Review titled Amazing care and treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by K Beeching - Posted on 08 May 2024
I recently had 2nd degree burns, partner had bilateral pneumonia and then I had chest pain and breathing issues. The care and staff in every department we met in the past few months have been exceptional. We have felt so well cared for by the incredible staff we have encountered throughout the past few months. I'm so grateful and lucky to have such an amazing hospital close by.

Review titled Thank you
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Vivian Skidmore - Posted on 16 May 2024
I’m an 89 year old lady and recently received an urgent referral to the dermatology clinic. The female Dr was so kind to me. A very calm, professional and reassuring lady. Thank you also to the lovely volunteer. She helped me while I was there and I really appreciated it. Thank you both for your kindness.

Review titled Not helpful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 April 2024
After waiting 4 years for an appointment with pain management I was given a phone appointment. I thought this was going to be for where my pain was then I would get an in clinic appointment to discuss ways of helping me manage the pain. But that wasn't the case after ringing me late, I was told that as I couldn't take painkillers little could be done. I then suggested hydrotherapy or physio therapy and was told perhaps I could get in touch with my doctor myself and only after saying it was hard to get that without a referral was o told the doctor would do it. That was the entire appointment no follow-up nothing. The whole conversation lasted less than minutes. Very disappointed.

Review titled A lot better than expected
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Jennifer - Posted on 19 March 2024
In all honesty I have not been happy with the procedure my mother had at Good Hope to replace a pacemaker - she has had a number of complications since it was fitted - and at the actual fitting lost a lot of blood and subsequently fainted at home - This was concerning as she had a pacemaker fitted for over 10 years - fitted at Solihull hospital and had no such problems - Arriving early for an 08.20 appointment there was some confusion with timing - this was dealt with very quicky and Mom was then seen and had a very thorough appointment. She was given clear, detailed and assuring support provided by the cardiology team yesterday - I would say it was second to none. Most of my mothers fears were heard and responded to - following the process - she felt very faint and I had to hold her up before she fell to the floor - I called for help and was given help immediately including help from the wider cardiology team - who came with a wheel chair and re-checked her blood pressure and pace maker etc and all was as fine as it could be - after something to eat and drink whilst still on site - Mom began to feel a lot better - so just wanted to say well-done to the team members we saw today and in particular to the cariology specialist who we had the original appointment with. Well-done all

Review titled Caring health care professional
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 April 2024
I attended a Sunday morning appointment on an 2 ww after my GP found a lump in my breast. The lady who took the mammogram was excellent. She was calm and caring and the mammogram was carried out with expertise. The next stop was with a lady who carried out an ultrasound, again, she was a very kind person who put me at my ease. Finally, I saw a doctor who assured me that nothing sinister had been detected. The whole process went very smoothly with minimum waiting times. I was very pleased with the care I received.
