On the 17th April , I attended for Cataract Surgery, terrified wasn't the word. However I had no need to be, everyone was friendly and professional, the whole procedure was quick and totally painless. Now I know how bad my eyesight had become. Would 100% recommend it.

Review titled Antenatal scan 20 week (rude reception staff)
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 March 2024
Would absolutely not recommend Bolton for antenatal scans ive now missed the threshold for 20 week scan due to rude woman on reception when I asked could I change my appointment due to having 3 other children and do not drive appointment was booked for 5pm explained getting to the hospital for that time with 3 children on 3 busses is impossible as children don’t come out of school till 3:35pm and the hospital is miles away from the school / my home I told the lady on the reception could come any time in the morning or early afternoon her reply to me was “ well that’s not my problem it’s been left to late so there’s nothing you can do “ now awaiting management phone call.

I’ve had to go to this unit 3 times in the last 6 months. Every time the staff have been 100% what our NHS is all about, especially one particular person from my first visit who really looked after me. Well done and keep up the great work you all do and let the moaners be moaners.
