Terrible. Just terrible. Signage is awful. Staff is dismissive and condescending. I have somewhat chronic pneumonia...I know what this is, I know what I need but it's very uncomfortable. After waiting 3.5 hours in the waiting room I asked if there was a chance of an inhaler as I could feel my lungs getting tighter...the lady at the triage desk said "you were just out for a smoke so I'm sure you're fine" ...I had NOT been out for a cigarette.

I had to log in and leave a review after reading some of the comments. I had to come here last August because of an ankle sprain. It hurt waiting, but I also understood that others had way more pressing issues than I did. For all you complainers, I don’t think you understand what “triage” means. It means people who are way more qualified than you have determined that your injury/sickness isn’t as severe as someone else’s. Why be so entitled? If you’re on speakerphone ranting about being “done dirty,” you’re NOT the main char... read more

honestly, doesn't matter what hospital you go to nowadays, be expected to wait the whole night or the whole day.
