Josh

I had a horrible experience all the staff were rude. I was there with my roommate and I look beside his bed and there was a open needle just laying there. His fiance was there and she couldn't lay by him when they have done it in the same situation at other hospitals plenty.

ESL Teacher Sam

I had excellent experience in the emergency room this past weekend. I wait a couple of hours but appreciate the fact that I was treated & test to help my lung infection. The doctor diagnosed my lung infection with blood work, X-Rays and talking to me about my issues and prescribed me the right medication and ventilator/puffer. I feel a lot better thanks for making my wait and experience in the hospital a positive one.

Ridiculous experience went there with some emergency and came back after waiting 4hours So called triage nurse didn't even ask why I had been there they just entertained with some irrelevant queries and when I told them that I want to go back they were so happy I wonder with the Canadian culture I am an Indian I think the medical workers should go to my country to get trained properly before working here

(Translated) Some of the attending staff are nice and others really not pleasant. While you are suffering, they laugh, chat, scold you and don't even sympathize with your pain. You feel helpless. (Original) Certains membres du personnel traitant sont gentils et ďautres vraiment pas agréables. Pendant que tu souffres, ils rient, causent, te grondent et ne compatis même pas à ta douleur. Tu te sents impuissant.

There are definite pros and cons to St. Boniface hospital, depending on your need. The parking lot areas are often, lacking the feeling of safety you would expect to see and it's not uncommon to see drug use right outside of the hospital itself. With that said, staff are often decent and I certainly felt comfortable during my recent surgery there and that's an important quality.

Friendly staff and easy procedures. I had an awsome experience there, but some people are complaining abot ER services.

Steve Noel

Always have had the best experiences here, when I've had bad ones. Great and friendly staff

Teresa Burnside

Completely dropped the ball on treatment of my child. Even their neurologist was absolutely disgusted with the original treatment as to how she/we were left in - without any guidance or pain management and I'm very disappointed. I have always thought this to be a great hospital and WRHA has really made a mess of things!!!!

Great place to get sick.

My experiences at this hospital have always been good. Doc and nurses are all very caring and professional. Volunteers are always very helpful.

Nisrine Nisrine

Excellent services.

Nikita Ross

My mother in law had a massive stroke on March 24th while swimming in a race. It is now April 5th and it is time to say goodbye to her. She’s been in a coma ever since day 2 and the bleed in her brain is taking up half of the room in her head. She is paralyzed on her right side and couldn’t speak prior to the coma. She is rapidly going downhill. She was a wonderful person and I love her tremendously. It is so hard watching her every day in the state she’s in. The hospital staff are so supportive and caring. I can’t imagine getting through this without them.

Mandy Lulić

I went to emergency because of their shorter wait times & A general dislike for "other hospitals". I was very much taken back by how loving & caring the ER nurses + The drs are with their patients!!!! I unfortunately did overhear some conversations but out of respect you always keep to yourself. I was in absolute disbelief how kindly the drs and nurses spoke. They are all very genuine people who are definitely in the right field!!!! I know some of these nurses & Drs are probably working overtime, Doing doubles or short staffed due to the crazy pandemic times & Every single one of them were happy & Supportive. What a fantastic group of medical professionals to have. We need more drs & Nurses like the St Boniface emergency staff.

My wife gave birth to our daughter here and the nursing staff were absolutely fantastic. Very friendly, helpful and genuinely caring.

Emily CPY

For the most part all my experience with this hospital have been the same as any other Winnipeg hospital (wait times etc). Except for the doctor who feels entitled to shove her religious bigotry down patient's throats. YOUR RELIGION HAS NO PLACE IN OTHER PEOPLE'S HEALTH CARE! I was assigned to go there for a cancer screening and had a doctor literally yell at me about how "You're going to regret this!" when she found out I was using birth control - strictly preventative birth control. I get that it's a Catholic hospital and they don't like helping people avoid unwanted pregnancies, but it was completely unrelated to why I was there. She knew nothing at all about me except that I might have cancer, yet wasted a bunch of time (and tax payer dollars) to lecture and bully me for avoiding an unwanted pregnancy. She also try to get me to disclose what doctor had 'allowed such a thing' and clearly wanted to get them in trouble. It was beyond unprofessional! She made it abundantly clear she was more interested in my breeding status than my long term health and survival. I can't even imagine how horrifically she must treat any queer or trans patients who have the misfortune of meeting her. I appreciate whatever church funding this hospital has benefited from, but it is extremely unethical for any doctor to carry on the way this person did. I have zero trust she'd do what was in a any patient's best interest treatment wise if it might impact the fertility she values more than the person's actual life. I filed a complaint, but never heard back from anyone.

John Dobbin

They have been very caring for my dad in very difficult times.

Ayman Ayash

My wife did her ultrasound here and we had a very bad experience... staff made us feel like we were begging them to do their job though we are paying thousands in tax for them to do their job... very bad reputation to public health in Manitoba and Canada...

Sodapop422 C

Terrible place

Wendy Savage

I wouldn't even give it a one star rating today. The emergency wait times said 1 1/2 hrs to 3 hrs max. We are here for something serious. We have now been here over 4 hrs. People who came in after us are gone already and were in for what appeared to be a bug of some sort. Nurse is very unfriendly and downright rude. Staff spendinf LOTs of time socializing - talking about trips, coffee makers and other stuff while we are still waiting to be seen by ANYONE. There was a young man brought to the same room at the same time as us who got his stitches and has been fine for 2 hours already. Absolutely disgusting.

Harkamal Dhillon

Very long wait times. The doctors didn’t even treat the problem. Got sent home without any treatment.

Ryan Beaumont

Nurses and clerks at the emergency room were very inconsiderate and rude. There were hardly any other patients there and they essentially told my wife that she should have gone somewhere else to see a doctor and that she should have planned better. They didn't believe some of the things she told them and made her feel unappreciated and uncared for. The triage nurse was especially good at not listening to my wife's situation and making assumptions. They never smiled and never showed any ounce of concern. Very negative experience and would avoid this emergency room next time.

