| - Heads up, I'm a med student and came here for a month to do my Pediatrics rotation. I will clarify that I am not interested in Pediatrics and will not be seeking employment by PCH, so do not worry, there are no beneficial rewards that I can gain from this review!
First off, this place gets busy. It is a top 10 US pediatric hospital in the volume of children they see per year. Kids from all over Arizona are flown in if they are in serious enough condition. Many of the kids here are amazingly sick. So many of them had rare diseases/conditions that I had only read about in my textbooks. The thing is that PCH commonly sees the uncommon so they are well versed in those conditions and have no problems getting consultations and working as a multi-disciplinary team to get the best treatment results. I have been to numerous hospitals, and the residents/attending physicians are some of the most intelligent, most hard working doctors around. Common pediatric illnesses, emergencies, and the rare can all be taken of at this hospital.They have above average staff and resources to help get answers sooner rather than later.
The rooms are spacious - these rooms used to have 2 beds in one room, but they converted it to where there is only one patient per room now. So if you want to stay with your kid throughout the night, you will have your privacy and won't be cramped for space. Also, the amount of things to do in this hospital are amazing. There seems to be an art or teen game center on every floor. So many NFL/NBA/NHL athletes come through the PCH doors to greet the kids that it's really a refreshing sight to see professional athletes being so altruistic. Also, many volunteers will bring their specially trained dogs to visit each child's room (if they want)! PCH makes you feel as comfortable as possible.
I ate here for a month and I don't think I ate the same thing twice. This hospital has more food options that a mall food court....and the quality of food is amazing. It's not just "hospital food." It's the next level. They have a juice bar in the mornings where you can get freshly squeezed juice. There is a crepe bar, an omelet bar, pasta bar, salad bar, grill, asian grill bar, etc....can't list them all!
One of the most fulfilling rotations I've had during medical school, and hands down a wonderful pediatric hospital. If I had kids, I wold bring them here as my first choice.
