I recently had day surgery at the Hamilton General Hospital in the Main Operating Room under the care of Dr. Kahnamoui. What a pleasant and professional individual he is. He is truly excellent at what he does.nThe nursing staff were equally outstanding; kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. My follow-up visits after the surgery were also very informative and reassuring.nAlthough parking has never been my favorite part of visiting the hospital, I appreciated the availability of multiple parking options in the surrounding area. Fortunately, I had assistance with transportation on the day of my procedure.nOverall, I had a very positive experience and am grateful for the care I received. Thank you to Dr. Kahnamoui and the entire team at Hamilton General.
Awful experience with ER nurses. You can hear them complain about patients who get up and leave, when they don't realize us as patients are the ones that sit and wait for them mind you for so many hours while they finish talking so someone can finally see us. It was disgusting to hear that and they don't check up on you either. Truly I would say go to another hospital if you can.
I was referred to the MS Clinic here from my family doctor so we can do all the testing to try and figure out if I have MS and if not what might it be.nI have been very happy with everyone I have seen at your wonderful Hospital. They have all been very helpful, understanding and very cooperative with me and my caregiver. We use the GO Bus to here from Waterloo, and everyone is understanding that I am slower than I normally am due to sitting for 6 hours.
I had a scheduled angiogram couple of weeks ago.nUpon my arrival, I was greeted by the smiling admin lady and brought to my bed.nThe nurse approached me and introdused herself as Kim. She explained to me what she was going to do before the procedure.nMy procedure was performed by Dr. Jolly.nAfter the procedure, the nurse team of Kim, Matthew and John took care of me, making sure the blood from my arthery stop leaking.nMy cardiologist, Dr. Ibrahim, dropped by to check the results of angiogram and share his opinion regarding further course of action.nIt was a long day, but thank to the wonderful work and care of Kyung-Sook Kim, Matthew Mardell and John Co it was bearable. I want to thank you all for your diligence, patience and professionalism!nWith great respect,nEvgeny Lozovsky
First time I was ever at this hospital through ER with brain aneurysm I had two best dr.s . The nurses were awsome! Suki from food department was also amazing!nThe assistant nurses for showering where also amazing.. it’s sad that some of the hospital is old & run down, but again nurses to many to name but one Carlos was nice & beyond second to none!nI feel like I had the best care I could have gotten! So thank you to all who took care of me..
