Meaford General Hospital

I just had a ten day stay in this hospital on the med/surg unit. I have stayed in many hospitals in the past but never this one. The exceptional care, kindness and thoroughness. Exceeded my expectations. Everyone in this hospital showed compassion, treated me with respect, and were always asking if I needed anything. I feel so fortunate to have this hospital close to me. Thank you everyone.

I would like to share that this is my second time booking an ultrasound appointment at Brightshores Meaford, and both experiences with the booking staff have been frustrating. The individual who handles ultrasound appointments has been consistently rude. On my most recent call, she abruptly ended the conversation after about 10 seconds, stating she couldn’t hear me and needed to hang up.nnDuring my first attempt to book, she told me she couldn’t schedule the appointment because my doctor hadn’t sent the requisition. I followed up with my doctor, who confirmed it had already been sent. When I called back to clarify, I was then told they were too busy and not accepting any appointments until the following week.nnThe tone and handling of both calls felt unprofessional and dismissive. I think being the booking agent for the appointment is not the best job for you.

Shoutout and kudos to Meaford Hospital employees in the day surgery unit. I was there for a routine procedure, yesterday. Everyone was kind, caring, professional and attentive. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, despite the unit being full. We are so lucky to have this wonderful little gem in town.nNurse, Ashley, had only worked there for 3 days and was excellent! Let's take a moment to appreciate our health care workers. This is not an easy job!

Drove from Toronto to this hospital to see Dr. G. Costa for knee surgery… absolutely worth it. He is the kindest, most knowledgeable and down to Earth physician I have ever seen. I am thankful every day I get to walk that he has been my surgeon. I have nothing but the best of things to say about the care I received from this physician: after two knee surgeries my scar looks great. He is so thoughtful and empathetic; he always listens, never dismisses or interrupts and I so deeply appreciate that. I wish there were more physicians out there like him; thank you Dr. Costa for making a very difficult and dark time in my life more tolerable and being the ray of sunshine your patients need you to be. You are absolutely an angel and this hospital is lucky to have you.

Friendly, fast and efficient is how I would describe the lab services at Meaford Hospital. I made the booking online. I was ushered into the lab at exactly the time scheduled and departed with 3 minutes to spare on my scheduled time slot. We are so fortunate to have this facility. It is the crowning jewel of our community!
