Worst hospital to give birth to your baby at, well actually the nurses and doctor that delivered my baby were amazing, they were so kind and actually took care of me and were polite and friendly, this review is for after when you get moved up to the mother baby unit, the nurses I encountered while being in this hospital were so unbelievably rude I dont understand how they even have a job where you have to interact with people on a daily basis, this was supposed to be the happiest time of my life being my first baby and all but it turned into the absolute worst time/experience Ive ever had. The nurses were all extremely rude and stuck up, being a first time mother I had some questions about breastfeeding since Ive never done it before and these nurses acted like it was the end of the world that they had to answer my questions and the way they spoke to me made me feel like I was stupid. These people made me feel like I shouldnt be a mother, the social worker SARAH SIMPSON even made comments that I shouldnt have had my baby that I should have had an abortion, I was completely stunned at this, I started to shut down and avoid the nurses and staff every chance I got because I was so tired of being put down and made to feel stupid. SARAH SIMPSON is supposed to be a social worker but she is faaaaaar from that, she doesnt know how to be a social worker, she is the worst out of everyone I encountered here, she doesnt know to to talk to mothers, she only knows how to belittle people and acts like shes better than everyone else meanwhile she is not, the whole time all she did was judge me and tell me that I was doing everything wrong instead of talking to me like a normal human being she told me how I should be feeling and how I should be dealing with the situation, she is an evil human being. She is not there to help in any way, she is very very messed up, she should be fired. My baby is my entire world and they made this experience complete hell for me, they took away moments that were supposed to be special and I will never be able to get those moments back. Ive heard a lot of horror stories about this hospital but I found it hard to believe that nurses and hospital staff that are supposed to be there to help you and celebrate this happy time in your life could be so cruel to new mothers, but I wish I would have believed it because its all true. Every horrible thing you hear about this joke of a hospital is true, while I was here I met another family that was being treated the exact same way, made to feel like we arent capable of being a mother. The nurses constantly judged me non stop, they also lied about things that they did, which ended up with me looking like the bad guy. I could go on about what these people did to me and how badly they treated me but it hurts to even relive it by typing it out, so I will stop here and just please please do not have your baby here!!! It will be the worst experience of your life and it will turn something thats supposed to be the best time into the worst time. Id rather drive 45 minutes away to Toronto then give birth here.. worst mistake of my life. This place doesnt even deserve one star.
I went to the fontbonne department with my mom. The staff were amazing. They were very friendly, efficient and patient. They explained all the procedure very clear and helped us all the way through. Thank you for a great service.
I was rushed here from St. Catharines. They took me in right away and did me a great service. Looked after my problem and did great follow up. My day nurse ( Diana) was great. She was friendly and helpful. My night nurse (Lisa) was also nice and kept my night interruptions to a minimal. I'm not a fan of hospitals but if anything else ever happens to me this is the place I want to be. I just got released and have nothing bad to say about the service I received here.
I came here because I was having horrible anxiety and panic attacks and i was running out of places to seek help. I should have started here first! The onsite mental health psychiatrist is amazing and i was able to not only get some medical help but also was told of other services i could use if needed. The wait time was also good at only 1 1/2 hours. Highly recommended if your brain isn't braining quite right.
Completely agree with S Kay. The doctor that delivered our baby is great. After giving birth, the nurses who are suppose to take care the mom and the baby are extremely rude. I remember one of the nurses named Wendy who came into our room with two interns and showed them how to do blood test for our baby. Wendy stung her like she's just a mess of flesh soullessly on her foot four time one after another. Our baby kept crying and Wendy smacked her back consecutively and she nearly couldn't breath. To my surprise that none of the interns thought it's inhumane to anyone not to mention you were doing that to a newly born infant. If you (any staff in St. Joseph's) see our post here, please kindly do some investigation anonymously. Not for us, cause we are done with this hospital. We just do not wanna see more newborns to be treated like this.
