Kemptville District Hospital

Just spoke with my sobbing daughter on the phone as she informs me she has been sitting in your emergency department since before noon with her 5 month old. It's now 10 P. M. Other patients who have come after her have been seen and left, meanwhile she sits there with a wee baby who may very well have croup or pneumonia and still not seen! No one can give her an answer as to when this little baby will be seen and no one seems to really care. This is completely unacceptable! What on earth is going on? !?

Checked in at 830am for my 2 yr old daughter for a check up due to dry coughing. Didnt get into the room until 5pm to wait another 1hour to see the doctor who rushed the appointment for less than 5mins. Worst wait times as much as the civic hospital in ottawa.

Checked in 830 and i was the only person there and 6hours past by with a full waiting room and I asked when will i be seen for a check up due to a sote throat and they there was no ETA.this is outrageous.i ended up leave at 345pm not being seen.you need to either find more doctors in this area and get your stuff together.worst than civic hospital in ottawa!

I had a surgical procedure done today. I have never in my 6 surgeries ever experienced such amazing care. It was my first experience in Kemptville. From the lovely lady at the Front door who welcomed me brought me up to the surgical floor to all the nurses, anesthesiologist and of course my surgeon
Dr Leriche. I felt extremely comfortable and well cared for from start to finish right up until I was wheeled to my car. Amazing. I certainly didn't feel like a number today. Well done.

My husband just left after waiting for 6 hours to be seen to get an extremely deep cut stitched and they let several people that came AFTER him in. There was only ONE person ahead of him when he got there. 6 hours and he wasn’t seen by a doctor. Only come here if you’re dying. Even then they would probably let you bleed to death in the waiting room. Can’t believe this is a hospital in CANADA!

Amazing all over experience in emerg on October 11th in the early evening. My 2 year was seen at triage and immediately brought back to a room where a nurse and physician assessed him right away and administered meds to help with his breathing. He was then monitored overnight with care and compassion from everyone who stepped in our room. An example of our healthcare system working like it should! Thank you to everyone working at Kemptville hospital who made our stay as good as can be. You are all overworked and tired but everything you do is appreciated!

I came in for meniscus surgery today and I wanna thank everyone from the nice lady that welcomed me in to the hospital all the way up to the lady that wheeled me out. Never have I ever experienced such nice people. Thank you for being awesome!

Wait times are horrific, I'll only go if I'm sure I'm dying. 6 hours was the best and 12 the worst for our last 5 trips there. When a 4 year old has a fever of 104 do you know how hard it is to wait for 8 hours to see a doctor for 3 minutes? I emailed the CEO to ask what our community can do to help, or if he has made any plans to fix this problem, and I never even got a basic reply. Absolutely terrible!

I'm having a hip replacement & everyone I saw at the hospital was very kind to me. I had to go around to a number of pre op appointments in different areas in the hospital to get me ready for the my surgery & my nurses, x-ray technicians, phlebotomy specialists & anesthesiologist were all very nice & made me feel very comfortable.

I was there today, for the first time, and WOW! … what a gorgeous collection of ladies purses/accessories, home decor items, clothes…. And a great selection of used books… while there enjoy a light lunch! All proceeds go toward this very worthwhile cause… run by volunteers…. I highly recommend this lovely shop and will definitely be back!

Volunteers and office ladies where really kind and did a good job, so did dr Brisebois but the rest of this hospital is a joke.

8 hours wait and told hours more.
I was in so much pain I had to leave and go home. I couldn't take the pain that long in a waiting room. A 90 year old woman had to do the same.
I don't blame the staff. I blame this circus of a gov't. They have crashed the health system!
The waiting room was full with one doctor in attendance.
Many people left.
I was told if I came back tomorrow I would have to go through the full process again! It didn't matter how sick or critical people were!

Fantastic staff! More hospitals could take notes from this place. Nothing but kind and helpful.

Lied and told me there not a fully equipped hospital that they don’t have an ultrasound machine
