Lakeridge Health Oshawa Emergency Room

Very rude nurse claims to have called my name 4 times but somehow I didnt lose my place in line. She never called my name and gave me attitude for asking a simple question and told me shes NOT ARGUING with me. I approached her very calm and nice considering being here for 6+ hours. I asked multiple people who were sitting with me for over 4 hours and none of them heard my name. Highly do not recommend coming here.

Waiting periods over 4.5 hours. If the hospitals can't work efficiently why not just shut them down? Either the Doctors don't care anymore or there's a shortage. Either way. Shut hospitals down with waiting periods longer than an hour.

First time being in this emergency dept and I would have given it a 5 start but the triage lady was very rude. Abby did my ecg and she is an absolute gem! The woman who did my blood work was super friendly, same with the one who did my nasal swab. The xray team were very efficient and the young male doctor who saw me was very human, down to earth and thorough. He made sure we checked everything. I wish I knew all of their names because they all deserve to be recognized. There is a pregnant nurse with blonde highlights who wasnt taking care of me but you can tell that she loves her job and goes above and beyond even while carrying a little one. I was there today Good Friday from 9:50am until about 1:30pm and had all the above completed. A lot of reviews talk about how slow they are but I couldn't believe how fast and efficient they are. Thank you team, I appreciate your dedication to helping us. For those complaining about wait times if we had to pay for Healthcare we'd get seen immediately because people wouldn't be going for every little thing. Would you prefer that? Think about it. Stop being so entitled. Your kid isn't more important then the child beside you or the elderly person in the wheelchair. Stop complaining! If you're nice to them they'll be nice to you, if you cop an additude then you deserve it right back! I was there today for 3 hours and 40 minutes and that includes letting an elderly gentleman take my spot so he could get his blood work done, and I also let a little girl get her x-rays done ahead of me even though I was waiting longer. Give peace a chance!
