Review titled Whipps Cross Kids Blood Test: five stars well done!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Patricia Jane Holst - Posted on 04 June 2024
I took my 8 year old daughter to the Junction 3, Children's Blood Test at Whipps Cross Hospital. The staff were so great with her. They out her at ease and were so fast. They were friendly and gentle. Even my daughter said it was a "great" experience. Thank you so much team. I hope you get the recognition you deserve.

Review titled Super experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Today my daughter (19 months) had a blood test, and the team was amazing! I also left the labels at home, but they sorted out for us. Also the blood was taken without a teardrop! Extremely satisfied mum here!

Review titled Worst A&E ever
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 May 2024
I was in a car accident and taken to this a&e in an ambulance and waited for 10 hours total even though I was in a head impact accident and had glass all over me. Genuinely never waited anywhere that long to be seen. Not only that the doctor who did see me was quite ignorant and did not do a full body check despite me saying I was in a car accident although I had another lovely doctor come and examine me. The reception nurses are rude and said I was low priority and for that I waited from 8:30pm to 4am to be seen and when I was seen the first doctor just wiped me down with water and no checks. I will never be coming to this hospital again and I don’t recommend any one else to. Quite a few people had left because of how long the wait time is. It’s ridiculous.

Review titled Excellent Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mary Claire - Posted on 31 May 2024
Thank you all to the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Team/Staff at Whipps Cross Hospital. Today, my 11 years old daughter had her appointment. We turned up at 15:40 pm thinking she was booked at 15:45 pm. When the receptionist checked the booking time, it was actually 14:45 pm!! It was so foolish of me, as a mother, my hearts sinks to the floor, I could not breath. We have waited some kind of investigative scans/procedures since January. I have explained to the two receptionists if they could kindly asked if any possibility to fit my daughter's scan today, we can wait until they are able to do so. Her symptoms are worrying, and as a family we are so stress, it affects immensely her well-being and confidence in school. The two receptionists have tried, first offering to be re-schedule at the earliest possible time and afterwards they have directly approached one of the staff inside if they could fit it my daughter. After 5 tensed mins, a helpful young lad staff came out to the reception took the booking appoinment letter and only 5 mins, two staffs (a young lady and mature male staff) called us in. They made us (my daughter and husband) feel at ease. Explained all the procedures clearly. I was with my daughter throughout the entire 15-20mins scan, very reassuring. Those staffs are polite and courteous. The area is clean and organised. Everyone we encountered are all excellent. From the kind and open-minded receptionists, helpful young lad asking his collegues for help if they can fit in my daughter's scan, the two lovely staffs took us inside. Often we heard so many bad and horrible experiences in our local hospital. Rarely we acknowledge and heard the positive ones. Overall, we have superb experiences so far from Whipss Whipps Hospital. Bless you all and our NHS. Thank You Very Much For All Your Hard Work!!!

Review titled Exemplary gastroenterology service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rod S - Posted on 24 April 2024
I have been in the care of Whipps Cross Gastroenterology for about 18 years from when I was first diagnosed with colitis. Throughout this time, my routine check-ups, periodic surveillance, and ad hoc care have always been exemplary. The nature of my condition means I could experience debilitating symptoms very suddenly, but I know I'm only an email or a phone call away from accessing their timely and reassuring advice if my condition flares. The consultants provide a very caring and timely service. Nothing is too much trouble. Thanks to you all in the Gastroenterology department. Your excellent care has made living with this condition easier. The very best of the NHS.

I attended ED after a fell and hurt my left finger. I was very impressed with my care. The streaming practitioner was friendly and reassuring. Took details and put me at ease straight away. She explained what the process was. I was directed to minor injuries I had a short wait. The nurse that saw me introduced herself and took a thorough history. Reviewed my injury and again explained I needed an xray. I am deaf in one ear and lip read the radiologist and assistant helped me to get into position and also made sure I understood. Back to minor injuries and nurse reviewed me again. Explained treatment for fractured finger, splinted it and gave me advice. I was very impressed with all staff in the department and thank them for the excellent care and kindness they gave me.

Review titled Unprofessional staff
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Ays - Posted on 12 April 2024
I would like to share my experience in Whipps Cross hospital yesterday I have a 4 years old son we went to the children outpatient clinic I had an list from my GP it says ' for children under the age 10 you do not need to book an appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 09:30-3:30 just walk in to the outpatient clinic. I have contacted the hospital to be sure that I don't need an appointment and they confirmed, so I didn't book an blood test appointment for my son and we just walked in to the clinic. When we went there the receptionist explain to me that this is bot acceptable and I have to book an appointment. I explained to them that I have an list shows that I don't need an appointment and also I contacted the hospital to be sure that I would not need one. The whole staff was really rude and unprofessional and unfriendly and unhelpful this was my first time in this hospital and my experience was horrible.

Review titled Speedy service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Veema - Posted on 15 April 2024
Attended on Sunday night (around 10.30pm) after being in alot of pain with my throat, was seen and out in 2.5 hours which was brilliant considering how full the waiting room was! I wasnt entirely sure if coming to A&E was appropriate but I was in alot of pain. The doctor I saw was kind, listened to my concerns and validated them which was really important esp when you're a patient unwell and worried. He explained things incredibly well and I felt really listened to esp after a slighty underwhelming 111 call & 4 days of no sleep! Just wanted to highlight how great the A&E dept was and to thank all the staff for a great experience!
