Health Sciences Centre Review

not very clean.
good maps & directions.
most staff are nice.

Doctors are great cleaning staff was very rude and annoying

An absolute triumph of an experience. The greatest mental health staff I have ever encountered so far. Thank you to that team for doing what they are doing!

Absolutely horrible experience everytime. Unles your literally on your death bed i would stay away. 5 hour waits are not uncommon

The security guards here are creepy. Very creepy. If they give you a hard time, call a lawyer.

In the Day surgery office 3rd floor Bison..
There is a lady wearing glasses and a 7 dwarf scrubs.. she is a clerk...
Unreal how this person does not work... has chit chat and laughing all day distracting others and people in the waiting area talking about her lack of work....
Human resources needs to straighten this person out... #getbacktowork

Big thanks to the doctors for stitching up my face after I got into a fight with a guy over which Coen Brothers movie is the best. I still insist I'm right, and next time around, he better not get in my face when he tells me The Big Lebowski is better than Blood Simple.

All times I went with bad wounds they think I'm just another pill popping savage and never give me anything fir pain. Sometimes i wish they suffered the stab wounds and hashes I had see what meds they would need. Smh too many ppl ruin it fir the ppl who really need medication. And the doctors are slow annd unprofessional

the Nurse and doctors are all pretty nice and have always taken good care of my children... and taught me how to care for my children after we got home... wait time is a bit long but id rather wait for help then have No help at all ...

You must have this guy's hotdog. The 5 stars are for him . And please don't forget to hit the like button.

Abominable wait times. Our public health care at it's finest! Not that they care what their rating is, not as if we have another option, it's the only children's hospital in Winnipeg. How absurd

What a joke of an ER. go in with Chest pain, they dont even do an EKG or bloodwork. Make me sit and wait for 3 hrs till I advocate for myself. Apparently unless you're visibly hurt they wont take you seriously

Very clean and well organized. Professional and courteous.

This place has gotten me through some scary health issues ad the doctors, nurses, ad the ladies at the desk when you first walk in! They have a smile that says not just hi but things are going to be okay ! I at first when had to go into HSC it was about a bump on my chin, went in shaking, breathing hard ad fast , playing with my fingers just scared ! Well by the time i was in the room ad done the staff were honest , supportive ad made the whole experience that much easier! They did it with laughter ad just talked alot ! I came back to find I had cancer of the skin , i was scared but the doctor ad staff again made it easy ad i did the test again ! It felt good when results came back it was benign! Have been there lots more times it isnt so scary anymore ! Thanks to the staff , nurses ad doctors of HSC !

Waiting over an hour to see a specialist. Very frustrated. Waiting times in clinics needs improvement.

I've been to this facility for ongoing therapy multiple times, including two hospitalizations. The doctors I have seen have been less than helpful and I was sent home while actively suicidal.

Our grandchild is in the NICU in Children's Hospital and the care she has received has been extraordinary. The Drs, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, cleaning staff and all the backup staff have been amazing. So knowledgeable, kind and professional.

Pleasant staff during an unpleasant procedure. They made me as comfortable as they could.

Emergency services available at The Health Sciences Center

Let me remind you its not a emergency hospital. Its just another waiting hospital to see a doctor. You will die here waiting. Please do not come if you have emergency.its better to die home peacefully.

The absolute ignorance and lack of concern by staff during a pandemic is just appalling

It will be nice if they can hire a doctors who can actually take care of people than wasting their dying life waiting for someone who can rescued them when they dont want to die from sickness.

Waiting time 5 hours to enter to emergency if you lucky with no patients

Great doctors and staff. Wait times are long, but that's just our country.

My uncle and dad had a surgery here my uncle donated a kidney to my dad the surgery went by great except my uncle had a very crappy room it always smelled like pee and his roomate always had the radio on full volume from which he didnt get any rest from the nurses should really care for the patients rest

Health science is member one in all manitoba hospital,emergency services is great ,Doctors etc..I wish all the hospital would take example from health science hospital!!!!!!

