This hospital has gone downhill tremendously. It’s no longer a place for children to go & have their medical needs addressed & fixed or as close to fixed as possible. It’s no longer a place where parents are comfortable with taking their children to be helped for their medical needs. The nurses, people who want to be nurses, unfortunately some of the doctors too, & so many other staff here, especially receptionist, are just rude. It’s really very sad what has become of Akron Children’s Hospital. They look great for the media, & for those they want to get money out of to expand, but very few at the hospital actually care about the children & their well-being. It’s just a paycheck & not about these childrens lives. They make it look so good though. It’s sad that our only other option for emergency medical treatment is so far away.

We were very impressed with Dr. Marcella Bromberg. She was caring, knowledgeable, a great listener and attentive to all details. We couldnt have asked for a better doctor and person.

This place is not what it used to be.They left us sit in the waiting area for over an hour and a half while my 5-year-old son had a fever over 101 and I had to threaten to leave and suddenly they had a room for him.After explaining for the fifth time what was wrong, they finally ordered a urine analysis.We waited two hours and finally asked a nurse what was going on. She looked up from her phone and saw that our results had been back and she was sending the doctor in right away.We were told no infection and it must just be viral and sent on our way.If youre going to drive an hour to get there from Mansfield, youre better off going to Columbus.

The nurses and doctors were so amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience in the ER and then 7200. Angie in the ER (helped my son with breathing treatments) was an angel on earth. Nurse Aysa and Megan in 7200 were so so sweet to us. We loved them! They also gifted us a humidifier to take home. I would trust them with everything! I hope they know how grateful we are.

OMG... AFTER NEWLY MOVING TO AKRON MY FAMILY WAS TRAUMATIZED. THEN I HAD TO RUSH MY SON TO THE HOSPITAL NOT KNOWING WHERE TO GO. AT THE LAST MINUTE SOMETHING TOLD ME TO BYPASS THE FIRST HOSPITAL AND I DROVE DIRECTLY HERE. I CANT EXPRESS HOW AWESOME THE STAFF IS HERE. THEY SAVED MY SONS LIFE.. THE ER TEAM DOCTORS AND NURSES WASTED NO TIME AS HIS HEART WAS BEATING ALMOST 300 BEATS PER MINUTE..THAT WAS IN JANUARY OF 2021. UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD TO COME BACK AND ONCE AGAIN THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY TOP NOTCH! THIS TIME IT WAS 3 DAYS Before my sons birthday 8 MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST TIME THIS ACCURED. They not only did there jobs but went above and beyond and Came in singing and presented him with gift cards and gifts all while in the emergency room... After he was STABILIZED of COURSE..AFTER WATCHING EVERYONE MOVING QUICKLY YOU VAN PHYSICALLY SEE HIW THEY EXERTED ALLOY OF ENERGY VERY QUICKLY AND TO STILL COME IN TO UPLIFT HIS SPIRITS REALLY TOUCHED MY HEART. I CAN ASSURE YOU IVE BEEN IN NURSING 23 YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH GENUINE LOVE AND CARING COME FROM THE STAFF IN A ER DEPARTMENT. I ABSOLUTELY WOULDNT RECOMMEND ANY OTHER HOSPITAL FOR YOUR CHILD.. AS I TRULY LOVE AND APPRECIATE THEM.. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH EMERGENCY ROOM STAFF...IC UNIT FOR BEING WONDERFUL IN YOUR FIELD AND CARING..

Absolutely amazing hospital! The staff is amazing, everyone was so nice very helpful! Even the parking attendants are nice! If I could give 10 stars I would! They completely put myself and my daughter at ease about her procedure, it was quick, easy and painless. Very caring doctors, nurses, aids, and staff!

They were so patient and understanding with trying to help out 2 exhausted parents with a non verbal autistic child. Its a 20 out of 10 if I could give them that rating. The medical students, residents, doctors, specialists, xray technicians, radiologists,phlebotomist all go out of there way

They have no respect for your decisions because they think they know best I refused to allow them to do surgery on my child so they scheduled the surgery anyways and after the day passed they called social services and said I didnt show for surgery Dr Con!!! Dr Khan knew we didnt want surgery... Cant be trusted!!! My baby is a month old so I said NO... Now I have to deal with social services on top of everything else... theres a special place on hell for doctors like him

The hospital and staff is truly the best around. Unfortunately, with all of the changes going on, when you call to make an appointment with anything having to do with Akron Childrens, ENT, Pediatrician, etc, you are forwarded to a call center or someone working from home, where you have to be on hold for 45 minutes. Everytime. I have waited on hold for so long several times, that I got in my truck and drove to tye Green location, went inside and made an appointment while still being on hold. After I left, I was still on hold. Beyond ridiculous and frustrating. Please fix this.

