Review titled superb surgeon
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Beverley - Posted on 31 July 2024
had to repeat this because it disappeared! I feel very privileged to have had such a fantastic surgeon in April. She took great care and time to ensure I was guided on the best route for me and devoted significant time and care in surgery to complete a wonderful, neat and pleasing result. I am forever in her debt.

Dear Alan, Firstly, I hope that you are recovering well from your recent surgery at North Tyneside General Hospital (Rake Lane). I am very pleased to hear that you would highly recommend this hospital and the care which you received. Having an operation can be daunting, so it’s important that you were put at ease and felt reassured. I will pass your kind comments on to the staff who looked after you. Thank you for taking the trouble to write your review so soon after your operation. Best wishes, Heather Heather Gibson Patient Experience Team Manager

Review titled Appointment information
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 September 2022
In August I rang outpatients to advise of upcoming holidays in Sept and Oct having been waiting for an appointment following a cancellation by them. I then receive an appointment for the very time I am on holiday and now back on the waiting list!! The promise was that I was now on the top of the list. I just hope my condition isn’t escalating as I wait to be seen.

Review titled Rude secretary
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 September 2022
I was on the phone to a secretary and she was extremely rude and made me feel very uncomfortable on the phone after I had been forwarded to her by another phone line. It’s put me off ringing to ask for help as I now feel anxious about this.
