Auckland City Hospital Emergency Room

Came with my pregnant wife at 3rd trimester with strong chest cough and pain that's been for over a week. Reception is very slow. No priority even if you are pregnant and be prepared to spend 4-5 hours to see the doctor. Completely broken health system with doctor shortage and government has no solution for years. Very shame! 3rd world countries have better health care than NZ what an absurd...

Nothing I can say, ridiculously bad service.A guy in the reception was rushing me to sit on the chair when I felt super dizzy and short of breath and was lying on the ground to have a better breath. I was trying and sit on the ground to prepare to get up. No care, no patience, just urge me to get up like an robot. And keeps saying you can breath I can see you are breathing. I was pissed off and shout to him give me a minute and he just said if you are doing this I have to ask you to leave. I asked him if you think I'm lying I can leave. Then he said nothing. Then another guy blamed me about my attitude.....nnI have to say all the doctors are nice there, just the staff is like we are all animals.

The wait times are crazy. You will need to wait 5 hours + to be seen by a nurse. The nurses are really nice but there needs to be more staff hired by the hospital. New Zealand’s health system is poor.

had such a wonderful experience with the doctor andy dong wook kim yesterday. i was incredibly panicky and dishevelled no doubt quite short with him, too!! but he was patient, methodical, and completely efficient. he made me feel listened to despite me being a young woman with lower abdominal pain that could quite easily be brushed off by docs.nnan impressively quick processing time i came in at about 11pm on a thursday with consults that felt unhurried and deliberate.

Service is so bad, I regret to come here.7hours wait is a joke, if u think the patient is not life threatening level, then let them go home instead of letting them to wait for hours. And nurse is rude and lazy, a male name Tan. If u don’t like the job, then quit!
