Hi, we used to go to chop ( about 7 yrs ) We just moved to AIDUPONT and the difference is unbelievable. We now love our visits and we do not spend hours at the hospital. chop is a good clinic but over the years they have just gotten so big.They also seem to be stuck in the same place and if they do not believe in the treatment then you do not try it. Dupont is much more into doing what works for the child even if it is waaay different. The other good thing is my son does not have to wear the mask at clinic visits ( so great and does not make them stand out like sore thumbs) They have seperate times and facilities for cepacia.
I do not miss the drive there and with the south street bridge closing soon it will be worse. The other thing is parking at dupont is free.
hope it helps but the best thing is to call and see if you can meet the different teams at the clinics.We did this before moving to Dupont and you geet a feel as soon as you meet the doc so you know deep down if the clinic will work for you and your family. We all have different needs from a clinic and it is like picking a primary doc you know if you will feel comfortable with them.
