"We are very pleased with our experience at the Holland Centre. We can’t not say enough amazing things about the staff. From the time we pulled up until we were discharged. Nurses, Doctors, Physio. Everyone, including security. Friendly, compassionate and you can tell this is not just a job to them. Thank you so much to everyone. Dr. Chaudry, Netta (spelling?), Tanaz, Jason. Kelly the occupational therapist. Anthony and Raquel from physio. Just absolutely amazing."

"We are so fortunate to have this clinic in Canada. World class facility for patients needing orthopedic care. Every single person who had a part in my surgeries were so knowledgeable and caring. A special thanks for Dr. Raman Mundi, Nurse Bev in OR and Senior Nurse Jay Ming in recovery. I am so grateful for all of you."

"I went in on the 11th for a HTO and arthroscopy. I want to thank Dr. Wasserstein and his team for a successful surgery. The team of nurses and others took such great care of me. A special thanks to Hanieh (daytime nurse) and Jen (night nurse) for handling me when I was so emotional. You have such a fantastic team at the Holland Center! The only small issue was the technology. It wasn't updating my move through pre-op to recovery and most of the day (even when I was in my bed post-op) it said I was still in surgery. Thankful to the nurse who called my mom to say I was in the room. Thank you Holland for taking such great care of me!"

"Our family would like to sincerely thank Sunnybrook Holland Centre for the care my mother received during her revision hip surgery. We are especially grateful to Dr. Pincus and his team. My mother is elderly and we were very worried, but Dr. Pincus arranged the surgery quickly, which reduced the time she had to remain in bed and lowered the risk of complications. We would also like to thank Maria and the entire team for their patience and support. Their kindness and coordination made everything much smoother for our family. Thanks also to the physiotherapists who helped my mother regain mobility step by step with encouragement and care. Everyone we met treated my mother with kindness and respect, and we truly appreciate all that was done for her. Your dedication, skill, and compassion made a real difference in her life-and in ours."

"A friend recommended Dr. Wady as the orthopaedic surgeon for my hip surgery. In my initial meeting with Dr. Wady, she was thorough and instilled a lot of confidence. I also felt she was sensitive to my home situation. The surgery was highly successful. I experienced no pain and at three months I feel back to normal, able to do most things. All staff at the hospital were highly professional and supportive. Holland has a highly collaborative approach and provides extensive information to help prepare for surgery and to deal with issues post surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Wady and the Holland Ortopaedic Centre. Marilyn Melville"
