Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre

Went into emerg and ended up having to get my gallbladder removed. I have had stomach issues for 6 years and have never received the care I needed through endless visits in Halifax and Toronto. I was taken care of the moment I walked in the door even though the wait times were insane. Thank you to Dr. Simon and the PA that helped me in emerg. Dr. Nader and the anesthesiologist that calmed me down before my first ever surgery. And a HUGE shout-out to Deb, Kenz, Marissa, Emma and all the other nurses on the OB/maternity floor that took care of me post-op. I will never have enough good things to say about you guys.

Mother was rushed in near death. Outlook was dire, yet the Doctor's and Nursing staff pulled off a miracle. Thank you for my mother's life. Special thanks to Hannah in Med B as well as Crystal and Roy from Emergency for their kindness and compassion.

So often we hear about the negative things that are happening in our healthcare system. Today I had an efficient, friendly and professional experience in day surgery. Marsha at registration quickly got my information and sent me on my way. All the nurses that were involved in my preparation and procedure were attentive, friendly, took time to explain everything and provided me with excellent care. Thank you all!

Took my son was in the ER for a couple of days due to breathing issues. They brought him right in. I'm in a wheelchair due to a knee injury. The nurses were so extremely nice and helpful with both me and my son. His treatment plan was explained to me and followed, i never felt in the dark. Beyond impressed.

The Doctors and nurses in the ER were amazing to deal with... compassionate, attentive, and caring... all while constantly running around and seemingly never resting. The doctor, nurses, and all support staff on the floor (once admitted) are also amazing, dedicate people who are focused on the care and comfort of the patients... Why don't we hear about all the good things going on with the health care system instead of only the bad?

Visited emergency room and due to my symptoms, I was put on a bed in the hallway for about 4 hours. I could see that the entire staff were continuously working hard around the clock taking care of patients. The doctor, nurses, and support staff are very nice and professional.

I was in two days ago for day surgery. I found the medical staff excellent, including the surgeon, the anesthetist, and the several caring nurses who attended to me at various stages.

It is no fun to wait three or four hours in ER which I have done on several occasions, but it is the same nearly anywhere. Occasionally, one gets lucky, but our hospitals either don`t have enough doctors to go around, or too few who participate in ER.

I had a major surgery done here and a few other things. I can’t say enough good about this hospital every one who works here is so wonderful and the hospital is just immaculate. Well done housekeeping department you certainly help make this place a wonderful place to be looked after when ill.

Dr Sandland is especially wonderful.

I always find that the staff here are fast efficient and professional. Mostly I go for bloodwork and other tests and rarely have to wait more than 5 -
10 minutes. I haven't spent much time in out-patience as i typically try to get to my family doctor for such things.

I personally have no issues waiting for free medical care. I know they are doing their best to get everyone through in a timely manner.

We have received quick access in Emergency. Maternity care was good, with friendly doctors and nurses, and a private room.

I want to give a special thanks to Ms. Ann Keddy
Senior Communications , she went above and beyond to help me get a get well card to a friend in Hospital when I could do it in person. The staff her go above and beyond. Which leads to a great standard of care

It was not me I brought my granddaughter and her son he had to have surgery on his teeth and had to be put to sleep where he was so young and everyone that was intending to him were so great with him they all loved my great grandson and want to thank everyone involved oh and my great grandson was a great trooper wasn't scart at all

I haven't experienced the ER end of the hospital but have had doctor appointments, imaging and surgery and found the hospital itself a very clean, bright and open place to go, nothing but good experiences.

In & out in 3 hours with blood work, X-ray, urine test results & prescription. Professional, friendly staff from security to medical.

Great Doctor's, Nurses and Support staff. Yes ER is slow but this is a problem province wide.

Great work as usual. I was actually in and waited maybe sixty seconds after triage.
