### 5/5 — Huge help for parents

*2018-06-26, version 1.9*

This app is fantastic. We use it most frequently for the med doseage charts, and for the the suggestions for treatment and when to be seen for common illnesses. Thanks for making such a great app!

### 5/5 — Reliable resource

*2018-01-13, version 1.8*

This is such a great app. It gives you helpful info on home remedies and also when to call or go into the doctor. It’s so helpful to have!!

### 5/5 — Excellent TRUSTABLE Resource

*2017-12-02, version 1.8*

Created by Doctors and medical staff, this has literally every question, answer, explanation, directions and more any child caregiver could need!! Easy to consult guide with a wealth of information including symptom descriptions of when you should or should not call 911 or doctor or go to the ED, and how to try to resolve with recommendations from pediatricians. So far this hasn’t let me down!! First time mom here so I am always losing my mind over the tiniest thing. This app has calmed me down numerous times lol

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2015-09-21, version 1.7*

This app has come in handy a number of times.  I couldn't recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — Every Mom Needs This App!

*2014-10-08, version 1.6*

Great website for treating a sick child at home (within reason of course) and an even better app. Wish I would've had this years ago.

### 5/5 — Best app!

*2013-12-14, version 1.5*

I use the all the time for my kids (9yrs and 3yrs)! Makes troubleshooting health concerns simple and I love the weight dose tables for medications!

### 5/5 — Must Have App!

*2013-01-11, version 1.4*

This app is amazing! I had my teenage son download it on his phone for the first aid instructions, medication list, and his physician's info in case of an emergency. Every parent should have this app on their phone. The only thing I would change is have the medication allergies show up the same way as the medication list. After listing an allergy, it simply says "list or edit". I wish it listed the allergy on screen as prominently as the med list. This app reminds us how glad we are to have chosen OHSU for our health care.

### 5/5 — This App is amazing!

*2012-09-11, version 1.4*

This is just wonderful for a first time mom! I have a 2yr old and it will be nice to not worry that I'm over reacting or being too protective when I call the doctor!

### 4/5 — Worry Not

*2012-08-21, version 1.4*

Great App helps you find good info fast and answers your questions Easy to use

### 5/5 — Amazing resource for parents

*2012-05-23, version 1.3*

What an amazing idea! This app has a textbook worth of information for parents and it is written in a simple language we can all understand. This is like an owner's manual for parents.  Ideas like this are what make Doernbecher the best choice for children in our state. I would recommend this app to anyone with children regardless of if they live in the Portland area or not. It will save you many phone calls to your doc or visits to the emergency room!
