6 Thoracic surgery clinics in Canada

Ari the MRI technologist is absolutely wonderful. I went in for my first and second MRIs in the same week and he made me feel super comfortable while being super friendly. It felt like I was with an old friend! The only downside was the wait time however I understand that’s how things go at hospitals. MG is lucky to have Ari!

Very busy hospital. What did I notice ...they are organized, staff you see in the hallways willing to point you in the right direction with a smile. You must wear a paper mask at all times (no cloth masks allowed). Imaging centre for x-rays was very busy, but names are called and the line was moving. Expect to wait 30 minutes. I liked the chairs that have plexiglass between them, such a great idea and made me feel very comfortable while I waited. They have Tim Hortons at the main coxwell entrance and a pharasave for prescriptions. Taxi stand just outside the main entrance waiting to take you home. Excellent Hospital and caring kind staff here. If you liked my pic of plexiglass glass chair give this review a like.

Thank you is really needed for their efforts and hard work!

Came in after my mother was brought in emergency by ambulance. Those guys A+ they knew what to do. Then this started. From 530pm and well it is 3am now and we are still waiting to hear from the doctor’s guess or expertise for what may have triggered my mom’s situation. Doctor paid us a visit at 130am to just ask questions and check her vitals. Mom was then given IV only at 145am even though she had already told the short hair cut with blonde dyed hair nurse that she had only ate yesterday in the morning. He didn’t catch that back at 630pm. We are still here and we just may have to move in bc there seems to be only one doctor working while 20 nurses mixed with hard working ones and then the ones who seem to have the time to sit almost the entire time we were here. I wish we had been given an opportunity to go elsewhere. It feels like the healthcare system here is absolutely the last resort.

Staff are very dismissive and don't bother explaining anything to patients. I came here to the ER and ended up waiting 7 hours to see a doctor. It took me over an hour just to get triaged. I understand things can get busy but for some reason this hospital does not staff for the volume of patients they see. I would avoid this hospital at all costs. It's honestly THAT bad

Wonderful hospital, with efficient, caring staff. Big shoutout to the neurosurgery unit. Fixed my husband’s sciatica. Pain free after many months. Dr. Jeff Wilson and his team did a fabulous job. Thank you!!

today (Feb 14, 5pm) was my first visit to this ER room and it was very much better than the Grand River's. The nurses all seemed to be in a better mood and the young ER doctor was quite understanding and kind. The wait time was less than half of that of Grand river. Things I thought that could be improved though were how the young worker at the entrance of the ER room was just sitting there and staring at people who came into the room and selectively offering guidance. She didn't greet nor guide people as they came in but offered help only if one seemed completely lost. I thought she needed to be more proactive. Also, I didn't like how we had to speak of our personal information (address, phone number and medical info) in front of all the other patients in the living room. Lastly the initial waiting area were quite loud and hectic with hospital personnel walking into and through the area. Some were talking casual things very loudly as if the waiting patients didn't exist. One worker came with a buggy with her baby without a uniform and just went in and out of the triage nurse area like it's her living room.. Beside these minor things the visit was excellent and I appreciate the people who made it the way it is. Will come again, thank you!

Amazing ED and medical imaging staff. Took my son to have his hand injury checked out today, and everything from arrival to triage, registration, physician assessment, and X-ray took less than an hour. Everyone was kind and pleasant. Results took a bit longer which is understandable, but with the cast application and the nurse going over discharge instructions, we were out of there in less than three hours total. Excellent care and experience.

I'm impressed with everyone who works at St. Mary. Looks like it's a very good workplace. From the security guards and intake to nurses and doctors, everyone is kind, polite, and professional. I received great care and am thankful to all staff. Great teams! Unfortunatelly, I had to go there several times lately. They do all tests quickly and answer to all questions in language I understand, as non-medical person. 5 out of 5 stars. Other hospitals should go there to observe and learn how it's done.

I would love to thank the whole staff who were there to help me, your service was more than amazing. Everyone was very kind and smiling 💕💕

Very bad place to work. They don't give opportunities to grow and learn. My friend got a job there and she just graduated from school. People judged her by saying she asked too much questions and that she was supposed to know everything as she just graduated. Very unfair for new employees. There's a lot of hypocrisy in the hospital and favoritisme.

U saved my Dad. Thank you kindly.

