Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Hollywood FL

Don’t even think to come here, right now I’m with my daughter 12 yr old in the emergency room. With an extreme pain in abdominal right area, she is unable to walk, dizzy and with the worst pain ever. It’s a real emergency and after 1 hour or more not even a doctor come, them after an hour a half a doctor named Joseph came and really was once the real bad experience start. The doctor doesn’t believe my daughter. A real terrible experience.

My daughter had an appointment at this hospital on 4/4/18. While waiting, i was advised that my daughter could go and visit the play area. So her and i go over to meet thee most obnoxious and racist causian woman i have ever meet in my entire life! She was an older lady and i believe her name was Carol. Well Carol an employee of Joe Dimaggio (who seems to be the director of the play area) had the most condesending attitude and only zeroed in and commitmented on what my African American child was doing in the play area. Everything my daughter was doing she had an issue with. Example, they have a dark vader toy in the play area, which she told my daughter not to touch. My question is why is there a toy in a play area that kids cannot touch? Oh wait.from my understanding only african american kids cannot touch the toy because i witnessed causian kids coming in and playing with the exact same toy but was not told anything. In addition, She did not advise on the different activites the play area offered ex. Coloring, watching a movie on the tv, among other things. The only time i was aware there where other things to do was when other Causian people came into the area and where offered choices on things to do and the parents where offered coffee and cookies WHILE of course i was offered nothing. I also witnessed her treating other african american staff poorly.
I ADVISE all African-American parents NEVER to visit the play area with your kids. You will be treated horribly by a Old white racist causian lady. Classic wolf in sheeps clothing.
BEWARE and STAY AWAY!

Amazing service, very happy with the way they treated us.they are specialized for kids and give them 110% of their knowledge and experience

I took the best choice when I went to give birth there. From the first moment I arrived, they treated me quickly and efficiently. They make you feel safe in such a decisive moment for one who is bringing a baby to the world. At least that was how it was for me that I was a first-time mother. I am very grateful to all the hospital team even though I can’t name someone specific because there were many people who took care of me and my baby. We only had good experiences. Thank you very much!

Excellent care! From the moment I placed a call from Memoral West emergency, a desperate mom to transfer my child to Joe DiMagio Children’s hospital after 10 hours not knowing what was wrong with her. I personally called spoke to Dan who had the patience to listen and made the transfer possible. My daughter room was ready and nurses and doctors immediately took charge in the care and found what was wrong with her. The room 3524 on feb 13 as she was admitted. Nurse Denise an amazing professional nurse who received us doing that morning. Nurse Kathy in the evening also amazing, caring and professional. Ultrasound tech who found where the pain was coming from. Doctor Diagnose inflammation appendicitis. As my daughter also had the flu. No time wasted surgery had to take place. Doctor Long and staff made sure it was done even under the circumstances of my daughters condition battleing the flu. The assurance, the kindness, their ability of knowing their profession may me know I did the right decision in transferring my daughter. My gratitude, to all here will forever be.thank you, thank for living your profession, thank for all that was done. Everyone there deserves recognition. As a mom I am, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I am impressedd. It is very unusual to find this great costumer service in South Florida.
My son was breathing heavely friday night we got to the hospital around 11pm, the waiting room was packed with patients and after asking Nathalie (ER nurse) how many patients were ahead of us she checked my son and took us in to be see by the doctor. From that moment on I want to thank everyone for your amazing human service. We were treated as humans not as patients.

Baby Girl had surgery there and she was very well taken care of SPECIALLY her night RN in 4South PICU, Amanda. Thank you for being so attentive and taking the initiative with her pain management. You were easy to talk to and you were always asking us if we needed anything. I knew my baby girl was in GREAT HANDS!

Very good hospital for kids the services is so great and the services is great and love this place

This hospital saved our 2.5 week olds life. We went through the ER where the immediate care was incredible then spent three weeks in the hospital consequently. Our nurses, doctors, and staff were caring, thorough, and very detailed in his car. We’re forever grateful.

Best hospital ever! Had my baby there and i was born there, they are the best.i had lobster and extra large shrimp the best ceaser salad of my life, while staying there. THE best service, smartest Dr´s, Just the best service possible. My mom has had several stents put in here. This hospital is clean and A1 services.

Today I Had An Amazing Experience As A First Timer. Joe Dimaggio Hospital Was Highly Recommended. The Staff Took Great Care Of My Daughter Today. They Were Very Friendly. I Never Been So Satifsy By A Hospital Like Today. It Was Definitely Worth the Drive. You Guys Are Awesome! Thank You

This hospital and their staff saved my life, I was in a severe car accident, was kept in a medically induced coma for 11 days, fractured my ribs some of the vertebrae of my back, my lungs collapsed, rupture my large intestine. And also had several microfractures in my face and they put steel pins and screws in my nose.
I am so grateful this hospital was located where it is and and the medical response team and the entire unit of the hospital took care of me the way they did.

Came in a middle of the night, couldn’t find parking, valet jork wasn’t help at all. Personnel was nice and helpful though, but doc kept us waiting for more then three hours after making a determination, apparently thinking since he doesn’t have to sleep patients don’t need too.
Will think twice before coming here again.
