Children's Hospital of Michigan

"This hospital is nasty. There's full trash bins everywhere with trash falling out. Trash all over the floors and in the chairs. From the way the inside looks you'd think you would catch something sitting in the waiting room. I don't feel like all my concerns were addressed. It sucks that a children's hospital, or any hospital of that matter would look the way this one does. It's a shame. You'd think from all the negative reviews that the hospital would do some improving. Apparently not. The something other people were complaining about months/years ago are the same complaints being made to date."

"Horrible most ghetto hospital ever got there at 4am and didn’t leave until 1pm my daughter was coughing up blood so I immediately rushed to the hospital for them to have me waiting there for hours the er looked empty , she was still coughing up blood bottom line they don’t care unless ur child is near death once I seen the doctor they told me she was coughing up blood due to a nose bleed . My daughter asked for water never brought her anything they do not care out ur children at all. Nurses and doctors were very arrogant . Do not recommend ."

"ER is complete disaster, dirty, over crowded, no cleaning crew. Trash all on floor. Hours of waiting. There is no excuse for making people wait hours and hours to see a dr. No one checks in with patients to give an update. Kids will get sick waiting in this place!!! Will not be coming here again!"

"I’ve brought my children here over the years of being a mother to young children. So when my youngest got sick and his pediatrician asked me to bring him to the ER, I drove from Taylor to bring him here. We waited 8 1/2 hours (people waiting even longer than I did). The staff is extremely overwhelmed, and aren’t able to keep up, not to the fault of their own I might add! Trying to keep up with the expectations of parents with sick babies, cannot be an easy task. The nurses, doctors, registration staff, and student doctors were amazing in my opinion, very informative, and helpful - which is why I waited with my sick 3 year old that was diagnosed with RSV eventually as long as I did. I’ve never had to wait so long before this past weekend, (this would have been my 3rd visit at this hospital ER within 6 years though). Seems like everyone is getting this awful respiratory illness. So I get waiting 3 hours, but 8 + is too long otherwise. I also do not agree that a family had to grieve their deceased child in front of the entire waiting room, and wasn’t given a private room - which eventually security had them escorted outside where they continued to grieve. That broke my heart! The guards could be a little more friendlier, but I get a full waiting room is also overwhelming for them too. This used to be my favorite hospital. I’m not sure I’ll go back again if this is the way it is now with emergency waiting room times, and not enough staff to keep things running more smoothly."

"For whatever reason, every time I come here w/ my (preemie) infant they take literally nothing serious and have me waiting for FOUR hours. Not only did he have to go on a Cpap w/ low oxygen but had to stay overnight. Came again yesterday and didn’t get seen for 4 hours, sat in the room for three more under the impression my kid would get labs. Nurse never checked on him, despite me constantly asking for help. Was told by the doctor that my baby was “forgotten about” and that she was “so sorry”. This is an ER for a reason. You're better off going to Motts!!"
