Children’s Hospitals and Clinics

Such a great place, the staff were so friendly and helpful. They took such good care of not just my daughter but my whole family! My doctor and his staff were compassionate, thorough, and had great bedside manor.

Fantastic nurses & doctors — we’ve traveled here on several occasions instead of hospitals/​urgent care closer to where we live, because Children’s in Minneapolis provides top-​notch care. They know kids, and that makes all the difference in the world. They can do blood draws and start IVs in infants and toddlers without causing unnecessary distress, treating all patients with dignity and respect. It’s never a place that I’d *want* to go, if you know what I mean, but I’m so grateful for Children’s when we need them! Also, our first baby had to spend 1 – 2 weeks in the NICU here when she was born, and while the experience of course was horrific for us as first-​time parents, the entire NICU staff/​doctors were amazing, provided excellent care to our wee babe, and we felt we could trust them 100%. They are the best of all worlds — knowledgeable, compassionate, and clear doctor-​patient communication. Thank you, Children’s of Mpls!

Our daughter was born 6 weeks early and spent 10 days here in the Special Care Nursery. I have nothing but great things to say. Nurses and doctors were so helpful and supportive during this difficult time. I highly recommend this hospital.

If you have the ability to get to this children’s hopsital do it. WORTH EVERY CENT. I have never felt so surrounded by knowledge and concern by everyone we interacted with. Will ALWAYS take baby boy to Children’s.

I drive past 3 hospitals to get my kids to Children’s and for good reason. Time and time again I’m constantly blown away by how fantastic they are. Spectacular service — they get you in right away and comfortable. We’ve never had to wait more than 30 minutes to see a doc. Everyone from the x-​ray tech to the security guard at the front desk is friendly, professional and great with kids. The new facility is fantastic and state of the art. The only negative, through no fault of their own, is that the hospital is in a fairy scary part of town. That aside, there simply isn’t a better place for health care for kids — awesome.

As our newborn bakes a little bit more, it’s necessary to praise the staff of the NICU and the ICC. Also the Ronald McDonald House on site is a such a great resource for mental and physical rejuvenation.

The little lady spiked a nasty high temp that required a visit to the ER. For a first time parent, that’s a terrifying experience, but considering she’s doing well, I am able to look back at that long night with some clarity.
Everyone we encountered was great. They truly had a fantastic touch with little ones. The Dr. who treated us was especially amazing in her first-​time parent bedside manner. The ER has been recently remodeled and, wowzers, it’s first class. Once you are admitted to a room, they make you comfortable with a reclining chair and flat screen with cable.
It was my first time at Children’s (and I would love it to be my last), but if I do need to go back, I’ll feel confident in doing so.
