UNC Hospitals Children's Specialty Clinic

While in recovery for heart surgery my son received a bed sore on the back of his head. He also threw up in his face mask and choked on his vomit. The drs then pushed for me to give him a trach and said his heart was okay. But instead his heart wasn't pumping enough blood to his body, therefore he was dying and the cardiologist, surgeon, pediatrician all wanted him to get a trach and send him home. UNC piedatric heart department needs to be shut down and revaluated.

Wonderful hospital. Wonderful people.

So pleased with the care and compassion we have received throughout my son’s procedure to fix a cracked elbow with Dr. Louer! This organization as a whole is top of the line and I’m so thankful my son has been cared for by this hospital. Everyone from the physicians to the valet parking staff are simply amazing! So worth driving 2 1/2 hours for ud83dudc4dud83cudffc

I really hate to leave bad comments but this time it’s necessary. my husband, daughter and I traveled to the UNC Rex hospital from WILMINGTON, NC. AND SHE DID NOT GET THE GENETIC TEST DONE. we spoke with dr Spence and waited a good two hours to go down to the lab for the nice women to tell me there is no order in for her test... she suggested that I call the next day (Saturday 7/20) and just walk in any time between 8am-1pm to have her test finally done... so we pay out of pocket to stay the night in a hotel to wake up, call UNC and hear there is STILL NO GENETIC TEST ORDERED FOR MY DAUGHTER. most likely the hospital here in Wilmington had poor communication, would not surprise me. but I am extremely upset that I have been planning that doctors appointment for MONTHS to get absolutely NOTHING done but a waste of my time and money. I will be contacting supervisors for this. just ridiculous; I may be a little over the edge because I looked forward to going to a “UNC” specialty clinic. I’ve been planning and wrapping my schedule around this test since APRIL; I still cannot believe I was driving away from Raleigh without a test done for my daughter. We left the facility around 5pm and a nurse called me at 7:30 LOL. If I had waited ANOTHER two hours with an 18 month old little girl I would have been LIVID. So if I could give Zero stars I would. Unfortunately my daughter was the last patient on a Friday afternoon, clearly the Doctor was ready for his boat weekend. Something was more important than a simple genetic test order for my daughter.
