there's a real sense of closeness. seeing the same doctors, getting to know them, it gives a child a true sense of security and trust. u know who ur going to see each time. ↑

Shriner's is a god send. They are wonderful,& the work they do is top of the line. Some of Shriner's hospitals have different capabilities. If that one can't do what's needed, ask them which hospital can. They are the greatest. I always donate to them. I just love them, so much for all they do. Good luck with your little one. ↑
