Princess Margaret Cancer Centre

I want to start by thanking all the hospital staff, such as doctors, nurses, radiology personnel, and support staff. When I started my treatment here, I was in a very difficult condition, both mentally and physically. The support from the staff, especially in the Hematology and Radiation departments, has been outstanding. I am truly grateful to the doctors for their guidance and support during those tough times.nnWhen we assess the patient support system, it truly fulfills its role, rather than just being a token support system. For instance, the parking pass/commute options and the clear directions to different departments, appointments, and hospital records are all well-coordinated and easily accessible, particularly for patients experiencing pain.nnThe hospital's location is a significant advantage. It is conveniently located in the GTA, with plenty of nearby parking garages and accessible Metro stations and bus stops.nnThere are a couple of great snack shops within the hospital, such as Tim Hortons and Starbucks.

My friend had been going here as they had taken on her cancer case. She had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and was coming in often for appointments. They told her it was too late for chemo or radiation and there were a few times she would travel over an hour for an appointment and the Dr didn’t even show up. This is not some cold or flu, this is life threatening cancer we’re talking about. She would have different doctors every time and no one truly had an in depth knowledge or understanding of her case. After lots of frustration she transferred to a local hospital who have provided her with in-home nurses and have been great. They were so shocked to hear Princess Margaret hadn’t started her on any treatments and she is now finally on chemo and radiation. I’m not sure if it’s an understaffing issue but not showing up to very important appointments is absolutely careless and inhumane. I recommend other hospitals for serious cancer cases.

Absolutely terrible people running this place. I nearly live in Mississauga, and they insisted I spend a two hour trip for tests that take 10 minutes. Then, the 5 minute follow up MUST be in person too!nThey also didn't do anything more than CT scans, despite me asking for bloodwork, fertility tests, testosterone tests...they did NONE of these things they say they offer.nnMy list of issues is even longer, but this will have to suffice. Thinking about them makes me angry.nAvoid them like the plague unless you're on death's door. Even then...

Saving lives everyday. Amazing work by the entire staff. Thank you

Went to GI clinic regarding a painfully large ovarian cyst and was told we need to book an MRI and colon test first, but they never called to book the appointment and receptionists wouldn’t answer the phone. Had to book it ourselves which would be in July of next year…
