Took a fall before I traveled to Airdrie for my grandson birthday. I wasn't missing it.

Son brought me to Didsbury Hospital to have my wrist looked at 1230 a.m. Seen and xrayed but there wasn't a radiologist due in for a bit. Went to son's for a few hours sleep, they call in the morning. Went back at 830am...looked at again, got a cast, and done before 11 am.

Staff, nurses and 3 Dr's were great! Sense of humor and easy to talk to. For a small hospital, I'm thoroughly impressed!! Thank you!!!

I always have great service at the Didsbury Lab. They are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and run on time for appointments.

I’m pregnant. I went in to receive help for me and baby. After being in a room for 5 hours I was never seen by any doctor, no nausea meds were provided as I have been violently throwing up for 8 days now. No blood test was taken, no ultrasound was done. Absolutely nothing. I was becoming so light headed and faint that we ended up checking me out of there as I had been completely forgotten about behind a white wall and this random lady kept coming into my room and talking to my mother and myself. Another patient. For close to 2 hours she bugged us. As she talked about maybe having Covid and coughing up a bunch of white stuff. At no point was she told to go to her own room. Not until my mom went out and said we were leaving. Then finally stranger danger was asked to leave us alone. I listened to the two docs get to know each other. Share some laughs. It was a wonderful social affair. While myself and other patients were completely ignored.
Please any mommy’s that are expecting a child. PLEASE don’t go here. You and baby deserve better.
The only thing that made this trip somewhat bearable was the two nurses.
They also deserve better.

Don’t go unless you’re able to waste 3-6hrs+ of your day. Don’t expect an actual diagnosis or prescription just expect your time to be wasted. I went in the other day was put in a room fairly quick which I was surprised about, they took tests, I waited for 5 hrs and was sent on my way with no diagnosis or prescription or any form of help, I have not been able to sleep at night because I can barely breathe and keep getting worse. I would rather pay for healthcare like the states and actually get help than deal with this insane system that wastes your valuable time that could be spent earning money instead. This hospital has been here my whole life, when I was little (like 5yrs(Im 20 now, that’s 15yrs no improvement ) with an ear infection I remember my mom was very angry because we had been there for 4 hrs. When I had pneumonia, I was given antibiotics but nobody contacted me to confirm the results of the tests. I hope that healthcare in Alberta changes soon, no point in free healthcare if nobody can get actual help.

Efficient, caring staff. Had my issue dealt with in just over 3 hrs.

Drove her around 5 pm with my daughter under suspicion of an ear infection. Triage nurse saw us right away! Administered medication and the doctor came out right away to check her ear. We were in an out in less than 20 minutes and it was an ear infection. Very friendly staff and very efficient for our visit, it was much appreciated.

I cannot say enough about this facility and the staff but I will try. I spent 9 days going back and forth from home to this hospital for IV therapy. The staff were welcoming and helpful. After day 2 they started to know who I was and would welcome me by name. Hospital visits are most people's worst time. The staff made it as hospital visits go, a pleasant experience. The staff at the front to the nurses and doctors in the back were wonderful. They have a very difficult job to do these days especially and most were calm, cool and collected. They always did their best to get me in out as quickly as they were able. The only downfall to this ER is you may only see the same doctor one time due to their rotation schedule. My health is much better and I give credit to this staff for taking such good care of me. They even called me to check on my progress since leaving the IV therapy program. WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I went in twice for severe pelvic pain. I was given pain medication and blood work taken, which pointed to all my levels being normal. I was scheduled an urgent pelvic ultrasound, which I got done shortly after. I was connected by a male doctor from this hospital who told me I had PCOS. He said to me I'll probably gain weight and grow extra hair, and told me to get checked for insulin resistance, then hung up abruptly. No solutions, nothing. I was left to believe I had a life changing condition when I in fact had nothing of the sorts. No care to check and make sure I ACTUALLY had it, and no sympathy either. I am disgusted with this lack of care, and lack of knowledge of womens health. Never again.
