Arthritis (Hip)

Hip Replacement (Hip Arthroplasty)

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..?

Hernia

Constipation

Nausea and Vomiting

Bloating

It was a very different experience to the NHS but you would expect that when you’re paying for it. Very fast and slick.

Wrist Pain

Hand Problems

I had a very good experience at this hospital. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout my visit. The hospital was clean, well-organised, and welcoming. I really appreciate the care and attention I received, and I am grateful to the entire team for making my visit a positive experience. I would highly recommend this hospital to others.

Back Pain

Chronic Pain

Facet Joint Injection

This was excellent all round. Dr Salama is a wonderful doctor.

This is my 5th visit over the past few years. Dr Guru has provided pain relief for decades of pain. It has actually changed my life. A weight has been lifted. He is very professional. My first consultation was over an hour long. He looked deep into my medical history before offering treatment. Once he was happy he provided targeted injections. I highly recommend him.

Spinal Injections for Pain

Sacroiliac Joint Injection

Day Centre Waiting and Chronic Pain Clinic experiences 25th September 2026
The experience with Dr James was excellent.  Thank you.

However, there are several matters that concerned me on the day of the procedure at the day unit which could easily be rectified and make the experience less stressful. Please forward my comments to the correct department.

The entrance doors to the Day unit reception and those into the corridor to the patient waiting  rooms are so heavy to push unit open that myself (aged 80 with spinal problems), and several other patients found it difficult to get access, there were no offers of assistance except from members of the public who themselves were patients.
In the small ladies waiting room designed for 7 patients, all of us waiting up to 4 hours, at one point we had 9 ladies in the room as well as various medical staff coming to interview patients. These were not safe conditions for patients with compromised immune systems who need to avoid infections. One lady cancer patient was still there waiting at 3.45pm having arrived at 7.30am
There was no information as to when you would be called and this made it difficult for those of us who were not “nil by mouth” to get refreshments and food if you were lucky enough to have some had to be consumed alongside people who were “nil by mouth”.
In the two toilet cubicles I visited the washbasin tap drips constantly and waste water. Might be worth checking and changing some washers?
It could have been so much better.

Thank you for reading my comments, Caroline