R Richard

I've been a patient at Ste Boniface and the Asper Centre; and my treatment was excellent!! great staff and the surgical teams were very professional, aftercare -step one- was truly reassuring; if i have a choice of hospitals, I'd go back to Ste Boniface Hospital and Asper Centre any time;

Rob Blaich

FYI - The proper title of the hospital is St-Boniface Hospital. The name "General" was dropped roughly two years ago now. Now, I may be considered biased because I work alongside the hospital at the Research Centre, but I still wanted to take a moment to share a story. In January of 2010, my wife and I had our first child. A little girl. She was born three weeks early. While she was actually fully developed, and perfectly healthy, she unfortunately got a lung infection - from what we believe was a lack of antibiotics given to my wife. Her water broke over 24 hours prior to birth, and she was never given anything. So, the next 8 days were spent in the NICU. Here is where magic happened. This is public, so I won't share too much, but my daughter had a really rough start. Tubes and monitors everywhere. But, the nurses and doctors were remarkable. They kept us up to date. They answered our questions. They watched over her while went home to rest. They called when a blip happened, but let us know she was fine. It went as smooth as it could. Now I have a 3 year old who's in great shape. You'd never know there was an issue. I'd also like to state that coincidentally, my wife's best friend had a baby there was well. However this baby was born 4 months early. Said friend and baby lived in St-Boniface Hospital for months, and beat the odds, as this baby wasn't expected to live. Thanks to the NICU and staff, this baby is now 3 years old too, and plays with my daughter all the time. I think very highly of this hospital. As said, not just because I work there.

Alexis Thomas

The nurses at this hospital were so nice to me during my stay. Had surgery, but since it wasn't an emergency yet urgent, It took days for me to recieve mine. One of the nurses caught me crying out of anxiety and told me she has anxiety too and that she understands. She got me a book to read and made sure I was okay. The other nurses were on top of things, kind, and surprisingly happy and upbeat despite going through a pandemic. I never once felt like I was over reacting about my condition, belittled, or unwelcomed. I'm glad I stayed long enough to get my surgery done.

Eric Carter

Had emergency plastic surgery done here and physio afterwards. Friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff made it for a less traumatic experience.

Indoor Wayne (OverHeater)

What a joke, they will literally say anything to get you out of there. Can’t believe I just wasted that much time waiting there just to be told “ahh you’re fine”

Tanila smith

Great staff & so good at their jobs.????

ian russell

Staff are excellent.Should be leaving soon.

Trevor Walker

I was transferred there from the Vic by ambulance for an irregular heartbeat then They asked me if I could get myself onto the stretcher which I was able to do I was also thinking to myself that they were going to dump me in the icu intubate me and stick me on a ventilator for 6 months instead of the cardiology ward where I ended up for 9 days while they experimented with different medications and the food there was not that bad and they forced me to eat my meals from a visitor’s chair in my room that I shared with someone else who was probably worse than I was, the nurse’s and doctors were certainly good to me plus they were able to keep me from catching Covid while I was there i know that hospitals are not the most fun place to be in general plus only 1 of the 2 public elevators was working at the time and visitors were forced to take the staff elevator and I was only allowed 1 visitor every day so my mom or my brothers couldn’t come visit me because of Covid so I had no choice but to accept it.

Albert Riezebos

Good hospital

Anas Alzahrani

Well designed facility, better than the HSC

Gary Lomax

ACF Pediatrics, you have an appointment set for a time you show and have over an hour wait. These are parents with children of all ages and possibly taking time off work how are these wait times acceptable with an appointment made?

Jai Chomiak

Their COVID-19 protocol is a flawed disgrace. They made me walk back and forth from the main and south entrance 3 times for no reason at all. Made me late and miss my MRI appointment that I've been waiting on for over a year! How efin long do I have to wait now?

Fernweh Bus

Just called to get an obstetrician to book an ultrasound and they hung up on me. Never have I had such horrible treatment from a hospital.

I K (Kira)

This time it was fast. Last time when I came here for an ultrasound they forgot about me... for one and a half hour. At least admitted it. So if you sit and wait for more than 30 min - go and check with clerks.

Melchor Fajardo

Awesome people's

Jeff Bogdan

I had a family member that had a procedure done. The entire staff very professional, and quick, friendly, and were right there always to assist. When picking up the family member it was very easy to park in the main entrance area for one minute only...faster for pick-up than expected! DIFFENTLY this hospital is better for the certain procedure done!

Kat 1984

I had an MRI done over the weekend at St. Boniface, the staff were super friendly. I felt welcome and comfortable. Keep it up guys!!!

Nworah Chukwulobe

Nice place

L. A. D'Elia

If you have an elder who has covid and has gone to the ICU, you may as well bring them home and care for them there. They have their guidelines. The doctors wont go above and beyond. One day you will hear one thing, the next something different. We didnt want palliative care and so they made sure we got palliative care without 'palliative care'. They told us they wanted to take him off the vent. That he had a small window to come off the vent after 12 days and he would be better. They took him off. Hes on an Oxygen mask with no food and his lungs have no tube to pull out the mucus from the covid like how he had on the vent. They are waiting for him to drown. If you take your elder to St. Boniface ICU for covid, you better make sure you've said your goodbyes. Because they will kill them here. 100%.

Nada Bu.

I gave my first birth there. Nurses and doctors are so friendly. I really has a good experience at St. Boniface Hospital.

Randy L

I had my bypass surgery there 4xCABG October 2014. Still here!

Kim Keys

This hospital really needs to educate their employees to the policys that were put in place for the well being of everyone. When l go to the hospital as a visitor lam already concerned for a loved one l dont need workers taking down to me and being verbally aggressive. Every single time l visited the hospital l was told something different regarding the rules. The front door workers were exceptionally rude, cold and indifferent to visitors.

Nanci R

They have been very good with my mother, nursing staff are amazing on 7A

Jeremy Reimer

They took good care of me here. I was treated well during my unexpected trip to Emergency, the staff went above and beyond, testing me thoroughly to make sure I was safe to return home. Though the rooms themselves are showing some age, the place is clean and the cafeteria on the main floor serves some surprisingly tasty food too!

