Review titled Excellent Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Frances Alexander - Posted on 27 November 2023
I attended A&E with a dislocated shoulder on 27 November 2023. I would like to thank everyone I came in contact with for their swift attention to my situation. From nurse at recpetion who gave me pain relief, the nurse & porter who took me to X-ray, the nurses & doctor who manipulated my shoulder back in to place couldn't have been more caring and considerate. I was in excruciating pain and their dedication made the whole experience bearable. Thank you.

Review titled Very efficient, friendly and caring
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Gary Clark - Posted on 30 November 2023
I went in for a colonoscopy due to being flagged for bowel cancer screening. The process of not knowing what to expect, of course, is very stressful. I was amazed at the efficiency of the whole process from arrival through discharge. The staff at check-in, the nurse in the theater, and the doctor were all very friendly, caring and concerned about how I was feeling. Everyone I came in contact with was helpful and reassuring. I have read many stories about Milton Keynes Hospital, and was concerned about my visit. After today's experience, I would not hesitate to recommend this particular procedure and department to anyone.

Review titled Endoscopy isn't listed for reviews - but they were great
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Tadhg - Posted on 30 October 2023
Had a colonoscopy in the Endoscopy Department that isn't listed for reviews. Superb care and understanding from the whole team from pre-procedure phone calls through to post-procedure checks. A real understanding of how to support someone having a something happen to them which they haven't experienced before.

Review titled Awful dermatology experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 July 2023
My experience relates to a dermatology appointment I had last week and is no reflection on other areas of the hospital or other doctors. After having to wait months for a dermatology appointment I was greeted with a very disappointing visit. I was looking forward to getting a second opinion through the NHS, but upon entering to see the doctor and starting to explain my situation I was almost immediately put down and that I shouldn't be seeing the NHS as it wasn't an NHS matter, they can't help me. He then proceeded to repeat "I'm going to send your GP a hard letter". As if I was in the wrong and waisting their time for being there. This gave me a negative feeling, but I continued to try to explain my issues. I felt as if I didn't have the time to go through it all. Pictures were taken and presented on a computer screen to which the doctor pointed out that I do have what I already knew I had and that nothing can be done and to wait maybe 5-7 years where things may improve. I could try this one treatment, but that he's not an expert in this area. He then said "It's a bad job done". This made me feel really off. I was then ushered out of the room, I don't think the appointment was more than 5-10 minutes. There was no examination of my skin as expected for any underlying conditions, I couldn't even explain everything and forgot to ask about something that was important. I left feeling extremely emotional. At the very least you should know these things can have a big impact on a patient, not matter how big or small their problems are or if you have any expertise in the area. You should be mindful of their mental health and what they may be going through. I wasn't able to continue working that day and had to take some time off. In fact, my whole week was a mess and my mental health has suffered more because of this, I feel like I have been left in the dark.

Review titled Great professional staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kathy - Posted on 11 July 2023
Went to A&E department today, I found all staff to be very helpful and very professional, the doctor I saw really cared, was great. Explained everything to me and was so professional. She made me feel at easy. I went away understand exactly what was wrong. The only thing I would say that did confuse me was the wait time on board said originally 103 hours and 19 mins then changed to 8 hours 23 mins. I didn’t wait that long at all was seen and out door under 4 hours. Great team on today in that department, the X-ray staff also great and amazing

Review titled Appaling lack of compassion
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Hilary King - Posted on 06 August 2023
I have cancer My family live abroad. Arrangements were in place for my family to be with me to hear the prognosis. They were already in the country when the appointment was cancelled by post, with one day’s notice. Another appointment arranged for weeks hence. This shows a total lack of compassion, nay professionalism either.

Review titled Outstanding Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anne-Marie Zervos - Posted on 13 June 2023
I brought my son to be fitted with orthotic insoles to help with a back injury. The orthotic practitioner was absolutely fabulous - assessing my son, sourcing appropriate insoles, fitting them & explaining everything to him in such a way that he really understood how they worked properly. His assistant, again excellent, recorded all the details during the appointment. Thank-you very much to the team.
