Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of Upmc

My daughter had tooth pain and I brought her to the emergency room(called before bringing her in to check if they have dentist before I drive all the way in) ended up with doctor telling us to give her Tylenol and wait for the weekend to pass (3 day weekend and all of you know how it’s impossible to get dentist appointment for the same day when you call after that 3 days) and then call and schedule appointment with the clinic at hospital. It was insane to hear that-because of course they never forgot to charge emergency room fee! I can’t believe the care at Hospital is that bad!

The staff in the nicu are so nice they make you and your child feel like your at home they went above and beyond for me and my child very supportive

Children's Hospital has treated my son who is now 6 and suffers from a kidney disease, he's gotten excellent care not only from the very best nephrologists but also from the nursing staff all the way to the cleaning staff. Everyone was very patient with him and explained everything to us in terms we "non-medical" parents understand. We also have a second child now being treated for a heart condition and so far the doctors and nurses have been great again!

*•*•*•*•*BE AWARE. BE CAUTIOUS*•*•*•*•* I have read countless CPS horror stories where something so diminutive prompts an investigation or worse. I have always believed There is two sides to every story and that surely there is information that is being left out. At least that is what I used to believe... until it happened to me. I literally rescheduled an appointment. RESCHEDULED not canceled! Turns out false reporting of neglect is illegal in the state of PA.

On two occasions I brought my son Colton in to children’s hospital. The first time was by ambulance to the Er for a head wound. The staff, every single one of those men and women were beyond kind, quick, smart and helpful. Just last night after 7 weeks and multiple pediatrician visits I returned to the Walk in Er for help on the same wound. They did an amazing job. They helped, repaired, referred, and reassured me he would be ok. Now if only every pediatrician visit could have been as helpful as children’s hospital is each time people would have to wait two hours. Even the custodian cleaning my sons room was so truly kind and gifted him legos she was a blessing.
