If you are ever tasked with the referral of neurosurgery for your child, it can be daunting and scary. When my daughter was born we were full of worries about her development and her abilities to even thrive. It's hard to hand over a baby for brain surgery, but I knew she was in amazing hands. Thankfully the NS team at Dayton children's hospital is just that,amazing. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for the multiple times this team has saved my daughter's life, and the amazing compassion and caring that they exude. They are thoughtful and always speak to parents and patients like an equal when educating about any situation. We are never talked down to or talked to at a level that can not be understood. They take time and effort to make sure both parents and patients are well informed. They are always quick to listen and to solve problems in the least invasive manner, and are full of knowledge and understanding. We love the entire team and thank God for them and their expertise. They are always concerned about her overall well being. I went from 10 years ago, worrying if my child would ever walk or talk, to a child that is learning and growing, receiving good grades, and entering middle school next year. Our outcome is above and beyond anything I could have dreamed, and we are so thankful.
