I always have such a good experience here. 🙂 Everyone is so friendly compared to some other hospitals in the area. I was in and out in an hour here

Came here because my wife has extremely terrible morning sickness. The wait was short, and staff were quick and accommodating. An insane contrast compared to the Pembroke Hospital. Blood work and ultrasound were extremely quick as well.

Brought my brother to ER on Oct 4th for bloodwork. Athena RN was so caring and compassionate and even though he was palliative, she listened and comforted him. He had a IV started by another gentle mannered RN. The doctor also was equally as professional. Our wait time was 15 min. And they immediately got him a stretcher for comfort. The hospital is very clean and quiet. I cannot thank the staff for giving my brother the respect he needed even though he was palliative, they addressed all of his concerns. Each of you are an asset to Deep River Hospital and you are truly angels?yours truly

Pre-COVID this hospital was amazing. You would be seen in a timely manner. Fast forward to now. If one person is ahead of you, you will be waiting minimum 4 hours if not more.

What a great staff at this small hospital. We were on vacation, very far from home. Being a small hospital, they didn’t have the resources to treat my condition but they still gave me antibiotics to hold me over until I could drive home and see my doctor. dr Owen, the nursing staff, and the receptionist were so kind and friendly. Thank you deep river hospital for taking me seriously and looking after me!

I waited all day to see a doctor who was incredibly rude to me because she mixed up my chart with someone else. She questioned why I would come to emerge when I have a family doctor and I DON’T have one. She also said she couldn’t provide a referral because emerge was too busy. When I went out to my car, I realized that she mixed me up with a 12 year old boy named Gavin on the paperwork. I will never come back to the emergency in this hospital.

Right up front, I will mention the names of the health care professionals who gave my mother, and treated me, so kindly and with such good care. The biggest thank you to Dr. Alikhan and nurses Katie and Madison who so competently cared for my elderly mother who had just taken quite a fall.

Another nurse Sarah was there who did not directly look after my mother but was just as friendly and kind.

All of you are a compliment to your profession and the epitome of an exemplary health care professional. I will never forget the empathetic and consoling words Madison offered me. She has such a kind and caring demeanour about her. You can't help but feel comforted just being in her presence. Dr. Alikhan was second to none and we felt we had a first rate, top-notch doctor with excellent knowledge and stellar bedside manner in front of us.

Dr. Alikhan, Madison and Katie answered our many questions and concerns with patience and kindness. How lucky this hospital is to have the fortune to have you on their staff. And how lucky are the patients and members of the public, to have such excellent health care available to them.

Once again, thank you for making an unfortunate event in our lives tolerable and manageable. You deserve every bit of praise and more blessings than this review can hold.

I wait 3 hours to get stitches and in that time 1 person was taken in and 6 others left because the wait was too long. The receptionist would tell people it was an hour wait even though she knew it wasn't.
I'm not sure if it's because of a lack of staffing or a lack of effort. Regardless of the reason it's unacceptable and unfortunate that this is what our health care system has become.
