All the staff was amazing. Seriously. The doctor was patient with my 15 year old that was very fearful. The nurse helped answer questions during the procedure for him. The lady that came in to get consent papers signed was pivotal in helping my son be brave.

The RN who saw [...], Dr Mokdad, and the scheduler who scheduled [...] surgery were all so sweet
September 21, 2024
Dr. Mokdad, [...], and my nurse practitioner, [...]. They were so kind and compassionate over my situation. They all answered the questions we had in ways we would understand. Sometimes you can tell people are doctors just for the money, but these three showed that they are there because they want to help. I've encountered many rude nurses and doctors at other hospitals, but everyone at Cook Children's has been amazing.

Very good attention, from the parking lot they directed us haha where we should go, and I loved the attitude of everyone, especially who speak Spanish, since that was one of our fears, not asking to communicate well. Thank you all and congratulations. God bless you.
