Patient Feedback

Hear from our patients talk about their recent experience with us

  • Amazing experience today. Staff are very caring and understanding, the guy at the reception very polite. My appointment was at 10am. At 9:59 I was already in the consultation room and 10:15 lying on a table ready for the procedure. No delays or waitings anywhere. Straight to business, all explained in detail. The doctor even went through the form with me summarising what I need to sign. All is very clean, no stains on the carpet or marks on the walls. Everyone had very clean shoes :-) Thx guys!

  • Literally the best hospital experience I’ve ever had. Just had surgery for loose skin following successful weight loss on medication, also provided from this hospital. Absolutely first rate from start to finish. Lovely theatre team, clean and beautifully decorated, such kind nurses and healthcare assistants. Yummy food…. I almost want to move in! Thankyou so much Woodland Hospital. You should be very proud of the tremendous care you’ve given.
