Halifax Hospital Professional Building

If you're planning to visit your doctor at the Halifax Professional Center, be aware that you may be treated more like a suspect than a patient upon entering the building Although the doctors are amazing On multiple occasions, I have experienced unprofessional and inappropriate behavior from the security staff at this facility -- despite not entering the hospital, but simply visiting physicians in the medical building attached to it. During one visit, I was harassed, subjected to an invasive search, and had my personal belongings handled without my consent. I was even physically frisked inappropriately, including being touched in private areas. The experience was so upsetting that I did not continue on to see my vascular surgeon and have since transferred my care elsewhere. Just last week, while accompanied by my 16-year-old son to my cardiologist's office, due to previous encounters with security we walked straight by and got on the elevator directly to my doctor's office,, we encountered further hostility. Upon leaving the office, we were aggressively approached by a male security guard who physically grabbed me, got within inches of my son's face, and blocked the elevator door to prevent us from leaving -- effectively detaining us. He demanded identification, followed us to the parking lot, and took photos of my vehicle, all while informing us we were being trespassed from the property. His behavior was not only unprofessional but also crossed legal and ethical boundaries. No one should be physically restrained or prevented from moving freely -- that constitutes false imprisonment. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. Halifax Hospital has had long-standing issues with security personnel acting more like aggressive enforcers, nazi storm troopers than properly trained professionals. This creates a hostile and uncomfortable environment for patients who are simply trying to access medical care. Halifax leadership must take immediate action to address these patterns of misconduct. Patients deserve to be treated with dignity and respect -- not intimidation, harassment, or fear.

Checking in for surgery the morning of, the woman at the reception desk was coughing continously, even had to walk away because she couldn't stop,resulting in my visiting sister- in- law,in town to take care of me after hip surgery became sick thanks to this woman. It would probably be advisable not to come to work if you're that sick - enough to put patients and care givers at risk

Been there several times. Halifax medical center helped to save my spouse's life many years ago. And have been there for fibula surgery. ( thankful to God for dr. John Borzok)!! About to start hyperbaric treatment, soon. "Lord willing ". Definitely recommend this hospital to everyone!!! Love you all and praying for unceasingly. Amen

This was the best choice I ever made!! I was terrified at Quest for bloodwork so I called Halifax. They took my insurance, Gluede or Julie (not sure the name but she wore a hijab), was super kind! I'm terrified of needles, and I didn't even know I took blood until it was done, she told me later I was done. Amazing experience!!

The staff at this place are absolutely horrible. They called my mom at 915 this morning to confirm her appointment for 130 today. So after i took the day off of work and my 2 sisters came from out of state.we get to the appointment and they proceed to tell us that the dr had an emergency and left. They tried to say they called my moms number yet the number they used was a number from 10 years ago that we dont even know how they got. We tried to explain that they apparently had the correct number because they had called this morning to confirm the appointment so how in the hell did they have the wrong number to call an cancel the appointment. She basically insinuated we were lying about them calling to confirm the appointment. They were extremely rude and nasty to us and did absolutely nothing to even try to make the situation any better. My mom is in massive pain and has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and tgey have changed the appointment time twice and now cancelled it all together without notification. This place really needs to get it together.
