Saskatoon Cancer Centre

I don't understand the poor reviews--this place is amazing. It feels comfortable and familiar when you're there often. My doctor and nurses were so good. Sometimes wait times can be long but that's true of anywhere.

I have a chronic lymphoma and have been getting treatment through the cancer centre since 2008. The staff is courteous, professional, and friendly. The facilities are always clean and in good repair. When I've needed to be seen on short notice, I've been accommodated.

Front reception often does not acknowledge you upon check-in. All it takes is a simple i'll be right with you" . Some of the nurses in chemo department are very patronizing and not empathetic at all. As if cancer patients are not in enough of an emotional turmoil as it is. My oncologist is great. Phlebologists also great."

I've held off on posting this review to make sure it wasn't just my emotions getting in the way. But when a nurse hooks my grandmothers chemotherapy up wrong and it's leaking all over my house and grandmother - that's not my emotions, that's someone doing their job wrong in a position where there should NOT be room for error as such.If there is one good thing to say about this situation and the nurse doing her job wrong, is that maybe because it did leak out instead of into her - I was able to get home in time to say good bye.

Satisfied with the facilities. Parking is an issue if you're staying for treatments. Great staff but it can be hard to move booked appointments.

Your staff really needs to get their damn stuff together. My mother was waiting for half an hour for her appointment and no one came to see her. Then when I said that we were leaving because no one came to see her, the receptionist said she was booked into a room already. She started laughing when I told her we were leaving. There is no communication and I feel like some of the women working at your facility are not professional at all. Edit: be sure to ask about a parking pass for frequent appointments to the cancer clinic if you are going through therapy, because my mother also paid for frequent parking for months when it could have been free.

Just finished 20 treatments...I've never met such friendly, compassionate, caring people...from receptionists,all the radiation technicians, nurses,and doctors...even the maintenance guy and custodians greeted me with good morning..what a great bunch of people..

I am really not impressed with the Saskatoon Cancer Centre. In dealing extensively with RUH I have not found any problems booking appointments and have found receptionists generously working with my busy schedule.The Cancer Centre is an entirely different experience. I feel that it is due to the employee's one system fits all" attitude towards all patients. We do not have a cancer diagnosis but this has not been acknowledged by anyone

You don't want to have to go here. But if you do end up here, make sure you advocate for your health, or the health of your loved one. They will do their best, but it will take a lot of work on your part as well to make sure nothing is being missed. Do some research. Find out about the cancer you are dealing with. It will help a lot.

While we were setting up for my husbands radiation and going through it everything was great. Staff helpful kind. But when radiation was done all of a sudden you can’t reach the Dr. We get an appt time we arrive it has changed without notice. We had traveled to get to appt so when we ask to speak to Dr. Or nurse we are Told they will get back to us in 2-3 days. When my husband was experiencing a lot of discomfort and we tried to call He waited ten days for a response and then his family Dr.’s nurse calls saying Dr . Johnson does want to talk to you about that. When my husband explains this is directly related to the treatment. They have not even relayed the correct information.
