Loved the staff here. Very polite and communicates everything in a great way. The nurse was a traveler but she was AMAZING. I can't remember her name bc we had a lot of nurses and doctors involved. She was able to keep my kid super calm even with this being her first IV.

06/08/2022- Blanche(desk 1), the registration personnel for radiology, was extremely rude and unprofessional. We were having issues getting checked in and having trouble reaching the correct party for additional confirmation, and throughout the process, Blanche was slamming the phone down over and over, sighing heavily and loudly asking a minor inappropriate questions, even though all the answers to her questions were in front of her.

She overall had a nasty attitude and became unresponsive at one point. This information has also been relayed to management, who advised Blanche does have a poor disposition when things don't go according to plan. I do hope that she is spoken to and receives additional training; no one should have to deal with her attitude on top of dealing with whatever issue that has brought them to the facility in the first place.

THE ED IS TRASHHHHH! 7 HOURS we sat in a room "monitoring" my 3mo twins. they were diagnosed with rsv from their doctor (chkd practice) NOT UNTIL 5 hours in after i asked SEVERAL times for admin, patient advocate, supervisor, manager, ZOOKEEPER, SOMEBODY! nobody wanted to do anything until i was irate. THEN they brought security and a social worker Hannah who bottom line threatened me, she wasnt the only one, lots of threats and no action, seriously all they did was make everything WORSE and expected me to remain calm after they were telling me one thing and doing nothing. the actual medical teams upstairs so far SOLID AS A ROCK GOOOD PEOPLE.

However CHKD has value statment posted with communication as a point, NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EMPLOYEES LET ALONE PATIENTS! super stressful and traumatic. waiting to hear back from patient advocate because something needs to be done. no parent in these situations needs to go through this EVER.

I don't have access to my children's records because they turned 14 years old. Excuse me? They are minors, not full adults. Who do you think makes their appointments? Me, their mother. Who do you think is bringing them to their appointments? Me, their mother. I was told that I have to bring my minor children to the doctor's office so that they can fill out paperwork authorizing me access to their information. 14 years old! Seriously?

This place is the best there is! We took our son here last night and everyone was fantastic! We have taken our kids here before but I never wrote a review til now. Kelly in the ER was fantastic with my boy. Normally he does not like Dr.s touching him when he is hurt or dont feel good but she was just amazing with him and he had no probkems with her what so ever. we will drive 1.5 hours here every time we need to go.
