I've been here before, but only to donate blood. Donating platelets is a much longer process, and they certainly made sure it was a easy and comfortable as possible. The beds to donate have tv screens and headsets to keep you entertained, they bring you blankets and pillows and everything you need to be comfortable. I felt very pampered the entire time. I will definitely continue to come to this location whenever I want to donate.

Hell, I really don't know what the hell because I was drinking tequila during this conversation so this review of a once for profit but now non profit art studio that has not been sold or closed but yet opens for the Day of the Dead festival one day per year, blah, bleh, blibbity bleh..yadda yadda..drone.. Holy Shit Birmingham peeps!! This is more damn confusing than a goverment website! Is it closed or open? Seems simple..well.. I was there so I am going to say its OPEN. But if I came back in a week, it would be closed. Insane Artist People!! I love ya but answer the question! Day of the Dead Festival was an unexpected treat. Good food. Good music. A band from Austin, TX and beautiful altars set up to commemorate the dead lost loved ones in true fashion of the holiday. Fires burning in chimineas, colorful lights, friendly people, murals, activities, face painting, beers to drink, food trucks serving. If I didn't know better I would have thought I was in Austin! Weird! The Dia de los Muertos altars are all beautiful too. Each person who passed away represented a universe contained within the beings that they were.. the altars had items that they had enjoyed in life, photos, paintings, letters, favorite coffee cups from which they drank only to mention a few. The vigillette candles are glowing and lighting up the way that was each life which was lost. I just popped into town and did not have the chance to set up an altar, but I did light my own candle and set it in a special place to commemorate those who I have lost. The red glowing sparks from the open bonfires there went into the night sky and burned out into infinity much like the lives that were being commemorated. So long momma. You are remembered and loved. A candle here burns for you this night as well. Thank you for being such a wonderful mother. I miss you now and everyday of my life.. I will think of you. Maybe now from where you are you see things with new eyes and vision and I hope you understand me more now than ever and that it gives you peace. I am well. Your grandson is well. I hope you see us now whenever you want and the distance no longer confines you. I love you now and always.

We had an appointment, they said his LIVER was not looking good they wanted Jacobi to come to the Hospital , stay one night to get a change in his TPN, milk, he would need to stay overnight to see if he would have a reaction. We went we stayed overnight . They never said his KIDNEYS were bad. We stayed overnight , the nurses on 9th floor read his charts which were wrong for some reason, gave him double the amount of medication 3 different times, we went home ,I didn't know til he was sleeping for hours. I went back to the ER the same night, the ER sent us home, every should be good. I talked to Linda for the whole week. That Saturday I took Jacobi back to Children's, and he was dying. He was put on Dialysis, never had Kidney issues, he was in so so much pain at the hospital for 2 months, they sent him home with a blood clot the size of a grape fruit and didn't tell me, I found that out when he went to UAB. He stayed there in ICU a month on a ventilator. Then from there he went to Palliative Care, to pass in peace. I begged them to let me bring Cobi home, we did he died in my arms on Nov- 3rd 2019. My son was happy , fine when we went for the over night stay and died in my arms months later. They never told me that he was dying, they never told me he had bad kidneys, He's been in their care for over 10 years, why not tell me he's dying, why not tell me his Kidneys are bad?why did he needed stay? What was the effect of the new TPN, what was the effect to the drug overdose? What was the effect of the 300 mg of new meds y'all gave him? What was the affect of the dye y'all put in his body the morning of his stay for a scan?How do a child go to an appointment, not sick in the last year? Been thru so many surgeries and came out Blessed, die after he's Overdosed, on his own meds? Oh why was this amount even in his chart? Why didn't the pharmacy and nurse see it's was a very high dose? The end result is my son is Gone and they say he was going to die anyway??? We all are going to die, but you didn't have to rush it he was a child, he is my child, my son and he's gone. They know when Jacobi came to the First appointment he was fine, the next appointment he was fine the 3rd ER VISIT HE WAS PUT IN ICU, and all they say is he's health was deteriorating, could you share that with his Mother, months ago?No they did not. They are smiling in your child's face acting like they care but they are just numbers to these Dr,'s. I live with, I never should have took him, but as a Mother, I had to do what was supposed to be best but what I thought would help him, took my Child from me, and my life will never be the same. I was supposed to protect him from the Dr.'s that was supposed to help him. I live with that, but not my Son. Children's Hospital, Birmingham Al.

They're so friendly and made all of the pets feel comfortable and happy, even though they were getting their vaccines. Their mobile office is nice and has everything needed for a routine visit. The fact that they will come to my home is the best part. It's always a hassle trying to set my car up for a ride to the vet, and then the cleanup after is the worst. I always have at least a couple of dog hairs leftover in the carpet that just won't go into the vaccum. The way I found them was from a recommendation when I was looking for a mobile vet for my parents huge great pyranees mix that refuses to get into a car, and is much too heavy to pick up. They are such a blessing. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Trussville Animal Hospital

My dog, Nina, has been a patient of Trussville Animal Hospital since February of 2025…read more A little background on the patient Trussville Animal Hospital (TAH) has been treating. Nina is considered a giant breed & is also considered a senior dog. She weighs about 132 lbs. Nina's first veterinarian at TAH was Dr. Kelly Bauuman. She was excellent. Dr. Bauuman retired this May (2026). She did a phenomenal job of treating and caring for Nina. Knowing that Dr. Bauuman was retiring soon, Nina switched to Dr. Zach Toves so that he could monitor her symptoms past Dr. Bauuman's projected retirement date at the time. Dr. Zach Toves joined Trussville Animal Hospital as a veterinarian in January of 2026. My senior, Great Dane, Nina, has been seeing Dr. Toves since his first week at TAH. Dr. Toves formed a treatment plan for Nina's extensive arthritis (back, hind legs, and hips). The treatment plan is a relatively new approach to treating arthritis. Some of the things I appreciate about Nina's care from Dr. Toves are how he discussed different treatment options and made sure I understood any risks or potential outcomes, and how he addressed difficult topics with an empathetic spirit and with what was genuinely best for Nina, my dog. Dr. Toves is always putting the patient first. Dr. Toves has given me more time with my dog, whom I cherish, and has given Nina a lot more time to enjoy life. Nina's arthritis symptoms were debilitating. Under Dr. Zach Toves' care, Nina's symptoms are minimal now. She is able to play and run as she did prior to arthritis. She is aging with grace & I am thoroughly ecstatic about the results of this relatively new treatment for arthritis.
