Review titled Bad service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 April 2024
Had CT scan 20th February still waiting for results! To my understanding this is a private hospital, never waited this long for similar results from NHS absolutely terrible service. My mental health is in tatters waiting and not knowing my results.

Review titled There no communication
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Kris - Posted on 18 May 2024
I been for consultation about my back pain on 23/02/2024. It was agreed that I will wait in the queue for steroid injection. I was informed that waiting list is about 2 months. Since my last visit there no any updates my situation. I been calling numerous times. Nobody giving me any answers. I just constantly transfered to automated phone line where I left so many messages, but nobody called back. I sent even few emails asking if I am even in the queue, but reply still now. Absolutely awful service. I don't know when I will get injection, and I am not sure even if they put me in the waiting list. No communication, can't reach real person to talk to. Left in unknown. My condition is getting worse and I can't even reach somebody to ask if I am even in the waiting list. This service is absolutely not acceptable. Do not recommend this hospital to anyone.

Review titled No One answers the phone and the voicemail box is full
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Emma Connolly - Posted on 29 January 2024
I have tried to call this hospital numerous numerous times over the last 3 months, no one answers the phone, its very frustrating, how are we meant to communicate? I have sent emails but get generic replies. How are you meant to actually speak with a person and arrange an appointment???

Review titled Unorganized
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Atefeh Eshraghi - Posted on 20 January 2024
I had an Appointmet with a Gynocologist with this hospital in December 2023 . The gynecologist give me a paper for scan and blood test . When I went to book them they took the papers from me and they told me they will send me the appointments . After one month I tried to contact them via phone . Their phone lines do not work . I attended the hospital after waiting for one hour they told me that they have lost all the papers in regards to the scan . They will call me next day as they need to get them from the doctor again . They never called me and I am now worried if they can not even mange my scan date , how can I trust them and go under treatment with this department . This hospital has no organisation they have no computer system to store information . They still use hard copy papers to arrange scans and they do not have enough staff to deal with phone calls . It’s very surprising that they have made this pretty hospital with no gear to run it . If you are private patient please consider your other options as I have had many experiences with different hospitals and nothing like this . I think the people who mange this hospital should really think about the infrastructure of this hospital not just a pretty floors and walls .

Review titled Excellent treatment, but terrible when telephoning
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Mrs Seleena Veale - Posted on 16 February 2024
I can fault the treatment + care my Dad has received when I have taken him to his many, many appointments. However, trying to telephone the hospital borders on ridiculous! I have tried lots of times to make enquiries or change appointments but can never get through. I have left several messages on the answer machine but have never had a response.

Review titled Horrific
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 November 2023
My son saw an ENT person today. I flew in from overseas because I’m concerned about his symptoms. Both him and his friend arrived home in a state of disbelief after the visit. Little concern, discussion, results were discussed apart from further balance tests and a ‘ go see your GP’. A short consultation -an in and out - is insufficient for someone who has had symptoms for 3 weeks which inevitably leads medical doctors to go through a process of elimination. This, 3-minute consultation was unacceptable. The unprofessional, uncaring attitude has resulted in a person who relies on medical expertise unable to trust them. Patients deserve better. You don’t deserve patients.

Review titled NHS Service Very Poor
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 November 2023
I had an appointment with the NHS outpatient service 2 months ago. The doctor - for the first time - actually listened to what I had to say and noted me down to be scheduled for surgery. I was very happy. However, I have since not received a letter or call for the appointment. I cannot get through to a human being with NHS at the hospital, there is only an answering machine and no one ever calls back. This is just no service at all, there should be a way to actually contact people and get information.

Review titled Please stay clear of this hospital
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 August 2024
Please stay clear of this hospital if you need a gynaecologic appointment! Was called in from the waiting room by a doctor who asked me go through all of my symptoms while he stared at my notes. He then laughed and stressed that he would 'love' to try and help me but that he unfortunately is not a gynaecologist and that I had been on his list through an admin error. He found this very funny and kept repeating how much he would 'love' to deal with my issues if he could. It was uncomfortable. Once I was seen by the correct person and was unlocking my bike outside the same doctor came out and approached me again to repeat how much he would have 'loved' to be able to help me whilst giggling. It was obvious what he meant and it was very uncomfortable. After this I went through all the blood work and scans with the actual gynaecologist who in the end didn't send my results to my gp and discharged me. Only for me to have to do it all over again at a different hospital and to find that there is something that needs attention and treatment. Prior to this the hospital called me at 9pm the night before my morning appointment to cancel claiming that the doctor was 'still on holiday'. Said they would call to re-book but never did. Will obviously never be going back.