Jonathan Allaire

(Translated) The waiting time was 3 hours when we arrived. I sprained my right ankle. Our total time, including X-rays on a Saturday night, was 2.5 hours. Really fast and the best service ever had in a hospital! Thanks to all the team for the good work and your courtesy. Small flat, I did not have service in French despite that I said that I spoke French first language. (Original) Le temps d'attente disait 3 heures à notre arrivé. Je me suis fais une entorse à la cheville droite. Notre temps total, incluant les radiographies un samedi soir, était de 2h30 minutes. Vraiment rapide et le meilleur des service jamais eu dans un hôpital ! Merci à toute l'équipe pour le bon travail et votre courtoisie. Petit bémol, je n'ai pas eu de service en français malgré que j'ai dit que je parlait en français de première langue.

Merouane Abed

Worst emergency service in the city. Triage extremely slow with clerks and nurses laughing when you're suffering. Communication is not the best skill here and the slowness is just crazy. Not sure if we can still call it " Emergency"...

Alex Hambleton

Doctors lies to patients about ultrasounds and say there is nothing wrong but yet with held information that our OB told us about 1 month late and now my wife is on bed rest for a month bc of it and it could have cost us our unborn child

Jillian Giesbrecht

Absolutely rediculous wait times no matter when you go. Last time I waited 11 hours in the emergency department I was brought in by ambulance. No one came to check on me, I was extremely hungry and no one gave me something to ate I had to actually leave to go find someone and ask if I could have something to eat and they never came back it took me three times to find someone to get help. Rediculous I was in the emergency waiting room waited several hours and not a single person left the waiting room, I was not given anything for my pain, I asked to leave and they wanted me to stay the triage nurse was very snarky with me and said she would see my back tmmr if I signed out. I went straight to Victoria general hospital and was seen very quickly, diagnosed and discharged with medications. I received a call from the MRI appointment and asked where there was free parking near the hospital and the lady on the phone actually laughed at me, I was unable to get a ride for a appointment I had no idea I was booked for she demanded I come because they had an opening and she furious with me and swore under her breath when I said I am unable to get a ride on such short notice. Disgusting behavior from multiple locations and staff within this hospital. Very disappointing, a health care facility should be able to treat patients with dignity and respect.

Thierry Keller

good service

Snow Devil

Flett says she asked the nursing staff whether the treatment she was receiving was due to her Indigenous heritage and whether this was "going to be a repeat" of what happened to Sinclair. "They said, 'Don't you dare go there,' and I said, 'Guess what? I went there, because I'm not getting the adequate care from your care team,'" Pitiful… just pitiful

Skyler Frankenberger

Most of the staff are very nice & the facility is very clean.

Mr Strength

Thankful to have this hospital in our city, recently had a friend receiving treatment for a few weeks and was always impressed with just how caring and attentive the staff are here.

Courtney Budden-Aningat

Had my daughter at this hospital! Easier to navigate, great food gallery, nice gift shops, shoppers drug mart, and vending machines. The security is good, labor and delivery nurses have a good bed manners, and they make you feel comfortable! I was alone for the first two days so a nurse named Anne made my stay very welcoming, I didn’t feel so scared or lonely. If you see this, I’m Courtney! The then 16-year-old with the little girl named Sarah.

Kait W

Would rate -0 if i could.Horrible internal medicine and was not given any kind of rehabilitation after surgery. Then forced to eat dry roast beef after neck surgery with intabation. Now being neglected for a presager because of my age. Horridle place just like the rest. On top of that was refused mental health help. When asked i was told " no one is going to help you" after confessing to poisoning myself. Then slapped in the face and had my hair pulled by another. Reported but nothing was done. TOTTALY UNEXEPTABLE!

Alison Hinz

I had my first baby here a few weeks ago. He was very big and it was a difficult delivery. I was in a lot of pain, and was treated by most of the nurses like I was just being whiny and dramatic. When I asked for something for the pain (after the epidural didn't work), they dragged their feet and suggested I "use the pain" to try to push my baby out. After enduring many hours of pain which completely sapped me of any energy I might have had, I ended up in the OR where my baby was born using forceps. We both nearly died (baby's heart rate got dangerously low and my husband had to move me around to get it back up while the nurses chatted outside the room), and I suffered severe injuries, including nerve damage, hemorrhage, and a third degree tear. All of it could have been avoided if my pain had been taken seriously instead of being brushed off. Following that, we struggled to get much help in our recovery room. The staff were very stingy with supplies and we were constantly having to ask for towels, diapers, etc. On more than one occasion we were promised things by the nurses (like a shower for me, a bath for my baby, and a fan to cool our 80 degree sauna of a room) who then promptly disappeared for hours only to show up to tell us their shift was over. Breaks and shift changes seemed to be top priority, well above patient care, and many nurses seemed eager to make us the next shifts's problem. The only positive thing I can say is that the two lactation consultants we saw were very caring and helpful. Overall, the sheer apathy shown by many of the staff was just appalling. I will never go to this hospital again if I can help it.

Bishop Westcoast

I was there last night with a very intense headache such as I never felt ever. The intensity kept growing and couldn't sleep so I went to St. B. Only to find this very rude nurse at triage whose mouth looked like Thanos' jaw. No smile no courtesy no empathy. I tried to explain my pain but she kept trying to force her opinion on me and cutting me off. I had to walk away at midnight after 2hrs especially when there were 20 people ahead and looks like I will be there till noon next day. Sought help elsewhere.

Francois A-C

Now this hospital has been understaffed and underoomed since the federal government has made the drastic changes to our health care system. The nurses admit they have way more on their plate and are being over worked. They also admitted that they don't have enough rooms. We had the unfortunate displeasure of having to have our 2nd child delivered at this hospital. For the labour we were out into a private delivery room that is in the old part of the hospital and is in desperate need of basic upgrades. After the birth of our child they rushed us into a cramped room with three other family's. Even after requesting a private room numerous times since we had arrived. ( lack of rooms available ) There was a complete lack of communication between the nurses/front reception because every time we had inquired for a private room no one seemed to have got the memo. ( overworked staff ) When a private room did come available there were not enough staff on to clean our " cubby " and they would not have time for us to be moved. If we have the option in the future we will pick a different hospital or province to deliver our future children because this is unacceptable. Our government needs to properly fund our hospitals so they can give us the care we deserve and run properly.

