Wingham & District Hospital

Was greeted friendly and professionally. Nurse was quick and efficient with the triage. Dr was courteous and friendly. Offered his opinion and steps to take to remedy the situation.

A week ago I had shortness of breath. I was seen immediately. The nurses and doctors on duty made me comfortable and answered my questions calmly and with professional grace. It was recommended that I stay in emergency and wait until the morning to get an ultrasound which revealed an enlarged heart. I was admitted and spent the next three days being treated by numerous medical professionals, nurses, orderlies, doctors, cleaning staff and catering staff. They ALL did their jobs with professionalism and pride. I am grateful for their care and attention. Thank you to all !

My dad was brought in at the beginning of December 2021 with what turned out to be kidney failure. The doctors and nurses were caring and attentive and took really good care of him. Great job Wingham hospital ! From Kaz

Five starts for the staff. Both my parents spent their final days here and the staff were wonderful! My dad was in for a couple months and the staff really were very kind to my Mum while she was there with my Dad. Thanks again for being really good people!

Phenomenal care by exceptional staff!

The oncology department is the best! So caring and engaged. They really take care of all the details and patient comfort.

The Oncology department is the best.They show genuine concerns for the patients and are extremely friendly and professional.

Staff, Nurses, & Dr's we interacted with were wonderful!

GREAT

Staff pleasant and knowledgeable.

It is slower than the cities

physio staff is the only good thing about this hospital, they are very friendly and helpful and sent me home with all the knowledge and tools I need to recover. While I was a patient there after back surgery, Vander Klippe never once focused on my back, he focused on my smoking habit trying to get me to quit when I have no interest in doing so. Nurses were fine, charge nurse was extremely rude when I questioned and challenged her on hospital rules, very unprofessional, and suppers consisted of turkey at least 3-4 days a week, usually 3 days in a row. I will die before I am ever a patient there again.

Triaged Efficiently that we were seen by dr within a reasonable amount of time... Nurse was nice enough but seemed to lack a broad medical knowledge past what is necessary for her to know i.e. didnt know half the generic names for basic medications. Now the Doctor was a whole other deal, He came off as inexperienced and rude. Assumptuous and impatient.

They couldn't fix my broken heart.

I waited 3 hours to be called in I was there at 7:40 am then got called in a 11:20 today then waited! Another hour for one doctor to come up to me while they had 6 nurses that did nothing! All of them saw me then didn't tell the doctor, then my friend that went in waited 5 hours just to get checked in then waited in the same room as me and it also has to wait an hour! The nurses need to type instead of the doctor. Only come here if you need the closet help immediately.

I recently move from Alberta to Ontario.My son 16 months old,was sick and went to Wingham District hospital when the doctor came,she said to do a blood test and I agree to do the blood test.While during the blood sample one of the male staff inserted the needle without preparing anything like syringes,blood sample bottle,after inserting the needle I saw too much blood in the bed sheet,nobody pressing the needle or anything,blood is running fast through the needle.Total four staff was there on time,I asked staff and they said no problem.After that staff put a connection though the needle for iv fluids and put a small plaster on it.So I asked them there is any butterfly cannula or anything but staff denied,they don’t have any paediatric items .After putting the line my son was moving the hand vigorously but staff came and pushed again.After 15 minutes I asked there is any splint then they said yes we are coming to put that. I am very disappointed for this consultation,even if they don’t have any paediatric treatment they can refer.this is my suggestion
