The office and blue elevator in general could definitely use some cleaning. Also, recommend the dept to invest in small tables for kids to sit at and play instead of being given toys on the floor. With constant traffic and everyone wearing shoes, it definitely is not very hygienic. Other depts have tables and even mats for kids to play on that are cleaned between patients.

He was very thorough when describing or talking to me about my daughter's genetic problems that they discovered and explained everything very well when it came to the second round of genetic testing. Very much the most thorough doctor I think I've dealt with at Dayton Children's. He was a very thorough genetic doctor.

Dr. De Dios was wonderful and spent a lot of time thoroughly going through my health history and assessing all of my different medical diagnoses and really helped me understand what options I have going forward and was able to explain a little bit better what diagnosis I am getting. He was great.

My granddaughter has a genetic disorder. She saw Dr. Dios for the first time in June of 2024. My granddaughter is autistic and requires patience and understanding. Dr. Dios bedside manner with her was great. I had various concerns regarding my granddaughters genetic disorder. Genetics is very difficult to understand. Dr Dios explained in detail with me about her specific disorder. He helps calm my mind by explaining that she wasn't in any immediate danger for a serious illness, like I thought she might be. It was very kind and considerate to us. He took his time and did not make me feel like he was in any kind of rush. I was really happy with our experience.
