I just spent two days waiting on minor surgery for kidney stones. I must say after being transferred from south calgary where they did not have the facility I now appreciate the older paint chipped walls of rockyview hospital. I spent a day and a half at south calgary and two days at rockyview. I was looked after as one should be not as one that thinks they are entitled. I watched homeless drug addicted people and over expectant patients abuse front end care workers who do not have any control over the system. If y people want to complain do it with your government. Thank you to all the front end workers and doctors. read more

Nov 14 2025. Brought my wife in due to internal bleeding from possible miscarriage. it's bee 14hrs and counting and probably looking at more hours while we still wait for basic tests and assessments and she has yet to receive any treatment and continues to bleed. Lots of vital signs taking. have not seen a single doctor, only nurses. no water fountains , nothing much for food besides the very expensive cafeteria 5min walk away. toilets are dirty. No doctors was available overnight, wait times on the website is laughable at best. Too bad staff and management doesn't have to come in as a regular patient with no special needs. I wonder how they would find the situation. please avoid Rockyview as much as possible. read more

I caught influenza A on Christmas, just after my 35th birthday and it inflamed my asthma so bad I spent two weeks in a coma in the foothills ICU and had kidney failure. They released me and then my heart started to fail so another ambulance ride unfortunately brought me to Rockyview. One of the doctors asked me if I was a smoker and I told him that I smoke one pack per year but not every year, and since I got so sick I'm never touching a cigarette again. Well he decided to gossip about me to the nurses at emerg and since they were grouped right outside my room with the door open I could here them exclaim "Oh my God she's a SMOKER?!" And they all treated me like shit after, refusing to make eye contact, being rough when touching me and giving a bad attitude when talking to me. One of them almost got vomit on them because he refused to hand me a puke bowl when I asked he said "For what?!" As if I was asking for no reason. Heart failure can also come with really bad nausea just FYI. This is 2025 and people in North America are literally doing the nazi salute and goose stepping over human rights but IM THE VILLAIN because I smoke sometimes? What about people who smoke everyday, every year?! How are they going to be treated? I find it absolutely disgusting that Rockyview staff treat people differently based on their personal opinions. Well they decided a filthy smoker doesn't deserve respect so they threw out my green sleeve from foothills. That information is now lost thanks to the judgemental douchebags at emerg. I wish this was the end of my rant but this is Rockyview so ofc the bullshit continues, they transferred me to unit 71 where one of the receptionists who has never met me or even seen what I look like decided to have a personal Vendetta against me, she constantly paged my hospital bed for staff "Alex to the front desk please. Alex to the front desk." EXCUSE ME MISS BUT ALEX IS NOT IN MY BED and it's hard to sleep with a speaker blaring right in your face so I tried telling HCA and nurses that she keeps paging my bed but no one believed me because it's never happened before so the nurses resorted to gaslighting me "maybe your just hearing things." And "maybe it's coming from somewhere else." Sweetie, it's a speaker that is right in front of my face and it vibrates when someone talks through it. I tried telling them I can hear her page my roommates bed before she pages mine and it only happens when she's on shift, no other receptionists were paging my bed. Finally one of the nurses gave me the benefit of a doubt and taped a pad over the speaker and silence was bliss. But not for long though because why not put someone with heart failure in the same room as a lunatic, cutting up her diaper first thing in the morning and then screaming as loud as possible "NOOOO GO AWAY! SHUT UP! GIVE ME MY KNIFE BACK! I WAS WORKING ON THAT FOR TWO HOURS!" or spending her days angrily commanding me to turn the sun off and yelling louder when I obviously couldn't. She had to make every day and night miserable for everyone, especially the staff, I felt bad some of the nurses in 71 were really nice but got zero respect from her. Speaking of which one didn't take me seriously when I asked for a sponge bath, I know it's not a pleasant thing to do but I wouldn't be asking if I was able to shower, but she made me shower and guess what happened? Couldn't see, felt sick, vomitted at some point and passed out. I came to in the bottom of the shower, naked ofc and this nurse looked at me with disgust and audibly said "ugh!" Like ok I know I'm not pretty to look at but can you keep your bullshit to yourself I literally have heart failure and the warmth and steam made me collapse. I really hope my heart doesn't give out and I get sent back to this hospital. Foothills or Peter Lougheed please, I don't appreciate being at the mercy of such judgmental opinionated staff. read more

