Review titled The best care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Charlotte - Posted on 01 December 2022
I attended the urgent treatment centre yesterday and I couldn’t have asked for a better service all of the staff were so polite and helpful. The doctor I saw was lovely and had such a nice manner. Although I felt so poorly the experience I had, in comparison to other hospitals, made me feel much more at ease. Despite the pressure on our hospitals I only had around an hour wait which highlights the efficiency of the staff there. Thank you again and keep up our brilliant work it’s much appreciated!

Review titled Brilliant, speedy treatment.

I attended on a Friday evening. We were in and out in half an hour having had an x-ray and been given treatment advice. Seen by a Nurse practitioner, who was kind, helpful and knowledgeable and dealt with us promptly. Couldn't have asked for better.

Review titled Poor Service

We arrived today for my wife's pre-arranged appointment only to be told that it had been cancelled by the consultant without prior notification to ourselves. A wasted journey and time.

Review titled Absolutely fantastic
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Holiday broken wrist - Posted on 03 November 2022
I was treated at Wandsbeck for a dinner fork fracture after falling while out walking. It was the first day of our holiday and after being taken there by a fabulous ambulance crew, I was treated almost immediately. I was in a lot of pain and everyone there couldn’t have looked after me any better. Absolutely fantastic thank you so very much.

Developed a chest infection while on holiday and couldn't be seen by home doctor. Advised to go here. A busy place attending to lots of accidents and injuries, but was seen, thoroughly examined, infection diagnosed and given a course of treatment to alleviate. We really don't appreciate enough what a wonderful NHS we have! Well done and many thanks!
