Review titled Absolutely superb
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Graham Truman - Posted on 13 March 2025
I was taken ill on Sunday morning 9/3/2025 My wife called an ambulance they arrived quite quickly treated me and then blue lighted me to Colchester general hospital, on arrival I was taken through to the doctors department and from then on the care and help I received was absolutely amazing. The doctors,nurses and even the porters were busy but I really can’t praise them enough. Graham Truman

Review titled Phenomenal care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Andrew Ward - Posted on 02 April 2025
Yes you can tell the staff are severely over worked, but the kindness and empathy shown with our youngest was as if they were family. Made to feel very reassured at all stages of surgery, if however there were delays, likely due to reduced number of surgeons. Staff had to deal with a significantly dangerous situation involving a young patient, who dealt with it with the same care and compassion. Sad situation and we hope it was resolved well for all parties. Car park was chaos outside of Sunday hours.

Review titled Great Practice.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carol Pisani - Posted on 04 February 2025
I was seen on time. The staff were very courteous and explained who they were and what would happen during the procedure. They checked that I understood what would happen. During the procedure they made sure I was feeling well and could feel no pain. I was kept fully informed what was happening at each stage. When the procedure was finished they again made sure I was feeling fine. The explanation and demonstration of how to use the equipment was very thorough. I really do not think there could be any improvement.

Review titled Thank goodness for their professionalism
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 February 2025
Visited with a escalating skin infection previously reviewed twice by remote Gp service. The person who review me, thought differently to the initial diagnosis, took the time, consulted with her senior colleague, and identified shingles. This early diagnosis and treatment, saved me a world of pain, considering how bad it could have got on the face, so to the 2 ladies that helped me, thank you, your professionalism and diligence is appreciated.

All staff were very polite and helpful, the Urology nurse was very good at explaining the procedure which was carried out relatively painlessly.

Review titled CT colonoscopy
Rated 4 stars out of 5

Today I met two very friendly and caring and joyous female radiologists that put me at ease as soon as they saw me and dealt with me very professionally and with great care. They worked very well together and are a good team, especially in this fiend of investigation. Thank you ladies.

Review titled Fantastic Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Danielle - Posted on 05 February 2025
I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the staff who were part of my care whilst I was in Fordham Ward. Also to the anaesthesia team before I had my surgery on my ankle that required an internal fixation procedure. The level of care was outstanding and they certainly put me at ease, as I was very nervous before my surgery. Thank you to everyone who took care of me from start to finish. Including the ward clerk who went above and beyond in sorting out my paperwork.

Review titled Unable to contact A&E re: very elderly relative
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 December 2024
The automatic call handling system for the hospital is useless and it took about 6 attempts for it to act get all the way through the announcement and allow me to speak to a receptionist. The receptionist was very helpful and put me through to A&E. A&E phone rang and rang until an announcement informed me there was nobody to answer call and to call back later. I was trying to get an update on a very elderly relative who had been in A&E all night. I had no information as to their condition or even if they have had something to eat or drink in the last 15 hours. Dreadful service!
