Very long wait times. Even if you are bleeding and very sick they do not know how to triage. Nurses are rude and condescending. One nurse berrated a babys mom for asking for a blanket. They clearly hate their jobs and should not be working with children or in Healthcare. I have never seen so many rude nurses. Oh and they lie about having a room available only to make you wait longer.

My child is under the age of two and needs cranial surgery in order for her brain to develop properly. The surgeons have been absolutely amazing their nurses even more so. But my problem lies with the RUDE AND UNNECESSARY PERSONAL COMMENTS made to me by their Anesthesia team. They are now REFUSING TO WORK ON MY CHILD who has CLEARANCE FOR SURGERY BY HER PEDIATRICIAN and REFUSING TO SEE MY CHILD in order to get a better scope of the matter. Apparently the entire team denied working on my child. They have not given her a chance or suggested any allergy medication. It feels COMPLETELY personal. Shouldve never gone to Banner. If I have to go to Phoenix to see my child I will be looking into legal action due to denying my child necessary surgery and their comments towards a single mother.

This hospital is a joke My daughter has epilepsy and should be triaged by protocol. Instead we waited 5 hours for a room then when I told others in the waiting room one in particular that I went and grabbed food for her daughter told me that she would let them know when they called our name. Well apparently while I was gone they took everyone else in and didnt save a room for the triage patient with most complexities. Big no no. Formal complaints will be filed .

Took my child in with hives and wheezing 4 hours later we hadnt been seen. When we got there I counted people waiting in the lobby it was 24 they called 2 children back during the 4 hours we waited. I also counted the people I saw leave without being seen and it was about 15 and they all had also been waiting for hours. We also left without being seen because my childs symptoms resolved during our wait . I will not be returning and regret taking him here I shouldve taken him to TMC. Dont risk bringing your child here.

Had a scare with my 6month old daughter so we brought her into the emergency to get checked out and i have got to say that the Doctors and staff went above and beyond to figure out what was going on with my baby they answered all of my questions and concerns and were very nice and patient. The wait time to get back into a room was less than 5 minutes. The staff was excellent and treated my baby girl with urgency and respect. They truly take care of the little ones and baby was discharged and sent home smiling and laughing back to her normal self. Thank you for the good experience I highly recommend this Hospital especially for children. Thank you from me my baby and family.

My nephew has been in ICU going on nine weeks. The staff has been extremely kind and informative. We pray for the staff to have strength and keep strong. They treat Joseph as if he is their only patient. God bless them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your pediatrician might be able to administer screenings, but most general doctors are not trained to formally diagnose autism. They might refer you to a qualified diagnostic clinician which include:
Developmental Pediatricians
Child Psychologists
Child Psychiatrists
Pediatric Neurologists
Pediatric Neuropsychologists
Your experience might look different depending on the type of clinician you choose. Many families prefer working with developmental pediatricians. Others might work with a psychiatrist or another specialist to get a different perspective.
A formal ASD diagnosis, or a medical diagnosis, helps you get the support your family needs, especially within the context of accessing medically necessary therapies and services.
Insurance Coverage for Therapies: Medically necessary therapies for ASD are often covered by insurance including, but not limited to, speech therapy, ABA therapy, and occupational therapy.
Financial Support: A diagnosis is required when applying for social security or disability benefits.
Plan for Care: A diagnosis helps identify your child’s support needs. For example, your child might need to develop social communication and self-regulation skills.
Future Research: The more data we gather through evaluations, the more we can improve services for autistic children and adults.
Yes, a psychiatrist is a good person to speak with regarding medication for your child. While you might have an idea of what might work for your child, it’s best to have a conversation with a medical professional, such as a psychiatrist. What works for one autistic child may not work for another, so consider your child’s individual needs and goals.
If you’d like to explore prescription medications or supplements for your child, weigh your options and concerns with your child’s medical team and create a plan. Discuss developments and side effects with your child’s doctor and adjust as needed.
A mental health professional (such as a pediatric psychologist) can help concerns around anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, behavioral challenges, OCD, grief/loss.
Once you find a quality physical therapist you want to work with, here are a few things you need to know:
There will be an evaluation. First, you can expect an assessment to identify your child’s areas of strength and needs. A physical therapy evaluation usually lasts 30 minutes.
You’ll review and approve the care plan. The physical therapist will create a care plan, also known as a plan of care (POC), outlining the goals and strategies. They will review this with you and your care team before moving forward with therapy sessions.
Physical therapy sessions will be fun. PT with children is designed to be enjoyable. The therapist will use strategies and exercises based on your child’s needs. Exercises might involve playing on large stability balls, obstacle courses, movement equipment, stretches, and other hands-on activities.
Expect home exercises. Physical therapists commonly assign exercises to work on at home. Doing these exercises with your child outside therapy sessions can improve your child’s overall progress.
Yes! Most providers offer physical therapy in their offices or a clinical setting, but many are offering at-home options. Virtual options have become more popular in recent years. You might facilitate care with the guidance of the physical therapist.
Pediatric physical therapy is considered safe and should not hurt. Autistic children spend their time in PT moving and exploring their environment. If you are concerned about your child experiencing pain during certain exercises, especially if they may struggle to communicate and advocate for modifications, speak with their physical therapist about your concerns.
Get involved with local organizations, support groups, and professionals specializing in those hard of hearing. They can offer guidance, resources, and opportunities for your kiddo’s development. The more you know, the better you can support your child.
Here are some suggestions to get you started:
Hands & Voices is a parent-driven, nonprofit organization that provides unbiased support, regarding communication methodology and technology, to families with deaf or hard of hearing children.
Gallaudet University — Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center is a federally funded institution offering exemplary academic programs to deaf/HoH students. They provide early intervention services, sign language classes, and uniquely designed resources for deaf/HoH communities.
Hearing Loss Association of America is a nonprofit organization with a mission to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss by providing information, education, support, and advocacy.
