Sacred Heart Children's Hospital

Dr Thorne at Spokane Sacred Heart Children's Hospital saved my son's life. We had gone to our local hospital 4 times and were sent home each time stating no concern found. We were then turned to Spokane, and they almost immediately found the issue. Dr Thorne performed the necessary corrective surgery and my child is doing so much better. All staff I encountered were helpful and made being so far from home much easier. Thank you to everyone that worked with us, and a special thank you to Dr Thorne.

This hospital used to be great but ever since 2025 hit this hospital is horrible! My daughter is an extremely complex baby, and she never gets admitted when she should be admitted to the PICU when she is sick/ill. We went to the children's ER yesterday September 20 and they told us that she had Covid and pneumonia and they sent her home when they should've kept her because she has a trach and vent depended baby. But instead, they shoved us away and gave her a measly little medication. Obviously, she is still sick and we just found out two days later that she has four severe trach infection infections along with Covid and pneumonia. my daughter is not like every other child out there who gets sick. My daughter has had a trach event, a V patient, and a feeding tube her whole life. She is extremely fragile, and that is just wrong of a Children's Hospital that everyone speaks so highly of to send her home, I thought I could trust them. I thought they would do the right thing, but obviously they don't care.

We received EXCEPTIONAL care here for our daughter at the ED. Ian was the charge nurse on shift and was phenomenal in all the ways, coordinating with me over the phone and getting us in immediately as we rolled up from out of town. I cannot stress how crucial he was in our experience at this hospital. Dr. Tarango, our nurses, our x-ray staff and splinting tech were all so vital to making this as stress free and seamless as possible for a screaming 2 year old with a broken ankle. Dr. Tarango assured us our daughter in fact didn't need surgery but rather casting and conservative treatment. She was kind, professional and so patient as they all were through the screaming My husband & I are so eternally grateful to this group for their immediate assistance.

The staff here just treated my son for sudden onset diabetes. Everyone was so caring and compassionate. He was treated so well in the PICU and the regular children's hospital. The diabetes clinic staff was over the top caring, making sure we understood everything along the way. Can't thank all of the nurses, doctors and supporting staff that make this place tick. Someday they will know the relief they brought to families like mine and enjoy a very special place in God's kingdom.

Staff was great with my sick little guy. Dr was amazing and ordered every test to make sure . He was fully okay. Definitely recommend this hospital
