Children's National Emergency Department at United Medical Center

Our visit was great. At first I was skeptical because of the reviews, but it was the only place to go. My daughter was moved to a treatment room within 5 minutes. We had the most attentive Doctors, nurse and Physician. They explain every treatment and what they needed to do. They were very friendly and their bedside manners was amazing. The 11 hours we spent there was long and tiresome, but because the positive attitude of the staff it wasn't bad. I will most likely use their service again. Thank you.

Got to childrens hospital at 7:15pm, brought my 2 year old in with a high fever. Vitals we’re not taken upon intake. Two hrs later one side of my daughters face turned red.I literally begged a white nurse to take her temp, and she took it in the mouth, my 2 year old was lethargic and wouldn’t close her mouth.The white nurse turned to her white manager and said something her manager said “there are people here that can’t breath”. Thank God a black male nurse heard my cry as I begged him to take her temperature. His first response was why didn’t she take it under the arm, as we both shook our heads, When he did 104. A 2 yr old with a temperature of 104. Disgusting don’t leave until 3:30 am. Never again.

This hospital is horrible, my son is having issues and the doctor he saw was unable to diagnose him but was concerned about his blood pressure which has been high 5 different times and him having a gastrointestinal bleed. The doctor told me she was waiting to hear back from a gastrointestinal doctor and a kidney doctor and she’d call me with their recommendation when she reached them. Well it’s now the next day and not only did she never reach out to me she is not at work today. I called the ER and no one is taking my son's health seriously. My son is sick and having stomach issues and has vomited blood. How careless can these people be.

I took my great-grandson to the ER at about 12:45AM Sunday morning because he had a fever and wasn't feeling well. The doctor informed me he may have strept throat and took a culture and did a COVID-19 test. He is laying beside me and thinks something is in throat and I have yet to receive any information whether his test was positive or negative for either test. The doctor informed me it would take about an hour for the strept throat and for us to go home and she would call me before her shift ended at 7:00AM. I have called twice with no results. This is unacceptable and disgusting that this child is suffering and hardly able to eat because his throat hurts. It's 2:54 AM Monday and I have heard nothing. Shame on this Hospital.
