I took my 6 yo daughter there yesterday afternoon, Aug. 16th, 2025. She had cut her leg at school the previous day and was complaining of pain then but yesterday she was crying and claimed she could not walk. We saw 7? different people there, with only 1 who was semi-competent. A PA who simply had her do some jumping jacks. This young lady said she was not worried and did not need an x-ray. Some clown claiming he was the "attending physician" (Whatever that is), a guy who didn't even examine her!, who then forced her to get an x-ray that was not needed at all. Essentially she just needed the wound cleaned and dressed. Instead we spent almost 3 hours there and no one cleaned and dressed the wound, a scrape maybe the size of a quarter. Having watched an entire Disney film waiting to get the damn wound cleaned and dressed, I was fed up and went looking for someone to do the job. That place is a maze. I can't even tell where the nurse's station is. After wandering around like an idiot, I finally just decided to leave. At this point my daughter could walk just fine with little to no pain. I don't think she was in much pain to start with. She was crying earlier because she was simply lonely for other kids to play with. So I took her home and treated her myself. I couldn't even find anyone to tell them we were leaving. I am convinced this horrible treatment is a scam you guys use to bill insurance companies outrageous fees. I know through experience we are going to get stuck with at least a $1000 bill for this BULLSHIT. This is RIDICULOUS. You think making us sit there for hours for no point and giving her pointless x-rays is going to make it seem like you provided an actual service? You guys are either completely incompetent or con-artists or both. The design of the hospital as a maze is clearly done to intimidate people. I've been through this game with you guys in the past where you take FOREVER to do the simplest tasks when treating my son. I've had it. I'm not returning unless there is no other choice. How many people does it take to clean and dress a wound? She saw the people at the front door, a CNA, a triage nurse, then another nurse, a PA, then a "doctor", then another nurse, then 2 x-ray techs and then we watched an entire Disney film from start to finish, all the while waiting for a treatment that would have taken maybe 2 MINUTES in a competent clinic. Organizations like yours are the reason people are so fed up with the medical industry. Believe me I am going to make as much noise as possible. This is infuriating. read more

My son was transported here for acute appendicitis this week. Overall, I cannot anything but excellent things about this hospital. The nursing staff, the doctors, everything about this place was amazing. The staff was very welcoming and explained everything to us as needed. We never had any questions that did not go unanswered. If we ever are in the position again and need to take our boys here I would not hesitate. read more

Children's sent my 9 month old home AFTER 3.5 hours in the ER on a weekend, and basically said they didn't know what the issue was. They completely missed she had a simple ear infection. My insurance company paid over $1,095 to Children's for this visit, and they still want to bill me another $350 on top of the nearly $1,100. No wonder big hospitals and pharmaceutical companies have such a terrible reputation. Luckily, we knew something wasn't right, and took our daughter to Methodist (who couldn't believe Children's missed a simple ear infection), and got her the care she needed. Children's billing department won't even respond to polite emails in a timely manner. read more

Definitely a great Children's Hospital! We checked in with our son last Tuesday afternoon. The immediate review the place was great. The girl entering in our information and getting us checked in was great. The security staff was super friendly while we were getting our passes. I will admit it was kind of tricky at first trying to figure out where to go, but we achieved and overcome that confusion. We did not check out anything other than the six floor where our son was staying so I can't really provide a comment on the food or anything like that. The nursing staff was amazing, super friendly, and very open to discuss/answer questions, or get the information we were needing. The doctor that performed our son's surgery was super friendly and was very professional on every way. The staff in the OR triage were amazing as well! Hands-down, excellent experience all across the board for everything. read more

My autistic son had an MRI yesterday and we had outstanding care. The PATCH system was extremely helpful and served as an advocate for my son with each caregiver. The team answered every one of his questions and were patient and kind. We were surrounded by people that have obviously answered their calling to care for children. Thank you! read more

I personally had to stay here in December of 2020. This place is one of the best places I've ever had to stay in. The staff is super nice and they won't release you until they find out what's wrong and fix the problem they try to get you to be better as soon as they can. I stayed four days and I think If we wouldn't of gone here then I would still be in pain all the time and always be at the doctors eventually we probably would of went out of the state but thinks to the Children's hospital in Omaha they saved us a bunch of time and money. Thank you children's hospital read more

