For Burnaby Hospital
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the amazing doctors and nurses who have cared for me over the past week, including Dr. Chaman, Dr. White, and Dr. Huang. A special thank you to the incredible 'Earth Angels' nurses—Mary, Lourdes, Rosa-Lee, Joyce, Cathy, and Bartek. Their dedication and compassion have truly gone above and beyond, raising the standard of care to extraordinary heights. If I could, I’d give them a million-star review.
For Chilliwack General Hospital
I can’t thank Dr. Kicia enough for the care he provided. He took all of my concerns seriously and, in my opinion, saved my life. He was kind, compassionate and kept me informed every step of the way. Although I was there by myself, I felt completely at ease thanks to Dr. Kicia and the incredible nurses who cared for me.
For Peace Arch Hospital
I experienced a heart attack while walking and my son rushed me to the Emergency Department at Peace Arch Hospital. I received immediate treatment and was quickly transported by ambulance to Royal Columbian Hospital for a stent procedure. Within just three hours of being admitted, I was back at Peace Arch Hospital. I was treated exceptionally well and am now recovering at home. I am incredibly grateful to all the doctors, nurses and support staff for their outstanding care and support. Thank you all for your exceptional treatment.
For Chilliwack Urgent and Primary Care Centre
You have a true gem in Nurse Practitioner Andreassen. She was kind, patient and incredibly compassionate throughout my cancer diagnosis, treatment and ongoing health maintenance. Her support meant the world to me during one of the most challenging times in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend having more primary care clinics with exceptional nurse practitioners like Nurse Practitioner Andreassen—our true heroes.
For Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre
After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr. Janzen and Nurses Simmar and Jana provided me with excellent and efficient care. I was treated with respect and kindness, and they took the time to explain my care and treatment options in a way that allowed me to make informed decisions. The care I received was professional and culturally safe. Every staff member I encountered on my health journey, including the radiologists, was truly exceptional.
For Langley Memorial Hospital
Dr. Chahal delivered my baby girl via C-section. I had seen Dr. Chahal several times at the Langley Maternity Clinic, and I am so grateful he was there on the day of delivery. He is incredibly kind, understanding and an amazing doctor and person.
For Ridge Meadows Hospital
The nurses were incredibly friendly and caring throughout my experience. I had an unplanned C-section, which was quite scary, but the labour and delivery nurses were amazing. Dianne in the operating room was so sweet and comforting. Dr. Mentz and Dr. Konkin performed the C-section, and they were both fantastic. Jenna, Janelle, Dawn, and so many others in the maternity ward upstairs were so kind and reassuring, always making sure we felt confident and supported with our baby. Thank you all!