I have been going here since I was born. Now at 31 years old, I take my eldest daughter for her own related disabilities. I have very few if not no negative things to say about this hospital. Wonderful place, great memories, and new memories yet to create!

Amazing Hospital. I can never forget the selfless service of Dr Nathan, Nurse Kyra and Social Worker Carly as well as all the hardworking nurses, doctors and hospital workers we have met since last year. These amazing angels have been working tirelessly to care for my son who was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. When I think about these amazing people, I thank God for humanity. These people are selfless, hardworking, dedicated and always willing to help everyone they come across. I can't imagine anyone leaving a bad review for Sick Kids Hospital. This is the same hospital that revived my daughter, Faith when she was born lifeless several years ago. Please folks think twice before you leave bad reviews for Sick Kids hospital. You have to keep in mind that the system is bombarded due to high amount of cold related illness. Please do your best to appreciate them. Your appreciation both in cash and kindness will go a long way. Thank you Sick Kids and Staff for the wonderful work you are doing. We love you.

It was the first time I went to The hospital for sick children, which is known as the best children's hospital in the world. It really lives up to its reputation. The doctors are enthusiastic and professional, the detection methods are advanced, and the environment is comfortable and beautiful. I appreciate it! ! Always donate to it before and will donate more in the future.

We just spent a few days in the hospital with our little 3 year old son. Since the minute we were welcomed to the ER until the moment we stepped out we got nothing but an amazing treatment. Every single nurse, doctor, resident, student, cleaner, desk clerk, etc. Was helpful, caring, and dedicated. They made us feel cared for and understood. They treated my son which such love and patience. My son really enjoyed the meals. The teams in the ER and Unit 4 were beyond incredible. The communication and attention were awesome. It is just so wonderful to see how are son was in really good hands and we had nothing to worry about with these specialists. I truly believe they don't get enough credit . We are so grateful with all of them. And proud to have these amazing and prepared specialists in our province.

I am new to Canada and I went to Calgary Children Hospital with my kid to have MRI , I would rate the service after entering the hospital with 5 stars , The decoration is very touching and every corner has a story. The staff are friendly and everything was organized and we did not spent a lot of time till the service was provided. We end our visit with cup of coffee from good earth Coffeehouse which it was super super good. On the other hand, I will rate the services before we enter the hospital with Zero star .we cannot accept that in a country such as Canada it will take from 3 weeks or more to get an medical appointment !!! do not give any excuse you should solve this immediately. In addition to that I cannot think of a reason that make the parking not free in a hospital / emergency area!!! You should think of this gain and ask your self , if u r parents and bring your kid to emergency , parking will be the last think you want to think about … so if the hospital afraid from people misusing the free parking you can do a validation process from the info desk, once the car owner confirmed that he/she has appointment or admitted to emergency then the parking fees will be waived (you can give a time limitation ) …

I will give 5 stars for the service that they have done for my son. The doctor was good at doing a physical examination; very detailed, and no rush at all. He was able to find out what was wrong with my son. The triage and ER nurses were friendly and very accommodating; they even offered some free food while waiting for the doctor. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about the long waiting; it is not the doctor's or nurses' fault; it is the system. So thank you again for your service !!

Without a doubt, the BEST hospital in NYC! Even the food was good. I was there for three days, and everyone was very nice, accommodating, polite, efficient, caring and professional. Even after I was released, the doctors called me at home to check on me, or called me straight back if I left a message. Really first rate treatment!

The ER room is a real joke. They have no system. They make you wait 5-6 hours before they even treat you. No one is taking charge. A true example of horrible medical attention. You’ll wait 8 hours to get a room if you need one. They discuss your medical condition in a waiting room next to everyone. It’s embarrassing. Never again to this place. Never. They should be shut for.

Horrible hospital, some of the older less funded hospitals really get a bad wrap compared to this place. It's supposed to be one of the best in the city but that's if you're in a particular tax bracket. The staff is just pure trash, unfeeling, uncaring...the list could go on. During the pandemic they were swept under an avalanche and rose to the occasion. This I will admit, but post pandemic we the patients are left to fend with burned out, inconsiderate service that needs an overhaul. I get it we're all suffering on both ends, but must patients suffer mistreatment and an absence of care coupled with life threatening illnesses when it isn't necessary?

