I had a knee replacement and the staff were wonderful. They are so short staffed but always treated me like they had time for me. Never short with me or rude. Such a pleasant experience. Too bad all hospitals were not like this

I had the unfortunate event of dealing with Dr. Aaron Barnett in Emerge this past Sunday evening. I was having heavy bleeding and am 10 1/2 weeks pregnant. His response to me was ‘we don't do ultrasounds after 8pm' when it was only 7pm, and then continuing on with ‘ I don't know what you expect from me. It's a Sunday night.' His callous comments left me with zero answers if my baby or I were okay. He followed up with the fact that the bloodwork they do at their hospital doesn't correspond with the bloodwork HCG levels from an alternative hospital so the numbers were pretty much pointless. I was disgusted with this doctors bedside manner and lack of support when I was clearly struggling mentally with everything going on. I've had a previous miscarriage and a daughter who was born prematurely due to a 10cm bloodclot I had during the entire duration of the pregnancy. I left the hospital with zero help or answers and am on day 3 waiting for a ‘semi-urgent' ultrasound. This lack of care is disgusting!

People who care. Like all healthcare settings they are facing unreal pressures with staffing. These people care. Nurses advocate for their patients when doctors seem distracted.

I have visited Soldiers outpatient clinic twice in the past 2 yrs. most recent for day surgery on my foot. Every employee, no matter what dept., was so friendly & helpful. Only bad experience was having stitches removed on Aug. 28 . 2023. Dr . was amazing, however the employee in charge of removing stitches walked around in a black hoodie, no I.D. visible, long curly hair everywhere, not capped, never once identified herself, came & took stitches out, never spoke, obviously not a happy camper. She should not be working in that dept. if she cannot reflect the positive environment that all the other employees display. She obviously needs to go through employee training again & pass the cordial and professional training part. All other employees display this so much. It's so wonderful to see staff displaying their happiness with the job the do. I cannot express enough my gratitude to every person we met previously before yesterday I am so happy with the care that we get at Soldiers.

Have been a patient and visitor many, many times. Wonderful, friendly staff — happy too and I love seeing happy people when they’re working. My surgeons have also been terrific. Soldiers is an excellent small town facility.

Orillia Soldier’s seem to be where on one occasion is best care in the civilized world, and the very next experience can be deemed to be entirely in the wrong direction. I have not seen any evidence of a Soldier’s representative responding to bad reviews, or thanking for good reviews. The irritating comments by some, that if you’re not happy with the Soldier’s experience, “go South”, which seems totally inappropriate an not “Soldier’s like”. There’s definitely room for improvement, but in my experience, not in the competence or commitment of the medical practitioners. It’s all preparatory to our new hospital to which we should all donate to get shovels in the ground.

I arrived to OSM hospital by ambulance in horrible pain. After 1 1/2 hour they gave me a ‘drip’ painkiller. Then basically ignored me for the next 8 hours. Then sent me home, druggged with X3 percriptions for more pain drugs, and did NO imaging to see what the issue was. I learn today from my DR. the hospital report says, I refused a CT scan. Which is a LIE.. I wanted some kind of imaging to see what was going on. now-X3 weeks and still waiting. I give 5-8 hrs of Volunteer work weekly to the Orillia community, and this is my thank you.

No communication from one shift to another. They don’t know how to deal with a dementia patient.

Top notch staff and doctors in the emergency dept. I went in July 12 with mobility and loss of body functions. CT scans were taken, doctors reviewed the findings and the next day transferred to Sunnybrooke hospital. Nursing staff so kind and efficient. Doctors knowledgeable and compassionate.
