I absolutely love the doctors and nurses. All very kind and respectful. And they're very good with both of my kids after they had surgery so everybody there was very kind and answered all my questions so I'm very pleased with them

The ER options in this area are horrible. Do not bring your children here, go north to Cleveland. 8 hour waits for sick children is unacceptable.

Sent an email over a week ago to patient services/advocate about a pretty big concern and have heard absolutely nothing from Patient Services or the Department that the concern is related to. Definitely feel like the hospital is not looking out for the best interest of my son. "we care for every child that comes through our doors...." Technically true but funny a department has refused to care for my son due to his special needs....hmm....goes against the reported motto of the hospital. I generally do not like to leave public reviews for places but maybe I can get a response this way. No other way has worked. Edited September 1, 2022 to add: I have thought long and hard how to edit this review and after a night of no sleeping thinking about this, I am at the conclusion that I will never forgive or forget the lack of care and disrespect this hospital has shown my special needs son. After a few interactions that were meant to pacify me after I left the original view, I have had no further contact with the hospital regarding how to handle this situation. Furthermore, months ago I requested a hospital administrator to reach out to me and they never did. I find it highly disrespectful and maddening that the hospital can talk about my son and me but they fail to actually talk to me about the situation. As a parent and former employee, I am so upset about the lack of care, respect and regard that my son has gotten from this hospital. All children and especially those with special needs require extra care and support. Again, while the hospital thinks that they did nothing wrong and there is nothing I can do about it, I will never, ever forget this. Nor will I forgive. So to anyone that reads this—especially parents of special needs children—be aware that your child may get too old or “too hard” to be taken care by an organization that mission statement says the complete opposite. I have been totally, 100 percent transparent throughout this process and ordeal so anyone wanting further information can feel free to reach out to me.

It is a really terrible idea to use the internet for medical advice. Doctors get 10 years of education to answer questions like this, so don't trust an internet troll that might have dropped out of high school

I'm sorry you feel that way. If you feel strongly something is that wrong or if doctor says they don't know ask to see a specialist. Don't give up
