Dayton Children's South Campus

The staff was so friendly. We took my 9month old to the ER for a fever. They diagnosed quickly and got us in and out with no problem and being so early in the morning, the staff were all super nice and friendly even when my son wouldn’t stop screaming! I appreciate them so much for being so helpful and answering questions.

We saw Dr Albert in Ortho for our 2 yr old who is obviously limping. He had a toddler fracture in the other leg 6 months ago and so we immediately were concerned this could be case again. Dr. Albert should NOT be working at a childrens medical center to begin (no enthusiasm, no character - like a stone personality). He was in the room for maybe 5 minutes and decided our child would be fine. No further investigation - just come back in a week or two if still persists. Our child is clearly in pain today but NOT going to childrens to see this guy. Heading to columbus to nationwide. Dr albert should consider changing environments completely. Oh and the xray room matches Dr Albert personality. Nothing to look at and distract kids. The main Dayton campus has all sorts of stuff which helps ease kids through the xrays.

My daughter would have been a lot better off had we never gone to the ER. For starters, we came in for a 104 degree fever, and the room they had us in was very hot with no air flow. I asked everyone that came into the room if they could lower the temperature or provide us with a fan for our feverish baby. They all said they would check, and then left and did not return or do anything. We were waiting for several hours in the heat to be seen despite it being late and my baby crying. It was then past my babies bedtime by the time the nurse came in. I had just breastfed my baby and she was finally sleeping peacefully in my arms after a very trying day. Her fever had also gone down thanks to the Tylenol I had given to her before we left for the ER (the ER had not given her anything or done anything to help with her fever). That was when the nurse came in to administer motrin. I voiced concern beforehand. I told her my baby was tired, I could feel that her fever had gone down, and that she may vomit, which would be a big problem because I had just nursed her for the night. The nurse became defensive and shut me down, telling me that she knew better than I did (the mom) because she was a nurse. She then proceeded to force feed my baby motrin as my baby cried and screamed in protest. I kept pleading with the nurse saying,  "let's just give her a minute" as the nurse forced purple motrin down my baby's throat. While the nurse was force feeding motrin, my baby vomited more vomit than I thought could ever come out of such a little baby, and all my breastmilk that my sick baby desperately needed was thrown up all over me. The nurse then proceeded to casually brush it off and left the room, leaving me covered in vomit with a screaming baby. At that point I tried to leave, but a different nurse convinced me I had to stay because my sick baby had thrown up (thanks to the other nurse) and dehydration was now a concern. My baby is purely breastfed and will not take a bottle, so I had no way to rehydrate her. The ER not only did nothing for my sick baby, they actually made matters much worse. We would have been A LOT better off had we stayed home. The whole visit was unnecessarily traumatic all around. The nurses did not listen or provide care in any capacity to my sick baby.

This location has been a huge help to my family. Having quality care for my children closer to my house is so helpful when my kids are sick late at night. Thank you.