V C

Don't go here if you are indigenous.

Marvin Gross

Dr's, Nurses and staff all kind and profesional people !

Newton F

All those crosses! Everywhere! Creepy! See review below from Randy L. Randy eats too much and drinks too much alcohol. No wonder he had that bypass surgery 2014.

randyx316

The worst ever every rude do yourself a favor stay far away from this hole

Chad Baxter

Friendly helpful staff

Hannah

My Mom spent a lot of time here before her passing due to pancreatic cancer. During those times we had good experiences and bad. After a procedure at a different institution my Mom was brought back to St.B. When she arrived with my Aunt the greeters would not allow my Aunt to stay with my Mom, which is reasonable. What was unreasonable is that the greeter then told the nurses that my Aunt had just "left my Mom there because she didn't have time to wait". My Mom was sedated and tried to explain the situation to no avail. My good experiences are centered around the treatment of my Mom during her many stays in the hospital. Every nurse that met her seemed to love her. I would go to visit my Mom and nurses would greet me with "Oh you must be so & so's daughter!" My Mom felt very welcomed there and I felt good knowing she was being treated with dignity and respect.

LINDA ELOFSON

St.Boniface Hospital is the ONLY hospital I would go to for my healthcare needs. Out of the many hospitals, in many towns, this one is the best. I have seen multiple specialists, had regular follow-ups, multiple procedures(biopsies, cystoscopy, bronchoscopy), surgery, bloodwork, EEG, MRIs, CTs, ultrasounds & etc...over the course of 20 yrs....(other than 2 snarky secretaries) I have had positive experiences at St.Boniface. They are respectful, courteous, professional and I received excellent care EVERYTIME, I found them to be kind, informed and easy to talk to. Even though I travel 3 hours to get there, the other options are....not really options!! I am very thankful for the doctors, nurses, staff at St.Boniface...(those secretaries need to get with the program)

Yohanine Roos

I went with my husband this morning to the emergency room and the service was excellent! The staff, nurses and Dr. was so helpful and friendly. The waiting time according to the screen in the waiting room were 2.5 hours but I only waited an hour to be seen. I really recommend this hospital.

Let's Get Going

Had a heart attack and there was no waiting all the staff was very professional They are over worked and still spreads them selves thin to help all their patients Thank you

Pablo Listingart

Looks dated, but overall it is a more than decent hospital

즐공

I went to the emergency room after three months of severe pain. I waited 7hours but they just gave me a painkiller pill. The hospital doesn't examine sick patients or sick areas. Doctor didn't know how much my pain is, just sent me home without checking me out. Don't call it the emergency room. It's a place to kill people.

Baylee

I've been here lots to help my parents help my grandpa, and I haven't had bad exsperiances. But, because I haven't stayed here myself (expect for when I was born, but I obviously dont have any memories of that) I dunno if it's actually very good. So that's why I'm going it 4 stars. No bad exsperiances personally, but haven't only heard good things

Johann Generao

I had complete confidence behind the staff, nurses and doctors at St. Boniface. They are friendly, attentive and thoroughly explain what they are doing and why they are doing it. Food at Cafe Oasis is cheap and delicious. There's also a Tim Hortons and Shoppers Drug Mart on the main level. You can take advantage of 2 hour parking around the neighborhood if possible. The walk towards the Hospital is never bad.

Aleesia De Meyer

Nurse's and doctors are very helping and friendly. Although the security on duty are too laxed and just don't take their jobs seriously. We are sitting in the emergency room, three security guards are having a chat in the corner, they get a call and they respond saying "I'm on my way." Then continue their chat for another 5 to 7 minutes before actually waking up and attending to the call. Its scary to see people not making an effort to take their jobs seriously when they work in a hospital.

Jeff Carnahan (The Dark Side)

If you need to go to a hospital in Winnipeg, this is your best choice.

walter duck

Excellent

Jason Snaith

The doctors, nurses, and anesthesiologists are some of the most experienced, professional, and caring in the business. As both a patient and supporting loved one, my thanks to the staff of St Boniface. Navigating the hospital was easy thanks to the many signs and coloured ground guide lines. Affordable parking, a cafeteria, a Shopper's Drugmart, and nearby Poke-stops makes the wait manageable.

mize Da Silva

Comparing this hospital to seven oaks hospital there’s no comparison at all.... very friendly, professional, they make sure they take care of business no fooling around.... they’re on top of everything, their goal is to truly look after you the best they can.... plain and simple they CARE.... and for most part I feel that I’m in Canada, the old Canada that I came to.... !!!!!

Amy Marie

They’ve always been great. I’ve delivered twice and just had my appendix removed last night. The people in the OR wiped my tears away when I was scared to go under. All workers are amazing and very accommodating

sukhpreet singh

Shaina nurse at night duty in mother and child care unit is super nice and doing justice with her profession at saint Boniface hospital she is very helpful and polite with mom’s and babies.

Canaan Lowe

It's a hospital! but actually I was taken in almost immediately! which around any hospital is a rarity. also the ultrasound technician was the quiet funny type and so am I. so we got on famously can't believe how quiet it was. normally any part of st Boniface hospital is so nuts everyone and their dog is there for a headache or a broken nail!! lot's of hypochondriacs out there I can assure you of that!!

Anthony Castillo

When my youngest baby was born, this hospital made it so easy for us even though the queue to get an available bed for the patient was almost impossible but everything went smoothly.

Wendy Krupnik

I find this hospital is just getting so dirty. I don't understand how a hospital can be allowed to get so dirty. As you come in, they also make you switch out your personal non medical mask to a disposable one, yet, you walk through the hospital with your jacket and purse or packsack which could also be carrying germs. You would expect stuff to have to be wiped down or something. Mostly all the staff is great though, I just wish they had a more meticulously cleaner facility to work in.

lisa taylor

Emergency has a very bad attitude towards psychiatric patients. They don't want them there.

