I'm a Double Amputee Paralympian With Prosthetic Legs — Here's What It's Like to Travel the World

"When corrective measures for his congenital limb condition weren’t working in infancy, this pediatric hospital was the first to recommend amputation; following their guidance, his parents proceeded with bilateral leg amputations at 11 months, and within six months he was fitted with prosthetics and learning to walk like other children — a pivotal medical intervention that shaped his mobility and athletic future." - Hunter Woodhall and Rachel Chang Hunter Woodhall and Rachel Chang https://www.travelandleisure.com/author/rachel-chang Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines

I am a Zamora Roadrunner Shriner from Birmingham Alabama, this is not one of our normal hospitals but I got the opportunity to take this patient transport trip. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with open arms. Words can not describe how they treated our patient. The people who work for the Shriners hospital work selflessly to improve the lives of children everyday. And we got great advice of where to find the best cheese steaks.

We were blessed to meet an incredible doctor who has been caring for our son since birth Dr. Gollaberg's dedication to traveling to Springfield Shriners has made a profound impact on our son Arvin, who instantly connected with him. When our son was diagnosed with left-hand hemiplegia, Dr. Gollaberg shared inspiring stories of kids with the same condition, lifting our spirits. His recent procedure in Boston has brought tremendous progress for our son. I'm eternally grateful for his compassionate heart. My family will forever cherish the gift of meeting such an amazing doctor, whose passion for healing children is truly a blessing.

This hospital is MAGICAL: like Disney magical. I have never encountered a medical professional here who was not the absolute best in his or her field. The nurses are knowledgeable, patient, and kind. The occupational therapists are take the time to find innovative ways to keep my teenage son interested in therapy, and they listen to his concerns. I have never met doctors and nurse practitioners who are more compassionate than those who work at this facility. Together, they are giving my son with quadriplegia the ability to use his hands again. If you are considering travelling here for treatment, it is well-worth the trip. I am eternally grateful.

My son broke his arm twice on two separate occasions and both times we ended up at Shriners. Both times he was in and out in less than 1 1/2 hours without even an appointment. The staff is so sympathetic and caring to the children and take any fear away. Shriner's is a first class hospital and i would never have reservations taking my child here.

I can not express my feelings of gratitude to this hospital. They are truly amazing! My infant is finally getting the care and attention he needed. As a parent of an infant who had markers for cerebral palsy I am so glad I came here. They are getting to the bottom of my son’s medical problems. Other hospitals brushed off my infant even though it was obvious something was not right. The staff that works here really is so warm and genuinely care about its patients and the parents too. I have had a very powerful experience here that will forever change me as a person. God bless this hospital for the work they do for sick children. Thank you Shriners for what you are doing for my son and me.

These commercials play at the heart of people to feel degraded if one does not donate !! I have !! The commercials that they play of from kids from many yrs ago and by now, they are grown ass adults !! Alex is not some little kids and Shriners plays on people's hearts !! It's a dam shame and they should be totally embarrassed in the way that they present their ventures !! GOOD LUCK TO THE PRESENT CHILDREN AND TO THE OTHERS, STOP DECEIVING PEOPLE AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES !!

Excellent hospital to treat children with special physical needs. Doesn't cost anything to parents, the Shriners transport the child with their guardian to and from the hospital, and feed them at no cost.

Shriners hospital might do great things for children but the constantly showing commercials asking you to donate money is ridiculous commercials are expensive they probably spend more on commercials than they do the children. And let's not forget the children get paid Alex is now worth millions because of this how about making sure that 100 percent of the donations go to the children not commercials or actors. Sorry but I had to get this out.

Shriners Hospital is a wonderful. It's a hospital where doctors, nurses, staffs, officers, everyone cares. I have been coming here for a while. My kids have no special needs thank god, while I see others that do. But, this hospital is just not for that, is an Orthopedic clinic. When my youngest son broke one of his bone, I took him to others hospitals I did not like their respond or the way they rush him in. Now we have real good insurance that's what everyone wanted, not Shriners. They took the time to listen, care and be patient with you. The minute you walk through the door you get a smile even from the other patients. Which by the way I love to see a kid smile.

I send patients here for consultations and possible surgery with Dr Samdani and his team. They are compassionate, technically excellent, cutting edge in the options they offer, and most importantly able to create a strong rapport with teens.

For a hospital, the cafeteria food is surprisingly good. All made from scratch and reasonably priced too.

Absolutely magnificent job that these institution does. They have been treating our daughter for the past 7 years and without them our daughter would not be here with us. Dr. Amer Samdani is a God send and we trust him with our daughters life without any doubts. The staff starting from security, med techs, nurses and Dr's do such amazing work day in and day out with kids that there is no words to describe how thankful we are to them. God bless them all!
