  • When approaching North Downs Hospital, it looks a bit like Fawlty Towers. Thankfully that’s where the similarity ends. The staff are very efficient and friendly. The building is immaculately clean. Parking is easy and free. Can’t find fault with any aspect of my experience.

  • I was a NHS patient at the Berkshire independent hospital in Reading that is a Ramsay healthcare provider. I’ve had operations on both my shoulders within a year of each other. The staff there were lovely and very attentive. Thank goodness both ops were successful and of course followed up with physio. It’s my physiotherapist that’s prompted me to leave a review. Hannah, has been amazing so approachable and took the time to show me each action needed and explained which area of my shoulders the exercise was targeted. I truly believe this is why I’ve made fantastic progress ahead of schedule. So thank you Hannah I hope you get the recognition you deserve so again thank you

  • My experience was with Tyler ( NEC) on the telephone as my first port of call re my painful knee. Tyler took copious notes, read them back to me, researched the appropriate knee specialists and all whilst being considerate, professional, polite, caring, assiduous and efficient. This gave a marvellous first impression of Ramsay Health and I thank him.
