  My sister spent the last weeks of her life in the Palliative Care unit at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton. I was by her side throughout this time and I want to commend the entire staff for the care and support they provided for her and for her family. It is never easy to lose a family member but it is an experience that can definitely be impacted either in a negative or a positive way by the doctors and nurses. The professional expertise, the coordination of services, the patience and the desire to keep both the patient and the family as well informed as possible were all demonstrated in the time we spent in the Hospital. Thank you Unit 43. Your care and compassion were really appreciated.

  The doctor was ignorant and rude, and seemed like he couldn't be bothered. I understand other patients take precedence but I waited for 5 hours just to be told that I basically only needed Motrin. In reality, these pains have been shooting through my head in a violent matter and the throbbing of my chipped tooth (which is the issue at hand) is unbearable when hot or cold liquids/food touch it. I at least would've liked an x-ray after waiting all that time but nothing. The triage nurses were no help either and gave a lot of attitude when simple questions were asked, they would answer in a demeaning, debilitating manner. Absolutely unnecessary.

  They were so kind, professional, caring and knowledgeable at the same time. We had a private room afterwards over there and that was perfect too. Doctors and nurses are angels at grey nuns.

  We went there only once and that was for having our baby. The labour and delivery unit at grey nuns is the best ( haven’t seen other places in Edmonton, but heard some stories).

  Everyone was very helpful and kind. In x-ray department the curtains for patient privacy needs to be replaced. They are not large enough to cover area properly. The neighboring patient could see every one dressing and undressing. No respect for privacy.

  I just had the most awful experience of any hospital in the city... the one I was born in. I waited for 5 hours in the emergency to be told that all I needed was some ibuprofen for a tooth that's been chipped since October 31st, 2016. I haven't had benefits until literally this past week, not something I'd like to share but it's the reason I made the trip to the hospital, I couldn't afford the dentist in the meantime.

  This hospital has the most ghetto hospital beds I have ever seen. Doctor office beds are more comfortable. Bring your own pillow. Plus they put 2 people in a room. The walls are filthy with holes punched in them. Only person in the waiting room and still had to wait 2 hours. If you can make it to a different hospital, go! I am not saying the doctors aren't good. Just very uncomfortable for a guy that almost died 2 weeks ago and is in a lot of pain.

  Also, I was seen by Dr. Robert Kruhlak, and I have never received worse service or assessing in my life. He rushed through the exam and didn't even bother to check my vitals whatsoever after waiting 5 hours. I am absolutely livid and WILL NOT return to this hospital unless I am on my last limb. Absolutely ridiculous, thanks for wasting my time you inconsiderate excuse for a doctor. Poor bedside manner, not thorough in their diagnosis. Unbelievable that I wasted my time on these jokes. Never will I do this again. Thanks for nothing. I'm not sure how one obtains a degree in a practice they seem to not give a flying hoot about. Please, do yourselves all a favour and see a different doctor. What a waste.

  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT USE THIS HOSPITAL FOR EMERGENCIES IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO! Just an awful experience.
