Staff are so friendly, outgoing and caring.  The time we spent there with our newborn for her TEF repair was beyond amazing, I, we, can't give enough positive praise for the IWK and the fenominal staff.  Thank you all for everything.  You're fantastic at what you do, keep up all the awesomely great work.

Most ridiculous place I have ever been. My 9 month pregnant wife comes here with liver issues and we are trying to get help and we are not getting anything. We have been seen by a doctor and nurses and no one is helping us they keep saying we have some one coming down in a couple mins and still nothing. The doctor just waliked in as I'm writing this and says did the benadryl help and surprise we weren't givin anything. There is zero communication in this place. Year ago there fighting for more help but I'm walking around the hospital and all the nurses are sitting around talking with each other laughing. This is a joke horrible experience I would say don't come here but it's the only hospital so with that said good luck and be ready to sit for hours and no one actually help you

I have nothing but good to say....the doctors have always been so kind even when they are so tired. The nurses are busy but still seem to care....we need more doctors to make this easier on everyone patients and staff....bless them all.

Horrible bedside manner. Paramedics as well as hospital staff were extremely rude besides their male gyno. I have been to a handful of hospitals and I have never had a longer wait time or worse service. They discharged me while I was still loopy from anesthetic and told me everything that happened and how to take care of myself while I was in a drugged up mental state that I don't remember. Nobody was gentle and most were disrespectful. The paramedics wouldn't answer my questions. I've only lived in halifax for 3 weeks and My wounds may be infected but in full honesty, I would never want to step foot in this hospital again. No after care provided. No painkillers prescribed. Nothing. 

I honestly wish that I went somewhere else where patients matter a little more.

I could not imagine how I would have gotten through my delivery without the support of the amazing staff.
