Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre: Emergency Depart

Going to an ER is never something pleasant because you're either unexpectedly ill, or with someone who is. I have multiple experiences in this ER in both of those categories., and can say with confidence that this is a caring, competent, and well run facility. The good news is this hospital is one of the best in the Fraser Valley. The bad news is that many people know this, and so they have understaffing and over-crowding issues to deal with on an ongoing basis. I don't have any relatives who work there, but have plenty of friends and acquaintances in the medical field across the Valley who have confirmed these things (great hospital, understaffed, etc.) over and over again. And I can tell you that 95% of the doctors and nurses that have dealt with me and with aging father and auntie have been caring and competent.

Long wait time, Pay parking is annoying and expensive, staff is ok, but the doctor was really nice, friendly, and fast. Good effort, and still 100 times better than Chilliwack ER.