I was admitted to the ER and we didnt have to wait long at all, the nurse who brought me to my room was extremely kind but my doctor was extremely rude and laughed at me when I told him what was going on. I was in the ER from 10pm til 5am until finally taken upstairs to the residency area. I felt mocked and laughed at by the staff. Would rather go anywhere else.

My twins daughters were born at 27 weeks, and spent 86 days in the NICU. In such a time of worry for my family, everyone that we came in contact with in that hospital was amazing!!! The care we got for our girls were amazing!!! To the point I have chosen to go back and get my nursing degree, so I can work in the NICU myself.

I love Akron Childrens. From the moment my son was born, his stay in the NICU was amazing. The nurses were attentive and friendly and very helpful. When I had to leave due to my own health emergency they helped facilitate me getting to Akron General nearby and saved my life. I appreciate all the hard work that they do. I cannot say enough great things about them and will be forever grateful for what they did for my son and I.

So after calling 2 different people to get a price for therapy, they said sorry - we can’t tell you the cost of each appointment. Even though I provided a billing code & name of service. My insurance doesn’t cover this, which I explained, so I have to pay out of pocket 100%. They simply refused to tell me the cost because “they couldn’t find it” even though I called the billing department with the code & begged for them to ask their supervisor & get back to me. It’s ridiculous to expect people to show up and agree to paying an unknown cost!

Review №24

I would like to start out by saying I have had some horrendous experiences in hospitals, to the point of it being an issue of anxiety and panic when entering a hospital. I gave birth to my son in North Carolina two years ago and it wasnt the best experience and I had just gotten used to doctors and nurses not listening to the mothers needs or wishes to the point where I felt devastated, vulnerable and jaded.But I came in two days ago to give birth to my daughter and I fell absolutely in love with the energy, patience and overall concern that these nurses had for my wishes and health needs. I met well over 15 nurses during my stay and not one of them had an attitude for even a second with me.I know that sometimes people can have bad experiences based on every day circumstances and not everyone is always in the best mood, that goes for patients and nurses, because no one is perfect and we all deal with things differently, but I am so very grateful for the involvement I was able to have and I am so grateful for the nurses, doctors, students, cooks, and cleaning staff that took care of me and were genuinely nice and concerned over my well-being.I also loved listening to the communication between the nurses who were learning and the ones who were teaching. It was very progressive in that aspect. No one seemed afraid to ask questions or help each other learn and grow from their experiences.

The customer service here is horrible. When you call the main line- the operator is incredibly rude for no reason at all...Billing department is inconsiderate and treats you like trash even though I paid the Bill on time...I would never recommend a place that has such poor customer service. I would never trust the care of my children in this hospital. Ever. Do not go here unless you want poor care or have no choice. If you have no choice- document your experience with names and times. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Visited ER recently i didnt like the way my daughter and I were treated. Nurses were very rude the doctor was not understanding she was very unprofessional !

Review №28

This one star is not due to the staff or anyone at Akron Children’s. This review is due to the fact that their financial assistance program requires you to have $0 in your HSA to apply. It’s a slap on the wrist for people who save up money to put in their HSA. Nationwide Children’s does not have this requirement. We will be going to Nationwide as much as possible.

I’ve been going to Akron Children’s main campus since Spring of 2019. The staff was so patient with me and my parents. I especially want to say how thankful I am for Dr. Pittinger and Dr. Andrews (my surgeons) and Dr. Wyneski. They have all been patient with me and I just want to say thank you to all of my doctors and nurses. I got surgery in December of 2019 and I had so much fun with my nurses on New Years. I will be getting another surgery soon and I’m very nervous but the doctors and nurses always tell me that it will be okay and I will feel better soon. So thank you to ACH for being such kind people.

Early this morning my daughter was taken by ambulance from our home hospital (we live in Trumbull county) to Akron Childrens (in Akron) for observation. My daughter has high functioning autism & doesnt speak & has major sensory issues. The staff was absolutely AMAZING not only with her but with us (myself & her father). We didnt have to sit there & wait for an update on what was going on, the staff was readily available whenever we needed them, even the food service was great! The nurses were phenomenal (I believe our nurse was Alex) & the doctors were even more amazing & caring! I wish this hospital was closer to where we live because this would, without a doubt, be the only hospital we use. Thank you ACH for everything you do, you guys are amazing!

