I had a very positive experience during my recent visit to Shirley Oaks Hospital. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and well looked after. The staff were friendly, professional and attentive, which immediately helped me feel at ease.
Quick, painless and efficient Mr Sultan is an exceptional person
As I have previously mentioned my consultations and surgery at Shirley Oaks have been a most positive experience.I would certainly recommend the hospital , in every way. The staff at every level were kind and helpful,and the hospital rooms were pleasant ,and very clean. A very good Hospital.
Despite the current building works, my visit was very pleasant and staff were very helpful and professional
Part of my treatment is having daily dressings and the nurses I see are a delight and very dedicated in what they do. I am always greeted at reception with kindness and am now on first name terms which makes the visit more personal. Mr Abulafi has checked my wound on various occasions and will always answer questions I may have.
Shirley Oaks hospital is a pleasure to visit. Staff are always friendly and efficient.
Staff are always friendly and helpful. Hospital is clean with great facilities. Its also a nice size which make is a more personable experience as opposed to a larger Hospital.
Seen promptly, pleasant interactions, genuine care. Would strongly recommend
The hospital is currently having extensive building work carried out within the outpatients department. They appear to be managing the dislocation any building work creates in an efficient manner.