Children's Hospital - Hospitals Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I can't believe this is the only hospital in Omaha that specializes in children ? My one year old child was ill so I called her primary office to give them a description of her symptoms and what was going on. They told me to take her straight to children's and get her in ASAP. I rush her in right after I got off the phone and they tell me my one year old will have to sit in the waiting room for at least 3-4 hours before we can even get in a room. Are you kidding? I called my kid's doctor back and they said that's a joke. She needs seen sooner than 4 hours from now and that keeping a sick one year old in a waiting room won't be any help to her health. I pleaded with the nurses and explained what was going on and they basically told me "too bad so sad, everyone else here is dealing with the same problem". I asked if there was somewhere I could take her to have her seen sooner and they said "sure, but nobody else specializes in children and might just send you right back here." I left and I had to take her to another hospital that could get her in sooner. They don't "specialize" in children as the nurses in the ER at Children's put it, but at least my 1 year old kid wasn't waiting 3-4 hours in a waiting room. Why have an emergency room if you're not going to get kids in ASAP? Do you not know what an emergency is? Get it together Children's. This hospital is a joke. read more

Good specialty care clinics, have received good care! Billing is terrible, and the ER is terrible.

Over the past 10 years my son has been going to Childrens's a few times a year . Doctors have always Been good , nurses wonderful but there are a few things I noticed that could be improved . First of all the parking sucks , I have spent many times driving out and back in the parking garage to try to find a spot over and over again until someone pulls out . I know it's a tight area but if does make it a hassle . They also tend to move the location of the doctors many many times . When my son was born the clinic he saw was by Hy-Vee on Cass street then they moved it inside Childrens , changing floors and locations often and now they moved it again to a different building on Cass where the parking equally sucks . I wish they would just stop doing that ! read more

Avoid this place if possible! Before we had a child, I had thought Children's was the premiere facility in the state for child care. You see the commercials on TV and the massive building on Dodge Street. It really does appear that way. That's what all the advertising tells you. However, it's all a facade. Our daughter was a week and a half old when we first went there. We went to the ER because she was uncontrollably crying for up to 8 hours straight every day uncontrollably. Turning purple and baelrely able to catch her breath. The ER was very run down in the waiting area, once inside and in the room it was better. The one thing I will say positive is that when they saw how young she was they took her back very quickly to avoid being around the sick kids. They felt she was dehydrated because she wouldn't eat much for us for a few days so they wanted her omitted to the hospital side. When we arrived, the floor was so rundown. The rooms were so old. Furniture worn out and creaky, not a comfortable atmosphere for parents or babies at all. It was freezing in there, the thermostat didn't work. No amenities for parents like soap if we wanted to shower. I get they are doing renovations but this really was not what we expected and certainly not what they advertise. The hospital felt we were over feeding her. So a completely different story than what the ER told us. I explained that's not possible. She is clearly in pain. They did an xray of her stomach, it was fine. We were minimized the whole time. Like they didn't believe us. Have you tried the five "S's" for soothing? A "Paci"? That's all they kept saying like we were clueless and YES! we did. When I told them it didn't work they asked if we were doing it correctly and even watched me feed her 3 times to make sure I did it correctly. Really? Talk about a smack in the face. I understand people come in that are young and some who have completely no idea what's going on with no means to take care of their child...but that's not us. Not everyone is the same. They said nothing was wrong. I asked if it could be a formula allergy they said no thats very rare and isnt the case. In the middle of the night she was wailing, I called the nurses in so they could see it. They came in and just said oh just soothe her, nonchalantly. I just cried. They didnt listen or understand our concerns. Before discharge, they brought about 10 to 15 people in the room doing rounds which we DID NOT APPRECIATE. We didn't even get asked if that was OK. During the rounds the doctor said her diagnosis was nothing was wrong and to do the five S's. What a waste. Parents come in at their most vulnerable only to feel minimized and be gaulked at by a parade of people during rounds. At least ask if that's ok, and it wasn't. Come to find out later from our primary, it WAS a bad formula allergy and reflux. So it wasn't nothing and certainly something the five S's or a "paci"won't magically cure. Also, we recently went to the orthopedics area on the 4th floor because our daughter has hip dysplasia. We asked our primary if there was any other facility to go to but they recommended here- unfortunately. She was given a Pavlik Harness. They didn't even ask if that was ok or gave us a chance to get a second opinion they already had her placed in it. The new doctor, again, brought 3 other people in with her to stare at my daughter like an animal in the zoo. The room was filled as I cried about the invasive harness. We had concerns that were not really addressed. We asked questions that were vaguely answered like how to put clothes on her or take the brace off for baths. Or change a diaper. We were just told to Google a video and felt rushed. The doctor gave us cookie cutter answers. So we went home completely uneducated and relied soley on google to figure things out. We received no hard instructions like the brace and diagnosis was no big deal. Before leaving we noticed the packaging for the brace that was tossed aside and not given to us had a few not many tips on it which I took. No thanks to the doctor. This place has bad customer service and bed side manner, except the ER. You are made to feel minimized and not listened to. Like every child or instance is the same. Its not. Just because something is the case for some its jot like that for all. You cant generalize. Thats how mistakes are made and things are missed. It's a busy place, I get that. But it feels more like a factory...get kids in, get them out, bring more in. Like its all about the money. Frankly I wish we could get our money bsck because it was a complete waste We were left traumatized after our experiences and every time we have to go back I dread it. I hope parents know this going in because we were completely blind sided. If possible, seek care for your child elsewhere! Not recommended AT ALL!! read more

