The nurses and doctor listened very carefully to our concerns and they coordinated my child's care and consulted her gastro dr for feedback as well.

We thought Dr. Chow and his nursing staff were great. All of the people that we interacted with in the lab were awesome. The phlebotomist was great. Even the front desk staff in the lab was extremely helpful and we really appreciated being able to have both parents go into the hospital and be present for the procedures. Being able to have both of us there was awesome and something that we really, really appreciated.

I am very satisfied with my treatment at the hospital. The staff was delightful. The doctor was absolutely very informative and I would highly recommend the house Children's hospital and the doctor and staff there to my family.

The only problem I have is our wait time. While the physician doesn't rush us when he's with us, we wait 1 1/2 hours before being seen.