Rita Gordon

I had a nurse after my general anesthesia who took care of me before I was discharged. Nicest guy and so caring. He is one of those nurses who is really meant to be a nurse. His name was Esmond or Esmondo. I wish I could remember but if you ever get an asian man (younger/middle aged) and thats his name, you will know, what a great soul.

Pavel Shumarov

We were here once. Staff were quite friendly and waiting queue wasn't that long despite a NY week.

Porsh Puppy

The triage nurse in the ER suggested I loose weight while I was crying my eyes out thinking I was dying. I’ve lost a lot and plan on continuing once I have my physical health back enough to be able to work out again and actually prepare proper meals for myself. She was just as fat as I am. PS: I hate you healthlinks for working me into a panic attack and telling me I needed to go to the emergency room ASAP when I just wanted to ask questions about my back pain symptoms.

Mike Janssen

It is a medical care facility. Best possible care is given. You could not expected better at a hospital.

harpreet Kaur

Very poor quality at hospital they don't care anymore they don't have nudge bed this it like wow bad

Jeka Stojanovic

This is a racist hospital who turned away a Metis patient for questioning why they were not properly treating her and her infected foot. They demanded to go through her phone as they accused her of taking photos and found nothing. They then told her to leave.. with her infected foot after letting her sit in the ER for hours with no help. She went to Seven Oaks instead and was assisted immediately. Calous and uncaring triage staff don't belong in hospitals. Shame on St. Boniface. Shame.

asim irfan

I was in this hospital for my scan test they were all very professional and cooperative. I really like the service,but on my way out I didn't like one thing when I pay my parking fee the machine say please come again. I don't want to come to the hospital again. I requested parking authority to change this wording (please come again)to something else.

Yowt Hubert

9 hrs waiting at ER is too much

عبدالرحمن المقداد

very good

Zichri Fabian

Satisfied with nurses and every crew when my wife hospitalized when she gave birth, the food is good, and the room is good too????

Doug Werboweski

Very caring and knowledgeable staff who are overworked ... Had great service even during snow storm Oct. 11th 2019.

Hessam Kashani

One of the best hospitals in north America, very kind and experienced staff

Linda Lavallee

I have been here in emergency since 8:45 am. I was sent here by the doctor at the walk in clinic. In 5 hours I have seen this waiting room grow from 4 people to 27. Only 1 person has been taken to the back. I'm glad to see all the staff here have their coffee. It takes 2 staff to admit you here...on the take your BP and the other to type. WTF. If this was a private business, it would have gone bankrupt on day 2.

helene pastula

i was at St Boniface emergency recently with my mother who was in a lot of pain. While we were in Observation situated near the nursing station, it was very annoying to hear the nurses loudly telling personal stories, laughing and one of the nurses swearing within earshot of the patients. Very unprofessional...

Paul Patry

Despite their best efforts, I made it out alive. Sheer incompetence and ineptitude. Multiple, multiple errors. I don't deny that their were some good docs and nurses, but some you really have to wonder how they keep their license. Amongst many things, they found a shadow on my right lung. They were going to send a consult to HSC for the biopsy. Almost 9 weeks later, still no call from HSC. I called HSC and they have not received a thing. Make a few more calls, only to find out in the end that Saint Boniface forgot to send the referral. Same story for Cardiology. Forgot the referral. Could write a book.

Jacquelyn Nazz

Apparently, I tried to apply at Compass group it is St. Boniface hospital cafeteria. food were delicious, and fresh. my only criticisim was if you are looking for a job, do not attempt to apply for any position under compass group. I had my interview last week and also my signing papers now April, The HR manager never gave our schedule, unless she has a favouritisim Matt beard caucasian guy and black lady. April is a good manipulative person.

I would have given no stars but that isn't a option. This hospital is terrible. The staff are rude. They are so rude to everyone including my pregnant girlfriend. Constantly giving bad looks and making rude comments. Would recommend for maybe donald trump or any other evil person, cause they can match the rudeness here

Sabrina L

Great maternity hospital. Very helpful medical and non-medical staff. Would recommend this to friends and love ones, and would definitely give birth here again.

Andrew Podolecki

The staff were super friendly, professional, and efficient, the resident on staff was super friendly, very detailed orientated. I was seen quickly, and everything turned out great, the staff were amazing!

I don't recommend any single mothers' have their babies at St.Boniface Hospital with an abrasive meddling Social Worker lurking in the halls on the 3rd floor, looking for any baby to apprehend. If you see her don't say a word to her and ask her to leave your room A.S.A.P she is BAD NEWS!! My daughter had her baby taken unjustifiably when she went to St.Boniface!! 1st time mothers BE AWARE!!

Lacey Gillespie

Acted like some of them don't know what there doing . They booked a time for me to come to get a certain kind of shot I need and they didn't have it in stock . I spent 3 hours waiting

Natalie Legal

My experience with the nurses and doctors are very rude. They popped my vein , left the iv fluid empty for the whole night, they punched my back to see where I was in pain, which made me in more pain, and if I would ask a question they would be all rude and sassy. They would act like I'm stupid. I waited 7 hours just to get in when I was in a lot of pain. Also, one of the nurses took my phone charger while I was sleeping, and never returned it... Horrible staff .

My mom has been stuck at this hospital for a lil bit now and the nurses are quite ignorant,, and sound prejudice.. I believe my mom is getting treated unfairly and really wants to leave but it is the hospital using their authority over her acting as if she is not capable to leave yet how ridiculous,,,,, she has been very cold in the room they placed her so she had to fight for her rights to be placed into another room which was warmer to. I don't appreciate how they do their job there. On top of that trying to take away my mom's right she has on something else like what messed up place......

I appreciate the ER triage folks, ER nurses, ER doctors, Charge nurses, HCA's, radiological techs(X-ray machine operators), nuclear medicine techs(CT machine operators), hospital pharmacists and pharmacy techs, housekeeping services workers, Food services, lung specialist doctors, internal medicine doctors, internal medicine nurses, and residents of every department. The staff at Saint Boniface Hospital even when really busy were kind and very accommodating. When anyone came to see me they were very informative, wiling to listen and answer questions. The care I received made a very scary event so much less stressful. Special thanks to my favorite nurse. My bloodbath nurse(they had to draw 8 or 9 vials of blood for tests using both of my arms because of a test requirement). They were very engaging and gentle as well as professional while drawing the blood. Also quite fantastic as a nurse at all other times even while doing undesirable tasks like collecting a urine sample.