A couple months ago, my wife and I basically had to stay at this hospital for a couple weeks while our daughter was in the NICU. We live in Council Bluffs, so the drive wasn't too bad. The NICU doctors and most nurses were top notch! What more can I say about them possibly saving my daughter's life? The amenities weren't the best. My daughter was transferred to Children's from Bergan Mercy. Bergan had individual rooms for every NICU baby with a TV, fold out couch and chair. Children's had curtain rooms with one leather recliner and a normal chair, which was uncomfortable. Bergan also had a community fridge where you could grab a water, apple juice, etc. for free. Children's didn't have that. I say that Children's doesn't have these things just as a note to people. Obviously, the only thing I really care about is that my daughter is now a 9-week, healthy baby thanks to the Neo-Natologists at Children's. Without them, it's possible that my daughter wouldn't be here today. Their overnight policy was that my wife and I both couldn't be sleeping at night beside my daughter in her room, but you can technically have visitors 24/7; so one of us either had to stay at our home at night or we'd have to take turns being awake. For a married couple, I thought this policy was crap. The cafeteria was pretty good. Their food is super cheap on purpose to ease the huge hospital bills that families usually incur. A cheeseburger and a heaping portion of fries is under $3! And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Overall, I thank Children's for possibly saving my daughter's life. And like I said before, without them and their professionalism and expertise, I'm not sure if my daughter would be here today. read more

Zero Stars. I took my son to Children's Hospital Vision Clinic. They gave him the wrong glasses prescription not once, not twice but THREE seperate times. Thank God I didn't force him to wear the glasses with any of the incorrect lenses in them. Every time we went, we saw a different eye doctor. They all scared me by basically saying his vision was horrible and one told me he may never be able to drive. We went to Schaffer Family Eyecare and they gave us the correct eyeglasses and were absolutely baffled that we had been failed so astronomically by Children's. Don't take your kids here. read more

Today is the 4th time I go to Children's er and I had to walk out with out being seen. After waiting for 3 hrs they still couldn't tell me how much longer I will have to wait because my son issue wasn't as important as the rest. I don't see how having a sharp metal wire coming out his mouth while the other end is incarnated into his gums is not important but that was the reason I was given after seeing multiple people come in hrs before me and my child and being seen. I had to walk out because they pretty much told me since my child wasn't sick he pretty much was not going to be seen any time soon. read more

Waited for an hour and a half. Two people came in after me and they were seen first. I ended up leaving. Worst care by front staff I could possibly imagine. Will not be returning. Its about how much money they can make. read more

We had many great experiences at Children's; two surgeries with one child, speech therapy with another, stitches at the ER, and visiting various departments from ENT to orthopedics. There is an inviting playroom where professionals babysit siblings for free. My son and I would go after speech therapy to play. The many specialists we've seen have improved my children's lives, and everyone is friendly and accommodating, from valets to receptionists to doctors. Once my son, when about four, needed stitches and the ER doctor did a fantastic job keeping my child AND me calm while still working quickly and well. Each department is well thought out, with soothing colors and appropriate spaces. For instance, I could go to another room and observe speech therapy sessions using headphones and looking through a one-sided glass window. At three, it helped my son concentrate while I could still learn what we needed to practice. The parent portal makes it easy and convenient to keep up to date on bills. One caution that my lack of knowledge resulted in my one negative experience is to be aware that anesthesiology bills do not appear on that portal, so you will want to analyze each statement from the children's hospital carefully. My credit took a 10-point hit because of a 90-dollar bill I initially thought was fraudulent and was sold to a debt collector. With that in mind, if you want the best experience and care, go to Children's. We are lucky to have them in Omaha. read more

