Sechelt Hospital

I recently had gynecological surgery at Sechelt Hospital. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of care, the highly-skilled surgeon Dr. Busletta and the compassion and support I received from all the staff, from the anaesthesiologist and nursing staff to the support staff. This little hospital is doing amazing work and needs to be recognized as such.

Unfortunately, I ended up in the ER after some pain became constant and needed to be checked out. I won’t sugarcoat it, the wait for pain relief was a couple of hours but once testing began and it became clear that something was triggering an inflammatory response, things moved quickly. What started as a visit turned into an overnight stay, and a CT confirmed appendicitis.nnThe OR team was called in on a Saturday, and from the ER staff to the prep nurse, anesthesiologist, surgeon, supporting doctor, OR nurses, and aftercare nurse, every single person was responsive, attentive, compassionate, and thorough. They cared for both my physical body and my emotional self with genuine kindness. I honestly can’t say enough about the care and professionalism I received, I’m deeply grateful.

I have to say I was really impressed with the quality of treatment I received at the hospital. There are many young doctors who know there stuff. They cared more about me than I was caring for myself as I wasn't taking my injury serious enough. Overall I felt super cared for. The wait time in Emergency was very reasonable as well.

Absolutely Disgraceful – This Place Should Be InvestigatednnThis is by far the worst hospital experience I have ever witnessed. The staff have no idea what they’re doing, and it’s terrifying to think people’s lives are in their hands. When rooms are empty, the nurses and staff stand around laughing and chatting like it’s a social club instead of a place where people are fighting for their health.nnThe waiting times are beyond ridiculous – hours and hours of being ignored with zero updates. On top of that, the nurses are shockingly rude and dismissive, treating patients like they’re a nuisance instead of human beings who need care.nnThe most horrifying part? My landlord came in with serious heart problems. They brushed him off and sent him home like nothing was wrong. Later, while traveling in Thailand, doctors rushed him into urgent heart surgery. If he had listened to this hospital, he could have died.nnAnd it’s not just him. I personally have been to this hospital multiple times with heart issues, with my heart rate dropping as low as 36bpm. Maybe that’s “normal” for a young person like myself, but it should at least be taken seriously and properly documented. I’ll now be traveling to Edmonton to get checked out because I don’t trust this hospital to do their job. If they find anything wrong with my heart, I will be suing — because this hospital should already have my records and should have acted long ago.nnThis place is not just incompetent – it’s dangerous. The fact that patients are being dismissed, disrespected, and misdiagnosed should be a massive red flag to anyone considering care here. Someone higher up needs to investigate this hospital immediately before more lives are put at risk.nnAvoid this place at all costs. Your health and safety depend on it.

Went to the ER last night, amazing costumer service and staff! They gave very thorough service. The clean facilities made the experience very comfortable. The only thing that didn't make it a 5 star experience is they did forget about me for a few hours... there was also a guy doing wheelies on a wheel chair in the narrow waiting room, almost running over my toes... but thats ok not their fault! : 10/10 would recommend.
