Dayton Children's South Campus

We recently visited this children’s clinic twice with our 18-month-old child. The doctor was wonderful — very patient, kind, and professional, and we truly appreciated the care from the physician. However, our experience with one of the nurses was disappointing. During our first visit, our child had just recovered from the flu and was crying during the measurements. The recorded head circumference was smaller than the measurement from three months earlier, and the height was the same as three months ago. I understand it can be difficult to measure a crying toddler, so we didn’t question it at the time. When we returned two weeks later for vaccinations, our child was a little upset at the beginning, possibly remembering the previous uncomfortable experience. The same nurse appeared notice

I took my son here today after a week of flu like symptoms and now he is having significant pain in his calves while walking a few days after his fever broke. He’s also sleeping 16-18 hours a day, extremely lethargic and completely not himself. The doctor in the urgent care was extremely dismissive of his symptoms, refused to take any blood work to check for viral myositis even though he has clear symptoms of it and told me they have no fluids and don’t give ivs at this location (mind you, it’s attached to the ER… I’m having a hard time believe they have no fluids on campus…). She ended the appointment by stating I need to take him home and feed him chicken soup, I wish I was lying that that’s what she told us to do as it sounds absolutely absurd! I will never be taking my children here go

Joke of an emergency room early morning around 12:45 am Oct 4th. This is my first experience at dayton children’s as I have an 8 month old. She spiked a 103.6 temp and was rushed to er. Not taken as an emergency. WE HAD TO ASK FOR THEM TO CHECK HER TEMP WHILE WAITING! no vitials taken while waiting to be admitted. 4 people ahead of us and they were still waiting for the people the get discharged so they could go back…. One boy had possible croup so that was potential break in hippa and if that’s the case would be nice to give him his own room right away to avoid possible exposure. The receptionist’s response was “they don’t do that in adult er” 😅 I’m highly disappointed. Friendly but not urgent. No estimate on wait and didn’t seem to really care.

Stopped by to have some outpatient labs completed for my two boys. The lobby was wonderfully kid-friendly and my boys made the most of the available toys and wall-mounted video games while we waited for roughly an hour. Once we got inside the staff was wonderful and engage each boy appropriately and insured they had a pleasant experience (except for maybe the blood draw...go figure). Bottom line: I would absolutely not hesitate bringing my boys back.

I've been here twice now, my daughter is 17 months old. Both times I was here the staff were very friendly and it went pretty quick. Also looked pretty clean both visits.
