  I visited the emergency department today & the Triage area where you check in was empty so I waited for 7 minutes as 5 nurses 15 feet away from me talked and drank their Tim's coffee. My Concern Neeta was among them & should of been at her desk (The triage area). After patiently waiting 7 min, sitting in a wheel chair and in their clear site of view I asked them who is supposed to be working Triage. Their angry replies were: We have been working all night, relax we will come, be patient etc.... I am a professional (A Civil Engineer) when I go to work, I work & maintain a level of professionalism I expect the same from a nurse in the emergency department. After that Neeta made her way over and checked me in. While checking me in she gave me attitude, Its a shame everyone has excuses and does not do their job. However all the staff I encountered after the triage area was amazing, everyone else was respectful, helpful, professional and caring about all patients. Please I hope the management will look into this it is a shame that 1 employee can give your hospital such a bad name, especially since she is the 1st person the public deals with when entering. Seems Keven had the same problem as I did not to long ago.

  I'm at the ECU now and there is no Physician yet. We all are waiting for a physician. I never been to this kind of a junk hospital ever in my life.

  I am in the emergency today since 4 hours. The wait is far too long. Seems like doctors don't follow the order and were like there is a easy one In other bed you can take that. So they do keep skipping you to take easy ones they find. Also, they don't have enough beds there are people with in lines sitting in waiting area.

  I brought my adult son to this hospital yesterday. There was no waiting at all. The triage nurse had him moved into the resuscitation room immediately. He spent the day there and was subsequently transferred to ICU. He was seen by 3 different doctors, the RT team and RN's. Every single staff member was professional and very caring. I would not hesitate to return. This was not my first visit and I have never encountered rude staff or long wait times.

  Long waiting times but that is on par with everywhere else! I thought the staff was really nice and never had a problem with that. But looks like we will be going there again, so I might change this review after...