This place is amazing. I have tons of health conditions and am always in the ER. The staff is super nice and calming. They get you back as fast as they can and make sure you get a comfortable room. They work their way around getting you tests as fast as they can and are constantly checking in on you. They are very thorough and reassuring. The security is even nice. I've never been to such a nice children's hospital before. If you need a hospital for someone 17 and under take them here it is worth it trust me. You will be in great hands. read more

What a joke! We were told by the appointment scheduler that our appointment to have our autistic son's cast removed was on October 15th at 1:15. When we arrived for our appointment, we were told that the scheduler had misspoken and our appointment was actually not until October 19th. In spite of our objections, no one in that entire hospital was willing to do the right thing and squeeze us in on the day we were told our appointment was. So now we have to reschedule our child care, work absences, and autism therapy when we did nothing wrong. It seems really unfair that we are the ones to be inconvenienced twice and have no recourse and the people who made this error in the first place walk away unscathed. Our advice is make sure you get your appointments in writing and challenge the discrepancies before leaving the desk! read more

Bad ER group, waited in the room for 4 hours before they gave my baby a IV for fluids. Then left us in the room for a hour with the nurse bottom on, the machine was beeping. Amanda Smith was the practitioner and she did not keep us updated on any blood work or X-rays taken. I asked several of times but no one had any idea. (Figures) I was told by several different girls that they will find Amanda and have her come and talk to me. Finally 2 hours later, here comes Amanda... Total of 8 hrs in the ER unbelievable! Go to another hospital if your baby is ill. They obviously don't care about patients and can die in front of them without them lifting a inch to help * They also misdiagnosed my daughter. I had to take her to the doctors the next day because she had other infections that Amanda failed to treat!! Talk about a BIG medical bill. I shouldn't even have to pay for this hospital visit because 1. Amanda Smith was a disaster 2. She failed to actually treat and help my sick baby. 3. The hole ER team was LOST!! Please go somewhere else if you want prompt and proper treatment. read more

I spent a great deal of time in the NICU, as my daughter was a preemie and very sick. We delivered at Bergan and she was then transferred to Children's via ambulance for possible ECMO. The day she was transferred was one of the most devastating days of my life. The ambulance crew were more than informative and empathetic. When we got to Children's, we waited out in the waiting room until a staff member came and talked to us to tell us that she did well on the way over. Once babe was settled in, Dr. Willit changed all of her medications and it was semi-miraculous in that she started getting better from the instant she set foot inside Children's. The next 16 days were spent here day and night. They basically saved my daughter's life and I am forever grateful! Spending so much time here, I did find things to complain about. First off, they don't allow parents to sleep bedside. I thought this rule was completely ridiculous. A nurse told us that in the past, sexual activity occurred between parents. One person breaks a rule and it ruins it for everyone. When your baby is sooooo sick, you don't want to leave them EVER! They wouldn't let us stay without staying awake, which was impossible. We had one nurse out of a dozen who I didn't care for. When i was learning how to breastfeed she stood over my shoulder constantly which made me really uncomfortable. Having so much staff in NICU made it also difficult to get a substantial answer from anyone. Doctors rotate weekly. so a doctor that I really like, I wouldn't see them probably again. The food in the cafeteria was pretty darn good. Because i was/am breastfeeding they gave us vouchers which made the food basically free everyday. They had something for everyone. After discharge, I felt comfortable taking baby home. I would recommend Children's to anyone! read more