This hospital is useless. The staff are useless in the medical department. Parametrics are wonderful. Front desk is unknowledgable and unsympathetic. I came in after a gran Mal seizure and got in 10 pm. Waited until 2 for them to take my vidals waited until 4 to be sat in the waiting room. Then they took another blood test and wouldn't explain why they just wouldnt have drawn an extra tube when the needle was in me the first place. I kmow I'm not educated in the medical field but at least have the respect to explain why u r doing what you are to me. Currently still sitting 5am waiting to see a Dr and the won't even tell me if the Dr will write my prescription I need. The one star is for the parametric. The rest of you stink at your jobs. Could all be for not I have no clue.

I must say waiting time has improved. Parking can be difficult. I see a lot construction going on in the area. Hopefully they are expanding.

I was in HSC earlier for an appointment which required an x-ray. Upon entering general x-ray office I notice one woman working at the desk (left side when looking at the desk) coughing freely without covering her mouth, or when covering More

Most of the staff are helpful, although some need to understand Canada's laws. Very easy to get lost, needs better explanation. The parking is VERY expensive.

I was here for a week. The Doctors/Nurses and staff at the ER were so nice and know what to do. Found out I had to undergo surgery and admitted for 5 days. Kudos to the Doctors/Nurses/Health Care Aids at the Surgical Department! They treat their patients at their best care.

The best trauma hospital in Winnipeg. Amazing and compassionate security, nurses and doctors are there to help and treat you. The emergency staff are the best in the city.

I ve been coming to HSC ever since I was a kid. Every hospital is going to have it s cons and it s pros. It s the hospital I went to when I first got sick and I was diagnosed with this rare disease. I got diagnosed within three days of being there. The nurses, the doctors, they wouldn t give up on me. The staff was so supportive and so helpful, I wouldn t be here if it wasn t for them. My experience there is nothing but good.

We have been in high risk pregnancies a bunch of times and the care we received was absolutely fantastic! They cared so much for us and our baby's. the fetal assessment ward was amazing as well! Our children wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for this hospital.

Map pamphlets of various floors need to be at the entrance. I cringe any time I have to go here, and it always looks and feels so dirty upon entering.

Gets to the root of the issues that are going on. I was very happy with him finding what has been going on

Winnipegs largest hospital and primary trauma center. Have had both good and bad experiences here... like alot of things that involve a human factor depends who you get

Was transferred to HSC from Seven Oaks. The doctors and nurses were amazing. The staff here turned the scariest week of my life into one of the most reassuring hospital stays I've ever had.

Would rather drive an hour out of the city for all future treatments. Worst receptionist/clerks I've ever dealt with. They dont give you time to explain the reason you're calling, they just cut you off and transfer you to another department. They speak unprofessionally on the call and in person and avoid naming their supervisors like their lives depend on it.

Please go somewhere else to seek medical attention, I came in for problems with my veins and was throbbing which has been a problem for 2 years and I told them that and they asked me about 5 times if I was on drugs and I told them no, they doctor did not do an assessment on me at all and the nurses didn t do no tests on me, nothing at all and when the doctor did come in he asked me slowly and loudly ARE YOU ON METH and I said I said no I am not on meth and he said that s why my veins hurt and kept telling me goodbye like 3 times and said go home I was so upset asking why he did not do no tests and he said there s nothing wrong with me and didn t answer any of my 6 questions I asked and I m First Nation and I made a complaint and they said they put my file away like after only an hour I was just there so please do not come here

Emergency waiting would be tolerable if the waiting room didn t stink like urine. Choking on the stank, I moved to a different section and some nasty checkin lady tells me too bad sit there . All while I m having an allergic reaction to the scents and the urine.
My wait time on a Thursday afternoon was 7 and 1/2 hours.
The emerg team who finally saw me was thorough. They did an X-ray and ct scan to find my problem. The doctors and nurses were GREAT but the wait and the one nasty lady at the front really deserve only 1 star...... and there was a lady sitting beside me with a collapsed lung who also had to wait.......... I don t know what a priority is there. We really got to see a ton of problems in that waiting room during the almost 8hr stay. Nasty, dirty place!

