  • Barry Hayward I am writing this review using my wife’s email: I was an inpatient at Woodthorpe Hospital on 7/8 October 2026 for a “Left Hip Replacement” From initial consultation with Mr Nitin Badhe to present day I have been treated with the utmost respect and involved in every stage of my medical journey. The fact that I am in my mid 80’s was never used as a criteria, the focus has always been on my medical needs and suitably for surgery. The Woodthorpe Hospital team have stayed focused on me and my medical journey. My pre-op was comprehensive and ensured that I medically fit to undergo surgery. My admission on Wednesday 7th October 2026 was seamless as I was escorted to my private en-suite room. The ward staff introduced themselves to me and they immediately commenced the regime of monitoring my stats. The Hotel catering team also introduced themselves and invited me to select my after operation ’breakfast’ and also evening supper. The standard of all food served was exceptionally good. Fresh drinking water was frequently monitored and replaced as needed. Tea or coffee was also made available. My consultant, Mr Nitin Badhe visited me as did the Anaesthetist. Although I was keen to have the operation, because the pain had become unbearable the medical team informed me that I was 3rd to have surgery and this timeframe helped me to manage my pre-op trepidation. My surgery was carried out using a spinal block and I was comfortable and pain free throughout. Within a short time I was back in my room and the ward doctor and nursing professionalism were all contributing factors to my post-op recovery journey. They were all keen to work with me to manage the pain med’s that were available to me especially as the effect of the spinal block diminished. I was ready for discharge on the afternoon of the following day following time spent invaluable time with the Physiotherapist. I feel very grateful to Mr Nitin Badhe and the Woodthorpe Hospital care team all of whom were continually working in harmony not only for me, but for All of the patients under their care. I highly recommend Woodthorpe to anybody seeking Private Healthcare or an NHS referral. My own surgery was under NHS referral and I feel privileged to have been a patient. My heartfelt thanks go to Mr Nitin Badhe, along with thanks to the anaesthetist, the surgical team, ward staff, physiotherapist and catering team, you combined commitment to Woodthorpe Hospital (part of Ramsey Group) along with your devotion and dedication to your respective careers benefited me - thank you! Incidentally, I am 7 days post operation and I am progressing exceptionally well - Barry Hayward aged 85

  • Had day surgery at Woodthorpe in September. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience at every stage staff were friendly and attentive from reception to my pre op call. On the day my room was clean and modern and nurses and Doctor Green were excellent. Most importantly the medical care was outstanding.

  • I had bilateral cataract surgery under General Anaesthetic at Oaks Hospital last week. From my first consultation with Mr Chrys Dimitriou, through pre-assessment with a wonderfully kind and understanding nurse (Mihaela) and my admission and care last week, I cannot fault my experience. I am a very anxious patient -despite having a background in Health- but my fears were unfounded. The care I received was exceptional, the nurse who looked after me in the day unit (Katy) was very kind and compassionate and had read all my information regarding adjustments I needed (documented and shared by Mihaela) which was highly reassuring. The theatre team went above and beyond to make my experience comfortable and I felt very safe and able to be involved in decisions about my care. Special thanks to ODP Becky, Theatre Manager Clare, Anaesthetist Dr Jayasekara and the expertise of Mr Dimitriou. Only 24 hours post surgery I was able to watch tv and type emails on my phone! Also I would like to thank Mr Dimitriou’s secretary who patiently answered many questions in the weeks leading up to my surgery. Absolutely outstanding care. Thank you, Oaks!

  • I cannot praise Woodthorpe Hospital enough! I recently attended for day surgery, and from start to finish, my experience was absolutely wonderful. Every member of staff I encountered was friendly, kind, professional and genuinely caring. They made me feel completely at ease, and I felt so well looked after throughout my entire stay. The hospital itself was spotlessly clean, and the level of care and attention I received was exceptional. It's never nice having to undergo surgery, but the wonderful staff made the whole experience so much easier. I felt safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for. A huge thank you to everyone involved in my care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Woodthorpe Hospital to anyone. An absolutely fantastic team!

  • From my initial experience of consultation with the specialist surgeon through to my first operation everything went extremely smoothly. Any worries I had were totally dispelled as all of the staff from reception, the nurses in and outside of surgery were true professionals, focused but interested in helping and explaining the procedures. Exceedingly spotless throughout, rooms and wards glistening!