Had a wonderful experience at this Hospital. I had an appointment here with a specialist. They called me to tell what time to show up. I asked for directions and where to park. They gave me perfect directions! I park my vehicle and paid at the parking terminal where you enter your license plate and pay by card or change for how long you think you'll be staying, take the ticket with you. On entering the Hospital Main Entrance. There are a few tables for Covid screening and given a fresh mask. I have never been here before and had a red vested person take me to where I had to go, good thing it was a bit confusing. :-/ If I had trouble getting back I could ask for assistance to get back to the entrance. I didn't, I just followed the green arrows on the floor. All in all I was in and out within 30 minutes. Staff were super friendly. Plenty of paid parking with easy access from 14 street SW with easy to navigate signs. read more

The admitting clerk had no personal manners. The operating team of doctors, nurses, anesthesiast, staff were understanding and made sure to explain what they will be doing and how it will effecting me. Then i will be taken into the recovery room. The nurses and staff were very polite and explained that everybody is différent and so not to stress out. In the ward the staff and nurses were very kind and attentive. But not all HCAs are compassionate and helpful. They just stand and watch without offering help or guiidance. Especially those on night duty. Horrible expérience. The volunteering youngsters ere very helpful. Horrible Expérience from one particular physiotherapist. She was a rude racist and called me a name that as very depressing and unacceptable. Shé is not suitable to be in this hospital industry. I was in tears and starter feeling worthless. How is shé employedby Auch a reputable Hospital like Rockyview Général Hospital? For meals, i as being given diabetic meal when i do not have diabetes and I am no where close to the borderline Also. The nurses kept telling me that they are changing that and i do not be served diabetic meal, but it still shows up as diabetic meal and i got it everyday. Thank G-D diabetes is not mine.

I had to go into Rockyview today due to a severe asthma attack. I was very grateful for the team of nurses, doctor, and respiratory staff that treated me. I was immediately taken into triage, thankfully, because my ability to breath was so bad. I felt very blessed that my condition was taken seriously and within an hour I had a room. The medical teams everywhere are still so extremely understaffed, so to me that felt very fast despite the circumstances. I had a blood panel done, an EKG, and was coached by a very competent respiratory therapist all within 5 hours, and was then cleared. I couldn't ask for a better experience today and feel better than I have in a week. read more

Lack of caring all around. Patient screaming in pain repeatedly and the pain ignored over and over, never alleviated, days of misery . Not enough staff. Staff expect visitors to do their work. Nurse left patient with limited mobility on toilet and never came back. End of life "care" that is anything but. If I could give a negative rating I would. read more

excellent staff. nurses are excellent. excellent food. excellent experience overall.

None of the staff are ever on the same page, they lie to patients about their treatment plans, misinform them, and then leave them guessing. They are incredibly slow to get assistance with, and it is virtually impossible to advocate for ones self because they just don't listen. It's their opinion or nothing. As a woman with particular needs I wasn't given choices or products that I needed and was therefore left to bind my own chest with a single ice compress and a pair of my own pajama pants, after repeatedly asking for proper supplies and being left with blank looks. I had asked for the pills that I knew I needed to avoid the problem in the first place days prior to this and I was told that it was "up to their discretion and they didn't feel like I needed it..." until I could no longer take the pain and then guess what? They didn't have it on hand. The food is also horrendous in this place. I strongly suggest getting a skip the dishes account if you're gonna be spending any time here. read more

My diabetic husband went to the emergency and they asked him to stay for operation nobody knows when . They left him for two days without eating only drinking water and having ice chips till his sugar dropped down to 4 , only then the nurse put some sugar in the IV and prepared him for surgery which starts at 8 PM and ends at 12AM and they wanted to discharge him at 3 o'clock of the same day even though didn't walk only for once and was having morphine through the IV from the sever pain . I begged the doctor and the nurse approved his staying for the day . In the afternoon , at nurse shifting at Unit 83 we had the bad luck to have a nurse called LOVELY bearing nothing from her name. She talks in a sarcastic way and doesn't know the name of the medicines . She is so ignorant how a nurse in charge doesn't follow up what medication the patient should have . My husband tried to walk outside with lots of pain several times and when I was preparing to leave LOVELY the nurse said don't worry he's in a good hand . The moment I left she transferred my husband to the corredore with a bed that's equipped with nothing and a toilet located at the end of the corredore. So when my husband walked all that distance he was really in pain and asked her for a pain killer but she replied there's a nurse shifting after a while so the new one will give you and you are set to be discharged tomorrow though the doctor said he needs to stay for another day . It's against the Canadian and tax payers' rights to be treated like that . The hospital lacks a good management as the doctor decides something but its seems that the last word is for the nurse in charge . The floors are sticky and the meals tables as well . Hope the management have a reconsideration for whom they are hiring. read more

