St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton

Can’t say enough positive things about the labour, delivery & recovery units at the hospital. We had very attentive nurses and doctors who cared for me and my twins every step of the way. Shout out to L&D nurses - Maddy, Heather and recovery nurses - Stephanie, Corey, Hannah. All the anesthesiologists were very empathetic and helpful. The after support at the BANA Clinic was also great - Connie is an incredible lactation consultant and helped fulfil our hopes of breastfeeding. Thank you all around!

Make sure if loved one is there you are there everyday to ensure their needs are met. Change beds, clean up the garbage, ensure they eat instead of dropping a tray off out of reach and walk out. People skills definitely not high on their list. One RPN would get 5 stars other than that, negative rating would be given. Catheter was to be taken out for 2 days, not until discharge was it done.

I would just like to thank all the wonderful,professional and kind doctors,nurses and staff that took care of my wife during knee replacement surgery. You all deserve so much credit for my wife making it home in one piece. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND TOP NOTCH CARE ❤ YOU ARE APPRECIATED!❤?????❤

this review is relevant to last year. got to ER at 5, was extremely symptomatic, once admitted after a triage, they took care of me. I got blood infusions and pain medication, got to see a specialist who tried to get me in OR same night, but was eventually scheduled for 7 am next morning. although I spent the night on a recliner, but I could clearly see how busy all the beds were and understood. I had my surgery, had supportive communication with the physician after, and was out by 5 pm next day feeling like I had escaped death.

I would like to put 10 out of 5 to Labour and Delivery Nurses! They are amazing. Especially Lisa and Amy! Very professional and knowledgeable. So much of hard working is done by nurses starting from doing blood work, personal care and ending delivering your baby… I had my son in December 2021. Despite being super busy they showed a lot of care, compassion, and kindness! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

My review is dedicated to the Maternity Centre at this hospital. We have had a wonderful experience while delivering our baby. The nurses are awesome, especially, nurse Brandy, who handled the delivery time very professionally with a lot of care and attention. They are doing very challenging jobs every day. The nurses at the NICU are also nice and friendly. Justine, Amy, Amanda, and other nurses took great care of our baby. I would definitely recommend this place.

I was referred to this hospital after I had a silent miscarriage. Although, this was one of the most tragic events in my life, my experience in the hospital was pleasant. From the moment I parked to the day of my D&C, everyone was helpful and empathetic. The staff at the women’s health center looked at my file and understood that I was going through a traumatic loss. I was not just another pregnant patient, but rather a mother who was mourning. I will never forget the moment when a nurse said to me, would you like me to take you to a separate room instead of the waiting room? The waiting room was full of happy pregnant women, their partners, and even mothers with newborn babies. I proceeded to another room with the nurse. The room was so peaceful, it had multiple types of spiritual books, more comfortable chairs, plants, and best of all, it was quiet. That is exactly what I needed at that time, peace and quiet to process my grief. Just that simple act of kindness and empathy really uplifted me and transformed my experience at the hospital. I also noticed that the gynecologist was involving me in shared decision-making. He educated me about all my options and allowed me to pick the one that works best for me. I really like that he took my mental health into consideration when making these decisions with me.

I’m absolutely stunned that anyone could say anything bad about this place. We went here for delivery of both my children and have had truly wonderful experiences all around. Most recently, my son was born this week and the doctors and nurses were amazingly hard working and helpful. Recovery nurse Maria went above and beyond to make my stay more comfortable. She insured we were kept in the loop and never felt neglected. My night nurse Sheila was kind and warm. The doctors were knowledgeable and helped us with every question and concern including advice that went beyond birthing my child. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone giving birth. Keep up the hard work, some people do appreciate it!
