  • From initial consultation to discharge after a hip replacement operation the patient care and dedication of all hospital staff was second to none. Everyone we encountered were only too happy to help and care and provided excellent service. They made my Mother feel at home and at ease and no burden on their time- we would not hesitate to recommend Woodthorpe Hospital for any procedure.

  • Not impressed with Dr Zekia who did my last cataract operation. Found him very brusque & unaproachable. He was very rough & hurt me twice during the operation

  • I no would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire team at the hospital for the outstanding care I received. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion. The medical staff demonstrated exceptional expertise and took the time to explain every step of my treatment, which gave me great confidence and peace of mind. The nurses were attentive and caring, always ensuring my comfort and responding promptly to any concerns. I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the facilities and the efficiency of the service throughout my stay. Every member of staff I encountered contributed to a positive and reassuring experience during what could have been a very stressful time. Thank you all for your dedication and commitment to patient care. Your hard work truly makes a difference, and I am deeply appreciative.

  • Excellent service by all of the team at Woodthorpe, from the reception staff, cleaners, meal prep ladies, nurses, doctors and surgeons, a very pleasant experience which took the fear out of operations and hospitals. Thank you.

  • An absolutely fantastic experience. Everyone was so welcoming and caring; it felt more like going on holiday than a hospital visit. If the whole NHS functioned like this, what a service it would be! I truly believe the top-tier care I received – from the surgeon to the orderly, and the nurses to the receptionists – helped me recover so much faster. In at 7:30 am, surgery, and out by 3:30 pm after a decent lunch. Just amazing. Thank you.

  • From arrival to discharge, as a day patient, I was made to feel very welcome, and was looked after very well. Had my own room, snacks were provided, and it all served to calm my jitters. After my (relatively) small operation I was taken to recovery, and then back to my room, where another snack was provided. My aftercare was explained in detail, and following all the checks, and meds supplied, I was discharged. A very stress-free, pleasant day. Well done to all the staff.
