Markham Stouffville Hospital

Brought my dad in for severe abdominal pain last night to this Markham Stouffville hospital. Was told that it was one of the best hospital. What a crock….I wouldn’t recommend this place to anybody who’s in need of urgent care. Aside from the staff that screen you at the entrance, the nurses are rude and don’t really want to help patients. He’s a cancer patient and was told by his oncologist that if he were to go to emergency for any reason that he just have to show his hospital card identifying him as a cancer patient(given by the staff at the oncology ward at the Oshawa LakeridgeHealth) so he doesn’t have to wait in line. Guess what? We were told that he had to wait like everyone else. After waiting for hours, he was given morphine and taken to X-ray and had some blood done too. They put him in a make shift room, with only recliners, no beds. Do you know how uncomfortable it is for a 73 year old man with abdominal pain is? Still waiting results of those tests BTW. They wanted to do a CT scan as well but had to wait until they open…8am since it’s still early morning. It’s now almost 11am & we’re told that he can do the scan now. After we finished, went back to emergency. When asked if he can get more meds, had to ask the nurse twice because she hasn’t given him the first time we asked, I was told by the same nurse that there was only 2 of them working and when she finally got around to give him his meds, she came charging in his room with a slight attitude. Then who the hell is everyone else that’s walking around in scrubs?? As far as I know, Halloween is in October not August! ?

The female nurses in the emergency room were some of the most disrespectful and rude attendance I had to deal with while I bought my mother in for urgent care. The least they can do is have a bit of respect, not waste time, and not tell a patient to shut it or make snarky comments. Completely unprofessional works, a disgrace to other health care workers.

MSH used to be amazing ... until Oak Valley Health took over ... Oak Valley has destroyed a once amazing hospital. Old staff are still great, but slowly being replaced by the incompetent new staff. Phones are no longer answered, sitting on hold or in voice mail hell for hours is the new norm. It has gone from feeling like a place where people cared about my health, to I am just a health card number that really doesn't matter at all. Patients are people with feelings. They want their tests done quickly to ease their minds. Not told that the test will be done in 3 months and too bad you don't have a choice. Great systems Oak Valley. Never used to be like this until you showed up.

My young daughter recently had a minor surgery at Markham Stouffville. The entire staff, from the registration person at the front door to the many nurses and doctors we worked with, were absolutely wonderful. It is very clear everyone is trying their best to offer a good experience. Everyone was so attentive, understanding, thorough. Their extra efforts to be kind and human were what we all need in this world. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could. Thanks Markham Stouffville.

Be very careful and mean it. If love your friends and family don't take them to emergency room because might not hear or talk to them ever again. My ailing old father died emergency room and never had opportunity to speak, hear, or say goodbye to cruel, barbaric and deceitful world. Euthanize is real and illegal certain country, and if someone old, sick, and heath cannot be address. Right to died. I cried.

on Feb. 14, 2022 I visited Markham Stouffville Hospital emergency unit in the early afternoon. In about 3.5 hours I could go home. the staff members were respectful and friendly. The wait time for screening, waiting for doctor and receiving the treatment was very reasonable. special thanks to Dr. F. Cheng. He was decisive, fast and caring.

My daughter visited a doctor from Respiratory clinic. They were so nice even I accidentally missed the initial appointment and they reschedule it. They made it comfortable for my 2 year old and super clear to me. Thanks for your care and service. The only one thing I don't like about Markham Stouffvile is their auto-review calls. There is no way to replay the message in case of incorrect score. First you have to press any key and while doing it it's super easy to miss the q itself. ( I still have no idea what the q was and which score did I put)

I had breast reduction surgery yesterday and I can not get over the professionalism and attentiveness the nurses/the rest of the staff had! registration over the phone was quick and easily, when I went into the hospital the woman at the main entrance showed me exactly where I needed to go and I waited only about 10 min to get into the area for my surgery prep. All the nurses who helped me out were amazing and made me feel so relaxed! I didn’t get even slightly nervous at all. My surgeon (Dr Ron Wallman) is incredible and also made me feel so relaxed and optimistic. Right after the surgery, I had a woman named Julie help me out briefly and she was great and super helpful . Finally, when I went into the after care area I had a woman named Vanessa helping me and she was incredible! She was so kind, patient, attentive and helpful answering my questions with aftercare. Thank you Markham Stouffville Hospital, I highly recommend them :)
