My 11-year-old son was recently diagnosed with chronic appendicitis. We were advised to take him to the Mt Hope Pediatric Hospital. Within one hour of his arrival there he was in surgery, after which he spent one week on the pediatric post-surgical ward. After he was discharged we had to make several visits to change dressings and attend clinics.I want to offer my heartfelt gratitude to Dr Ade and to all the other staff we encountered, including nurses, guards, cleaners, doctors and clerks.
Everyone was professional, competent and kind. You all made what could have been a dreadful time into just another adventure for my son to recount to his friends. For everyone who says our healthcare system is in shambles, I must disagree. There is a group of healthcare professionals who do an outstanding job and you can find them at the Mt Hope Pediatric Hospital.
