Parking is a joke - just be prepared to pay $16 and leave the car there all day (if there's even space).
I would encourage people to park across the street at 2300 Confederation Parkway -parking is cheaper and they don't seem to care if you are at the hospital.

I have been to this hospital 3 times in the last year. Once to remove a foreign object from my eye, once to seek assistance with an abnormal pain in my knee (from walking/bending), once as a birthing partner to my significant other.
The foreign object was removed from my eye in a timely manner, with politely staff & proper "follow up" instructions.
My knee pain was assessed, x-rayed, then examined. They told me I was beginning to feel arthritis pains. FORTUNATELY I followed up with a family doctor. They were totally wrong - I had fluid collecting in my knee. The family doctor removed the fluid & gave me a cortisone shot, stating that he would NOT send me back to the hospital because of the horrible initial assessment. (it should have been noticed immediately because of the bulge in my knee & unusual warm temperature of the joint).
As a birthing partner I noticed that the "suites" were comfortable, but not all staff were focused on the individual patient. Some treated the birth as a "get it over & move on to the next" situation. The recovery rooms (regular & semi-private) are only set up to comfort the baby and mother. It was very difficult to remain comfortable & be there to support my significant other and help to care for the new born. Again, some staff were exceptionally nice, yet others seemed to be short and uncompasionate.
