Patient Feedback

  • I recently attended Cobalt Hospital for an endoscopy and I was very apprehensive about the procedure. I didn’t need to be worried because I was soon put at my ease and every single person in the hospital was kind and caring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cobalt Hospital.

  • Fabulous experience overall was amazing by the whole team. Only recommendation I have is if there’s a budget, an occupational therapist would be beneficial in service to support with functional considerations around the home for example perching stool I would of benefited from to enable me to still do basic tasks during the first couple of weeks of none weight bearing.

When I went there for an injection in my troublesome foot the theatre staff were extremely reassuring and despite a dreadful prior experience with another practitioner they really helped me relax!

  • Felt compelled to put a review on after my mam’s procedure at this hospital yesterday. Whilst it is always daunting to have such appointments, my mam said she needn’t have worried as they were nothing short of amazing! My mam is 77 and said her dignity and respect were promoted at all times and any prior anxiety or apprehension alleviated, by staff who were warm and caring in their approach and took the time to inform her of each step and what to expect along the way. My mam wanted me to put a review on to show some appreciation and recognition to the professionalism and outstanding care from the surgical staff, nurse and admin, who are all a credit to this hospital.

  • I had face and neck surgery performed. From my very first appointment ,reception greeted me with such warmth and understanding. Mr Peter Hodgkinson, consultant plastic surgeon saw me several times before surgery and after surgery. He was extremely thorough and explained the procedure in a way which I fully understood. He explained the procedure more than once and was more than happy to do so. He is realistic and was very honest re the out come. I had full confidence in Mr Hodgkinson through out every part of my treatment. All staff delivered excellent care. The anaethetist and all theatre staff put me at complete ease. The after care could not be faulted. I would highly recommend the Cobalt for any procedures you are considering having done.
