Praise From Our Community
At Children’s Hospital we take pride in how our families experience our services. We are equally proud to earn the respect and praise of our colleagues. Here’s a sample of recent recognition from both families and professional organizations.
From our Families
- "Everyone was extremely polite and helped me understand everything that was going to happen. It seems like a very organized group whose first concern is the child’s safety."
(Dental Services)
- "Everything that was done to him was explained to me and I really appreciated it. It makes you feel good to know what is going on."
(Therapy Services)
- “The best personalized care I have ever experienced. If it wasn’t for the feeding therapists, our child would still have a feeding tube.”
(Feeding Program)
- "I am very pleased with the psychologist. She made my child feel at ease even though I was more nervous than he was. Her attitude was professional yet comforting."
(Psychology Services)
- "We have been coming for a year and my child has improved. We love the staff. They are all caring."
(Therapy Services)
- “The staff is wonderful at gaining confidence and cooperation of my son with Down’s Syndrome. The staff deals with special needs children far better than other dental offices in the area.”
(Dental Services)
- “Our child has no idea he is actually doing therapy because his therapist is an expert in incorporating therapy into play. Our child counts down the days until therapy each week and literally sings on the mornings he has therapy.”
(Therapy Services)
- “The psychologist makes my child feel comfortable. She opens up and talks to her and actually enjoys going to see her psychologist.”
(Psychology Services)
- "[The physical therapist] is terrific! He has worked with my daughter for a few years now and she has come a long way. His positive attitude, service, and caring way mean the world to us."
