Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Reviewers frequently praised the compassion and professionalism of many nurses and physicians, especially in labour and delivery, ICU, day procedures, and several diagnostic areas. Specific staff in imaging (X‑ray, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, EEG) and volunteers were often highlighted for clear explanations, patience, and kindness. Several people reported excellent surgical outcomes (e.g., hernia repairs, pacemaker placement) and attentive care once admitted. A number of comments also noted tidy, clean areas and smooth, on‑time experiences for scheduled procedures.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
The most common concern was extremely long emergency wait times (often 5–8+ hours) with reports of limited overnight staffing and triage that felt inconsistent or unfair. Many reviews cited poor communication or dismissive/rude interactions at triage or on the wards, along with instances of feeling not listened to, misdiagnosed, or roughly handled; a few serious cases alleged delayed or inadequate care. Wayfinding and signage were described as confusing, and some mentioned parking hassles, uncomfortable holds in hallways, and inconsistent food quality or cafeteria service. While there are many positive experiences, the volume of complaints around ER access, bedside manner, and follow‑through was notable.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Plan for lengthy ER waits; bring a phone charger, snacks, and water, and periodically confirm you remain in the queue if you step away.
- If your issue is non‑urgent, consider a community clinic or urgent care to avoid the ER backlog mentioned by many reviewers.
- Bring your provincial health card and any relevant records; clearly describe symptoms and advocate for yourself or have a support person help communicate.
- Use the red‑vested volunteers or the information desk for wayfinding, as signage and navigation were reported to be confusing.
- For scheduled imaging or day procedures, arrive early, confirm appointment times, and ask for clear discharge instructions (e.g., brace or crutch use).
