Review titled Urgent Endoscopy
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by David Sharman - Posted on 01 April 2023
I would like to thank all the staff in the Saturday, endoscopy unit from reception through to discharge, who were all kind, caring and thoroughly professional in their procedures, and made a very unpleasant procedure as good as can be.

Review titled Thank you
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Mrs Fox - Posted on 22 April 2023
Cannot thank all the staff enough. They basically saved my life without me even realising at the time. Ended up having to have a blood transfusion. All the staff were very efficient, a lot were warm and caring. Quick check in and effective triage. Temperature of waiting room extremely warm which could pose problems when people are feeling ill. Saw staff continuously cleaning. Witnessed other patients being given quick attention when they called or seemed in pain. Had the opportunity to ask questions about my treatment. My bloods were checked and monitored quickly. Given clear information on my discharge. Thank you so very very much to everyone!

Review titled Terrible Experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 July 2023
As a disabled professional senior in chronic pain the waiting and testing time was unacceptable and unbearable. Absolutely a complete waste of my time. Very uncomfortable chairs and small over crowded waiting rooms. No refreshments offered to us despite waiting for more than 7/8 hours! Then I only had to eat at the end of the day with disgusting food. Very limited food choices whereby, there are a large multi ethic staff hence, halal/kosher food could be available all day and night. We were all sick and tired when we got home! A very non productive with no professionalism

Review titled Such professional and reassuring, kind staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jean Baillie - Posted on 23 February 2023
As a regular attender of the ophthalmic clinic, I have always found the staff to be extremely helpful and professional. On this occasion, they went above and beyond following an accident outside the pavilion and take such good care of me with such compassion and reassurance. I cannot thank the staff enough.

Review titled Very slow doctor review
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 February 2023
It feels like the hospital is short of doctors in AE children's ward. How can it take over 4 hours to listen to a chest wirh only 3 other kids in the queue who have also not been see to. Feels like kids are left to suffer in silence with tired parents middle of the night and getting worse in process. Doctors should do triage within the hour of patient coming in. Where are they?

Review titled respiratory clinic
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by micky FRENCH - Posted on 02 March 2023
I am trying to chase an appointment for a few months now, today I have decided that I will wait on the phone as long as I have too because I am off work and can wait, after I have waited for 2 hours to speak with someone, the line was cut off, how disgusting is that, I was number 48 in the queue when I have called and when I was number 5 the line cut off, I am absolutely appalled by this services, there is no help and I just don't know what to do... so so frustrating and there is nothing that I can do.

Review titled Maternity triage
by Vasilecx23 - Posted on 19 May 2023
I've been assisted during the pregnancy of my wife by this hospital and everything it was smoothly, the staf from MDAU and triage so welcoming and they look after my wife big time, any issues we have they was dealing with it straight away. They didn’t let you leave unwell home never, so we glad because we chose this hospital for our baby. Is true that a few midwives I did call (labour nurses), they didn’t know how to change a baby but you can tell them they do something wrong and other ones it will do it right to rectify the issue, apart from that it was great, thanks for everything and thanks for keep looking after us.

Review titled Slightly disappointed
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Moira King - Posted on 02 February 2023
Saw a lovely GP in the urgent care centre. He said that if I had any questions or problems about a medication he prescribed, I should call back. Have tried twice now, no reply.

Review titled Amazing service!!!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 February 2023
I have attended the new location for bloods twice and it was so nice to see a happy, friendly receptionist who went above and beyond for every patient. The phlebotomist was gentle and the blood test was quick and I was in and out within the 20 minutes of free parking :) Definitely deserve more recognition as a whole team.

Review titled Great care in day surgery
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Bev Fennell - Posted on 14 January 2023
I had day surgery in Netteswell, I had great care from all the staff there. The waiting wasn't great but that's to be expected, so I was prepared with a book & my mobile. Staff were very busy but professional and polite, always responding to patient enquiries. It was a very clean & tidy enviromnent. Top marks for all the clinical staff. Thank you.
