    Dr Courtney was absolutely amazing. She explained everything to us in a way that we could understand. She spent a lot of time asking questions and going over lab work with us. I had been so worried about everything that was going on for a month or more and she lifted that weight right off of my shoulders, literally. I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr than her!

    Well, it took 3 sticks to get an IV in my son. Eventually, the ultrasound machine was brought in. That almost took 45 minutes. Getting his infusion medication in our room and hooked up almost took an hour and a half. The nurse had to check on it several times. Seems like once you arrive for your appointment, the pharmacy should begin working on that right away to avoid any delays. Thank you!

    Bethany was absolutely wonderful, I cannot even express how wonderful my experience was. I was full of nerves going in and she explained everything so thoroughly and took her time to make sure I could ask all the questions I needed to! And when she walked in she had read my child?s chart and was prepared! It was top tier service that I?ve never had! Even the tech was so patient and lovely! She knew just what she was doing thank you Dayton childrens and your incredibly talented staff!

    Dr. Courtney was an absolute delight. She is clearly so intelligent and humble. She did an awesome job of explaining things in a way I could understand without being demeaning. She answers any questions I had prior to walking in without even having to ask them, it was incredible. It was very reassuring to hear how they came to their diagnoses and how they can assure me it was nothing bigger. She has such a wonderful personality and I’m honored to bring my son in to be treated by her.
