Thank you to all the staff at this small but welcoming hospital. All around me during my 4 day stay I observed kindness and compassion from all staff members who put in 12 hour shifts . From Emergency to the medical/surgical ward I was treated with professionalism. Hospital food was pretty good and staff did their best to accommodate my restrictions. 👍🏾👍🏾

Absolutely the best care was received from the ER doctors and nurses! They were extremely patient, kind, and thorough with everything they did for our child. She was very afraid because she didn't know what to expect, and they took their time to explain everything to her and acknowledge and validate her fears. The moral among the staff was very good and made for a less stressful environment for us. We're grateful for the excellent care at Carlton Place Hospital ER ❤️🙏

Had a pretty bad experience here. I was standing near some random closed door, and a nurse snapped at me, “Move! You’re in the way!” No “excuse me” or anything just rude for no reason. The doctors here are great, but some of the nurses act like they hate being here. Like, you picked this career, so why act like a total bi*** to people all the time?

Not 1 time in my experience here had someone even went through the door in question.

Horrible receptionist/nurse, what a shame!

Update
Went back this time for severe back pain. Waiting time was 4 to 8 hours. I’ve waited 4 hours then left because there were still so many people ahead of me. They said there’s only have one doctor in ER.

This is not a free healthcare, it is a mockery. When you loose a full day pay, it’s not free service.

Updated June 2025
New ER, brighter and bigger. Looks great but I guess they are out of funds because it is still 8 to 12 hours wait time. A single doctor at the ER serving a community of more than 11,000 resident. I wish they kept the old ER, and invested in adding more doctors and reducing waiting time. It’s as if they are doing it on purpose!

We’ve been there twice in the past week , once for my 16 month old son for strep throat , and the second for his allergic reaction to the penicillin.

Both times being very scary for myself and my partner - but our son was such a champ .

We waited no longer than 2 hours in total and the whole team were so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all my questions and didn’t try to rush me out , I actually felt human .

Thank you cp emergency department ! You are amazing

When I went during the day, the ladies at the check in were so friendly and fast! The hospital is small so compared to Ottawa- they are just faster I found. Very attentive nurses and they actually cared about how I was doing because they weren’t rushed by crowds of people. I am going back here again instead of Ottawa, the drive is worth it for the care.

Seeing a lot of entitled people leaving 1 star reviews who don’t understand the dire situation our publicly funded health care system is in.

Took my partner here after she was experiencing severe complications with a medication. The nurse we saw was phenomenal, extremely caring, warm, and informative. We were seen super quickly, Dr. was direct and informative. Y’all are doing a great job despite the Ontario governments efforts to sabotage your ability to provide adequate care.

A big thank you to the Drs and Nurses at this hospital, your efforts don’t go unnoticed <3