Very long wait times. but nurses are very nice. Still! wait time is too long in emergency!

Jeff Greene

I went in last night with chest pain and shortness of breath. Everyone was so professional and helpful. I have new faith in the Canadian healthcare system. Thanks to all for their genuine care and concern. Everyone did an amazing job. Thank you!

Exceptional care for both of my parents!

Back in 2004,my son Maurice Vandekerckhove was a patient here. The medical staff were awesome. Excellent service.

AWESOME SERVICES FOR MY FRIEND WELL LOOKED AFTER NICE NURSES

romel09ish

The bald security guard has no ethics. How could he be working in an environment where respectable nurses, doctors, nurses aid are. Is he from an agency??he was on duty on October 11-Thursday between 11am-6:00PM. Security guard should be a role model to people with respect and dignity. I just hope that the management has to observe his capabality as a security guard

Doris Hayden

Friday July 13, I was in Emergency due to a condition diagnosed as diverticulosis. I had a scope done by Dr. D. Goldenberg and a second scope done by Dr. C. Yaffe who diagnosed Diverticular Bleed. I have to say both Doctors were very professional in their area of expertise and explained to myself and my daughter what to expect in the procedure and the test results. I was very pleased to have both Doctors. I was admitted to the 7th floor and I received very good care from all of the medical staff & caregivers until I was discharged on July 17th. I greatly appreciated the Doctors, Nurses & caregivers involved in my care!

Dawne Manchester

Waited 19 hours for surgery on a broken arm, was denied medications while waiting. Next time I’ll just jump in da river

Lana Morris

This review is late in coming but I wanted to make special mention of Dr. Dr. Zoe Piggott. Just outstanding! Took her time, made my concerns feel validated. Scheduled an emergency procedure with one of her colleagues within 24 hours of my emergency room visit. I hope she is still here to stay.

Tony Fast

Latest experience was great... not to say I've had some questionable ones too.

Darcy Lynn

Receptionist is aggressive and yells on the phone

Thank you doctors and nurses in the emergency center .Although it took a long time to wait, the doctors here are so nice and they are very patient. The male doctor who spoke to me this morning is so gentle, squatting on the ground, I feel very warm, his smile gave me Strength, thank you all doctors and nurses, you are great

Khaled Alhakka

Bad bad bad, health neglect The nurses at the reception are really bad and so disrespectful. They don't care about the sick person. Such as Canadian you must be more respectful and I wish Ministry of Health see what's going on on there and what they do for old Canadian.

Rachel Shin

Worst emergency service. My mother had pain on her head, and ended up fainting at home so immediately my family brought her to the emergency. Nurse just told my mom to wait in emergency room while she's dying. One old blonde nurse were extremely rude, talked to my mom with no respect at all. (My mom didn't speak english very well). And Some nurses were talking so loud about their personal stories, laughing loud when the patients are so much in pain. Horrible services and very unprofessional. They need to learn how to treat patients first. How can we call it as an emergency if it takes more than 5 hours to get in the room where we can actually get treatment.

Impossible to make an appointment in Cardiology. When you do get thru it's 6-8 months later.

St. Boniface, like ALL Winnipeg hospitals is TOTALLY unorganized! If this was the USA there would be SO many lawsuits! Pro Active thinking is non-existent! Total joke!

Severe Prostate Infection. I arrived at Emergency at approximately 7:30pm. I was triaged fairly quickly and gave a urine sample which the hospital lost. I was finally admitted to a room at approximately 1:30am the following day after giving another urine sample and having blood work. I was treated quite rudely by the nurse on duty in the emergency dept., not the triage nurse. I was put in a room without a pillow or a blanket. When a housekeeping staff member came in I asked for those and she got them for me. When my blood work came back the doctor realized that I was quite ill. At this point the attitudes of the medical staff changed quite dramatically and I was treated with an intravenous antibiotic. I was then released around 6:30 am. Although I had urinary incontinence which developed while I waited in the emergency waiting room and had mentioned this to the staff on duty I was given no assistance in that regard.

Emily Hayes

Horrible staff. Rude. Don't have any wkill.had a full blown panic attack and all they did was yell at me to "relax"! Not professional. Horrible place.

Dawn Aisenstat

not easy to find out times of lab when coming to give blood

Barry Hoel

Far better than Concordia

Kelly Wilwand

I had an emergency hernia operation last year and was treated with the highest of profession anyone can ask for. I had a room to myself and had constant care by the staff, not one time did I feel alone. By the time I was discharged I left the hospital stress-free.

Sarah H

I had a baby 3 months ago and my labour and delivery experience was the best! The ladies in delivery with me helped me physically and mentally through every contraction and gave me all kinds of different postures to help ese some of my pain. Once in a room for overnight stay, the overnight nurses never helped me breastfeed even thought they knew I wanted to breastfeed, they kind of just shrugged it off and bottle fed him, usually didn't let me feed him, they did it. But they were very good at answering all my questions and helping me when needed. The hospital food served room-to-room for patients is HORRIBLE! I mean all hospital food is bad but the only good thing was apple juice and apple/banana muffin. If they didn't have the restaurant downstairs I would have starved the 3 days I was there. Now the restaurant is great! Amazing and irrisitable food. Wish they had a Tim Hortons instead of Robyn's and didn't allow meth heads to walk around the ER and surrounding floor. But all in all a good experience!

crazymaggie mcdoyne

I would like to acknowledge Dr. Holly Black for her wonderful care and compassion. For the first time in 4 years of many trips to the emergency ward with my daughter, she actually took the time to figure out what was wrong. Every ER doctor would do well to take a page out of Dr. Black's book. Thank you once again.

