Best Pediatric Gastroenterologist Springfield Near Me

Jennifer: My kid went here for lactose intolerance test. The nurses and staff were almost too good. My son enjoyed going so much that a year later he keeps asking to go back.

Jessica Romani: This place is wonderful. They are super nice, helpful, wonderful with kids. It's really nice in there. It's everything a doctor's office for kids should be.

Chelsea Matteson: Nothing but great things to say about this office. We were in to see the specialist quickly and every staff member was awesome with our son. I especially loved that they didn't talk down to him at all even though he's 5. He understands everything from the visit and the wonderful phlebotomist from the lab even gave him a special gift because his birthday was yesterday. We left feeling confident in the medical staff and his treatment plan.

J. Rodriguez: Great all around! They were able to diagnose my son and pin point his exact conditions and refer him to the right treatment!

Kayla Kenney: The building itself is so beautiful and clean ! And the staff that we had the pleasure of getting today was wonderful. Especially a nurse practitioner that goes by nurse Kat !! They were friendly and my daughter (who hates doctors) warmed up to them all. Feeling blessed! Best crew we’ve had

Stephanie W: Very good with kids

Greg H: I get a kick out of Alec in commercial. He's going to northwestern???...for free, he got a better life than me. Why should I donate my hard earned money?? So he can continue to get a free, much better life than myself???....no. don't think so

Hick Hunter: First thing coming to my mind seeing "Alec" boasting about 18 surgeries, I think what the atmospheric costs on just 1 individual have been, and how many others could have been helped if funds were diverted elsewhere...the icing on the cake is seeing him going to northwestern... which costs over $60 k each year to attend...I won't donate a penny, because I NEVER received welfare such as this person has...yet Shriners still tries to shove their donation pitch down our throats with all of their commercials...only ones I feel sorry for are the donators who have seen their own children go to less prestigious colleges...while Alec is given special treatment...the Germans had special treatment during WW2...fortunate for ALEC he didn't have to face it...

Donna Oday: I'm a former patient from Springfield Massachusetts Shriners hospital, and have scoliosis, and arthritis in my back. There is no cure for that

Kim Amlaw: Edit.... Since my original bad review, I had a nurse from palliative care call and speak to Shriners. Then I recieved a phone call from management who apologized and explained there was a severe miscommunication over this. Shriners was under the impression from our dr referral that we wanted surgery. That is not the case. They have agreed to do a consult with my daughter and hopefully give her the help she so desperately needs.Original post.....My daughter has a severe curvature to her spine which is causing difficulties with her internal organs. She needs a back brace but Shriners said, "we will not see her due to her complexities. We will refer her to boston childrens." They didn't even try. Just refused to see her. I tried reasoning with them but was shot down. I am extremely disappointed as my daughter will not survive a surgery (which is what Boston childrens would do). I feel like they could have least seen her before deciding they wont help her.

Roger C: Very professional and respectful they made my son feel very comfortable and at ease

scott masaitis: Great place for kids

Maeve Bidonde: I went here about 2 years ago and have a follow up soon and the staff who were caring for me at my appointment were amazing and explained how things worked and explained what the plan was to us and made it comprehensible to us. The staff also had a sense of humor and I myself loved that as I am sarcastic with a huge sense of humor. Overall great experience.

Eric Brown: My daughter had foot surgery with an overnight and the staff was incredible! They were super attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. Keep up the great work, Shriners!

John McIntyre: Shriner's just does it right. After having a less than stellar experience at our local orthopedics practice, because they said they had a pediatric specialist and they did not. This was three years ago when my daughter was three and we and her primary physician had concerns about a leg length discrepancy and knock knees, we came to Shriner's. We returned last week for a follow up. The thing about Shriner's is that they have a focus on the care of the child over all else. Our other orthopedic practice was focused on getting us in and out with little time for explanations and was more focused on getting us booked for another appointment than just admitting they didn't have much expertise with children. Of course most of the time was focused on how we were going to pay our specialist copay and what insurance we had.The difference at Shriner's is caring and expertise (in our case) with children's orthopedics. From the minute you walk in the door, everyone is focused on the patient. The entire experience is helping that child. They know how to treat children and connect with them at their level. From the security guards, to checkin staff, nurses, volunteers to play with the children while waiting, radiology staff and doctors all focus on the child. This is the way healthcare should be delivered.The Doctors and PAs took time to explain and answer our questions and address our concerns. I know this seems very flowery, but this hospital's care is an example of how to do it right. Thank you Shriner's.

Crystal Brunelle: They are the best and I am waiting to get my boy back there so he can walk out on his own...

Christopher Templin: My 7 year old needed knee surgery and all of the staff from security to the nurses and the doctors were amazing. I recommend Shriners hospital to anyone who needs treatment for their kids.

Trisha E: Extremely disappointed in the care I received at Shriners Hospital. I came to Shriners for a second opinion with my 1year old son approximately 3 months after a lower leg fracture. I wanted a specified plan of care by a physician who solely treats children. We had our first visit and it was nothing different than our previous orthopedic. After a follow up with one of my sons primary physicians who voiced her concern about his leg. I asked to be seen for another appointment and specifically requested to see an MD in place of the NP we saw the first time. I was told this couldn’t happen and the NP was who I would be able to see. I obliged and had the follow up appointment to be told “everything was fine” with my son and to stop worrying. About 5 weeks after that visit I called Shriners and requested to be seen because for the first time since my son broke his leg he was showing signs of pain and limping on his affected leg. I left a message with the triage nurse around 2pm and got a call back within 15 minutes, I explained the situation to the nurse who said she would speak to the physician and get back to me. I did not hear back from Shriners for 24 hours after I initially called and the nurse simply told me to “give my son some Motrin”To receive a phone call 24 hours after I requested to be seen for a change in my sons condition is absolutely unacceptable. This in turn forced me to seek emergency care for my son elsewhere. Which resulted in me requesting his records to be sent to them immediately after. I completed the records release form the same day and the receptionist assured me if I had the office who needed the records call and ask for them to be expedited it would not be a problem. A week later at our follow up appointment still no records had been sent.I am discouraged, angry and hurt at the way I have been treated while advocating for my son to receive the highest level of care he deserves and hope no parent has to feel the way I do.

Ines M. Ocasio: I recommend the hospital service worked with my concerns promptly and quickly clarified my doubts. Excellent

S Bates: Without exception, everyone here was so nice

Alyssa Letendre: Shriners hospital so far has been a good hospital I have only gone once this is my first time going I now go there for physical therapy the doctors are very very educated they only do the things needed if absolutely needed I was not put in a brace however because my spine was 1 - 4 degrees under the limit because of this I was giving physical therapy to help with the scoliosis pain but if my scoliosis continues to get worse along with my growth and my spine continues to get worse then I will be forced in this

Beverly Vila: Good caring doctors

US Radio TV: I like this place. It's a really nice hospital for kids.