My son was transport by the transportation team twice they are amazing. When they admitted my son they never asked about insurance and they never made sure what was onfile was correct. Then the miss communication that happens in this hospital was horrible throughout the doctors and all team members involed. My son is on spectrum and it was bad situation but I excepted better and I asked Friday for the access to call me and they just got hold of me today which he has been out of there hospital since Sunday. Really sad none of my other three kids will be back there at all!!! I will request a different hospital. There are good doctors and staff that we meet there and I will be greatful for ever for the work they did on my son. The hospital as a whole needs to work on communication, so family like mine and our situation don't have to go through what we went through. read more

this hospital has gone down hill the hospital is absolutely disgusting the floors didn't look like they were cleaned in months the wait time is horrendous and the care we received was not good we waited for hours for nothing no meds just informed to give Tylenol as needed for a fever and to follow up with his primary doctor if his symptoms don't improve or get worse and to top that off after we were seen by the nurse not a doctor we waited few hours for the discharge paperwork why does it need to take that long for your discharge paperwork I would not recommend this place to anyone this used to be my go to hospital for my children not anymore I will have to suck it up and go to Lakeside Hospital read more

Our family has had nothing but the worst experience at childrens in the ER. My son went into the Er on April 16th due to running into a bleacher, lost concisousness and urinated himself while also breaking skin to his skull above his left eye. I called to let them know we were on our way around 7pm. When we got there they admitted him and then made him sit in the waiting room for almost 45 min with soiled pants, dirt all over his face, hair with an open wound, and couldn't keep his eyes open. They informed me that it was ok to let him sleep and we had to wait for our turn while their were other children running around in the waiting room. I asked for a wet towel so I could start cleaning him up. After waiting for 45 minutes they then called him back put a cotton ball of numbing solution on his opened wound and then had to go back again and sit in the waiting room for another 10 minutes. From there we finally were placed in a room where the resident said that may have been the worst he had seen in a while and took a picture of it. Finally at 9pm Dr. Michael Gorr came in asked me is that dirt in his wound, I replied yes it is. After flushing it 3 times and my son was trying to figure out what is going on as he had been sleeping this whole time (concussion). Dr. Gorr said he needed to call in a plastice surgeon. At this point my son still had not been tested for a concussion. Finally at 11pm my son was seen by the plastic surgeon Dr. Dwight Jones and told us he needs to be put out to thouroughly flush the wound out to make sure there will be no infection. We finally went into surgery at midnight and released us at 3am. Still no concussion test. Im upset about how long the action took and how they never checked for a concussion. We are supposed to be at a specialty hospital for children. The other experience came on May 19, 2019. My son started having lower abdominal pains on his right side the night of may 18th, 2019. On May 19th I checked his temp which was 101, loss of appetite, still right side abdominal pain and barely could walk. I first called Womans Methodist about what I should do and because they can not do ultrasounds on children they would have sent him to childrens so we decided to go to childrens right away at 10am. We were placed in a room right away, the nurse poked around on him made him jump, tapped the bottoms of his feet, and bent his legs. From there Dr. Prince Harrison MD came in and said we are going to have him go in for an ultrasound. My son was in tears because I had to let him know what was going on so he wasn't blind sided. Dr. Prince was looking at him and asking why are you crying if you go into surgery you wont even know whats going on, which I thought was very unprofessional. In the midst of this before ultrasound they gave him morphine with no diagnosis. During his whole ultrasound my son slept through it all. After his ultrasound and before we even got back to the room we were told his appendix looked great and was beautiful. They asked me when the last time my soon had a bowel movement and I replied on the morning of the may 18th, 2019. They asked if hes ever had a UTI, I replied no he drinks daily and urinates daily. They took a urine sample and the test came back negative. The nurse gave him another dose of tylenol. Dr. Prince Harrison then sent us home at 3pm with Mirolax and said I think hes just backed up. My son and I then left the hospital still in excrutiating pain. We got home and the pain still never went down unless he wasn't moving. On May 20th I called our pediatrian Dr. Sheila Isaacson and she wanted to see him right away, she knew he was in pain and said we are going to figure out what is wrong. Dr. Isaacson did a very thourough exam, ran a strep test, checked for pneumonia, blood work and then sent us to boystown for another ultrasound which was around 1pm because we denied going to childrens hospital again. There is was confirmed, not even 48 hours later he was having an appendicitis. He went into surgery at 7pm that night. Which come to find out after pathology reports came back my sons appendix had ruptured. Not impressed at all. read more

OCH may be due for a cultural overhaul. Why spend almost 3 days here to have a doc with a chip on his shoulder toss bitter speculation around without doing any medical testing; and no consultation with the interdisciplinary team to ensure he operates within his scope. OCH you've got some staff ( I will hopefully believe are in the minority ) that are an ethics hazard about to blow. This particular MD's lack of knowledge of basic child development was an appalling reflection of OCH's apparent mission. Management look closer please at feedback from your customers; you'll find there's still work to be done. read more

