Went in on March,2nd, 2023. So bad. Never even seen a doctor. Went in at 9am took until 10:15am to get triaged. Waited outside in the waiting room for about an hour. Was in the back room and hours ticked by at one point an older lady went to the washroom and she couldn't pull up her pants as she had a fractured shoulder. She was calling for a nurse or someone to help her and I was the only one around. My son ended up running down the hallway (he's 2). Hours ticked by and nothing. My kids were getting hungry and from vomiting and pooping their guts out in the morning they said they couldn't give anything as a snack for them. (Their Lunch bag was in my car). My son ended up freaking out for about an hour and he couldn't do it anymore. I made the decision to leave as my daughter was also starting to lose it (They are 2 and 4). I went to the desk there were four nurses on chairs talking about their upcoming weekend, one was spinning on a chair. I understand that your allowed to talk about normal things at work but you literally didn't even check on anyone as the doctors were in the research room talking and eating lunch. Like come on! STRATHROY HOSPITAL IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!!!! Had another experience with my daughter with a broken foot and she sat for 7 hours in the waiting room with a broken toe. Got an X-ray another hour goes by and doctor says its not broken. So we go home. Next morning I get a phone call saying yup it's broken you have to come back in so we can splint it. And I asked do we have to wait another 7 hours and they say well it is busy so we can't guarantee you'll be seen quickly. I told my daughter we need to go back and she freaked out for over an hour and she's a really calm kid. So I splinted it myself. She's fine now and she now panics going to the hospital. Thanks Strathroy hospital i will no longer donate!

First time for me to have a procedure at the Ambulant Care Center .Thank you to all the doctors and nurses for the exceptional care and professional work. I felt in very good hands. I was impressed by the patience and time everyone took to explain and help to ease my fear.
… and thanks for bringing me one blanket after the other to keep me warm:-)))

I came to the Strathroy Hospital with my arm swollen from fingers and above the elbow. The medication I had been taking didn’t work, and the swollen area started spreading widely. The doctor who treated me, Oksana Lavazova, determined the absolutely right diagnosis because the medication she prescribed started working right the next day. Now, on the third day after treatment I can see the huge improvement and the rush almost disappeared. I would like to thank Oksana personally for her professionalism, and also the all other stuff in the hospital, like the front desk service and the Triage nurse for the great service and very human approach towards patients.

I went in to get a tetanus shot after cutting myself on a nail. When I went in, there only a couple of people there. After waiting 3.5 hours I inquired how much longer it would be and was told my issue was not important. There was a total lack of respect for me and my time. I pay a lot of taxes and the healthcare system in Ontario is not there when you need it.

I saw doctor David lam in emerg after having a 9/10 pain and a serious infection on my lip. No one had ever seen anything like it. He said it was cold sores (herpes) and told my family doc to swab. HE SHOULD HAVE SWABBED IT! I suggested it was a staph infection and I was RIGHT! I could have went septic!!!! All he had to do was a simple swab, now I’ve been on 3+ antibiotics for something that could have been figured out if he would have just swabbed my lip.
