UPMC facilities and practices are operating normally. Given this rapidly evolving situation, patients should contact their doctor within 24 hours of any scheduled appointment for updates.
She always has an awesome time finding something new! From the penguins in the train set on the 3rd floor, to finding Mr. Weaslys flying car flying over the womping willow.. Its always something new and we always find something positive in every visit
Wow. So, bright my daughter here to the ER. She fainted and passed out while getting checked in, seriously collapsed in my arms while going through the security…. …
honestly all UPMC hospitals should be ashamed. these wait times in the “emergency” room is INSANE! if you don’t have covid symptoms you’re not a priority.
I hate this place. I have had 3 referral here. One for my 4 year old to endo and 2 for my newborn for radiology. It takes WEEKS to even get an appointment and that is with calling and leaving numerous voicmails that never get returned. We …
The medical care is great but the wait times can be very long because so many people go there. When they owe you money good luck ever seeing it. Never pay upfront because they just guess the amount and when they guess high they refuse to refund the credit balance.
Horrible, 3 time at UPMC facility and still no answers for my daughters chest pains and abnormal ekg. Was told to take morning and then sent home with discharge papers that had a false diagnosis stating that her chest pain was due to a …
On a recent visit for a smashed finger, it took over 4 hours to get in a room. At this point it would have been faster to drive to an ER is Cleveland or Philadelphia. It was disgusting to see parent after parent leaving the ER with sick …
Wow this place is big! You can’t miss the front emergency entrance. The new building is so nice and it’s really the best hospital for children’s emergency care and trauma care. They’re ran by UPMC but handle a wide variation of different …
With 5 children under 6 this hospital is very accommodating. All staff is amazing. Very child friendly environment. Wait time in ER is about an hour to hour and a half every time I have gone but there is enough to entertain children as …
Nobody ever answers the phone it is ridiculous. I can’t get my medication refilled because of them. It is so difficult to get an appointment because of the insane amount of people that go here, along with the assistants not even being at …
My son recently had to have a procedure on his 16th birthday on the same day surgery unit. Well imagine our surprise when he received a birthday card and gift cards from the staff on the unit! It was so thoughtful of everyone to do that …
Staff are brilliant and I appreciate the level of care from the nurses and doctors but the wait time is unnecessary. Almost 12 hours for 2 X-rays and blood work. I still don’t have the results for the second X-ray and it’s been 4-5 hours. I …
They billed me $4200 for anesthesia after my daughter’s surgery. 4 1/2 hour surgery plus 28 hour overnight stay which They billed as outpatient surgery so it wasn’t covered by my insurance. I wrote several letters, appealed the bill 3 …
First appointment started off rocky and made me extremely nervous- but after the second time coming, much better care. The staff worked wonderfully to provide care for my child, and kept us informed the whole time during his procedure. Highly recommend Children’s for your child’s care.
The nurses on 6th floor trauma unit was the greatest ever. They were so personal! They went above what they needed to do to make my son and I feel comfortable. They were nurses that did their job cause they loved what they were doing. …
I had to bring my daughter to the ER. We waited in the waiting room for only a few min before getting called back to our room. Our nurse, Lindsay, is so super nice, patient, informative and kind. She is very pleasant. Then Ava… from …
We always have a great experience when we have to visit Children’s Hospital, the staff is always so friendly and great with my son…..it truly makes it easier to get my son to want to go to his appointments. However, I experienced a very …
I use to have high respect for this hospital and recommend people here for there kids when working on the ambulance, but after this experience with having my 9 month old daughter there I’ll never tell anyone to come here. I shouldn’t have …
My son was life-flighted here and we stayed for 5 months. If you need to take your children anywhere I recommend taking them here. They saved my sons life. The docs, nurses and all staff is amazing, super friendly, easy to talk to, and very …
Currently here on floor 7 and the only good nurse we had so far within the stay was a nurse name Izzy. Very friendly and knows how to do her job. Don’t have to constantly remind her to flush her feeding tube 🤦🏻♀️ They did great with my daughter’s surgery last weekend and hoping the same with tomorrow. …
I took my son to the ER this week and I could not believe how dirty the waiting room was. It was easily the dirtiest ER waiting room I have ever been in. There was garage and food on the floor. The furniture was filthy and the seat …
Great service, and employees. By the time we finished registration they were all ready waiting for us to take us back. Melanie lutz was amazing with our baby at her infant hearing test. Would definitely take our children there again.
My 2 year old grand daughter was taken to the ER because the PCP discovered her heart rate was 190 bpm. The ER staff found pneumonia after doing a chest X-ray. Antibiotics are needed to treat pneumonia. The nurse tried to give her medicine …
Our 6-year-old son spent a week at Children’s. We could not ask for better care. Our son was treated wonderfully by all. The excellent Doctors and Nurses were overly attentive to our needs and kept us informed of every detail about our …
We were treated well when my son, Rory had an asthma scare that took us to the ICU. Our nurses were amazing. Respiratory therapists were great. Dr. Michael Certo saved our son’s life and we will always be thankful for him.
Very nice facility. very highly educated doctors. I respect a lot to Dr. Fox. She is great human being. We have been seeing her since June. She is always helpful, and very kind. To me she is God for us. She treated us very well. Also …
We visited the ER last week with an open face wound for my 2 year old daughter. It was packed with over a 3 hour wait. They did not have a separate waiting area for sick or COVID patients and did not clean the waiting room in-between …
Son was here to get appendix removed. Great bunch of folks. Nurses were outstanding in 6b unit. Staff in floor 4 operating area were great. Hospital is very clean and nice. Only issue would be a communication between the floors and OR …
Children’s hospital has lost their standard of care. My daughter was there twice this year once for hitting her head and another for having a seizure as a result of a high fever. Each visit she had her vitals taken by a nurse and then …
Be aware that this hospital is staffed almost entirely with poorly trained new graduates and inexperienced workers. My child has come here three times in the last seven months and each time there has been a dangerous situation, either with …
The many times we have been there with our daughter has been great. The Dr and nurses and other staff have been very caring. I couldn’t have asked for better care for my daughter.
This place is genuinely amazing. Everyone is attentive and helpful, with not only my son but also myself. They even brought an xbox into his room to pass the time. Even the surgical staff who are normally cold elsewhere are warm and informative. Highly recommend, its so worth traveling here
Wouldn’t say it is the whole hospital. But, this urology group here is horrible. Every child’s urology in the surrounding area is through children’s. So, you are stuck with what they decide. You can’t get a second opinion. Other …
I came to Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital from Farrell, PA with my baby boy who was born a month early. This is hands down the best hospital I’ve ever been to. All of his nurses on the NICU floor that helped take care of him during the 17 …
Son had transplant and muscle closure there. As well as my other son having neurology issues. They are the absolute best! There is no other place I would rather go for my children’s needs. We drive 4 1/2 hrs and they are worth it. The …
My son had to have surgery on his eye due to an orbital fracture. The entire staff was so informative, kind, and genuinely seem like they enjoy what they do and are passionate about it. The surgeons did a phenomenal job and the nurses were …
We have been to Children’s on many occasions, some overnight. This past visit was to get my son’s arm cast. The ortho nurse practitioner and nurse who cast my son’s arm were polite, professional, and timely. I will say this was a change …
