Review titled Horrible service
by Mohammad Kaushar - Posted on 05 June 2024
I went in the A&E yesterday at 9pm. I have waited the entire night for a doctor but no one was there to attend me. In that room, two mentally unstable person was with us who kept shouting and screaming the entire night. They were slanging everyone. The entire environment was chaotic and all of us who were already sick became more sick because of the chaotic environment. I am a diabetic patient and have requested for dinner and breakfast but didn’t get any food/drink. How do you expect a patient to be waiting in there for 15 to 20 hours without any food??? After a whole night without any sleep and food as a diabetic patient, I felt even more sick by going to the hospital. Then in the morning I could not tolerate it anymore and so left the hospital by giving a withdrawal notice. If this continues like this, we patients will be not willing to go hospitals anymore and better die at home without getting any medical treatments at least we will get some love and care from our family rather be in the hospital.

The African lady who was scanning my pregnant wife was very very rude. However, the Indian lady on the computer did not respond.

Review titled Great service for my child at the Elm breast clinic
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 May 2024
I went there with my son - due to concerns with him. We were very nervous. The staff were amazing and were so friendly. They really helped put us at ease. One of the nurses was asking my son about football - which is great as that is one of his fave topics. The other great thing is that the scan, appointment and follow up was all done on the same day. Which helped massively. Thank you all - I hope this message gets forwarded to the team.

Review titled King’s George Hospital A&E
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Alice - Posted on 06 May 2024
Staff on Reception in A&E of King George’s hospital were rude, unprofessional and took my right to choose a course of options for my health. They added to my stress levels and whilst verbally abusing me, immediately fell back on we can get someone if we don’t like what you’re saying to us. I felt threatened throughout yet no one from the staff supported me. The only support I got was from patients who reported the same treatment. I feel sorry for elederly patients who are vulnerable in this atmosphere. A&E have created a problem when none was necessary and reflect badly on the NHS and those who are actually doing a good job.

Review titled Out patient Gynaecology
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Kathy B - Posted on 23 May 2024
Arrived for outpatient appt early wait to be seen. patient with later appt times was seen before myself. Checked with reception and this was brought to the attention of nurse running clinic. It would appear I was overlooked. The nurse running the clinic had no interaction with myself and did not acknowledge any patients waiting. Staff seem happy to interact with each other but not much communication with patients in the out patient part. the consultant was pleasant and apologized which I didn’t expect as it wasn’t her fault I had been overlooked. This I felt affected my interaction in my appt and how much time I could spend asking questions.

Review titled Avoid this hospital if you can!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 May 2024
Please be careful if you have elderly relatives in this hospital as you will have to chase staff around for every little thing, even to put your drip back on which takes 5 seconds to do is too much work for them! There was only 1 helpful nurse who was being bullied into doing everything by the other nurses who all sat around gossiping about other staff/patients and laughing at this nurse who didn’t seem happy We waited 11 hours in A&E to be seen by doctors who were both very unprofessional, both doctors didn’t know how to speak with with their patients! One of the doctors kept mocking the other doctor every time she spoke which was quite bizarre. This is the third time we’ve used this hospital and will be avoiding it in future as other wards in this hospital have been 10 times worse in our experience.

Review titled Horrible Staff
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 May 2024
Hospital wasn’t even as busy so it’s not as though the staff were under pressure. Receptionist staff were awful and have no manners or decorum. Spoke very rudely and snapped at patients asking valid questions or passing on information given by the doctors they had seen. The staff were working the A&E department between 8-11pm deserved to be sacked for their lack of human decency. Spoke and treated people so badly, when they have come to you as they are sick, unwell or hurt. Nobody goes to A&E for the fun of it- they are there as they are desperate. Doctors were great but the hospital needs to train their staff adequately or not hire any old hag to work the front desk. It’s shame photography isn’t allowed otherwise I would name and shame the culprits and let social media do its work.

Review titled Great care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kathleen Hull - Posted on 30 May 2024
Attended Juniper Ward thismorning for a procedure. The ward clerk was friendly and welcoming. The nurse who initially took my details was very caring and made me feel at ease and actually came to hold my hand during the procedure as I was feeling anxious. Thankyou so much!! Then came the procedure, everything was explained to me fully in a very caring manner and throughout the procedure too. A very big thankyou to the Endoscopy Team

Review titled Fantastic service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 May 2024
I came to A&E with concerns about difficulties breathing at night due to Whooping cough. I was really worried. I visited the hospital on the advice of NHS 11. I was triaged straight away and waited for just over an hour to be seen by a doctor. He was incredibly professional and reassuring and I was put at ease and am extremely grateful. NHS is constantly criticised, but I couldn't have received quicker or better service anywhere else! Thank you.