I have always loved the Childrens Hospital, my dad was always in and out of Methodist so at night my mom and I would walk around the entrance and check out the sculptures and water fountains. Very welcoming and calming place. read more

The Childrens hospital staff is the best. From security guard to valet and environmental staff to the top doctor, the care these people give is tremendous! God bless the special people who do special work! read more

While the Emergency access staff and nursing staff were very courteous and helpful, I cannot say the same about the doctor and physician assistant my son had. My son who is one had a fever of 105 degrees, they gave him Motrin, checked his ears, ran a urinalysis to check for infection and stated he had an infected belly button (because it was red), they couldn't give me a definitive answer why his fever was so high and they seemed like they were in a hurry and didn't give me time to ask questions. The next day we decided to take him to his regular physician. He has a severe right ear infection, which is what caused the high fever. While this was a horrible experience, other doctors I have met here have been very helpful and seemed to actually care. read more

Very happy with how our daughter got treated. Some results seemed to take some time to get but taking into consideration the Drs work in teams try try to come up with a conclusion. Information to each other seems to be discussed well. read more

Hospital part of Children's is the worse, they lie, steal and if you don't agree with treatment plan due to misdiagnosis's and other doctors agree it was but they won't stop on that. Do not allow your child if different to be placed in here as they don't follow other doctor's orders on treatment, and plans. They want to do their own thing. Residents are not doctors, they are still qualifying but to have those residents attack companies of other doctors with years of experience and children's ER docs are crazy. They also stole medication from my daughter room that cost $$ as they cannot get it. They even took an unopen can of formula and won't return. Along with the difficulty mentioning this to get refills as they don't pay for this. read more

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. We love children's! They'll keep you informed at all times about your child no secrets! They answer all questions and are just outstanding!! read more

Worst experience I've ever had in an ER. Inadequate nurses and MD'S who care only about getting a paycheck. Don't even understand basic physiology of the body. Sent my child home who was having recurrent high temps in 104 and 105 range for 3 says straight, severely dehydrated and refused to do an CBC or any other blood work to determine her BUN/Creatinine or any other tests, i.e. urine anaylsis. Told me it was just viral gastroenteritis (stomach flu). Turns out my daughter had a severe kidney infection and she was admitted at UNMC since I refused to have any MD touch her at Children's after that experience. If Children's Hospital is so highly rated, I wonder the IQ of the people giving them this rating. If you want your child to actually receive diagnostic testing and necessary medical treatment please do your child a favor and don't take them to Children's. read more

Horrible at scheduling surgery. They call and cancel last minute and give you one excuse after another like you don't have a life of your own and can just sit around all day until they decide to actually take your kid the day they say they will. The worst part is, they know they can treat you like dirt because there's not another hospital around that does this particular surgery. You can't go anywhere else. No worry folks, I don't have a job or bills to pay. Jerks... read more

