Almonte General Hospital

We tried 4 different walk-in clinics this day, but we were unsuccessful in getting an appointment. Each clinic were not accepting any more patients- I was told by each, 'that all appointments were filled for the day'. On our last stop, I was told that the QCH had a wait time of 11-12 hours and it was recomended to us to make a trip to the Almonte hospital, as the wait time would be shorter there. We drove to Almonte and after 5 hours we were finally seen. The staff were good and the young doctor knew his stuff, took his time and didn't rush our questions.

I am taking a point away as the wait was very long and somewhat unexplainable, as there were very few people waiting to be seen by the doctor and there were no injuries or emergencies that required immediate care. I am taking a second point away as there were 4 unruly, loud, abnoxious, hyper teenagers with bad manors acting up in the waiting room. I would expect that the next time this would happen, hospital staff would take control of the situation, so that it is not uncomfortable for other people who are patiently serving time in the waiting room.

To add, they don't give change for the 1 vending machine, but there is plenty of free parking, which is a positive, if you want to leave for snacks. Don't worry, there is no need for you to hurry back with your snacks, since you have most of the night to camp out before you get finally get to see the doc.

This hospital changed my opinion about hospital system in Canada. I went to emergency and even didn't wait 10 mins to they take care of me. Everybody was professional and friendly. Thank you so much

I arrived in the ER last night with a really bad cut on my thumb. Like, really bad. Within 15 minutes I was being stitched up by a doctor and nurse that were quick, efficient, and very professional. I don't plan on cutting myself that badly ever again, but if I do, I hope it happens in Almonte.
