About Your Visit to The Children’s Hospital

We understand. Going to the doctor's office or hospital can be an unsettling time for children and their family. Whether it’s trying to find the doctor’s office, knowing where to park, or making sure that you have all of your child's necessary medical records - keeping track of it all can be a challenge. However, we think that a little information in before your visit can go a long way to making it easier on everyone.

This section of our site will help you know what to expect when you come to Children’s for your appointment. And, we’ve provided detailed information depending on the type of visit you have planned, including a doctor appointment or clinic visit with one of our pediatric specialists, an overnight stay or surgery.

You’re in the best of hands.

You can be assured you will receive excellent care for your child at The Children’s Hospital. Our dedication to children and their families is unmatched. We will answer your questions in a way that both you and your child will understand. Our world-class physicians and staff provide the most advanced care. And we deliver outstanding outcomes.