I had to take my daughter to ER last night. From 6pm on, My daughter's pain kept increasing to where she couldn't handle it, to the point of tears so we chose to go to Children's hospital! We got there at around 11:50pm. Got her checked in fine and was put in a room right away but after the door closed we sat there for over 3 hours and had the worst care in that 3 hours, and was sent away still in pain and no definite answers, just a guessing game. We seen the doctor at around 1:10am and he said to stop taking two of her meds and he would prescribe another to replace one she was on so she could continue her breathing treatments at home for a totally different illness that was irrelevant to why we were at Children's last night. It took them 2 hours before they gave her medicine for the pain, nurse came in, gave her a pill at 2:03am and just walked out. No, I will check back to see how she feels, nothing! We sat there for another 30 minutes not knowing what to do?? finally the nurse practitioner came in but didn't ask if she was feeling better, just told us to stop taking two meds she was on and follow up with our primary doctor. I had to ask about a script for pain so she said she would talk to the doctor. My daughter had been in pain for 8 1/2 hours straight up until then. Lack of communication among the nurse-nurse practitioner-doctor. The nurse came in and released us at a little after 3am, no script, nothing. At this point I just wanted to get out of there, i was done and was not going to wait another 30 minutes for a script so i didn't ask. As my daughter and I were walking out there were at least 10 nurses and the doctor around the nurses station talking and laughing-doing NOTHING. So it was obvious they were not busy!! They did not say one word to us. Now that I look back, I can't believe they made her walk out and not use a wheel chair for her. We went in because my daughter was having excruciating pain in both her knees and could barely walk! We don't know if the meds she was put on the night before was causing a weird reaction?? Then as I was leaving the parking lot the nurse practitioner came out, flagged us down and handed us a script for pain! What the Heck! I finally told her that i was not happy with the way we were treated, this was a horrible experience! The doctor told us he would write a new script for her breathing treatments and we didn't even get that! so now my daughter can't do her breathing treatments because she was told to not take the one she was on cus it may be causing her knees to hurt. I really don't think they cared! I left a lot of details out like the doctors first words to Carly when he walked into the room was, " why are you crying?" I know he probably was trying to be humorous but with all this we found no humor in it! I wish I would have went to Midlands Hospital right by my house, I always have good care there. I just thought this was a weird situation and maybe Children's would be a better choice. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Spent the night here with my baby who needed lots of labs and tests done. A few nurses were ok, but most were snotty who only cared about a paycheck, with no bed side manner. The worst is what you're greeted with with you walk in. The receptionist is a rude, snotty, obese woman in a stained up t-shirt with messy hair &a huge brass knuckles tattoo on her arm with no attempt to cover it. As we sat in the waiting room with our sick infant she sat and laughed on the phone during her personal phone call. The most unprofessional hospital I've ever been to. read more

Our son has been receiving treatment for Crohn's disease in the GI department for about 2 years. All the staff are great, especially Dr. Huang who is very knowledgeable, attentive and caring. He understands teenagers (!) and explains things very well. The infusion center and the staff are equally good. Last year, our son had a servere fracture of his tibia and fibula, which required surgery to repair, followed by a second surgery when the wound became infected. The orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Jensen and his staff were also excellent. The hospital is fairly small, which meant coordination of GI, orthopedics and infectious disease was very efficient while he was treated for three serious conditions simultaneously. We highly recommend this hospital if your child is seriously ill. read more

Perez, helps me with opening doors or my truck door since I have 2 little ones and have to take my double stroller. parks my truck close by, he knows im with 2 little ones and have to get them in and out and have certain time. VERY KIND AND HELPFUL. I always look forward to valet parking, knowing my truck is in good care! Thank you for making my mornings easier. read more

I have been taking my child (who has a lifelong medical condition requiring ongoing treatment and prescriptions) to Children's of Omaha for over a year (4th floor, Endocrinology). When it comes to getting necessary prescriptions written for the right amount of medications and medical products, they have been mostly efficient. Our last doctor (in another state) always made sure we had plenty of written prescriptions because my child's disease is highly reliant on insulin and blood strips and we cannot run out or his health would be in jeopardy. He has juvenile diabetes, also known as type 1 diabetes. We don't need "presription police" when it comes to a medication that keeps my kid alive, basically. One appointment, I told the nurse I needed to be sure to have enough insulin and blood strips and she was hostile with me. I never figured out why. We cannot overfill prescriptions, we pay with insurance and they won't cover overfilling. Was the nurse worried we would run off with the written prescriptions and not make our next appointment? Ridiculous. We make every appointment and keep them and they have records of that. We want the HbA1c blood test results which show how good my child's 3 month blood sugars are, and that is important to us. We are not missing appointments. I have never met my child's endocrinologist, Dr. Corley, we have only seen the practicioners that work under him. Our last endo saw us each and every time, no questions and was polite and friendly regardless of our vaccination beliefs. We are forced to see one of 2 unpleasant female docs, one who cannot even seem to tolerate my child for 5 minutes (why would you work with sick kids if you can't deal with them?), and the other, who pressured me threateningly (tone and look on her face) to get my child a flu shot, when we have clearly stated our (religious) objections to vaccines. They need to learn what a religious exemption is and don't we make these people enough money already with 4 appointments a year and a steady stream of prescriptions written by them? When someone says, "we don't believe in that." you don't bring it up again. We have rights and will exercise them. The one good thing about this office is that they usually get back to you quickly regarding school orders for your kid's disease, or prescriptions sent quickly and you don't have to have too much grief getting meds that are needed. I am weighing whether or not to stay with this endocrinology office. It's a toss-up. If they continue to pressure us, we will seek another doctor who can accept our medical decisions in a more professional manner. read more
