"This review is from two perspectives, the family of a patient and as someone interested in places. My mother came here as a patient. She is 94, has fractured bones in her hand from a fall, and dementia. Honestly, they are feeding her really well and looking after her brilliantly. Very happy. My photos below are more from the perspective of someone who likes old buildings. The main entrance is great. Love the busts of significant people and the stained glass."

"At a hospital, you’d far prefer quality healthcare over quality food, and RPA will deliver that. Yes, the rooms are dated and the food soulless. But the nurses and surgical staff genuinely care, and are among the best in the business. You’re in capable hands here."

"I just want to say thank you and happy retirement to Martin, chief receptionist at Level 11 - Respiratory Ambulatory Care clinic. One of the nicest and kindest people I've ever met. Always pleasant. All the best with the photography sessions Martin!"

"Today I had my first medical emergency in 7 years that I spent in this country so far. I did not really know what to expect, not sure if they were "as good as europe". I was treated extremely well by everyone, and I've been dealing with at least 6-7 different staff members. Everyone has been so professional and nice that I'm now wishing to be back :D In particular, I want to thank Dr. Timothy Green who was scrupulous and attentive in taking care of my case."

"My girlfriend fainted 4 times in a short span of time and had to take the ambulance to the nearest hospital being this one. We have been waiting for 8 hours and still on going to speak to a Doctor that has the results. The staff keeps saying that we are the next patients with one or two people in front of us every time. But clearly this is not the case as they keep putting others in front despite them having just entered the building and having a lower priority apparently. This system sucks pretty bad especially because most of the time their doctors are just chatting and not actually having patients. As of now the wait still continues with no clear indicator of when the Doctor would see us. All the triage nurses have been giving us conflicting information which is extremely frustrating as well."