The Rockyview Hospital deserves a 5 star for their overall patient experience. The day started off with keeping an eye on the Calgary Hospital wait time tracker and it seems that the Rockyview consistently has the shortest wait times of all the hospitals. So I drove across the city to visit their emergency room....to my surprise...it wasn't even as long as they said....barely anyone in emergency and I was seen as quickly as I arrived. From the emergency staff and doctors to the time I had emergency surgery to recovery....I absolutely have no issues or complaints at all...not a single bit. I have to applaud the Hospital for working hard at reducing their wait times and providing better patient experience. The last few times I visited emergency the waits were insane and I fearing the worst when I went, but received better medical service then imagined. Tip: do a bit of research and check out the hospital wait times and take the extra drive....you'll save yourself the wait. read more

I recently stayed here for 6 days due to some mystery disease that they are still trying to figure out. Care was excellent, though on occasion rather perfunctory, and most important: I got better each day. I went to my family doctor prior to going to the emergency room, so my wait there was not as long as some (I got a note from my doctor). The first day was hell, due to a battery of tests that were performed on me all the way up to 5 in the morning. I was moved every couple of days because I was the youngest patient in the wing, but aside from that, I was kept comfortable and full of all the icy cold water I could swig down. The doctors and nurses were pretty gentle and understanding when I was terrified and in massive amounts of pain, some even held my hand during tests. The food was mediocre at best, but provided me with the strength I needed to get better and out by Sunday. The staff here is enormously busy, in fact, busy doesn't describe it. But despite the long shifts, the cranky patients and the constant wanting for this and that; most kept their cool and friendly bedside manner. Which I think contributed a great deal to my recovery. So thank you, Rockyview General. I hope to never have to see you again :). read more

Again my sincere appreciation for my experience at the Rockyview. read more

My mother was admitted to the new hospital wing at RV for awhile this springtime, and I was so impressed in the care and attention she got at this new facility. She was taken into non emergency and we didn't wait very long until she was finally moved to an area which was private, and it only took her one day to get her admitted into her own room. While in emergency however, you are enclosed in a curtained area and even though you had some sort of privacy, you are able to hear the conversations of the hospital staff. This was quite a humorous thing for me, as private things were disclosed in staff dialogue and my mother and I could hear everything very loud and clear. Staff would enter my mother's area perform their professional duties, leave and continue their conversations on the so and so relationship of this doctor with this nurse, what happened the weekend before etc. I couldn't help but feel like I was in the cast of Grey's Anatomy. So let me get to the rooms at RV, wow her room was fantastic, it was a huge private room with huge windows overlooking the Rocky Mountains. The nurses, attendants and the doctors there were friendly, attentive and extremely caring; my mother had the best care and was so well taken care of. A team of specialists then spoke with me personally at another meeting and we all discussed the best possible options for my mother in terms of the future steps that needed to happen to ensure her safety and well being. 5 stars Rocky View! read more

