  • Following a knee injury, I attended the Woodlands Hospital to seek advice. My friends recommended that I made an appointment to see Mr Plakogiannis, the Orthopaedic Consultant. I found Mr Plakogiannis to be very approachable, knowledgeable and reassuring. Following an MRI scan (at Woodlands), I had another consultation and the cause of my pain was identified. If and when my symptoms worsen, I will certainly be returning to discuss possible surgical solutions. The entire process was easy and the appointments were booked at times that were convenient to me. Communication has been excellent throughout - an additional thank you to Mr Plakogiannis' Secretary, Linda. I strongly recommend the Woodlands Hospital.

  • A nice welcoming and small clean hospital. All the staff I met were kind and helpful. It was nice to have a private cubicle and wait there with a close family member both before and after my surgery.

  • This was my first visit to Woodlands and I felt the service from the friendly staff made me feel very pleased with my choice of hospitals. The waiting area was very well set out with chairs and tables unlike some waiting rooms of rows of chairs. My appointment was on time with Mr Shukla and very little time waiting to have an X-Ray and blood pressure readings.
