1 Vascular surgery clinic in Kitchener

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 had foot surgery Nov 10 and everyone at this clinic was absolutely fabulous. My surgery was on time, all staff were efficient and wonderfully warm and empathetic. All of my pre-surgery anxiety was erased with the professionalism and pleasant staff. If all surgery clinics could be as civilized as this one it would be amazing! Thank you to all of the lovely staff and of course to my incredible surgeon for a successful surgery!

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!

Do not go here if there is something seriously wrong with you. They're nurses are 90% horrible. Literally had one nurse come into a family members room gave the pills to another family member and said here give him these. They did not bring him ice chips or water when he desperately needed them. The doctors all gave wrong diagnosis, and when we requested a transfer they told us there was no room anywhere and after that day the help we got was less and less. Then when he finally got discharged we went to Mount Sinai the doctors there could not believe the stupidity at this hospital. They said there was room here for you we were expecting you and you never came. They did the tests and now we'll wait for a proper diagnosis within the week. We were forced to stay there for 3 weeks and had nothing done for us and we went to this hospital and everything done in a week. Humber river seems to only care about the money they receive for "caring" for you nothing else. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

This is the worst hospital you could ever go to. My father went here late November because he wasn’t feeling well, his whole right side from his head to feet were cramping and in pain bad, they said he was “fine” and sent him home. At around 4 am my father could not talk or move and an ambulance was called. When the ambulance arrived they said he has been having stroke symptoms for a while now. He was sent to Western Toronto Hospital, great hospital, where he was recovering amazing. Then he was sent back to this disgraceful place because they said he was recovering good and was ready for therapy. When he arrives here his room isn’t even ready and had my father waiting for over 30 minutes outside. There were patients yelling for help and the nurses wouldn’t do anything that my sister had to tell one of the nurses people are calling for help and all the nurses say is “oh they are fine” and go back to the computers. Few days of my father being in this place, he goes back to worse and not improving, but when he was in Western he was improving. This hospital would not clean my dad. My dad was days without being cleaned. My father the later passed in this hospital. Please avoid this hospital at all time.

Amazing hospital and hospitality. The maternity staff is very good and helpful. I gave birth to my loving daughter in 2021. Very Clean place . I was spend 2 nights here. Great experience 💕

I had minimal invasive roboticaly assisted bypass surgery performed by Dr.Ruel on a Tuesday and back home on Friday.The nurses and staff were kind pleasant and comforting considering this all happened in 2022 when covid was still very infectious Again many thanks to all involved it was much appreciated. You all deserve 10 stars.

I am very grateful to the Heart Institute for the excellent care I received just before Christmas 2022. The personal and professional care I received was comparable to none. The nursing staff were terrific and went out of their way to make me feel relaxed and content under very stressful circumstances. I can’t thank the Doctors enough for their support and expertise.

I was there for major cardiac surgery last month. I would like to send out thanks and love to all the surgeon, nurse, anistialogis. We are luck to have the heart 💓 institute in Ottawa. Again thanks, you guys are the best. Know I can look forward to enjoy things I like to do.

I find most of the staff are friendly and helpful. However, it's not sufficient for lots of patients. So, people should wait for more than usual. There is lots of parking lot with different charges rate. The inside of the building is clean. Also, lots of restaurant and shops are located there for different tastes. I believe that it is one of the best hospitals in Toronto.

Great experience here. The staff were amazing. Very kind and thorough. Thank you! Lots of washrooms. Easy to find rooms. Good variety in the food court. There’s also a Tim Hortons in the building. Parking can be hard as the path is pretty narrow, so if you make a turn while looking for parking, you can get stuck behind the cars that are waiting to exit, resulting in wasting time and money. Not much you can do about it but wait it through. Also, you only have 10 minutes to exit after you pay for your ticket, so best to walk to your car right away, as you might get stuck behind cars trying to park and/or exit. Good luck!

I find the staff and employees for the most part, are friendly and helpful. There were a few times when I was lost and asked random employees for guidance, and they went out of their way to help. The lab and diagnostics can be super busy, and for some reason, I always get a bruise with bloodwork, but not at other clinics. It would be great to see reasonable parking fees, but this seems to be the norm. There is a Second Cup inside the main entrance, to the right, and a Tim Horton’s (go straight pass the elevators, turn left, keep going).

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!!
