Wingham & District Hospital - Wingham, Ontario

First time going to this hospital and was taken in immediately. The doctor came right away and was very knowledgeable and had read my notes from my previous hospital so he knew exactly what I’ve gone through. He gave me medications right away and a ct scan. While I was crying in pain this doctor held my hand which I’ve never had that type of care before by any doctor. I ended up getting diagnosed with 2 kidney stones and a cyst on my right ovary. I was given a prescription and went home feeling I got the proper care and was well taken care of. The nurses were very caring and kind too. Thank you everyone for helping me when I really needed it.

Always treated with the utmost respect. Have had to stay numerous times. Dr's are thorough and if they can't figure it out, they send you to where it can be figured out post haste. The Nurses both in Emergency and up on the Patient Floor are caring, attentive and knowledgeable. All of the Staff are friendly and compassionate. I am thankful to live in a Community with a Hospital like Wingham.

Absolutely the worst hospital I have ever been to in my entire life! The doctors make you feel stupid for ever going in there everytime you go in. They brush you off and make you feel like you are a burden to them for being there everytime. In the passed 2 years of li ung here I've had to go in twice for some issues and my children twice and my wife once. And every single one of us and people I know get treated the same way. You generally wait 2-3 hours or more just to sit in a room even if there are no other people in the waiting room. Once the doctor finally arrives she makes you feel like "how could you ever come in and ask her for assistance" it's ridiculous and I and several other people I know feel the same and will never go back again!

Came in, told them I had a UTI and just wanted a prescription. They did a urine sample, and 3 hours later I was called into a room. The doctor came, asked me if I was pregnant, then took another hour to come back. Once she finally returned, she told me I was not pregnant and needed to pick up a prescription at the pharmacy. No explanation on what the prescription was for, if I had a UTI or not, nothing. I had to ask the pharmacist what it was for, and he had to explain it.

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 !

Emergency. Rude in the door. Waited for over an hour for triage. Got an x ray in decent time after triage. Waited 2.5 hours with no news until I had to leave. Tried to explain to reception I needed to leave, but she wouldn't acknowledge me standing at her window while she answered 3 calls. I hope I can get my xray results Monday from my doctor.

4.5 hours waiting wasn't the worst, but it would've been better if the receptionists had some customer service skills.

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.