I've been here as a patient for extended periods, and I have mixed feelings here. As such, I've broken the ratings for each section. MEDICAL CARE For the most part, I've found the nursing staff to be more or less outstanding. Being the front line who have to deal with people's body fluids, pain, abuse and more, I always have respect for them as they are always the first to always know the signs of a patient's habits and general recovery. THey also tend to be able to catch the mistakes of an overworked doctor who spends only 5-10 minutes to diagnose a situation quickly and often make huge mistakes as a result (I'll be glad to explain with friends over beer one day). Soooo... it's a 5 star rating for the nurses, but a 2 to 3 star for the doctors. ENVIRONMENT As for the hospital itself, it's a pleasant enough place, with art all over the place and plenty of dedicated volunteers (though I truly wish that the religious volunteers take the hint that I have given up organized religion once and for all and to stop praying to save my soul and see the light... they mean well but they PO me to no end). FOOD (NOT PATIENT) The cafe and food resources are actually not bad, though the amount of fast food they make available in the cafeteria is kinda suspect for a place that's supposed to encourage health. Also, the "freshly" made soups involve a freshly made industrially sized can of Campbell's and dumped into a large soup cauldron. So food wise... hmmm... I would say 4 for the cafes, and 2 1/2 for the cafeteria. COMMUNICATIONS I would have to rate the IT staff of the place a 1 star, and the now fired company that handles the patient phones a 0 if possible. Patients are not supposed to have cell phones due to the possible liability with wireless electronics in some cardiac equipment. But at the same time, the company that managed the patient phones' were fired or something, so there was no phones for any patient. Add the fact that the ONE public access computer for all of the patients was shut down because the IT staff couldn't understand how to put access restrictions on websites and I was stuck with ZERO means of communications to the outside world for over a week! Short of smuggling messages through my partner when she visited, it was like being in a communication version of a gulag, especially as all of the public access phones were also disconnected and there was no pay phones to be seen. If I had a real emergency that needed me to communicate something, I never would have been able. OTHER The Hospital is definately placed in a beautiful area, next to a great bicycle/walking trail, overlooking the Reservoir with plenty of trees and plants. One day, I literally snuck out of my ward and climbed down the steep nature trail down the cliff to wave hi to my friends of the Red Eyes Paddling Club while they were training. After that, I did a bit more exploring around the nature trails, which go on all over the place. If I was was in better condition at the time (my endurance due to the long stay was probably 1/4 of what it would normally be), I might have explored it much more extensively, and might still do one of these weekend. So overall, thanks to my undying gratitude to the nurses, the hospital overall gets a 3 overall score. Some strengths and weaknesses, but still in the end, not a bad place to end up in if you really need to. read more

ER service. I was just in today for 12hrs due to kidney stone. While this is what hospital calls "an Alberta thing" and the doctors are generally good and have best urologists, they do have a few things to improve. Being Jan 2 wasn't the best day to be sick for those of us who were there. Low in staff, although they were friendly and quick at 2am. What I like about this hospital: it has some of the best doctors, staff is mostly friendly, sometimes you'll get the odd nurse that spills your blood all over or pulls iv off so hard you bleed and it hurts like nobody's business... they often check on you to see how you're doing. I wouldn't go to another hospital, it's clean and some of the nurses and doctors are super efficient, so big kudos to them! What I don't like about it: I was supposed to get ultrasound right away and it took 10hrs to get in... it seems a little silly having to wait that long, but sadly is what hospitals are like here in Calgary at least, in my experience. Having patients with kidney stones is probably something really common there. I asked for water because I was getting so thirsty with drugs I needed something but they refused to give me water, again, really silly considering, drinking water is better for patients with kidney stones! Needless to say I hope not to be back there for a while... so I better keep drinking water with lime juice (for those with kidney stones, lime juice helps to dissolve them - this was a tip from a urologist). read more

I've been to the Rockyview several times long before I discovered Yelp, but to be fair my memories of the exact details are foggy, and it was so long ago it wouldn't really serve as a great indicator of how things probably are right now, so I won't comment on any of the other departments I've visisted. This review with focus on the most recent visit I had, and the two areas I had experience with. The so-called "Information Desk" was staffed by just about the least friendly and welcoming staff to ever work under such a sign. I walked up and waited there for what must have been a good 2 to 3 minutes without so much as a glance from the woman at the computer (whom I was standing right in front of, less than 2 feet away) until I finally ducked down to get my face into her view and gave her the customary "Umm.... excuse me?" at which point she glanced up at me with an irritated look without so much as tilting her head up. I asked where the cardiovascular lab was and was given the most curt, to the point, borderline snappy "Down that hall!" I've ever heard. No further particulars than that... no indication of what door, how far I had to go, nothing. I eventually found the lab, and got checked in for my appointment. THESE ladies were quite the opposite, all smiles and helpfulness... in fact, when I arrived about 30 minutes early for my appointment they STILL got me in before I even had time to crack a magazine. Not only great service in general, but a welcome surprise from a medical establishment. The test I was having done required wearing a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours that would check my BP every 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the equipment didn't live up to the service. I had to be fitted twice before they found a monitor that worked, and even then they concluded the cuff was MUCH too small for my arm (which I had to learn the hard, and rather painful, way), and it then took quite some time to find one that fit.... sort of (it still got much tighter than usual and left me with bright red bruising all around my arm and a numb feeling that lasted almost 3 days after it was taken off). My only complaint with the CV lab staff is their complete lack of communication and follow-through. I had to take a day off work to get the monitor put on, and was told over the phone it would be no big deal to return it after work the following day, but sure enough I show up and am given paperwork to fill out that states it has to be back by 8am the following morning, which simply wasn't possible. I told the nurse this, and that I couldn't afford to take another day off just to return the monitor, and she seemed rather concerned, but went and talked to a colleague and determined it should be okay, and promised to note on my file that it would be back in the afternoon. Sure enough, at 9am I get a call from the Rockyview asking where their monitor was.... and then another one at 11 "reminding me how critical it is that I return this equipment immediately". Good job, folks. All in all, it could have been a lot worse, and I've seen similar situations be far worse elsewhere. Wait times here are NOTHING compared to the Foothills or PLC, and (most of) the staff are knowledgable, helpful, and friendly. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to come here first over the other two big hospitals in town, I just wish they could get their act together in terms of communication and training their front line staff to be a little more courteous toward patients. read more