I was planning on working at this place in the coming future until recently. Apparently from what I learned picking around is that they just started paying people without a 4 or more year degrees more than those that do to jobs that require people that are more qualified. Plus the people without degrees have free parking now and people that have their degrees now have to pay for theirs unlike before.Now it may just me be but Id like people that are working with my kids health to be the best of the best and not greenhorns with a two year degree.

I have to come here a lot for testing and appointments. Its really nice, the overall atmosphere, the doctors, the food, the gift shop. Ive been coming for a few years now and dont really mind coming, almost look forward to it because the experience is so nice.Just one thing - the wait times. Im not sure if this is in their control or not. But one time, if I remember correctly, I had to wait in the ER for nine hours. Give or take a few, this was like 2017. But I was in pain for a long time. I feel like waiting times could be improved.

We have been in multiple times with our newborn son and Akron Children’s staff have been fantastic and helpful. I’d like to personally thank Dr. Patel for her empathy and kindness working with a first time mom. She eased my worry and even followed up with a phone call. It is so nice to know that we are not just another patient, but that employees like Dr. Patel care greatly about the people they treat. We’ve been in the urology and hematology offices as well, which are top notch also. Thanks so much for all you do!

Ok! Today the date 06/30/2030 at 11:10pm giving this reviews not because I am bored in parking lot. Actually I came to emergency for my baby at 8:00 pm. And I am waiting outside and can’t hold my wife and baby because her phone died. I called in and some rude lady answer my phone I explain my situation and ask if I can know about my baby? She said what you looking for ? Very rudely and ask me to call her back in 10 mins. What kind a service is this question hospital management? Very unprofessional phone answer .

The hospitality was wonderful when I was hospitalized for a few days. However I had to come back again a few weeks later. I thought whatever you say to the doctors is suppose to be confidential, but I guess one nurse didn’t care and told my parents. That’s exactly why teenagers don’t always trust doctors and nurses with keeping their personal business in private.

Having surgeries here for my kids have been very helpful and the staff BUT the ER doctors I feel just want to make an easy $$$. Bring my baby in, they state acid reflux but are not allowed to write scripts for it that we have to go to PCP for one. So my child will now have to suffer longer and struggle to eat all weekend till I can get into doctor and Monday I have no clue if they have an opening yet at doctors. Very disappointed in these ER doctors.

Staff was very nice...but apparently understaffed from what they say. My daughter would have to sit and wait 30 min until after she ate to lay down...if I hadnt stayed all night, there were times she could have waited over an hour to an hour and a half. Few times she buzzed to go to the bathroom, and it took forever. Once I ended up taking her, and after an hr and 15 min had to buzz again so they could measure it. They are super loud late at night...like they have no idea people try to sleep after midnight.

The care and respect the staff have for children amd adults are like no other hospital around. All of my kids love to come here! Yesterday, we had a long day in store and to our much surprise, both my kids, one older and one young, were given goody bags with all sorts of activities in them at our ultrasound check in! They were made from a local sorority, which shows how much love and support this hospital gets from not just the patients, but the community!We travel 40 minutes one way in order to come here. And will continue to do so because of the care and expertise along with the love and passion the people who work here truly have for wanting to improve the lives of children. We feel very grateful to be a part of that!

While I was in the hospital for a week I had many different nurses and Nights were the roughest for me. But one nurse really helped me and my mother a ton. While we were having a rough night the day before I went home I got emotional cause for a week I couldnt see my mother next to me from the handles on the side of the bed...felt like I was talking to a wall. I called in that I was in pain cause I was crying and I had broken ribs thats painful. TIFFANY was my nurse then and she came in and ask my mother what happened well... she got emotional too. TIFFANY brought me a coloring book and a tea and many other things that help me feel better and 3 weeks after that when i get upset i use the book and the other toys she gave to me. She was one of the sweetest nurses Ive ever had EVER. I hope you see this and make sure she knows how much of an impact that little thing did for me.

Childrens used to be easy and convenient for scheduling appointments. The move to centralized scheduling has made it difficult to make appointments. Ive had issues with sports medicine and dermatology. Im currently waiting to schedule an echo cardiogram for my son. Ive scheduled appointments only to have the department have to call me back because it wasnt scheduled for the correct amount of time. It may be a cost cutting program to have centralized scheduling but there is no value to the parents or children trying to be seen.

My family has always had the best experiences with Akron Children’s Hospital. We’ve visited for a broken arm, a broken hand, a serious dog bite and several less dramatic episodes.