garry mason

I have been in the Saint Boniface Hospital for four days now the nurses have been fantastic, yeah the food may not be the best but it’s eatable I’ve had worse, I think they’re doing a great job

Roberta Coderre

The St B is dirty,needs painting.not enough windows,gloomy.There was garbage everywhere............BUT the entire staff there were cheerful.kind.friendly and showed a true camaraderie amongst themselves.They treated me like a valued person and I cant say enough good things about them.There must have been at least 15 people taking their turn looking after me ,There were no beds available at all and I was pretty much in a closet with 4 big chairs filled with others.In spite of being stacked to the roof I rate my experience a 10/10! This is in spite of the very rude female security guard .(on Duty Dec12/18 @ 9pm)Even her rather bullying comments cant take away from the absolute genuine care and kindness shown by everyone else there.Big kudos to The Staff at the St Boniface

Irene Souque Hewitt

I will start with mentioning the excellent care my husband received when my husband had his open heart surgery in 2006. At that time I found great solace in praying in the lovely christian chapel . It breaks my heart to hear that you are seriously thinking of removing the alter , cross and pews in the chapel, in yet another attempt to cater to none christians. I for one am seriously offended that you should consider removing all evidence of our faith. This has always been a catholic hospital , look at it's history. There are enough other hospitals in Winnipeg that are none denominational.. I recently spent a month in Kelowna hospital as my husband struggled to stay alive after having a ruptured Aorta and not once did I go into the room that was meant for praying because it did not have a cross or pews at which to pray. It was not a place with any meaning . It was like any other waiting room and so I prayed sitting up in the waiting room.. Please , Please , please do not rob us christians of one last place to pray in your hospital... It is not right for you to take this from us ...... Each year we have donated to the hospital as it was one last bastion of christianity which showed in the level of care you provided and the way you treated issues of the possibility of death , which I can assure you is not prevalent in none christian hospitals. If you choose to not be that it will change how we feel about this hospital .

Jack Liu

My son was born here. Very nice stuff! Highly recommended

Ryan Silveira

Registration was efficient. Staff were friendly and helpful. Place however is dated. Some areas look like something out of a 80's horror movie.

juleous camper

The staff at St. Boniface are all useless and so rude. No one is willing to help and treated me like i was scum on their shoe. I also witnessed staff not providing proper hand hygiene. Talk about lack of infection prevention control. I was disgusted with their staff and how they ran the place. Nothing was done right, and i am not the only one that has negative to say about this hospital. This is a TERRIBLE place

Ruoxi Li

long long long time waiting

Cam Conception-Cordova

Great Hospital to go to Emergency Department has great doctors RN and RPN Good hospitals to go to for psych and any other issues. Sure the wait may be long but remember there is a lot of patients

Jim Castle

Staff overworked and mandated to work double shifts. If you are attending for an appointment there are lots of volunteers to help. Even though most areas are dated and in poor condition staff really strive to do the best job they can. Owned by Catholic Health reduces opportunities to get funding for more upgrades due to Provincial and RHA reasons. All in all the cardiac services are the best in this part of Canada. Parking is almost impossible after 0830 hrs. So if you live in Winnipeg take a taxi. Less stressful.

Can be quiet busy. Try other hospitals first.

Leyette Beck

Disorganized, not very clean and very unprofessional.

Tessa Black

Basically, my dad suffered severely from Covid last November. It got to the point where he was having trouble breathing so we had to take him into St. B (we are from out of town.) We were met by nurses who rushed him in and from there he was literally treated like royalty. They were quick and efficient, and very very kind. Despite the very high stress involved during this time my dad accounts that he was treated nothing but great! We greatly greatly appreciate the nurses / doctors / health care aides/ housekeeping / etc. etc. every one of them made my dads stay very comfortable. He recovered , and was able to come home which we are extremely grateful for ????

Hs Sm

Thank you to all the staff that saved our lives.

neriza andrande

I gave birth to my kids here, my son was stayed to NICU for 3 months. chapel was excellent and other staff as well. the only criticisim here were other nurse in NICU her name was Amanda Mattheson. she used to be my son nurse, and I remembered it was christmas she was the nurse for my son, and when we arrived, literally my husband wanted to cuddle our son, and Amanda hold my husband hand and say I love to have sex with you I went behind to get my wallet on the chair. second I caught one time i went to washroom, and amanda was the nurse again, and my husband left with our son and amanda, they spread the curtain and when I opened they were kissing each other and seriously there was no parents and the other staff went to break.so just a friendly reminder to the parents of nicu be careful to Amanda mattheson, long blonde hair, slim body, pouty lips. second during my son therpahy, those two ugly ducks name Margaret and Cathy the physio and occupational theraphy pushed my kids to walked for 3 months which is 6 months corrected age and grabbing the mouth. other doctor were grateful and other staff as well. Staying in NICU was the tough one, other doctor were criticized us, but other were fine and excellent same as the nurse.

The Butterfly Guy

Long line try to get in, be prepared for a wait. Very professional and courteous though!!!

Rod M

What a waste of taxpayers money...would've been better off giving the money to organized crime, at least they are organized! Terrible hospital, incompetent staff, no wonder this place has bad reviews...there would be more most likely but unfortunately they have probably passed away. There probably are some honest, hardworking individuals here but it's hard to fly like an eagle when you are working with turkeys. This is not a hospital you want to go to if you can help it, any veterinarian can provide superior service and care with shorter wait times.

Aaron Latham

Good

Leela T

The worst hospital with the worst receptionist.

