Hawkesbury & District General Hospital

My own personal experiences at this hospital have been horrendous, the emergency centre (er), has terrible waiting times, and very rude staff. I always feel belittled every time I come here. Waited 5 hours to get stitches, and then 10 days later, 8 hours to get them removed. I did not stay after hour 8, I left and took them out myself. I felt as if my stitches weren’t even important. Another experience was when I had ruptured a cyst, I had no idea what was wrong, they brought me in and roughly shot a needle in my arm, I had no idea what it was. I later found out (2 hours later) I was allergic to this medication, still freaking out 8 hours later, they finally tell me I have a ruptured cyst and internal bleeding, just another amazing day at the Hawkesbury general hospital. I wish I had amazing experiences here like everyone else but each one of them has made me rethink my living location. I wish you all luck, but I would definitely not recommend this place. I’ve driven to Ottawa lately for my last few emergencies.

For a regional hospital in a small city this hospital is quite good. No hospital is perfect however I have been several times with my family from c-section to day surgeries and emergency visits and all was well done with reasonable wait times.

I ditched this hospital years ago due to their incompetence, and dirty environment and instead drive the hour to the Ottawa General. Today, my better half had to take a family member in for a scheduled appointment. After 1/2 an hour of driving around and waiting in the parking lot for a spot, she ended up paying the fee, leaving and parking at the mall several hundred yards away in order to be on time for the appointment. When she mentioned it to the receptionist, she was rudely told “That’s too bad”. I will die driving to Ottawa before I will let this place bill OHIP 1 penny for services rendered.

Faster service than quebec ,saves me minimum four hours in waiting and lots of parking space.
