    When you arrive they attend kindly, when you need someone to translate for you they also help you, the good thing there are also people who speak in Spanish to be able to communicate well, gratefully also with medical personnel, and nurses with some beautiful people, and well it seemed to me very well. I give it to them for a lot for all the care, both my son and me, and thank you very much.

    There were some communication issues that should be fixed. we where not notified when our son was out of surgery and he woke up alone and confused and crying. There were some issues with pain management. There was issues with food restrictions, There where food allergies listed that our son did not have and made feeding him difficult, I usually had to leave the hospital to get him food to eat. We were told several times the restrictions were being removed, but they never were.

    The front staff at check in and even at the check out desk is very dismissive and act as if the patient/parent is bothering them, the tone they speak to the patients is not okay, they are not patient or empathetic. They have nobody upfront who speaks Spanish, not for myself but I witnessed a family before me that didn't speak English well and it was not handled well by the staff.
