I have been to this hospital for a wide variety of blunders and births. I myself was born at this very hospital as was my sister. As I was there when my sister was born I can tell you the birthing units are wonderful and the staff are superb. None of this sharing a room business while another women gives birth next to you, EW.
My most recent reason for visiting this hospital was for my grandmother to have surgery. I took her into emerg one evening with severe stomach pain. We waited about 3 hours before seeing a doctor who proceeded to send her home with tylenol 3`s. However, she was back 2 days later, and although the emergency doctors flubbed I will forgive them. She got admitted a couple hours later and was up in a pre-surgery room.
After surgery the ICU nurses were really lovely, my grandmother had nothing but lovely things to say about them (especially a certain male nurse who was strong enough to move her very gently). However, the ICU unit is locked down like a maximum security prison, try sneaking in, I dare you. Overall we all had a relatively painless experience with all the staff and doctors there - my grandmother`s surgeon talked with my mother on a daily basis about her progress which we all appreciated.
I did some volunteering here as well on the pediatric floor, the volunteer community is very extensive and the co-ordinator Veronica is a great woman. They put a lot of effort into ensuring that patients especially children are well entertained while during their stay. If you must go to a hospital I`d say this one is top notch.
