraced. You're better off buying your own CT scan machine and x-ray. 0/5 stars.

I took my infant here on 6/11/21. She had a high fever at home almost 104, coughing and had been inconsolable for days. She hit the point where she refused and spit out any medication given...It was a Saturday so her doctor said you should definitely take her to the ER. When the nurse practitioner came in she checked my babies breathing and temperature, THATS IT! she then said we can give her tylenol which they handed to me to give her. She of course spit it all out. The practitioner then said "some kids are miserable at 101 degrees I know you're concerned but we get kids with 106 degree fevers running around like nothing is wrong. She probably has a virus" which I agree but they didnt test for anything including COVID. So we were discharged with no help. I received my bill and with the ER charge and the nurse practitioner charge its $520.00 for 10 min of time and a dose of tylenol that I HAD TO GIVE and she spit out. It was the worst experience at a hospital I've ever had, no one cared enough to give my baby a covid test or look into anything past taking her temperature. I'd say go somewhere else but with kids you dont get an option here.
