I was hospitalized here at CHOC for 5 days. My stay at the ICU was amazing, all my nurses were very nice and came in every 5 minutes to check on me because I was in a lot of pain. After a day or two into the ICU i was put into the neuroscience unit. My stay there was good aswell, the room was very nice and looked like it had just been remodeled. The environment here is so cozy and nurses here are amazing. I love all the nurses I had.

My son and I had an exceptional experience at Choc Hospital, and I want to take a moment to commend the outstanding staff who made his stay so comfortable and reassuring. Caitlyn, our main RN, provided superb nursing care, demonstrating genuine compassion, professionalism, and attentiveness that truly made a positive impact on my son's recovery. Alondra, the assistant nurse who is soon to be an RN, was incredibly diligent in keeping the room spotless, creating a clean, welcoming, and comfortable environment. Her friendly demeanor made us feel at ease. Guadalupe, another dedicated assistant nurse, was consistently attentive and kind, making sure we had everything we needed. Brad, our daytime RN, and Crystal, the charge RN, were both highly knowledgeable, caring, and responsive, ensuring we always felt well cared for. Shumi, the RN, was truly exceptional—her expertise, compassion, and calm approach were truly inspiring. Overall, the staff at Choc Hospital exemplify excellence in patient care, and we are deeply grateful for their dedication, kindness, and professionalism

The Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) - now Rady Children’s Health - beats out Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) IMO. I’ve been to both hospitals as a visitor but I was most impressed with my recent visit to CHOC.
They have a large campus and many buildings. Checking in as a visitor was easy: Simply provide your driver’s license and they will print out a badge for you to wear.
The hospital was clean and brightly lit. Lots of fun colors and they even have themed days for the patients (e.g., Star Wars Day, Stitch Day, etc.). The room amenities were plenty. But what always stands out with children’s hospitals are the caring and amazing staff. They go above and beyond to make sure the patient is comfortable.
It’s easy to put trust into CHOC’s care because I’ve seen how they have treated their patients. Despite the circumstances, this is a great place to take children to when needing urgent or emergency care.

This hospital is terrible. Don’t be fooled by the looks of it. I took my son to the ER on February 23rd for 103 fever than would not come down, body pain, specifically pain on his right side lung, nausea, dizziness, shivering and sore throat. Dr. Mehta, only ordered zofran, Covid test, and flu test. Disregarding the pain in the right side of his lung. No blood work, not CHEST xray just charged for the copay and sent us home with Tylenol, Motrin and zofran. My son continued to feel bad, developed a really bad cough on February 24th and on February 25th, he couldn’t lay down in bed because his pain was much worse. Took him to an urgent care that night where a doctor actually listened to my concerns and took a chest xray only to find pneumonia on the right lower lobe. This developed into a right pleural effusion and as of March 3rd, my son is hospitalized somewhere else with strong iv antibiotics. CHOC , specifically Dr. Mehta, you could have done a simple chest xray. CHOC, you let a child with pneumonia walk away and I will not return to this place. Parents please beware.

The surgery was done perfectly, and my son’s recovery has been smooth thanks to Dr. Pfaff’s skill and care. We are truly grateful for his dedication and expertise.
I would also like to thank the entire operating room team for their professionalism, kindness, and support. Everyone made us feel comfortable and well cared for.
