  Quite a new and clean facility. The worst hospital in the entire Ontario. Do not go there. My high school friend is a RN at the hospital. My dad and sister are medical doctors and my mom is a nurse practitioner. The doctors are afraid of the nurses there. The nurses don't follow the doctors' written instructions. The nurses in the ICU are the best at the hospital but even they have a lot of malpractice if you happen to be in the ICU for more than 2 weeks (my dad was there for 5 weeks). They love to sit around the nursing station and gossip instead of looking after patients. During the 5 weeks my dad was there, one patient died every day for 5 weeks! Lots of family members yelling at the nurses for the crappy job they do. And once you move out of ICU, the nurses (most not all) are even worse!

  The nurses are mostly excellent, and the real MVP's of the whole operation. However we can't ever leave family members alone when they're here because things are terribly disorganized, they miss patient meals and medications, (this literally just happened 10 minutes ago), there seems to be zero communication between different members of staff and departments. One family member just waited exactly 24 hours in emergency before finally getting admitted and getting to a bed. My own experience with a nurse at the emergency registration 3 weeks ago was also terrible. In immense pain with a sprained ankle and was in a wheel chair (the ones you can't move yourself) and she told me to "go have a seat" at the chairs 15 feet away and walked away, leaving me on my own to Hop to the bloody chairs....and last summer we dealt with the most rude and uncouth orthopedic surgeon. I was at a loss for words and in disbelief that someone in the health industry speaks to people the way this man does. He also botched the surgery, causing us to consider legal action. These are just a few of the many incidences that stand out. You honestly can't make this stuff up. Despite the wonderful nurses, everything else is a disaster. Barring any emergencies where I wouldn't have the choice, I will never go to this hospital again. Id rather drive 40 minutes to St. Joseph's.

  Generally speaking I don’t find doctors doing much anymore.

  This hospital is in need of being audited on the quality and care from Emergency room patients to the cleanliness and mechanics of broken down facilities.

  It is sad that we live in a country where children and elderly have to sit in a room together for 6+ hours waiting for “help” while being bounced from one triage to another.

  The ER doctor in my opinion was the least knowledgeable person.

  He diagnosed me wrong and he said the surgeon will call you in 24 hours as you have to go to operation room ASAP.
