“We had a wonderful visit recently. This was our second visit since our daughter had heart surgery at 2 months old in 2008. That was a success! Now 17 yrs later we are here for a new condition. We've never been so happy to be in the care of the doctors at Children's, again! They do go above and beyond and spend a great amount of time with families and patients, but I feel my concerns weren't met 100%. Communication and understanding from patients view was about 75%. I will likely ask for a second opinion at our next follow appt. The experience was great though. Thanks for all you do!”

“Friendly staff, great doctors, and clean environment. We have visited here three times and our experience has been amazing. We live in New Mexico and the weather was not great, but our doctor was very flexible and we really appreciate that.”

“I have a daughter with special needs.And I really was not looking forward to the surgery. However many teams came together (child life, ortho, pain team, hospitalists team, etc) to make it smooth. (Id say enjoyable, but surgeries and hospitalizations are never enjoyable). From the preop to postoperative, everything went smooth. Before Childlife brought a weighted blanket, a sensory machine, soothing lights, and her favorite TV show to watch on an IPAD. They put in a pain port pump for my non verbal child, and put up pics of her favorite cartoon show in the postop & hospital room, and got her a toy from that show too. Every day we work together to come up with a plan of action. I had a place to sleep, a great view from the hospital room, and meals from The family resource center. After we left the hospital, and continue to call us while we're at home.With the pain pump. The hospital and the family resource center just made this experience very smooth. For that i'm appreciative, thank you so much Children's.”
