Kootenay Lake Hospital

Personally have not visited this hospital. But, the fact that an unvaccinated person cannot visit their mother in hospital is ridiculous. It is proven that the vaxxed and the unvaxxed are equal risks. If the mother’s health is your priority, suit this gentleman up then, in a gown, mask etc. and of course, do the same for All visitors. Otherwise, sanitize the hands, and let the love of a son, be the ultimate medication that could will this mother to heal.

A common saying " first impression is the last impression" I had my ear blocked due to excessive ear wax due to which I could have barely heard. However, I went to the emergency room and Nurse Brittany had taken control of my problem and flushed it out in minutes. I am completely satisfied with the type of faster and instant service the hospital staff provided. People are great communicators at the hospital premises. Thank you Kootenay lake hospital.

I gave birth here back in May, and the nurses on the maternity ward were AMAZING!! You could tell that they really loved their job and were so happy to support me whenever I needed

The worst experience I had in the hospital. I went in for severe ear pain and headache. Dr. Sebastian Hetu-Hade told me "I don't have a great answer for you" and then sarcastically said "I can't invent a new medication for your pain." Recommended me to take tylenol even though I told him that I tried but it didn't work. I was dismissed from hospital with no interventions being done. Didn't order any diagnostic tests. Refused to refer me to a neurologist even though he told me it's neurological headache and was unable to provide any explanation for it. When I asked if he could send the report to my family doctor to follow up he said " maybe. " He also suggested a prescription medication but didn't write a prescription. Overall, it was my worst hospital experience.

Awesome experience , every Nurse on that helped with the Birth of My son was great !!!

I too have been admitted more than once through Emergency. I have always found the treatment in this hospital to be first rate. The Emergency dept Is excellent and 3rd floor nursing is also excellent. Thank you to both departments!

Spent 4+ hours in emergency just for ultrasound results... nice people though

I have been admitted to this hospital on two separate occasions through the ER. I have to say, having a background in the health profession, I was given excellent care in a very timely fashion by sincere, caring & knowledgeable staff. Also the nursing staff up on the wards work hard to provide you with quality care. Thankful for care received here.

We went to the hospital and we wait for 5 hours there for the check up and the doctor told us they will just call us for the check up result… but no one called us its been a month now and sadly the doctor don’t even give any medicine recommendation to get rid of the pain or any tips how to cure the problem.

Emergency room staff were amazing. They helped get me back on my feet in no time - despite all the blood!