A family member was brought in by EMS early this morning . She has Severe abdominal pain caused by a bad uterus. (Pending removal). Until then pain goes shooting off the charts. 10/10 pain.

Had a very horrible experience yesterday when I called regarding my surgery appointment this week. The receptionist for Dr John Dushinski was very rude. I have never had anyone speak to me in such a way. I was trying to explain my health history in relation to an upcoming appointment and she would not hear me out and was very very rude over the phone. Her name is Bev . I have no idea why someone with no etiquette, patience or compassion would be dealing with people over the phone for their health issues. Very disappointing... Did some research and it seems that there have been a lot of complaints. Dr. John Dushinski should think about who is representing his office when people call. It is difficult enough for patients to go through what they are going through to have someone this rude answering on the other end. https://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/62529/Dr-John-Dushinski-Calgary-AB.html read more

I work in healthcare, and have never witnessed nor experienced worse nursing care in my life. Triage and admitting were very kind and helpful when I arrived with severe right abdominal pain following a stent placement earlier in the day. They suggested I sit close to the nursing desk so staff would realize I was having a significant amount of pain. I sat right across from the nursing station, crying and calling out when spasms were severe, and was completely ignored. Finally, my vitals were taken and an IV inserted. The nurse did not offer me analgesia (though I complained of 9/10 pain) and told me to go back to the waiting area as it "shouldn't be long. Over an hour later my boyfriend asked what would be done about my pain. Staff very rudely replied "just a minute". I got to lay down shortly after but was not seen by any staff. A kind housekeeper passed by and offered a warm blanket for my abdomen. I was in the ER for almost two hours, bawling, with no analgesia or even explanation from staff. I walked out to go home for my own ineffective medication, and staff did not even know I was gone until an hour later. Shame on you, Rockyview. Your staff watched me writhe in agony for over two hours without blinking an eye. You are poor patient advocates and exhibit no compassion for the people you care for. read more

I don't think visiting the hospital is an experience anyone really enjoys, but that doesn't mean that some visits aren't better than others. I'm going to keep this review short and simple by focusing on the location, building/environment, staff and how efficient the process was overall for our most recent visit. Without getting into details, we had to visit the ER late Saturday night. Before heading out we checked the wait times online with AHS to see what the best option was. Rockyview had the ideal wait time and was conveniently located nearby so we headed over. Getting there was easy, just off 14 St, South of Glenmore Trail. Parking was also very ample, being in a somewhat non-central area works in your favor here. I was a little disappointed we still had to pay for parking in the dead of the night, it would be nice to have free parking after a certain hour until early morning. Compared to some of the other hospital facilities in Calgary I find Rockyview to be cleaner and better maintained, a big plus in regards to health and also a comforting feeling that you're in a good environment. Good first impression for sure. The patient admittance process was very smooth and efficient, the front line staff were very friendly and got us through right away! Once in the examination room a nurse arrived promptly and completed her due diligence in a timely and professional fashion. Great job on setting things up for the pending doctor examination and diagnosis. The doctor was noticeably young, not a bad thing but I've had some issues with younger doctors before due to inexperience. It wasn't long until he alleviated any doubts I had though. He was quick, professional and had done his homework on the file by reviewing an important piece of information from a previous exam that would aide in his diagnosis. We were here because of an ongoing/previously diagnosed issue that had come up again. In short we had been to 4 different doctors already and the diagnosis was split, this was now the 5th doctor visit! We had done our share of research, so we had a good idea of what it was, what it wasn't but still there was a piece of the puzzle missing which led us here on this evening. After a quick review of the file we final had our missing piece, he was confident in his diagnosis and what he said made more sense than any previous explanation. Previous explanations came with hesitation and this one did not, we were happy to finally be affirmed with an adequate answer and resolution to the medical concern. So to close, the environment was clean, comforting and well maintained. Everyone was very friendly and knew how to add light humor to an unpleasant situation, a nice touch with some delicacy. Beyond the light conversation everyone was at all times professional, efficient and well aware of the potential emergency at hand. We got through to examination in very timely fashion and even a bit ahead of estimated wait times. Lastly we final got a firm answer that 4 doctors prior could not provide. Thank you Rockyview General Hospital :). read more

