R	R S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really want to say special thanks to the Nurse ANSY. She is the nurse who helped me in the normal delivery. I had C-section seven years ago, after long period of time and due to my age; even my doctor was thinking I should go for C section. But she has too much knowledge, explains the things so clearly, makes you comfortable. Thank you Ansy.
K	Kaya Smith on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wow! I recently moved up to Fort Mac. First time being in the hospital up here! The way I was treated the moment I walked in was incredible! Nurses in ER were more then amazing. I ended up being admitted. Dr Indar did such an amazing job! Nurse Zyra, Olivia, and Miurim were heckin amazing! And to the rest of the nurses THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
M	Michael Beresford on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I wish I could leave a three star review here but I need to put two stars to get the point across. I had major surgery and numerous appointments here so I have experience. In some cases it is a five star hospital. I think the nurses are great, as well as some of the other support staff. Many of the doctors however are nothing less than negligent, especially at the Ortho clinic (one man in particular) and in the radiology department (multiple things missed here including the Big C.TWICE). My spine surgery left me disabled and only now (after leaving town because of it) am I getting any partial relief with something that could have easily been done years ago if that surgeon had the knowledge and humility to do so and acknowledge he made a mistake. Everyone is human, mistakes can be expected, own up to it and help with the path forward, don't leave the person stranded, and don't lie in your reports, it confuses the matter even more. The emergency department is also no better. I had to bring my toddler in 3 times to get the right treatment on two occasions, and left to wait hours on one of those occasions. She was in horrible pain the poor thing. All I can say here is avoid the major stuff if you can, question all reports generated, go to Edmonton or Calgary and even then question the specialist you are being referred to from your doctor in McMurray. I hate to say it, but if you have major health issues, like many others before you, leave town, this place could literally kill you.
c	cathy balacang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ People go here for emergency needs!, Please be fair! . I am always ,and always having a bad experience here. I don't understand why children who is sick and needs medical attention gets ignored. And vomiting plus dhiarea is not an urgent matter hence a child can be dehydrated quickly! Some nurses are rude as well some aren't.
H	Holly Sheehan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was brought in by ambulance today because my back pain was so severe I couldn't walk on my own . I was unable to sit up in a truck due to the pain so called 911. After arriving at the hospital Dr Falk asked me what was wrong with my back. I explained to him I had knee surgery in June and due to overcompensation sometimes my back causes me severe pain. I explained that this pain has started 4 days ago but had now progressed to the point I can't function. He told me he doesn't know what I expect him to do that hospitals aren't hotels and that I will need to wait for an mri which will take weeks and cant be ordered from emerg. I am on the cancellation list for MRI so while there I called and asked if any room and explained my back was out, mri dept told me he could fill out paper work and they would squeeze me in. The dr Did no test or exam on my back just ran blood and looked up a xray from 4 months ago. He returned and said I cant use emerg as a place to bump up my mri appointment and he was discharging me and wouldn't be sending me home with a bag of opiates that I will have to figure out how to walk. I didn't take nor was I offered one pain med while I was there so not sure why he felt it was ok to assume I wanted opiates. The bottom line is I paid for a ambulance cause I couldnt walk and the dr refused to run any test or help me just blamed me for trying to get in faster for a mri appointment and wanting meds. I was rolled out to the front by a nurse until my ride could help assist me to walk out.
A	Amal Hassawi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best medical service ever. Best Nurses and doctors. They make you feel safe and in good hands. My mom was ICUed twice, with one heart failure but the whole medical team was very efficient. Just professionnal people with simple mission of life savors. At this hospital a patient is a human and a simple number. Thank you all.
C	Colin Cartwright on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our daughter went in last night for extreme pain in a gland in her neck. An obvious infection. No blanket, no water, a jeering doctor in emergency presuming it was COVID, and 5 hrs later told to go home and take Tylenol. All I can say is wow! How far our healthcare system has fallen. Remember the good old days where they actually took care of you and you actually got treated? Ya those days are gone unfortunately. Pretty sad.
P	Patrick William (ABGREENBAY) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I hate being in a hospital but I had to be there! So many Nurses and Doctors helped me get my treatment. Thanks Trina and Dr Denga. The Cleaning staff and Dining staff also were very friendly. Also a shout out to the amazing staff at Alberta Central Air Ambulance for transporting to Edmonton and back.
