  • I had total knee replacement surgery on 1st July. My experience of Woodthorpe Hospital was extremely positive. All the staff were amazing and I was made to feel very relaxed and well cared for pre op, during my surgery and post op. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. My room was immaculate and well equipped with everything I needed. I am on the road to recovery and now being looked after by the excellent physio team. I would highly recommend this hospital and the wraparound care the excellent team provide. Thank you so much! Alison

  • I couldn't have been referred to a better hospital. I had avoided having my gallbladder removed for 3 years but the damage to my liver caused after pregnancy and increased pain I knew I had to do something. Luckily, I was seen by Dr. Edward Alabraba. He sensed my anxiety and nerves a mile off and was so reassuring, professional and confident in his ability I decided to go ahead with the surgery. I had an appointment date within about 4 months of my first consultation which was incredible for an NHS patient. Last Friday, I had my keyhole surgery. The staff are incredibly friendly, the catering staff, nurses (Raymond, Gen and another lady who I can't remember her name) all great. Provided biscuits, toast, cups of tea and on time with all the medication. Own private room with a toilet, fan, TV. Just so relaxing, I can never sleep in hospitals but had no problems here. The nurse who came to collect me for theatre was a gem, I remember she had a colourful scrub cap and she said her child worked in the theatre so she knew I was in safe hands was so lovely! She knew I was terrified but did everything to distract me before the surgery including gently unplaiting my hair and saying how lovely it was. In the operation Dr. Alabraba made sure it was fully successful and went smoothly despite there being more damage than my scans at other hospitals showed. So grateful that I can lead a normal life again now. Thank you 🩷 Please send my thanks to Dr. Alabraba and the lovely theatre lady with the colourful scrub cap! ✨
