Hands down the best hospital staff I've talked too. Pure class and proffesionalism. Went to emergency on Friday night when I had lower abdominal pain and obviously it was busy for about a 4 hour wait, I don't blame them as people always say avoid busy Friday nights. I started feeling better and after speaking with a doctor in the early morning, he wanted me to come back for an ultrasound to check out to see my appendix.Next morning I got there and there was no wait or lineup, they quickly put me into a ultrasound and by the way the technician was one of the smoothest talkers ever.After I met with another doctor in emergency and she said that the ultra sound was not showing enough. Even though I was feeling better, she didn't want to give up and wanted to make sure I'm okay. They did more blood work and sent me for a ct scan, which by the way is unreal, super sci-fi.Came back and waited just half an hour when I got the news from the emergency doctor that I had appendicitis. Dr. Zargaran then came by and spoke about his recommendation about having my appendix removed even though it wasn't that bad anymore but good idea to do in case it comes back. He gave me all the info about it and so forth.Within 30 minutes I was wearing a sweet dress and went off to my first surgery. Not gonna lie I was extremely nervous but Dr. Zargaran's team did a phenomenal job at being nice, supportive and helpful. They wheeled me into the surgery room, popped me on the oxygen (which they said was just oxygen you, you liars haha) next I knew it, I was out in recovery with a sweet hangover. The ladies there were super helpful and sorry if I said anything weird or funny.Thanks again everyone, just need to recover now! Lions Gate has phenomenal staff and the new upgrades to the building look great. Class act team.
DR. EDWARD KROLLI had the misfortune encountering this arrogant, antiquated stiff of a doctor at the Park and Tilford clinic last night. He resisted helping me altogether because he had made up his mind that I was not eligible for help at a walk in clinic and that I should go to my g.p. in that regard. - Im guessing that because he had access to my files that he may have noticed my mental designation/diagnosis and that perhaps he thought I was too uppity for being so diagnosed and that he had better be put in my proper place. - and so, I believe, he thought that he could easily push me around.Essentially he refused to help me at all with the lab referrals which were the main purpose of my visit to that clinic. He told me that I had to get such referrals by way of my general practitioner. It seems that this highly educated man had never heard of a citizen (even on medicare) being entitled to different opinions- to the opinion of more than one doctor? For indeed that is why I go to walk in clinics - to get the different opinions from different doctors there - l and I believe it is my right tgo do so. I invested considerable travel and waiting time to get to the Park and Tilford Clinic last evening - I had a small tumor in my belly and I wanted to resolve the issue of my left knee - to determine if it had any serious damage which would show up on x-ray or ultrasound -because I am a serious tennis player - similarly I wanted an x-ray or ultrasound for my foot for some possible sliver of glass or metal - but this calcified authority figure denied all of these things to me - Id spent the time going to that clinic and waiting but that wasn't enough for him, I believe that his true purpose was not to help me at all but to knock me down a few peg and to put me in my proper place.
Doctor ordered me to head to emerg for a urological issue, came in and this is probably the most upbeat and happy hospital I've been in. Nurses were very polite and positive attituded (even when I told them the urine sampling got a bit rowdy and housekeeping was needed).Got into intake almost immediately and saw a doctor, then got an instant referral to a dermatologist and some medicine that finally seems to work).Full stay was about three hours. I'm sure everybody has their good and bad days, but today the work ethic was shining. Heck, probably choose this place to die in.You staff on the front lines keep it up, you deserve the praise.
Its hard to review hospitals because everyone has different experiences, some people get turned down and become angry, some people have everything go smoothly and have a wonderful experience. There is usually no in between. On my visit the hospital is as most hospitals should be in terms of facilities. Organized and easy to find what youre looking for. The staff were friendly but official. If youre looking at reviews to see if you should come here, well you cant get a guaranteed experience. Check this place out, its a good place but if you have a bad experience try and have a good outlook. Not everything that goes wrong or against you is intentional.This place is a nice community hospital and they always get stuff right away. They have nice places for non-patients to wait and get away from the hospital area which is nice since looking at needles and bedpans isnt always a comfortable experience for everyone. They have a TV in the cardiac area waiting area and an open area where there is fresh air to enjoy and not the hospital smell.
I have had 2 family members from out of province visit this hospital needing medical assistance for injuries and both times they were treated quickly by friendly and professional staff. Well done Lions Gate!!
