Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital

This is the second time I’ve been waiting for my hernia surgery the first one I came to he canceled by 2pm because he wanted to go home when it was supposed to have been Done at 10:30am I am in alot of pain as Ive been waiting over a year. I’m back again he is over an hour late again, I’m just hoping it does not get cancelled again. I feel my doctor should be more punctual.

This hospital has the reputation for being the worst in BC. It has a very high infection rate, and equipment is continuously breaking down especially in the blood lab. The blood lab processes blood for the whole region yet the equipment is always failing. The hospital is aware & doesn’t care, and just accepts that patients won’t get their test results when they need them. Patients are not a priority at this hospital.

Amazing staff, but very hard to navigate right now. Might change rating depending on the new reno

I came for a broken wrist surgery. The scheduling was a bit off. Nevertheless I received an excellent care and treatment. Dr. Mcvicar, Dr. Reed and their OR team were very professional and effective. The nurses Tammy and Dawn were very helpful and patient. I am very grateful for such an excellent service from a small hospital in a small rural town.

Dr. Peter Krampl and Dr. Melissa Herr are excellent and caring emergency room physicians. This is a very busy emergency room and yet they take the time to treat patients with care, concern and patience. We are fortunate to have such excellent and thorough care in our community.
