Schuyler L.06/28/2015Edit I will never take my son here ever again. It was so traumatizing that I still tear up thinking about it. I brought him in because he had mucous coming out of his eyes and they were red and swollen, along with lethargy & a cough. I had called my mother asking for any advice because this is my first child, and one of her friends children had gotten a rare infection called peri orbital cellulitis, & from looking at the pictures she sent me they looked nearly identical. the staff were great. the nurse even said that his eyes looked swollen. when the doctor came in, she said his eyes looked fine and it was probably an ear infection. she then proceded to have me restrain him and pulled, what seemed to me very aggresive, on his ear lobe while shoving a scope with one of the longest end pieces deep into his ear. He is 19 months old. He weeped in the most aggonizing sad cry I have ever heard him make to the point of almost stopping breathing. She then told me to turn him to the other side and restrain him, that it was necessary. So I did, and she started the same routine on the other side. My mommy senses couldnt take it any longer and I pushed her arm away from her and grabbed him and started sobbing from the amount of pain she was putting him through. She proceeded to tell me to restrain him again so she could look in his mouth while he and I were still extremely upset, so after I calmed him down I tried to do what she said, and I had to push her away again because she was being so aggressive and hurting my little 19 month old. She never looked at his eyes but told me he had pink eye & an ear infection. wrote me 2 prescriptions for an antibiotic and eye drops, but never told me anything I could do for pain. Her method of advice for putting the eye drops in his eyes was somthing that I would never do to my son, or anyone, because it seemed cruel and abusive. I understand that she needed to check him out, and he is pretty tough. However she should not be dealing with children with her aggresive unsympathetic to their pain attitude. I sat in my car and cried for nearly 30 minutes because of the extremely traumatic situation. I just hope that I can save a child and parent through going through the same experience we ended up suffering through.

3rd time is not the charm. It was a decent experience the first time to go back a second time. 2nd time the nurse did a poor job swabbing my childs throat which resulted in negative test result and a return to the Dr. a day later. I usually just go to CHOA down the street. Not sure what possessed me to go a 3rd time but I did. We were left in a room and the doctor apologetically came in after 20+minutes. There was a DFAC emergency...I get it. They finally let us out with a prescription that they were going to call in. Waited around at the pharmacy and then had to make 2 phone calls to ask them to please call in the prescription. Finally after 30+ minutes of waiting for it, the kind pharmacists told me that the nurse just called but couldnt read the directions the doctor wrote so she needed to call them back. WTH....I have a sick child with me, I dont have time for this! Save yourself the trouble and go to CHOA, theyre awesome.

It is totally waste and worst. Doctor told he is having an ear infection and fever is due to that and later we went to emergency when fever went up to 102 and found that he does not have ear infection. Never recommend anyone to go there.
