Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital

This children’s hospital is honestly the best ive ever been to. My daughters appendix had to be removed on an emergency basis. It was very sudden and not at all where I had planned on spending my week.
Let me tell you it ended up being the ONLY hospital I will ever take my daughters.
The care they provide is unrivaled. It was more like a child resort than a hospital. This was a positive experience not at all negative. The staff was experienced and wasted no time getting down to business. Then there were the activities staff that brought my daughter a musical instrument of her choice to use while she was there. They have every family style board game imaginable and all the tv’s were equipped with the internet, movies, cable and they have a huge theater that that shows all G rated movies. Needless to say I have not one single complaint. I cant get over how incredible all the staff are. They’ve got no easy task of working with sick kids but they have a never ending supply of doc and nurse happiness. Thanks to them my daughter is home now and on the road to a speedy recovery! I just cant say enough great things about this place!

My eight month old daughter some how got an upper respiratory infection to the point where she ended up getting hives. We went to a hospital ER and they were able to provide some meds through the use of a vapor. Looked like she was at a hookah bar!
The ER doc recommend an overnight at Emanuel Randels Children’s Hospital. The facilities are really nice and pretty roomy. The rooms that they provide has a double bead so you can sleep on. The view of from our 6^th floor room is really nice, shame no helicopter came by.
The facility provides all the diapers and wipes you need. Baby throws up, then they do all the changing. Want to give your kid a bath, their showers are that of a bath tub.
While it’s tough to see your little tax deduction suffer from an illness I feel like the staff here really do care about your child’s needs, not only they have to but because they want to see your kid grow up to be healthy.
Now if we can only write reviews for the bill… that review might be a little harsh.

My son had a minor surgery that needed to be done and we were assigned to Randall’s Children Hospital (Legacy’s pediatric branch) for the procedure.
Of course, I was a nervous wreck… this is my sweet 5 year old and the prospect of him going under general anesthesia for even a simple procedure had me all tied up in knots.
But, let me just say that, while I would never wish a surgery upon any family, if you have to get one done… go here.
Here’s how they wow-​ed me:
1) The staff is incredibly friendly! The anesthesiologist that worked with my son really cared about my concerns, called me the day before to discuss options, listened to what I had to say and used a collective approach to the care. The surgeon was maybe one of the most charismatic, easy to relate to and like, and overall gentle and friendly people I’ve ever met. The nursing staff was patient and flexible based on the needs we had
2) The space is immaculate. it’s clean, it’s brand new, state of the art and easy to access. Each room in the wing we were in had a flat/​touch screen TV that the kids can use to watch their favorite movies, play games, and surf the web.
3) Free wi-​fi! Gosh, I love it when places do that
4) Free coffee everywhere you go… (granted the procedure cost $ 11,000 so NOTHING was free, but overall, it was a nice touch)
5) Quick turn around — their goal was to help us get home as soon as possible, which was our goal too.
6) They really understand kids — everything they did offered flexibility and fun. They addressed concerns and even had a screen updating how the procedure was going minute by minute for parents to watch.
I’m so glad they took such amazing care of my son! Now, hopefully I never have to go back… :)

I am staunchly holistic care in nature, so imagine my surprise when in my last 5 weeks of pregnancy I had to be hospitalized for pre-​eclampsia and deliver my baby boy prematurely via C-​section. This was NOT my birth plan. I had a midwife and was planning a water birth and had been going to hypno-​birthing classes.
I was unwilling to let go of that dream easily. The nurses and most of my attending physicians were amazing. They met me where I was. Letting me make special requests on my food orders, soy, extra veggies etc., they allowed me to exhaust all my options for a vaginal birth, with even one physician, who had recently undergone training for acupuncture, trying to assist me by providing acupuncture treatments. In the end, I had to relent for the health of both me and my child but when I did I felt good about my decision and knew I had done the absolute best for my child — keeping him in gestation for an additional 5 days and allowing his lungs to develop a bit more.
Though I had a rotating shift of doctors and residents, most were very kind to me and non-​judgmental — with one exception (Dr. Robertson — I had her removed.)
A special thanks goes out to Dr. Robert Warnock, whose kind care and understanding demeanor just went beyond anything. He delivered our son, healthy and happy. And to the incredible nurses in the NICU, who were so kind and loving to our little one during his 14 day stay. So thankful for his care.
Only other note is: beware of the lactation consultants — the ones here will really screw up your rhythm with breast feeding. They messed me all up and I had to go to Zenana later to get «real» help.