J Beck

Even one star is a stretch. The person that said someone has to die in the waiting room for this place to smarten up was very correct and that someone was almost myself. Awhile back I was taken to this hospital(for lack of a better word) for a severe reaction, very severe reaction. When I was brought to this popsicle stand I was put in a wheelchair by ambulance staff that were about the same level of professionalism as this hospital (in other words...none). After waiting in the wheelchair for some time a nurse came up to me and asked what was wrong with me...I told her I was having a reaction to a drug I was taking. Immediately she rolled her eyes as if to say I dont have time for this and moments later an orderly walked up to me and apologized by saying "Im sorry but the nurse asked me to do this" and he wheeled me to the back of the waiting room...to die. My muscles were tightening up and my heart was about to punch through my chest, this was serious!!! After at least an hour I had trouble swallowing and I used all of my energy to walk over to the security guard to ask for a pen and paper because I thought I was about to pass out on the floor and die. He said to go ask a blonde nurse at the desk, I limped over and politely asked for a pen and paper because I couldnt swallow and she instantly screamed" I JUST SAW YOU SWALLOW...GO SIT DOWN!!!" The people in the front row jumped she screamed so loud. I went back to my wheelchair to die. Hours later someone came to help me out of the chair and I thought I was finally going to get help. No freaking way, I was just put in a room but no help. After awhile I noticed about 10 drs standing in a circle outside my room talking about their plans for the weekend and I so much wanted to run out there and beg for help but after the blonde nurse experience and the black nurse at the start...I didnt dare. I watched the drs hoping they could see that I was in trouble but nope they were too busy talking about going to the cabin. Five hours after arriving at the hospital, a dr came into my room and I said I was glad and I needed help. Nope, he just said nothing was wrong and said I can believe what I want to believe but I can go home. I woke up with brain, kidney, muscle and nerve damage and that was just the start. Turned out I has a serious reaction that nearly took my life and this hospital couldve prevented most if not all of the damage that occured. This ruined my life and im now looking into assisted suicide in Switzerland because the damage and nightmares I have from being left in a wheelchair while by body got destroyed is too much and this hospital tried to cover up their negligence... I have a witness to that so no worries there. This experience was the worst experience I have ever had in my life and my life is now ruined. This is completely true and nothing added or removed...drs, nurses and staff are a complete joke that isnt funny and drs in general need to give their heads a shake and pull their heads out of their butts. I wouldve been better off just staying at home and lying on the couch instead of sitting in a piece of crap wheelchair surrounded by lazy unionized workers that would do the public a favour by jumping in a volcano. Christian hospital my foot....makes me want to burn a bible on a campfire...probably all its good for anyways.

rhiannon edge

just went and visited my ill nephew in this hospital. the visiting area was very small and the lights were turned off. the staff room door was closed and the sound of the horror movie they were watching was very loud, so loud i felt anxious. terrible environment. why did they insist we visit in a room with no lighting? at 8 at night after the sun went down?

Greg Sutherland

This hospital treats you worse than prisoners and I know from first hand experience. I’ve asked 5 or 6 times for a shower as it has been over 2 days since I’ve been able to have one before being admitted to cardiac care. The nurses I ask always say they will go check and then I never hear from them again or a few said they need permission from the doctor to take off my chest leads. Give me a break, they come off when I go to the washroom and when I went down to meet a friend for an hour in the Atrium but try to have some good hygiene and be able to clean yourself, “Oooooh…very risky to take the leads off for 5 minutes. Gotta be able to monitor your heart.” Yet I am so routine that I am stuck over the weekend in this place because my procedure is not considered urgent and I am on the “routine” list for a M-F business hours procedure. Management, you need to seriously look into this. If a prisoner asks for a shower and the police don’t provide one after 2 days of them sitting in cells, it’s often a human rights complaint and understandably so. I may go 5 days without a shower and somehow this is all in the name of making sure my heart is okay??? Give me a break! I thought the good service and treatment I received at St. Michaels Hospital cardiac unit in Toronto was just standard procedure. It now feels like the red carpet was rolled out to me there compared to here. Maybe the provincial government should step up and provide more funding because something is seriously wrong if a fully mobile patient can’t get a simple and quick shower.

ICU staff are the best.

Michael Langdon

Somebody will have to die in the waiting room for this place to get its act together. A true disgrace to medical care. The people deserve better.

Rodger Jamal

terrible service - not recommended

Kierin Kocourek

My Dad received excellent care at St. Boniface Hospital. It's very comforting to know how quickly a team of specialists can jump into action when urgent care is needed. Dr. Moltzan was especially kind, caring, attentive, and genuine. Thank you St. B!

allison costa

good hospital very nice staff. I"m referral my friend namely Carla reitmeir, Michele bishop, and Joanne riley all of those have mental illness. they are abusive their kids by slapping pinching hitting they need to see mental rehabilitation.

My wife just visited here today and just want to say thanks to all the kind people there and especially who designed the convenient pass for pregnant women.

Fanny J E

Very very disappointed. My husband is here because of appendicitis and the longer you wait to have surgery the more likely that the appendix will rupture. I kept (kindly) reminding staff of my concerns that it would rupture (as my husband was heavily drugged for pain) and they didn't listen. they just ignored me, as if I am stupid. When they did the surgery there were complications and the appendix was ruptured, meaning recovery will take longer and he has to stay at the hospital longer. We live on one income and have 3 kids under 4. The staff at the hospital doesn't give a damn about any of that. And throughout the day while waiting for surgery they kept poking at his abdomen not gently at all, and made him even more uncomfortable than he already was. I am very disappointed in the staff, mainly the doctors that they don't care about how bad the patients will get before they do anything about it. I've delivered all our babies here and always had great experiences with all staff, including doctors. So when the love of my life is suffering and I try to push things along and the doctors ignore me and wait until his situation is worse, is very disappointing.

Steve Mcdonalf

Majority of staff was downright repulsive i have never seen such a place where a stage 4 cancer patients family has to fight to get an IV because they are unable to eat. And when assured her medication is being given to her as frequently as possible with a extreme lack of respect in the response. When a printout for her medication received had finnaly been given (which had to be aquired after finnaly finding someone who valued human life) it had shown our dieing mother had NOT received a DROP of medication in any form in almost 48 hours!!! That is criminal negligence!! I am beyond outraged as they also knew of her brain tumor pressuring her head and when they moved her for a change of sheets she lost the ability to breath!! Why? Because they handle their paitents with less care than that guy picking up your trash every week or so. Mind you that was on the 4th floor once her breathing was stopped however we were moved to intensive care where FINNALLY they actually tried, after it was too late sadly...

M I

Waiting before 5 hour in emergency. It's more stressful for me in preg. Don't know why their staff do work slowly don't recommend any one.
