Hip Replacement (Hip Arthroplasty)

From the first visit entering reception,  meeting the surgeon and his collegues, having a total hip replacement through to physio was a genuinely fantastic experience and I  can honestly say St Joseph's Hospital is undoubtedly the best.

Arthritis (Hip)

Very good.

On leaving, I did ask if there was any paperwork or anything that I needed to complete before going.

I was advised, no - but I do wonder if I should have paid the excess at the time, which was owed (private health care).

Maybe an invoice will follow..?

Gastroscopy

Colonoscopy

Having been hospitalised with acute onset of chest, stomach, and back pain recently I was referred to gastro. I was seen by the Dr within a few days and he explained that diagnostic cameras would be the best option to see what’s happening etc. This procedure was scheduled for a week later. It was explained very clearly and I was made aware that the preparation is for many the worst part. This was true which is oddly reassuring because naturally you’d expect the cameras to be painful but actually thanks to well managed sedation I was only vaguely aware and definitely not bothered for the most part. I had a little discomfort when they inflated the bowel with air but it was just a few seconds I think. The drink to “clear you out” the day before just makes you need to go to the toilet a lot and I highly recommend using moist toilet wipes and a barrier cream as per the guidance! On the day everyone was lovely, I felt my dignity was maintained, and it was not as bad as I was expecting at all!

Total Knee Replacement

Excellent facilities and friendly, supportive staff. I was at ease throughout.

Prolactin Disorders

Excellent clarification and explanation of a condition I’ve been struggling with for an extended period of time. 
Concise summary and explanation of potential causes and reason with clear next steps and summary.

Endocrine Disorders

Actually listened and very reassuring, can definitely tell he actually cares about his job and his patients, explains things very well too, you can tell he has compassion. Thank you so much for explaining things properly and putting me at ease.

Adrenal Gland Tumours

Great experience with the consult and with getting the requested information in a timely manner. I had a little trouble chasing up a request that I sent to the PA - I e-mailed, then called, and then had to call back to get a follow-up, but when I got the PA she was great at chasing up the blood test and Dr. Ballav and getting the results a lot sooner than expected which really helped.

Hypothyroidism

Thyroid Problems

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

Fitted me in at short notice online and given me some other ideas to test for to see if that helps. Had my medical notes before hand and read them so knew things to suggest for the appointment.
