I had surgery here this morning on my foot. They treated me like I was the only patient they had and answered every question. Very comfortable setting and it has that great feel of a community hospital All the staff in the surgery department are great They included my wife every step of the way and put to rest any concerns we had. I cant speak for everyone but in my experience this was the best hospital experience Ive ever had and the in house pharmacy made everything super convenient I love this place Great bedside manner Really loved you all Dr. Thomas King at Crown Foot and Ankle was my surgeon and Dr. Ford I hope Im spelling her name right was my anesthesiologist and both were great Not to mention everyone from registration to nurses making it all possible. Thanks for all of your hard work today everyone

Really nice and smelled wonderful. Staff was friendly and helpful and the shuttle bus was quick. Lovely experience overall.Quick edit. This experience has increased 10 fold. The staff has been so great with my niece and taking excellent care of her. The compassion they show for patients is one you would expect from family. All of her needs are being met. She has a comfy bed and her pain is controlled after her surgery. Bless this staff.

Security is bad- like we walked in and was just given ICU on a sticker and told to go find someone who can tell me where my loved one was. Searched for 15 minutes. Poor communication with loved ones of patients hospitalized- never called to update. Dirty rooms dirty linens left for days with the clean linen cart across from room. Only amazing person there was Olivia Slone social worker Id give her 5 stars alone.They did treat his condition- that I will say. Thats about it.

I am currently a patient and had some early issues but now I have no complaints. The nursing staff is amazing - so helpful. The kitchen is accommodating to special diets. Every room is private so no roommates. Doctors keep you informed about your progress and respond quickly to concerns or requests.

Great hospital They helped me get my life back on track. The only thing I have against them is they put me on way to much medication causing serotonin syndrome a few days after I left. I had to go back to the ER to fix that issue other than that they were great

I was fortunate enough to be able to be seen this morning in the ER for kidney pain. EVERYONE was wonderful and really cared well for me. I was listened to by all involved. The diagnosis and treatment plan was well explained and well laid out. Thank you to the hospital and care team I am very grateful for the care and I hope you see this.

This is the best hospital Ive been to in quite some time. The Drs came by everyday and explained to us in detail what was going on with Joey and what the plans would be once he got discharged and OMGOODNESS The nurses there are the best They were so nice to us. They made us feel better each day by talking to us and getting to know us. I cant say one thing bad about this place. Even the food nutrition ladies that brought Joeys tray talked to us and made sure I had something to eat also. This hospital was amazing to Joey and I. If it wasnt for them and theyre way of getting to know us I dont think Joey would of stayed that long in a hospital or continued his treatment like he did. So I have great respect for all the staff on the 4th floor and the 7th floor. Thank you to each and everyone of you guys that made our stay alot easier

Cafeteria is a put-off. Been there often. Many of the staff at various stations have sour-puss expressions on their faces and give off a wat u want vibe...

I had an endoscopy this week so I can really only speak on the endoscopy team but I had a great experience with the hospital. Everyone I talked to was so friendly and professional even the receptionist and check in. Each nurse and doctor was so positive explained each thing that was happening and gave me time to ask questions. One of the nurses did have a little trouble finding a vein for the IV but he was very gentle and apologized that it took a while. As someone who avoided going to the doctor for years and have had never had any medical procedures I was very nervous and I think they could tell and they made me feel much more comfortable and relaxed. It was also very clean and everything was sanitized. Would go there again in the future.

This is a good hospital. The emergency room can have long waits at times. The impatient rooms are good. The nursing staff is generally very knowledgeable and pleasant. For a hospital the food is pretty good. Visitor rules are reasonable. There is an on-site pharmacy that is open until 10pm. Overall I would recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use visual aids. You can use picture schedules, videos, social stories, and other visual aids to show your child what to expect.
Take your child for a practice visit. This can be the same as the orientation visit, or it can be a “dry run” of an appointment where the dentist doesn’t actually work on your child’s teeth yet.
Bring items to fulfill sensory needs. Bringing your child’s favorite fidgets and toys so they can play during the appointment will be helpful.
Reduce unnecessary stress before and after. Reduce demands by wearing comfortable clothes, getting lots of rest, eliminating unnecessary activities (like grocery shopping — order for pick up!), and doing the things that relax your child. Your child will be able to regulate better when every day stressors are kept at a minimum.
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.
In a typical allergic reaction, your child’s body encounters an allergen (like pollen, dander, or pet hair) and sees it as a threat. Trying to protect itself, the immune system sends out a special protein called IgE antibodies to the mast cells in your child’s body. When your child comes in contact with the allergen again, those cells release chemicals (like histamines or eosinophils). The chemicals the antibodies release cause inflammation. That’s why your child’s nose gets stuffy and runny, or their skin breaks out in a rash when they come in contact with an allergen.
There are several types of allergies that children can have. Your child may experience one or more of these. While there are some rare ones out there, these are the most common types:
Allergic Rhinitis: This is when your child has allergies to things like pollen, dust, or pet dander in the air.
Food Allergies: Some children are allergic to certain foods like peanuts, milk, eggs, or fish.
Drug Allergies: Your child may be allergic to certain medicines. If they take a medicine they’re allergic to, they might get a rash, hives, or feel sick.
Insect Sting Allergies: If your child gets stung by a bee, wasp, or fire ant, they might have an allergic reaction.
Contact Allergies: Some people have a reaction when their skin touches certain things, like certain metals, latex, or plants (such as poison ivy).
Allergic Asthma: This is a specific subtype of asthma where asthma symptoms are triggered by things the person is allergic to, like pollen or pet dander.
For more information on common allergies in children, check out our guide.
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.
When you visit a neurologist, they’ll assess your child’s needs, run some tests (think imaging or EEG), and diagnose. From there, they’ll create a customized treatment plan. Medication, lifestyle tweaks, or maybe even a referral to another specialist could be on the table.
There unfortunately isn’t one test for all neurodevelopmental conditions. Most likely you will go into a visit to test one or two medical conditions. If you are looking for a comprehensive autism evaluation, developmental pediatricians, psychologists, or neuropsychologists are the preferred specialists who can diagnose autism.
No, neurologists focus mainly on non-surgical interventions. If your child needs surgery, neurologists might point you in the direction of a pediatric neurosurgeon.
