BC Children's Hospital

Xray and blood test was done realy fast during the day hours at Children's hospital.

I've always been very impressed with Children's Hospital and have always had the most professional care from conscientious, patient, and responsible doctors and nurses. But today, I was really disappointed when my daughter fell face down on her chin and land on her neck after a one and half front tuck .The coach immediately told me to take my daughter to the children's hospital. Because the position of the fall was very bad. We arrived at Children's Hospital at 6:30 and my sister could walk but felt pain from her upper back to her neck to her head.a littabout her condition and then we sat down and waited. The boys who came in at the same time or even three hours ago and fell without trauma were all assigned to rooms. My daughter was still sitting there, the only child who hadn't moved in the entire three and a half hours of the evening. She had neck pain and upper back pain, so I told the nurse, who gave her a collar. Then the wait continued. I went back to say my daughter had neck pain , Sitting for more than three hours made her more sore. Everyone went in but my daughter was still sitting there. The nurse said this is an emergency room and everyone comes in in a hurry. I totally agree, I have brought my kids or myself to the ER not only once or twice and I understand that the triage nurse will arrange for the patient to be treated according to their condition. But with a neck and back injury, there was room to arrange to lie flat, but nothing at all was done for three hours. This is completely unacceptable. After I told the nurse for the second time that my daughter's neck was hurting even more, she said if you feel pain there is a bed over there you can lie down if you want. That bed was always empty, but must the same thing be said three times before the child can lie flat? My daughter told the nurse the pain gets worse, but nurse just told her that you are fine. Even other nurse asked, she still said my daughter is fine and did nothing.

This rating is for Dr. Myanji and not the entire hospital.Dr. Firoz Miyanji is the WORST. I was a patient of his for over 10 years for scoliosis (had yearly checkups). He had pressured me to get surgery ever since my curve had gotten to about 40-50ish degrees. Told me it was too late to get a back brace and that I had no other options other than surgery despite my concerns. Always late for appointments and I usually had to wait over an hour every time and miss my classes.12 years later and I am still alive despite not getting spinal fusion surgery.I understand if a surgeons job is to offer surgery as an option. But if scoliosis is not life threatening, and the patient is not comfortable with this option, there is no reason to pressure a KID to do it. I wasn’t even old enough to do my own research and yet he was pressuring me to do a life changing invasive surgery. He was always condescending and rude to both my mom and I. Just because you’re a doctor doesn’t mean you can be rude and disrespectful.He once said “I’m on salary. I’m not waiting for your surgery to get paid”.I had a phone appointment with him during covid, it lasted 5 min and he hung up on me.His receptionist Valerie is also incredibly rude. When you work at a hospital where patients are already feeling vulnerable and maybe even sad, the least you can do is be kind.Through other treatment options my scoliosis curve actually got better but he stuck to the only opinion he had and told me that it only got worse.

I am extremely grateful for the exceptional service provided by the wonderful doctors, nurses, and volunteers at BC Children's Hospital. They went above and beyond to help my son remove a corn from his nose, making his stay at the hospital warm and memorable. I must especially mention Dr. Sarah Fetcher from the ER, who took the time to establish a connection with my 3-year-old son, Sora. She spent time greeting, chatting and colouring with him, which helped him build trust and follow her instructions eagerly. Dr. Sarah, you are truly outstanding! Thank you for your kindness, care, and compassion towards my son and our family. We are forever grateful to you and the entire team. Take care!

Very good staff: the doctors , the technicians, the nurses, the assistants, the volunteers, the housekeeping staff,…, everyone was very professional and kind. My daughter was there for a surgery, and everyone was amazing with her. Medical care, mental and emotional support are taken very seriously and really well done.

Thank you all the staff, nurse and doctor. Everyone is very helpful.My son did his CI surgery in Bc children. Thanks all the doctors and nurses. They are wonderful.For emergency centre, yes, always a long wait for kids fever or coughing. However, if some urgent illness happened, they will take measures right away.During our overnight stay, there are some volunteers come and ask how does the kid feel and offer some toys for the kids to kill time.Thank you!!! And worth 5stars.

Really friendly, all parents will be so worried their kid in the same time all the stuff are doing professional job. For the parking you have to pay for it, the emergency parking is only 4 hours so have to work out your time.

BC Children’s Hospital is the most prestigious Children Hospital located in the beautiful City of Vancouver in British Columbia! It was initially established for crippled children by B.C. Women’s Institute in 1923 almost 100 years ago and in 1928, the first patient was admitted! Since then with over 800 millions invested, it has been developing, renovating, and expanding and now become one of the famously specialized children hospitals in Canada! The facility was built with sustainable design features include orientation toward solar exposure, maximization of natural ventilation and natural daylight, concourse ventilation, insulated north walls, reduction in electrical power consumption through daylighting, task lighting, and light and occupancy sensors. Walking into and through this hospital, you don’t feel it is a hospital! Instead it is more liked a colourful children play zone! Fabulously amazing experience! The physicians, nurses, technicians, staff, and volunteers.. everyone is so nice and friendly! As a parent, we are so grateful and thankful to have such wonderful children medical facility!

We are incredibly appreciative of BC Children's and the superb care they gave to our daughter. We were given incredibly thorough, considerate, and compassionate attention. After being severely affected by RSV, our daughter required breathing assistance and an IV.The doctors and nurses are working nonstop to provide treatment for our children during this particularly challenging cold and flu season. We are so grateful to have access to such a magnificent and well-run institution. The team worked hard to make our daughter smile, feel heard, and protected during what might have been a very terrible event for her.
