Report
My little boy broke his leg and this place gave AMAZING care. Literally from the front door to the doctor everyone was so sweet and patient with us. We were seen nearly immediately and once moved to a bed, they didn't move him again in effort to keep pain at a minimum. Highly highly recommend for anyone needing care for their littles.

Last night my kids when inside the emergency room. We had to wait 4 hours to be seen but that wasn't the problem it was how fast doctor Michael Eric Weiss just rushed through them wasn't really helpful and he was only in the room for a minute. Smh I came out my way for my kids to be with the proper care but last night it didn't feel that way. It doesn't matter how many kids you have to see. It's the point I trust the hospital enough to come there.

I took my month old to be seenwe were there for 4 hours only for the nurse to attempt to take blood moving the needle around my child arms! You guys need to do better. No one needs to be around all those sick patients for 4 hrs. DO BETTER!

Report
This hospital use to be the greatest when it comes to nurse that generally care for kids and family. Let me be clear it seems like if your African American you're automatically profile. My child was thirsty she pressed the button the nurse came in and silenced the alarm without bringing the water when asked. I asked for a doctors note for work and school. The nurse told me she doesn't know why I needed one and I wasn't a patient. We were treated horribly. Please bring back the staff that love kids no matter the race. SMH
