St. Joseph's Health Centre

Based on all my experiences at St. Jo’s, which have all been great, but my most recent experience with the fracture clinic is why I’m completing this review!Dr. Fu is a kind, positive and great doctor and I know she knows this. Yesterday she gave me space to be emotional and for the second time in my life, I’ve experienced grace from a doctor. I got emotional and unmotivated about my injury, but she was positive and encouraged me to be more confident.Just thinking about how she impacted me in the little 10 minutes or so she spent with me before giving me a doctors note, makes me very emotional.I want to be able to impact people the same way Dr. Fu impacted me. She’s blessed and I can tell that she’s an amazing person who also happens to be an amazing doctor.

Have visited twice in the last week and was surprised at the speed and care given. Went to triage and was sent to Yellow Zone both times (this may have impacted visit) and everyone along the way was helpful, kind, and caring. Depending on time of day you go in will impact the time spent in these zones. Thankfully my emergencies happened very early in the morning so I was able to be seen within a few hours—I didn’t have a life risking emergency. Due to restraints regarding public healthcare crisis (Thanks Doug Ford) things weren’t perfect for all patients but overall my time here was comfortable and easy. Spoke with several doctors and nurses who were all incredible but wanted to give a shout-out to one of the mental health crisis workers. I’m sorry I forgot her name but she was helpful in showing me different avenues for my health plan and what steps I could take to better my long term care as an outpatient.

I witnessed a nurse ignore a patient calling for her as she sat on her phone on Facebook. I know she was on Facebook because I could see her screen from where I was sitting.. When she finally decided to get up… she mocked the patient by making noises as if she was in agony. I personally didn’t get great care myself but witnessing this happen to another patient is why I ended up at another hospital 2 days later to get more thorough tests run on me because they sent me home with no idea what happened to me and I was still experiencing the same symptoms I went in for. I only ended up here by ambulance not by choice and now I will deter anyone I know from this place. I’ve never wrote a review before but this experience warranted one. Train your staff better. Or get a mystery shopper in there to knock out the bad ones .. people’s lives are at risk. I’d trust the fake doctors on greys anatomy more than the ones they offer here. Also had a tick in the emergency area crawling on the wall but at that point I was strapped into the stretcher.

Had a planned c-section at this hospital. Great staff, amazing doctors, and hey! - the food was very decent too. Not a Michelin restaurant but pretty good. I’m very thankful to everyone I encountered during my 48-hours stay, they made me feel welcome and cared for.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of going through a miscarriage, and during this challenging time, I received exceptional care and support at St. Joseph Hospital and the Early Pregnancy Clinic. I cannot praise them enough for their dedication and empathy.I visited the hospital three times, each time experiencing a level of care that exceeded my expectations. Despite the difficult circumstances that brought me there, my experience could not have been better. The doctors and nurses were extremely understanding and compassionate, always considering both my physical and mental well-being.Throughout my visits, the medical staff showed genuine concern for my condition, going above and beyond to provide the support I needed. Their empathetic approach made me feel comfortable and supported during this emotionally trying period.I am truly grateful for the amazing care I received at St. Joseph Hospital and the Early Pregnancy Clinic. Their professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness left a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend this hospital and clinic to anyone seeking compassionate care and support during challenging times.Thank you to all the doctors and nurses who played a role in making my experience as positive as it could be.

I waited more than an hour to simply enter the emergency room… and more than hours waiting for the doctor to see me to pass exams … I emphasize that the nurses in the emergency room were excellent and the doctor was attentive and had the sensitivity to talk with me in private to give my diagnosis and he avoided talking in front of other patients (as other doctors were doing!) but I see that the hospital has a shortage of health professionals. Maybe if IRCC facilitated we would have more doctors and nurses attending. It didn't end there.. my hospital bill also came with double amount!! And I need come back to office hospital for fix it.

I had a great experience with cardiology here. From getting to the hospital and getting directions from information staff, to the drs and other providers along the way, everyone was caring and professional. I was very nervous for my appointment but was put at ease by everyone I encountered.

I received diagnostic MRI imaging at St. Joes. Every staff I interacted with was professional, friendly and extremely helpful.The process was efficient despite me having some challenges staying still in the MRI for one of my scans.Given how overburdened our healthcare system is, I think it’s sometimes easy to forget how hard every member of these teams work to help us (the patient) put the pieces of the puzzle together in our health journey. I wanted to share my gratitude.Thank you very much to the MRI booking team (especially Sophia) including the on-site registration team and the technologists who were so kind and helpful. I believe the technologist I had is named Peter and there was two other lovely team members I interacted with (thank you!).

My Grandpa has been staying here for 4 months and wowowow I wish they would demolish this hospital because they are letting him slowly die. He's suppose to be out of bed everyday and they tell him they're under staff" then when we show up they magically have more people??? When he complains and wants to get up they give him Tylenol instead of doing exercises which ARE LISTED IN HIS CHART AND DOCTOR GUTMAN KNOWS ITS IN HIS PATIENT PLAN. I get that maybe they are understaffed but you chose this field so do what you need to do. Sometimes I'm overworked at work too and it sucks but welcome to life."