Poor quality of service from the medical lab team and patient services. Contacting via WhatsApp and Email gave imposible results after trying to reach them for weeks for a quote for labs. They give you differing information (via whatsapp they gave me a quote and then almost doubled the quote estimate via email - still unexplained). They kept me holding for weeks with no proper response nor matching prices. After waiting I still don't have a full quote for the correct labs. Calling is also made impossible as whichever option you pick off the menu loops you back through the main menu. I do not recommend planning any tests or labs through them.

absolutely one of the worst experiences I have gone through. This place is a mess, disorganized, rude staff. A terrible experience from beginning to finish. Avoid it au all costs.

If you're traveling and get sick, think hard BEFORE you go there. This "Hospital" will take you for everything you got if you're not Colombian and have private insurance. To be fair, the nursing staff is wonderful, but the doctors are nothing but vultures circling to squeeze as much money out of you in your moment of need. Get local traveller's insurance and avoid this place like the plague!!!!

Very good!

The hospital is good, but in my opinion it can improve more. There are doctors and others not so nice and thoughtful. The reception is good, some people (receptionists) are polite, friendly ... The same in relation to the security guards. There should be more integration, communication among the coworkers. As I told you it could be better, even in its standard procedure, being more effective,

Excellent service and support regarding many domains. We had a undergo and the whole staff was extremely supportive (from the first approach, passing by intensive care and ending on maternity domain). Its definitely one of the best hospitals in Sao Paulo.

Never again! I took my girlfriend to this hospital because she was having strong abdominal pains on 07/02/21. The two doctors were recent graduates v. inexperienced. One of them actually told me that Coca-Cola was a good drink for hidration!!! Today we spent most of our day worrying that we may have contracted Covid seen as one in every 5 staff members were either not wearing a mask or wearing them inappropriately. We had complained to the night manager, who didn't care less! To pay for the treatment they tell you to go to talk to a manager in his glass office. This guy not only charged us 5000 Reais which is an obscene amount, but had zero empathy or people skills. And to think that the doctor actually wanted her to stay overnight, probably to be able to bill me ten times as much!!! This hospital has some serious issues.

Everything was excellent, from the operating team (special thanks to the amazing doctor Alexandre Santa Cruz, the best orthopedic surgeon there is!!!) until the nursing staff (impeccable and extremely professional, available and kind), the cleaning service (very effective) to the food!!!! (I never ate so well in a hospital!!!). The medical and customer care are so good that you enjoy being there and feel extremely safe and protected until you are ready to return home! Congratulations to all parties!!! I fully recommend this hospital!

Great service, good atmosphere, absolutely friendly staff, excellent meals, first class medical assistance. Parking is not for free, but very well organized. For patients and visits it's more convenient going by cab. All good there!

Took us 3 hours to get treated with a basic appointment (ear infection) and sort out the insurance stuff, very slow

Hospital is not well equipped to attend cold symptoms at the emergency. You will have to wait for the arrival of an specialist at 10 AM so that he can look inside your ear canal with an otoscope. Even my throat was looked with a cellphone light. A disappointment. See images of equipments that should be part of the emergency below at the national manual of emergency.

Amazing professionals and staff. One of the best emergencies in Rio.

I used the HSVP emergency for years and received excellent service from the front desk. However, nowadays I DO NOT recommend this hospital to anyone who needs to be treated urgently, which is an emergency. Unfortunately, the employees are already used to poor management: triage without proper classification of the severity of each patient, disorganization of the service queue, priorities are always passed on regardless of which problem and give the same standard response of lack of organization. Meanwhile, employees and doctors are talking and some are still using social networks. Complete disregard for patients. My son with an open foot stayed for 5 hours to be seen with a fever above 40 degrees measured in the triage and he was not considered a priority. When attended to, they sent him home and said that the professional who would perform the ultrasound exams had already left and antibiotics would solve the problem. In another hospital, a bacterium was detected and he had to perform scraping and puncture and was hospitalized for observation for 2 days. Unfortunate. Congratulations to the new administration that is destroying a reference hospital with just one bad party. Beauty and reform does not mean good service.

I found the sorting a little confusing, but it all worked out. Attentive and helpful staff. Everything is very clean and has a wonderful view. I loved the parking service.

Came in with Zika and they weren't surprised
