If I could give this place less than one star that's what it would be getting. We got here at 7pm it is currently 2:30 am the next day and no sign of even getting a room yet to see a doctor. The nurses are all rude with blunt answers and not willing to push anything seeing that my husband is in a lot of pain and throwing up every 5 minutes. Worst absolute hospital that I have ever been to. So sad that this is the only hospital in Cambridge because the staff is absolutely terrible. You will literally die in the emergency room before you even get a chance to see a doctor. read more

waited for over six hours ask multiple times for assistance. No one helped us. No one gave us the attention that we needed. Every time I went to the desk, everybody would be on their phone. The doctors would be flirting with the nurses and nothing was getting done very disappointed in saying this is a Canadian hospital. read more

Along with us there is a child with a broken arm who has been sitting hear as well as a lady that has been weeping in pain. This is pathetic hospital. With an rude, bulling and totally unprofessional staff specifically the nurses on this shift in emergency y October 25 fro. 7pm to 2:30am October 26th 2024. May God have mercy on the patients that Venture into this hospital for care. Every staff member should be ashamed to work here. read more

Wait five hours for a bunch of incompetent idiots to look at your x-ray picture like how hard is it to pull up a picture on the computer and look at it? 4 to 6 years schoollong clearly didn't teach them that shit read more

This place doesn't give proper service to those in need. My friend's mother was admitted to the ER yesterday and they still have not moved her from the ER. They did not respect her privacy well and were rude and unsupportive towards her family. read more

I live in California and heard a news report on the internet radio about the discharge of a patient from Cambridge Hospital, Ontario. The patient was being discharged to a two story home without any kind of in home services being in place. I work in Health Care and let me tell you this would never happen in California. If that took place at my hospital people would be fired. This patient at Cambridge had his right leg amputated below the knee. A dangerous situation for the patient. I called the Cambridge Hospital for clarification of the news report. The person I talked to (Stephen in Public Relations) said he had not heard about this. They discharge patients if they need the bed but the hospital is only at 64% capacity. He said he would look into it. read more

I've visited this hospital many times for both life threatening conditions and common ailments. The ER services are absolutely terrible! When you first walk in you don't know what to do. There is a sign at the triage desk to not disturbed the nurse while she's with a patient. So you have to wait a while before your health card gets taken. At times I've waited over an hour just to see the triage nurse. I could be possibly dying while waiting to get my vital signs evaluated and to describe my condition to the triage nurse. After triage, you need to be registered. This is also a slow process and half the time I see the receptionists doing absolutely nothing! Just being registered can take up to another half an hour, especially disgusting if you urgently need to see a doctor. Depending on how busy the emergency room is you are guaranteed to wait atleast 4 hours to get called in to see the doctor. Now about the doctors and nurses. I have never had a pleasant experience with either the doctor or nurses. The doctors are very brief in their examinations and reluctant to run diagnostics or prescribe medications for your illness. As for the nurses, they can be very rude, brief and slow to carry out doctors orders. I do not recommend this hospital for emergency situations. You are guaranteed a long and agonizing wait with little help for your condition. Either arrive in an ambulance or go to grand river hospital for better services. read more

8 hours waiting is unacceptable for a hospital ER? Unless you are dying, which from what I saw in the waiting room last friday there was not one critically ill patient, I'd say that's a very unacceptable view. Every one in Canada knows that if they go the ER, and they are non-critical, they are going to wait. I went to the hospital on 3/15/2013 after being bounced around by my family doctor for months. I waited 2 hours to be admitted and another 4 hours while they did tests such as a CT scan with IV contrast dye. The nurses were wonderful. The staff was pleasant. That's all that matters. In the end, the doctor was able to finally diagnose my issue which put my mind at rest. I'm glad I drove from Toronto to go down to Cambridge because I got what I expected: a much shorter waiting time and nicer staff. read more
