Reviews of South Okanagan General Hospital (Hospital)

Megan Alien

Part of the reason we moved to Oliver is because there is a hospital here. You just never know when you will need one. 7 years later, I really needed this hospital and they were there for me. Always clean.

Nice hospital ad fat as they go, all the staff were friendly and the food wasn't bad.

(Translated) Excellent and fast service! No waiting! In Quebec, it is not uncommon to wait 12 hours to see a doctor. (Original) Service excellent et rapide! Aucune attente ! Au Québec, il n'est pas rare d'attendre 12 hres pour voir un médecin.

This hospital is not the place you want to go if you would like to get somewhere with your day when I went to emergency I had bronchitis and they told me I had a viral infection and sent me home with no medication after 2 weeks of it getting worse I went to the doctor and they told me if I waited any longer I would have gotten pneumonia. They take forever to finally get to you I spent an entire day there waiting not a place I would recommend to go to

I visited emergency at the South Okanagan hospital twice - recently - to discover that I had pneumonia. The staff there were amazing: friendly, personable and quick to diagnose the issue. They had me checked out and hooked up so quickly. X-rays were taken, blood test, ECG, etc. - medication was prescribed, advise given. I was so impressed.

Too quick to response in emergency

A total butcher shop. Incompetent nurses, incompetent doctors and incompetent staff. They couldn't pull a sliver if they had to. A total and complete train-wreck. Not even in slow motion. Just a bunch of a-holes thinking they rule the world. The good news is, they do not.

I went for my appointment for an Xray, arriving early. All the staff were so kind. They remembered that I had to take the BC Transit bus there and they took me right away. Jasmine my technician was knowledgeable, kind and friendly. A great experience. Thank you to everyone for your great service.

This was the 3rd time I have taken a family member to the Emergency Dept at Oliver hospital - NEVER again. They rude, ignorant and do not care. It appears this attitude has spread to all the staff. Watching how they ignore patients, sullen faced, make jokes about patients, complain about the patience - this is NOT health care, it is people abuse ! After getting very basic treatment in 4.5 hours, as we were leaving, the young shaved head doctor said, well if you get worst later do t come back here, we won't help you. No problem, we went to Penticton and received excellent care and caring , friendly staff.

Rude checking me in. Not my fault I sat in emergency waiting till 7:30 to get checked in for a lab appointment. Someone opened the doors early and the woman was rude and ignored me.

Special thanks to you all. Dr mike is a genius and special thanks to nurse Ryan. With limited equipment a fast and accurate diagnosis made my life better. Thanks again Carey woods

Friendly helpful staff. My husband has been in the emergency room twice in the last 6 weeks. Staff was excellent keeping us informed on what was going on at all times. Lots of free parking. Easy access.

Super thankful to the amazing team in the Acute Care section of the hospital. Going over and above to keep my family comfortable during their stay while also lending an ear to me as I needed to talk about how tough the last month has been. An alarm goes off and they are quick to answer; watched an elderly gentleman just sitting around in his chair and one of the nurses approached him and struck up a conversation. Very compassionate group there. Wish I could remember all of their names but a big thank you to Silkie, Jaret, and Melissa (and the 2 other nurses whose names I can't remember) for singing me a happy belated birthday.

Attended Oliver Hospital ER recently by ambulance with a medical emergency. Sadly the staff on duty were completely lacking in triage skills and behaved with a callous indifference to my care. There was a two hour wait to see the only doctor. The ER are appeared quite and only one other patient in sight. Fortunately my wife drove me to Pentiction Hosital where I was triaged and immediately seen by friendly and efficient staff within minutes including the ER doctor. A surgical procedure was performed with complete relief of my presentation. The nursing staff at Oliver failed in their basic role in showing compassion and in their failure to recognize a medical emergency. Suggest if you have a genuine medical emergency , avoid this hospital.

I am shocked and disgusted with treatment suggestions we received Monday night from an ER doctor for my 12 year old daughter. We went to the hospital because of an ankle injury at the urging of our GP’s office. After waiting a couple hours to be seen, which is to be expected, a young doctor prescribed Voltaren and Advil. Knowing nothing about the Emulgel, we went home and followed his instructions. 4 days later a friend advised what Voltaren really is and compared it to Cortisone. I immediately read up on the same and instructions explicitly state ‘not to be used on children under the age of 18’ and ‘never to be combined with an ibuprofen’. Seriously??! I am aware due to demographics that Oliver Hospital is more geriatric than paediatric care but this is insane at the detriment of my child’s health and well being.