It was the place where I had a second chance at life 2009

Very busy hospital with limited parking. Watch out for tow trucks and be careful parking on the street during the day before 5:30 pm. Has Tim's, Starbucks and Canada Inns hotel. Nurses are overworked and can sometimes be grumpy which is understandable in their line of work. They sometimes forget to inform the love ones of patients who are waiting patiently for information and status.

I was admitted to emergency on June 29th 2017. I fainted, from this new medication I was on, and fell down a flight of stairs. Long story short, I went to my follow up today, with Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Goytan. The (very kind) assistant, Tanis, told me I would be seeing Dr. Goytan to fill out my GWL forms. GWL is an insurance company, and I understand their job is to "get rid of me". At first, I thought, "who the heck is this? I thought Dr. Goytan was seeing me?". This man had the bedside manner of a nurse! And one of the best nurses I'd ever seen! Not just one of the top rated Orthopedic Surgeons in Canada. (And from reviews, I believe THE best in Manitoba. After he showed me my x-rays, and said "This is what I...." I realized it really was the Doc. I cried. I cried because it has been an awful ordeal for me and to have my actual surgeon be so freaking KIND, was more than I ever expected. To anyone who has gone through something as horrible as near death, I truly hope you experience the kindness of a doctor that actually performed the life-saving surgery. He is truly one of those doctors that may have reached the top of his profession, but it is so very obvious that he is still here for the same reason he got into his job, studied hard, paid his tuition, and CARES so much...his original reason, to help, is beyond obvious!!!!.

This has to be one of the best ER in Winnipeg. Yes waiting time is 3-5 hours but that is for other ERs in the city too. Dr. and nurses are funny, kind and knowledgeble. From begining Nurse who checked my blood pressure and temp to Dr who treated me - they did listen to me, asked questions and super super nice to me..

Took my father to emerg. They sent him home saying "they need the bed, he's not sick enough". Sent him home with the wrong prescription and called back today saying he needs to pay and fill another one. What kind of doctors work here??? Unprofessional.

Not that I got a room there even though I need to be close to the hospital. I refuse to go to seven oaks from a bad experience I had. I asked for help you would think someone would help.. Now I lay in so much pain tired and scared.

Long long wait times unless your in danger of eminent death

Lot's of good specialist's here for all your health needs. very good neurosurgeory department also! Has been a great help to me.

Doctors and nursing staff in the ER are outstanding and truly know how to make patients feel as comfortable as possible. Dr. Hill and Nick (ER nurse) were amazing. They were extremely thorough in their testing and take all matters seriously. THANK YOU!

Located in a not so nice area of the city. Not really the hospitals fault. I ve been here for a number of reasons as they have a lot of services. Last time I was here they called a code black. Not because of me. Some guy had a shotgun and was running around another part of the hospital. No one was allowed to come in or out of the emergency room.

Anyways. Staff are usually friendly but you can tell they re overwhelmed.

Housekeeping does their best to keep up with the cleanliness of the ER but it s always so incredibly busy in there and some people are really gross.

not a racist person at all but the filipino workers are extremely rude and into their own people and racist towards others who aren t filipino, they are too cliquey, and pick on new workers, act like they can boss everybody around and only hire family members, never seen so much family working all together. workers sleep during their shifts and get away with it, take long breaks and they get away with it, good to know where our taxes going. no surprise that they all get away with it considering that their managers are either filipino or family. would give negative stars if possible. i feel so ashamed that this happens in a country where our greatest strength is supposed to be diversity, and that this happens at a workplace where you re supposed to help others, very disappointing.
