Across many reviews, patients and families emphasize that nurses and other staff are kind, respectful, and professional.

Communication quality varies

Several reviews say patients received clear explanations about procedures and discharge, with staff also answering questions.

There are also complaints about missing translated information and about discharge paperwork not being provided when expected.

Parking and signs frustrate visits

Wayfinding and parking can be a recurring frustration.
