Patient Feedback

Hear from our patients talk about their recent experience with us

  • Recently had a total hip replacement performed by Mr Christos Plakogiannis. Seamless from the onset. One amazing surgeon, an anaesthetist and theatre staff who were brilliant. Caring nurses and attentive health care workers. From being absolutely terrified I am now walking with confidence and pain free. My life changed for the better 2 weeks ago because of some consumate professionals and I really can't thank them enough.

  • Firstly, I want to express my immense gratitude for the NHS. I am so incredibly grateful that I was able to have my procedure at a private hospital, Woodlands Kettering by Ramsay Health Care. My experience from start to finish has been absolutely amazing. My initial consultation with Mr Kelkar was highly informative. He was incredibly sympathetic, understanding, and managed to get me onto the waiting list very quickly. He explained the procedure in full detail and answered all of my questions with a very polite and professional manner. On the day of my surgery, the exceptional care continued. The reception staff on arrival were so friendly and welcoming. The nurses who prepared me for my procedure were reassuring and went the extra mile to make me feel completely comfortable; they clearly have a true passion for what they do, and it really shows. My post-surgery care was amazing. Because I was under anaesthetic, I have unfortunately forgotten a few names, which I am incredibly sorry for, but I do remember Emma and Sue. They were honestly fantastic, carrying out regular checks and being so genuinely caring. The entire team working on the day of my surgery (3rd July 2026) thoroughly deserves commendation. The facilities themselves are lovely, beautiful, and spotlessly clean. I stayed overnight, which was a wonderful experience; the hospital bed was very comfortable, and the room had a smart TV and great climate control to keep it nice and cool on a hot day. Regular food and drinks were also provided. Unfortunately, I required a further visit to the hospital yesterday, but I am so appreciative of how the team managed to see me on the day with such short notice. A massive, massive thank you to Cristina, a nurse on the outpatient ward, who was honestly incredible. She regularly checked on my welfare and was so polite, caring, and courteous. She managed to fit my catheter with minimal pain or discomfort, making a difficult situation so much more manageable. I am so, so grateful to her. Thank you so much to the whole Woodlands Hospital team. I really appreciate everything you have done for me so far. I cannot recommend this hospital highly enough. Oliver C

  • Cannot give less than 5 stars to the staff at Woodlands who have seen me today for a bilateral inguinal hernia surgery. Carolyn the ward nurse was absolutely lovely, fantastic bedside manner and kept her chill the whole way through despite a difficult patient being on the ward. Alison who came to get me to walk me to theatre was a complete diamond and had me laughing away as she could tell I was extremely nervous. The entire team in the operating theatre were fantastic with me, coaching me and making sure I was comfortable. Unsure of the lady's name in resus, but she was also incredible. A fantastic experience all around and I will for sure be back should I need any further medical attention (touch wood I don't though! 😂)
