Review titled So efficient and friendly
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by NicolaH - Posted on 23 March 2024
Everyone at the Breast Surgery unit was so friendly and reassuring. Like most women visiting the centre I was very nervous of what might be discovered. The service was so quick and efficient within an hour I had a chat with a consultant, mammogram, ultrasound and a cyst drained followed by a final quick chat with thr consultant. It was a really positive experience.

Review titled Have written to Dr on 14/2/24 regarding a patient
Rated 1 star out of 5
by An Jo - Posted on 18 March 2024
We are a 3rd party company and have written to a patients consultant to clarify no changes since we last wrote. The customer is due to go on holiday tomorrow and needed the info before then. Have tried to call, all day Thursday, Friday, and again Today with no luck. Really not amazing. Customer is losing money and cant work due to the consultant taking their time with reports.

Review titled Extreme wait times causing significant developmental delays
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 February 2024
We have been waiting for our child to have surgery to fit grommets and remove their tonsils and adenoids since November 2020. Our child has failed several hearing tests and suffers terribly with reoccorruing tonsillitis and sleep apnea. We have been let down by the ent department who do not take our worries seriously enough. Our child is behind on their speech and language development and is constantly missing out due to being too unwell and needing to rest with antibiotics. Consent was signed in January 2023 for this surgery to take place and we are still waiting. It isn't good enough. I've tried phoning ent for an update and I have left several voicemail and get no response. How can children be left to suffer for years during their most important developmental years?

Review titled Hemswell and Branston Ward
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 February 2024
Every visit provided great and compassionate practice. Very satisfied with care received by Hemswell ward. Very effective and communicative, even when appointment was delayed we were impressed by the service given (regular updates and communication). Had a mva procedure which I can’t fault the process and care, as a nurse myself and this being my first time as the patient. Hemswell ward and their staff made a difficult miscarriage experience more bareable with their care given, thank you. Also like to thank Branston ward for being so easily accessible for advice and reassurance and being so easy reach with answering their phone when I called with a concern.

Review titled Abysmal
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Fawcett-Howitt - Posted on 19 April 2024
I took my son to his max fax appointment on the 3rd of February because his jaw dislocated due to having hEDS. I was dismissed by the Dr, he was very rude & snapped at me, saying it wasn't a dislocation. I felt the entire consultation was a waste of my time & frankly I'd like a second opinion, as my son cannot eat or drink when his jaw does this. To add insult to injury, we've had no letter from the consultant, which I needed in order to give to my son's dentists so they would give him braces, as it was suggested this would help. I put down the lack of letter to the post being a bit rubbish but I called my GP to ask if they had a copy they could email me, I my to find that 1, they don't & 2, they've no record of this appointment at all. I'm incredibly disappointed by this. Most of the appointments I've had for my son have been very good. This however, is abysmal. 0/10

Review titled help needed
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by harry carter - Posted on 24 February 2024
I was suffering from very high blood pressure 205/105 pulse 39. I was very short of breath. I phoned 111 for advice and i received a phone call from a doctor who advised me to go to a/e. I was taken by car by my partner. I kept falling asleep in the car. Once there i processed and my ailments recorded. I then waited. I was within a short time checked on ecg which was fine. I had my blood pressure taken when was the same. I was so tired i could hardly keep awake and i had to have leverage by way of the nurses arm to walk without staggering. I was guided to a chair amongst a huge amount of patients. I fell asleep in the chair only to be nudged by the patient in the next chair. I then fell asleep again this time politely Pushed back (i was sleeping on her shoulder). I was there about an hour and the patient next chair had been there two hours. Enough i thought. I am not going to die in a chair. I was so so tired. I signed a discharge paper and my partner picked me up and took me home. I slept for 3 hours. We got the local doctor to authorised an increase in Blood pressure tablets but alas it has barely made a difference. Blood pressure still high weak legs short of breath but one good thing..i am at home

Review titled The whole team were amazing
by Alison724 - Posted on 12 January 2024
It it so much easier now having a dedicated pre-op assessment clinic. I was made to feel at ease from when I arrived to leaving. The whole team were amazing. I know before an operation can be a stressful time, we become nervous, but don’t worry about going to the clinic. I was cared for and they were not distracted at any time. Everything was explained to me and I was encouraged to ask anything. An excellent visit and definitely I would say a centre of excellence. Thank you

Dear Alison724 Thank you so much for this positive feedback. The aim of pre op assessment is to make the patients journey to surgery as smooth and stress free as possible. To know that we are achieving this is very good to hear. I will ensure that this is feed back to the pre op teams. Kind Regards

Review titled Wonderfully kind staff
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Chloem92 - Posted on 19 January 2024
I phoned the ENT operations waiting line recently, after being told that the operation I was waiting for would have been completed in November/December 2023. I spoke with a man at the service who was so unbelievably kind and went above and beyond to help me. When enquiring about an operation date, I became very tearful (as I've been suffering the symptoms of this issue for approx 3 years now and have constant discomfort and pains, and it impacts massively on most aspects of my life). I informed him that I had been struggling with this for a very long time and was starting to feel like the light was further away from the end of the tunnel than ever. He then told me he would be in contact, and the phone call ended. Approximately 15 minutes later he called me back, and stated that he had managed to move some things around in schedules and provided me with a date for the operation I am so desperately waiting for. I was so thankful to this man, he took everything I said on board, which nobody else had done up until this point despite me contacting them several times. He really is a brilliant example of the NHS. Thank you
