Lucile Packard Childrens Hospital

I am reviewing this center for PIRC - parent information and referral center. This is the center where I called when I got questions to the nurses or doctors. Once I called them for my baby's rash and the nurse on the other line recommended me to use lotrimin and stop using the wipes. So, I did that and it worked. Great nurses! The service is free.

My 12 year old son had a torn cartilage. Dr Rinsky in orthopedics did not diagnose this and thought it was a ligament problem. Did not even recommend an MRI and let it be for the whole summer. His swelling got worse and we saw Dr Gamble who recommended surgery. They did not give me an appointment till late night (for the next day surgery). The recovery room is horribly crowded and after surgery there is absolutely no proper follow up. They ask you to find your own physiotherapist with which we had no luck.
