SickKids Hospital

Our trip to the emergency room was thankfully quick. The pediatrician was kind and thorough and extremely helpful. Triage nurse was efficient and very professional. Would not hesitate to bring my children in again.

I went to visit a patient in the oncology unit and I was quite impressed with Sick Kids Hospital.
The facility is beautiful; there are a lot of windows, which makes the space very bright. There are also a lot of food and beverage options on the first floor. I did a quick walkabout and found eateries for any palette. Close to the elevator, I saw a bulletin board with postings of a lot of activities going on in the hospital for both patients and their families. SKH provides a great support system for all stakeholders, which is great as I’m sure it’s not the best experience for anyone to be here. Lastly, I noticed how dynamic the staff here were. They were all very upbeat, energetic, and positive; characteristics that are essential when working with children and their families.
I’m not a child nor do I have children so I’m not sure when I’ll be back, but I think this place is definitely a five-​star.
Good for: healthcare

My grandson lived here for the first year of his life due to congential health issues. They were amazing both with his care & helping his family cope with everything.

Had ten sugary here spent a three years of my life nothing but great care. The staff are amazing they will go out of there way for you.

Such a wonderful hospital, I remember coming her quite often as a kid whether it was for myself or for my brothers. It truly is kid friendly, from the various toy/​playrooms they have, Video games available to play, and even something as cool as their elevators which seemed like an awesome roller coaster ride to me when i was younger.
They also have a wonderful area to eat food. It has stands for your typical fast food places such as subway, pizza pizza and teryaki, but also has a unique eatery which sells everything from soups, salads, sandwiches, baked goods, coffee and much more.
I also love the seating area to eat, as it’s surrounded by windows, so there’s plenty of natural sunlight. It makes for a great area to visit and get some homework done… I’ve done that a countless number of times. And the fact that they offer free Wi-​Fi makes it that much more appealing!

If I was sick, I’d want to be treated here.
I don’t get how people can still smoke right outside the hospital in front of the signs that have photos of children clearly stating the no smoking policy.

I was pretty sick when I was a teenager, so I’ve experienced my fair share of hospitals and let me tell you, Sick Kids is THE BEST hospital out there. Too bad it’s limited to kids.
The hospital itself is designed in a way that it’s super bright. If you walk in through the new portion, the whole lobby/​elevator area is a big open concept. You can look up and see all the different floors, and likewise, if you are in the ward, you can look down and see the lobby area.
The front area also has a cafeteria and a large sitting area. Again very open, and modern. If you go West through the older portion of the building, it gets more «hospital-​like». Luckily that portion of it is all hospital office area and such. The patient room area are all in the pretty section.
The staff at the hospital are all top notch. To look after sick kids day in and day out is probably one of the hardest jobs out there, but they all do it with a smile on their faces.
I can’t say enough about this hospital, it’s most definitely saved my life, so it can do no wrong!

For Pediatric patients, this is as good as it gets. Such a happy place with clowns, dogs, music therapy. The kids and employees are always happy, even in the worst of circumstances. This is the pediatric centre that everyone in Ontario and beyond uses for information, calls when they don’t know what to do, refers patients for anything and everything. One of the best in North America.
