Emergency room fees that are borderline extortion!! Almost $1000 to have my daughters temperature taken and ear exam because of fever. 4 hour wait period. And absolutely no indication that those expenses would be incurred. They make you sign a document which states there will be "standard ER fees" issued. Don't you think a reasonable human being would indicate to a father that having a temperature taken will cost him nearly $1000? Its unbelievable having come from Australia and now witnessing first hand the disgusting nature of the health system in this country. Where is the common decency to tell a family what will be involved in an ER waiting room upon arrival and check in with the staff? Its appalling. Everything here is driven by money and financial gain.

I received a phone call yesterday asking if I wanted to have a in-home visit from the doctors to check the safety of the house and inspect and make sure everything was OK at first I was a little nervous questioning whether they believed I was able to take take of my kids or if they were safe or not, but I agreed to have them come over and inspect they came by This morning and let me tell you they reassured me that everything was fine and they didn’t think I was doing anything wrong they just wanted to make my home a safer place to prevent something from happening after talking to them for a while I felt very comfortable and happy they had chosen my house to inspect they said they do this once every year they checked the outside the inside the bedrooms and they also check to see how my children’s car seats were placed in my truck and if they were expired or recalled. They gave me some tips and tools to keep my home safe and I am truly thankful Children’s Hospital you go above and beyond to make me and my family feel comfortable thank you so much for caring. I am truly thankful for my children’s doctor Patel N.d. and the staff at Children’s Hospital my family and I Love the hospital and we appreciate everything you do when we have a dr app we feel very comfortable and I never leave with questions unanswered but for you to come all the way to my house and check the safety is incredible thank you so much for caring and taking the time to visit and giving me Some peace of mind and reminding me that we are all human and mistakes happen but we could never be too safe! Thank you so much both Dr. Patel‘s I don’t remember the third lady’s name and I apologize for that but thank you as well for checking my children’s car seats !
Children’s hospital!!
Thank you. You make a difference

14 years ago Dr. VAUGHN STARNES performed an open hear surgery on my first born alot of miracles happened to us on those days. I didn't get to thank him enough at that time but he did such an amazing job on my kid. I had never felt God so closed to us. All the glory to God and bless that doctor and all the staff. I Have my miracle kid who now is a teenager. Thank you 💙🙏

I took my son their yesterday night really is a good place to take your kids. everyone was very nice and for a parent the stress that knowing your baby sick and you don't Know how to help can be really heavy so having a place that focus on children helps

Best place to be if your children have any health issue. Me and my wife are so thankful for all the hard work of the amazing people that works in Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
