Children's Specialized Hospital Long Term Care Center – Mountainside — Local services in Mountainside

I am very certain the owner of CSP is not sorry & I surmise the owner merely cares about a profit margin not my child or your child/children. Owner, the following is what I observed & experienced happening at your hospital & I will post this review for everyone who cares to read on. AVOID DR ELLIOTT GROSSMAN & HIS STAFF AT CSH! Dr Grossman would not admit/properly diagnose that my son has Tourette's Syndrome even though he displayed symptoms of eye blinking, throat clearing, hooting, facial grimacing etc. THATS RIGHT-DR GROSSMAN FAILED TO DIAGNOSE my son with Tourette's Syndrome AFTER THREE APOINTMENTS OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR! He stupidly diagnosed my son with a 'tic disorder' even though my son experienced/is still experiencing physical/phonetic/vocal simple & complex tics for well over one year. Physical/phonetic/vocal simple & complex tics continuously for well over one year without abatement =Tourette's Syndrome. Shame on/to you Dr Grossman, your staff of Dr Berkowitz, Cheryl & Janet who cater to your incorrect diagnosis. Dr Elliott Grossman is a waste of time & space so save your time, money & especially the health of your child..., please take your precious bundle of DNA to a neurologist other than than Dr Grossman. Thank you very little to the owner & Drs of CSH..... the harm you are doing to my son will come back to each of you threefold. Sincerely, Julian's mother.

P.S. FYI, moreover, parents, take heed...., my son 9 year old son who adores most everyone, could not stand Dr Grossman! In his quiet yet straightforward manner, he let me know he was not fond of Dr Gross man.

IN RESPONSE to the owners response.., Dr Grossman may have experience yet he failed to correctly diagnose & help my son. Why? I suspect he knew my son had/has it yet he was overly preoccupied with continuing (in his very socially awkward & condescending manner) to milk the insurance company/waste our time by suggesting yet another follow up appointment = more profit for your hospital. TWO WEEKS AFTER HIS THIRD & FINAL APPOINTMENT AT CSP I thank God my son was HELPED & PROPERLY DIAGNOSED with Tourette Syndrome within 15 minutes of his appointment BY THE EXCEPTIONAL DR TREVOR DESOUZA WHO HAS OFFICES IN SPRINGFIELD & MORRISSTOWN NJ....

I had an appointment today with my son at 3pm at the Clifton office. He was scheduled for evaluation for ADD. I arrived at the facility at 3:01pm. Since prior emails stated I had to confirm and wait in my car due to coronavirus protocol, I proceeded to submit the paperwork online. I arrived upstairs to a locked door at 3:07pm. I patiently waited a few minutes for someone to come open to door to tell me that the appt had this been cancelled. She began to explain that I was “late” and therefor there wasn’t enough time for the evaluation. I explained that I had waited 6 months for this appointment, driven 45 minutes in traffic and took a half day of work off, and sat in my car submitting the peppercorn the required for me to even being allowed in. She then apologized and said she would be in contact with me. Never have I ever experienced a situation where in the health care world that someone could not accommodate another 10 minutes over there shift time when care of a patient was needed. Since I unfortunately am in the mercy of this service, I can’t turn around and just find another health care replacement and start all over. I truly feel that in times like these, where compassion and understanding is most vital, this office represented NONE. I will therefore be spending time to write of such a terrible experience instead of spending time with my children because I believe that NO ONE should be treated the way I was treated today. Nowhere in the numerous emails was it stated that if I were 6 minutes past my appt time that it would be.l cancelled. No where was it stated that I could “fill out” the admissions paperwork upstairs since it clearly stated that I could not proceed into the building until it was done. Very disappointed, very distraught, and just extremely saddened that such a reputable company does not stand behind its own...

Place is wonderful all from the top of pediatric neurologist down to the kitchen. Mary VanHorn from day one has fought to get my son the services he needed when the school denied him services. Also to his ped. Adam Aronsky who when my son was admitted into Hackensack and told he had a staph or Mrsa and was forced to take clyndomycin by mouth which being that he has issues with taking any kind of medicine he told us to come in and he will evaluate him and see if he needed the medication we could talk about other administration of how the medicine is given. Also emailed back and forth which I’m sorry but that someone who really cares about there job and the welfare of their children they take care of everyday. I just love the in-depth care my son receives, the respect and love how I feel while walking through those doors. It’s a 4 and half hour trip total to get there and it’s worth the struggle and time. Therapy is excellent Larissa always helped us find ways and strategies to get jordanni to be able to sit and do his school work. And made it less of a headache and a chore. We were able to evaluate My sons strengths and make decisions based on what he can do and help him along the way giving him the confidence to exceed his potential.Also when I happened to be short and left my money at home and my son was crying for food the cafeteria gave him a tray of food. They told me to give whatever change I had and that would be all. This place is amaZing and for those that wrote a bad review I’m sorry you feel that way about this place. But if it wasn’t for children’s my son would probably still be that boy lost in his own universe unable to communicate or express his needs. Thank you. I’m...
