A very good experience at the hospital. The speed at which I got an appointment and then the following operation was very good. The hospital was very clean. All the staff are very efficient and friendly giving me confidence during my treatment..
Absolutely brilliant service from the moment I arrived before my surgery. Every member of staff, from Reception through to the medical team, was kind, supportive and reassuring throughout both the pre-operative and post-operative stages. I felt very well looked after.
I recently had rotator cuff surgery, everything was explained clearly and although the first week after the op was very hard and painful I now feel I'm in a good recovery. All the staff have been excellent and the hospital was exemplary.
Never felt better after a procedure thank you so much
Can't fault a thing. Nobody wants to go to hospital particularly if you are having an operation, but this hospital & it's staff gave you the reassurance that all would be well. Unlike some other hospitals that lack both communication & professionalism whilst you are in their care.
Very welcoming and professional in my dealings so far. Everything explained in an understandable way.
I am very pleased with the process - the procedure was only a week ago so it is early days on the recovery road.
Treated with kindness and consideration. Took time to explain all aspects and inspired confidence. Would highly recommend
He was very clear and helpful with his explanation of what he was going to do. A caring man.