Knowing Akron Children’s is down the street, I feel empowered to let my kids try almost anything 😂

Excellent experience! All of the nurses on the 6200 Floor that we had were amazing. One in particular touched my heart. Chrissy, you are wonderful.

Such a pleasant young lady. You put your heart in what you do. Thank you. God Bless you and your family! And to all of the nurses that took care of my daughter, thank you! Everyone was simply amazing. I dont remember names well!

We recently brought my toddler in for his very first ER visit and had a great experience as far as ER visits can go. We didnt wait long at all in the waiting room before we were taken back to a room. Once in the room it did take some time for a doctor to come in and they didnt spend much time in the room at all but the popsicle my son received after the doctor was in did seem to help calm him down. The registration person didnt actually make it into the room until we were being released to leave but that didnt really impact our visit. Regardless, the doctor was quick to diagnose the problem, prescribed the necessary medications, and tried to be as quick as possible during her examination while still being thorough to ease my childs discomfort.

The staff was nice and professional but this hospital is always packed. We’ve waited from 9 PM and currently, all are still here at 1 AM only waiting on an x-ray for my 4-year-old little sister. We sat for the most part of this visit, waiting to get called back twice and we waited on nurse and doctor for hours. Also, while waiting it was a few children screaming and crying in the waiting room. So many parents and children were waited to be seen. There was also a time I’ve driven passed this hospital and it’s ALWAYS PACKED. I don’t know what the staff does for most of it’s spare time but they obviously don’t instantly service their patients. Not a bad hospital but not a considerable of their patients time.

My son was in a UTV accident and was air lifted to Akron Childrens. As parents we were devastated. From the minute my son got the emergency room the care was excellent. The trauma team was terrific. Ashley the nurse he had the first night in ICU was really exceptional and took great care of him as well as many other nurses throughout his stay. The communication was good throughout his stay in ICU and also as he improved and went to a regular room. Hali Ramsey was also involved throughout and then took care of his release . Released a week later and he is doing well so far. Highly recommend. Nobodys perfect but Im not sure what they could have done better.

This is primarily a warning. ACH charges over $1000 for a standard ultrasound. Most places charge $200-300 or $400 for a fancy 3D ultrasound.

The hospital remodel is very nice, but makes it difficult to find where you need to go if you havent been there in a while. The Cardiology department is great, Dr. Clark does amazing work.

The Neurodevelopmental Science Center has given us problems on multiple accounts for the last couple years but the last couple months have gotten ridiculous. After yesterdays visit I wrote a lengthy complaint email to the hospital for being treated with complete disrespect by the Dr. He told me I was smoking too much pot! I dont even smoke pot at all! What kind of Dr. keeps their job after talking to someone like that? He needs fired!!!! He makes the reputable hospital look really really bad!

What was supposed to be the happiest time of my life has transformed into a nightmare due to my children’s stay here

I am incredibly frustrated with the financial/bureaucratic part of this hospital. They have no system or recourse for disputing bills. For their occupational therapy (for kids), they are able to charge more than ordinary because their hospital is classified as a trauma hospital. The people working for them do not have medical doctorates (but medical certificates), and have set charges of over $300 an hour.

Extremely slow. Has little concept of time and no consideration for others. Especially when discharging a child.

Troy in the ER is the best nurse we have even experienced! He took the time to make us feel so at home even though the place was packed.

All the doctors here were amazing! Hospital was clean everyone was kind... Nurses as well. We brought our daughter in through the E.R. because she had stopped breathing at home. Out of the whole experience I must say that Dr. Paulin in the ACH E.R. is by far the best doctor we have ever met. She was very very PROFESSIONAL, THOROUGH, CARING, AND INFORMATIVE. This woman was amazing! #MORETHANADOCTOR THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This hospital was once great. My children are adults now and were treated there many times in years past, and the treatment was always superb. It saddens me greatly to see all of these negative reviews about recent experiences. These things happen to hospitals that are administered by business people and not doctors because profit becomes the motivation for decision making. My wife has worked for the hospital for many years. She and others with whom I am aware were not overworked in years past when our children received excellent care. In recent years, however, my wife works 10 to 12 hour shifts, comes home, eats dinner and has to login and work until about 2:00 am. She then has to work several hours at home on both of her days off and then work on her vacation days in order to get all of her work done. And she is only paid for 40 hours per week because she is classified as exempt; another word for slave. She has absolutely no personal life. She has aged 20 years in the last few years. Childrens Hospital is killing her. She will not complain because she is afraid of being fired. It is no wonder that the patient care has gotten so bad. Does anyone want sleep deprived medical professionals who have been mistreated by hospital management for years treating their children?