Once you get past admission, you're well taken care of. I hate going to emergency here because triage takes forever to get to you. We once waited for 8 hours before getting medical attention but that's pretty common in a lot of Canadian hospitals now. Once you get in though, they take really good care of you. Porters, nurses, doctors, and other hospital staff are prompt, precise, and typically have good bedside manner. read more

Terrible place for emergency service. Doctors and nurses are just busy in tea, coffee and laughter. Waiting time more than 6hours. Trying to give very hard time to the patients. Way of nurses to speaking with client was very rude and odd. I think Alberta medical service should be private!! At least we will get a good service. I think emergency of Nigeria and India is 100 times better than Alberta. I will never ever go to Rockyview Hospital in emergency. I would suggest suicide but not to go for emergency in RGH, better is to die. read more

I took my 90 year old mother to the Rockyview when we were concerned she may have pneumonia. The staff was efficient, friendly, and kind, from the triage nurse and the porters who wheeled her to various places for tests, to the doctors themselves. My mother cannot stop talking about the great service and thorough care she received. They did every test imaginable to try to determine the problem and everyone who dealt with her treated her kindly. She also noted the cleanliness of the hospital and the numerous signs posted to help us find our way in the maze of hallways. Sam (can't remember his last name), the doctor who dealt with her, was very thorough and had exceptional beside manners. We couldn't have asked for a better emergency room experience. read more

When he was finally seen by a doctor, the drippy nosed old coot purportedly removed the metal and sent him home with some antibiotic ointment. When I was helping him with the ointment later I found a piece of metal still in his eye. This is unacceptable. This doctor obviously did not know what he was doing and failed to help his patient. Will be contacting the hospital's patient relations as well as the Alberta college of physicians to complain! read more

I gave birth to my last baby in here, and I can say it's a wonderful experience! From the nurses, midwives , doctors to the attendants, they all made me feel welcome and when I asked for a semi private room, although it was a busy season then, they made sure I'm alone if they can, that, I really appreciate. There's this wonderful nurse named Lisa, who made me feel well taken care of, esp since I just had my C-Section, she's so gentle and professional in helping me with the tasks you would rather do in private but couldn't, for that, I'm very thankful. She's even nice enough to say it's her off for the next 2 days and knowing I'll leave the next day , she made the extra effort to say her goodbye. I never forgot her , and my son is nearly 5 now! There's just this 1 nurse tho that's too lazy she wouldn't even clean the washroom I was just at, I have to tell her twice.. and she didn't even offer help unless you ask and she just breeze by.. maybe the best treatment made me greedy for more, but that made my stay a little bit of a stress and can't wait to get out of there. I seriously thought, "why is she working there in the first place"? You can't expect to have the best on everyone I guess.. but overall, I'm glad of their service. Keep it up! read more

I don't think anyone usually likes doctors but my experience here has been far from comfortable. I was misdiagnosed 5 times at this hospital for having a hormonal imbalance in June. Here I am two months later with a secondary kidney disease and possibly MS. The nurses and doctors were nothing but rude, blaming me and telling me I have an eating disorder because I lost 64 pounds from being so sick and that "girls like me come to the hospital all the time." Today having another flare up I decided to go to rocky view and see if the attitude changed, it didn't. Don't recommend. read more

I gave birth to my first child here. In July. I went in at 11pm, and I was in a room until 12am when the doctor said my water had broke after taking samples. She told me to walk and get some toast and come back in an hour when my room is ready. I went home because I lived about 15 minutes away and got my things with my husband. And went back and the nurse on duty told me my room was ready and asked me if my feet hurt or anything like that. When I got to my room, there were 4 nurses there and a doctor. During my labor they always asked me if I needed anything every few minutes. There was always a nurse in the room with me. About 3pm they told me my baby was coming and I had 3 nurses and two doctors. They helped me threw the pain and one was always holding my hand. And saying encouraging things. One of the nurses name was Tova. She was amazing and so helpful,and not mean or rude when I kept asking questions. Over all I love this hospital and there birthing staff. Recommend this hospital to so many people. read more
