I would like to say that my experience at KDH was not as one would say satisfying or restful. I was given the wrong medications, NO PRIVACY and ignorant staff members. We all know that a nurse needs to do her job but to insult and make you feel uncomfortable when your recovering from surgery? No! I had to argue and then finally I said enough is enough and booked myself out of re-hab early because of the stupidity there!

My dad was taken to KDH via ambulance a very sick man who died a 2 weeks later of lymphoma. His stay left us traumatized of how heartless staff there can be. My mom was told by the operator he wasn’t there and didn’t know where he was. When someone called back there was no apology for causing her and dispatch to panic wondering where he went. Limited TV and landlines although they claim all rooms have them and they are free. My dad had a phone he could actually reach and use one day out of almost 2 weeks there. Dr Wanes treated him and my mom like shit with her not wanting to put in a little effort to let my mom know what was happening as we were having a hard time understanding him over the phone. He was having difficulties talking but that didn’t matter they all but forced him ( oh and even gifted him with a phone after says of no contact) so he could try to tell her how his testing went at the Civic. Heartless is the only way I can describe a good number of people at this hospital. Went to visit and was disgusted how cluttered the hallway was. My dad’s bed was close enough to hold hands with his roommate no wonder there is a one visitor per room policy. My family has used this hospital for years but we will not step foot in it after this. Stuff your “I’m sorry” in a sack and provide the documentation I want to know thongs will change. No one deserves the treatment my family got. AVOID AVOID AVOID

I was brought to ER with chest pain and Dr. David Braganza was on duty that day. I could not have asked for a better organised team from diagnosis to all the necessary procedures. Thank you KDH! Wonderful Drs and wonderful staff!!!

Arrived at KDH with chest pain. Was seen in ER by Dr. Cakarevic who immediately diagnosed me with having suffered a heart attack. She organized everything from tests in KDH to transfer to the Ottawa Heart Institute. As far as I am concerned she saved my life that day. Thank you for your excellent care Dr. Cakarevic!!
