Children's Specialized Hospital – Hamilton

Miss Grimm

I've been bringing my son here for years without issue until today. Last Friday my son came home from school with nasal congestion. Saturday I took him to urgent care to get him covid tested which came back negative. this morning after 5 days of allergy medicine my son woke up still congested. I decided that before his therapy appointment tonight I would take him to his primary care and retested just to be safe. When I walked in I tried to explained to the first security officer that my son has been sick, but I have 2 negative test results for them and that he has bacterial sinititus which isn't contagious. The second I said the word sick...the security officer ran to get the other security officers and they gang up on me and my son and threw us out of the hospital, and couldnt be bothered to even glance at my paperwork from his primary care doctor. When I tried to explain my sons case they spoke over me. My autistic child who doesnt understand whats happening is trying to proceed to go into the hospital when one of the security guards stand infront of him and touches him to try to motion him back out, which then causes my son to become frustrated with sensory overload. I was trying to be a proactive parent and member of society but I guess when power hungry security officers can gang up on a women alone with a special needs child they'll do just that and then try to excuse it by just trying to keep people safe. safe from what if my child isn't contagious? now of course whoever manages the hospital isn't there for me to speak to and I can't find a number or ext to whoever that person is so I can call in the morning to file a complaint so I guess I'll just file the complaint here but I'm sure nothing will be done about it.

I have only positive things to say about this facility. My family and I have been going here for 5 years now. We see the pediatrician, developmental, neurology, psychology, audiology, pt, OT and speech. I love all our doctors and therapists and we only have to go to one place for all of our care. If you do the work and participate you will get the most out of the services. They have really helped us on our journey.

They cancel you from one moment to another It does not matter if you have traveled for more than 1 hour

Don't waste your time or money going here. The doctors aren't patient with special needs children, speech therapists decide whether or not your child is autistic (which is illegal), and they double bill you for appointments that THEY cancel. A year later and I'm still fighting for my money and childs needs. I HOPE they try to contact me so I can get an advocacy lawyer involved. Ultimately, this place needs to be shut down and their doctors need to find new careers. Don't waste any amount of time or money here.
