Seattle Children's Hospital

I’m grateful my child is healthy and strong today. That said, our experience here was mixed. My son was transferred here after receiving excellent care at Harborview Medical Center which will always have my respect and gratitude. Unfortunately, because they didn’t have the necessary pediatric equipment, he was sent to Seattle Children’s Hospital, where he was placed on ECMO in February 2024. Some nurses and doctors were compassionate, professional, and supportive, and I truly appreciate them. However, a few ICU nurses on shifts around 2/1/24 - 2/8/24 were dismissive, rude, and lacked basic empathy toward a parent with a critically ill child. What was most concerning was the hospital social worker allowing a person who I had an active protective order against to wander the hospital when

Outstanding Children’s Hospital in Seattle. We had an exceptional experience at the children’s hospital in Seattle. The medical staff is truly the best incredibly professional, compassionate, and attentive. The way they treat both children and parents is simply unbelievable. Our child underwent a complex hip surgery, and from the very first consultation to the postoperative care, we felt completely supported and confident. The doctors are highly skilled and knowledgeable, and the nurses showed endless kindness, patience, and genuine care. Their professionalism combined with sincere compassion made a very difficult time much easier for our family. We are deeply grateful to everyone involved and cannot thank them enough for their dedication and outstanding care. We highly recommend this hosp

My son recently had oral surgery at the Bellevue clinic, and we had a great experience. We usually go to the Seattle location, but the Bellevue clinic was really wonderful as well. All of the staff were nice, welcoming, and very friendly. They answered all of our questions and took the time to explain the after-surgery care clearly and patiently. We felt very supported throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

Our daughter was transferred here from our town hospital (3 hours away). The staff here in Forest B Floor 8 are tremendously welcoming, sweet, understanding, helpful, caring, gentle and just awesome. The surgical team, anesthesia team, pre op team, post op team are wonderful, kind, gentle and caring. The whole hospital is clean! Staff from other areas of the hospital seem welcoming and kind. This is our first time here and experiencing what we are, the staff are amazing!! Nothing but good to say. ❤️💜💙💚💛

Horrible experience. Starting with the doctors and continuing through the nurses and CNAs, I would never recommend this place. The doctors are too busy to sit down and talk with families. Instead, they send members of the surgical team who are unable to answer specific questions. My daughter’s incisions were not healing properly. I am not a doctor, but I knew something was wrong. I raised my concerns multiple times and pushed for them to examine her more closely. Each time, I was told that this was simply how her body heals. Eventually, I refused to go home and insisted they take another look. When they finally checked more thoroughly, it resulted in emergency surgery. On top of everything, the nurses are not taught to be compassionate or understanding. Parents are going through incredibly
