My daughter lived on the third floor (pediatric unit) for many years. The staff is excellent and caring. They love the kids like their own. The ADON (Lori) is incredible. She knows every patient in the unit. She knows the families and truly wants the best for their children. The nurses and aides work tirelessly to provide care to kids that couldn't survive without them. Margo and Esther (recreational therapists) work hard to bring stimulation and joy to each patient. They know every child by name and bring smiles to all. Having your child have to be away from you and home is incredibly hard. All these individuals make it a little easier for the patients and families.

This place is a death trap. My family member almost died here. Thank God we found out in time to transfer them somewhere else. A blatantly obvious missed infection, which I was able to diagnose and I don't have any medical knowledge. At my request was sent to the ER and they tried to argue with me about it. The hospital said had they taken another day to come in they would not have made it. Now they have fully recovered and are back home and happy. All because we choose to go somewhere else after that happened. I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy!!

Would not give any stars for them! They stopped treatment on my Dad because my dad's insurance stopped and it put him in the hospital he definitely was not ready to leave and it was on Fathers day they did NOT call me to let me know he went to the hospital when I'm the only one on the call list! He didn't make it! A couple of nurses there were terrible they were just going to put a lidocaine patch on a part of his back that they can see and not put it where it my dad hurting! The Facility smelled terrible and it didn't feel clean! South Davis was terrible I wish I had never had him go here communication was bad, they lied, nursing him back to health which they never did was bad I'm disappointed in this place cause it's not about the patients it's about money! They say they have good reviews through the hospital and not the google reviews! My dad had money and when they cleaned the room up while he was at the hospital whoever cleaned it stole the money!

My sister has been at South Davis Community Hospital for a long while now. They are great to address any concerns we have and take care of any problems that arise quickly. My sister enjoys the many activities that the recreation therapists plan ( They are the best). She enjoys being with the other residences and staff. Many members of the staff have become like family to my sister and my family. Many of the nurses and aids make time to talk with her and not just rush through their tasks. They really care to spend a little more time with her. We are so thankful for the staff and SDCH and all they care and help they give to my sister.

The South Davis Childcare Center has been an incredible gem for our small community in Bountiful. These women and have raised and taught the next generation! I had four children that graduated from their infant room to their preschool program and will be forever in the debt of these wonderful teachers who provided priceless love and care for my family. Thank you 🩷
