Patient Feedback

Hear from our patients talk about their recent experience with us

I recently had an operation at the Woodthorpe. The staff were friendly and helpful, the ward was clean and communications were well organised. Honestly the process was faultless. Its been a few weeks now but I want to give a massive thank you to the nurse looking after me (an East Asian man whose name has slipped my mind) - he really took the time to ease my anxieties. I would recommend the woodthorpe.

Woodthorpe Hospital - Friday, 20 February 2026
All the staff were all very professional and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and I felt very safe in their care

Euxton Hall Hospital - Friday, 20 February 2026
I had my full knee replacement at Woodthorpe Hospital on Saturday 14th February, and I can honestly say that from the moment I walked through the door, the staff were absolutely amazing. I was extremely nervous about my procedure, but every single member of the team made me feel completely at ease. From the welcoming receptionist to the caring ward nurses, the anaesthetist, the surgeon, and the theatre nurses — everyone was fabulous, professional, and incredibly calming. The care and support they gave me throughout my time there was truly second to none. My surgeon, Mr Nitin Badhe, kept me fully informed throughout the entire process and took the time to address all of my concerns. His reassurance and expertise made a huge difference to my experience and helped ease my anxiety. I would highly recommend Woodthorpe Hospital to anyone considering treatment there. What a fantastic hospital and team — keep doing the amazing work you do!

My experience at Woodthorpe Hospital has been second to none. I have recently had a hip replacement and am currently awaiting the other, and from start to finish the care has been exceptional. Every single person I came into contact with was incredible, and everything was handled so efficiently. After being told by my GP surgery that they couldn’t remove my staples for three weeks and that I should attend a walk-in centre, I felt quite concerned. That same afternoon, I received a welfare call from a lovely lady (I believe her name was Jenny). She was so caring and proactive, and immediately arranged an appointment for me on the correct date given by the nurses. That level of attention and follow-up really meant a lot. All the staff on the ward were amazing. I had to stay slightly longer than expected, but I never once felt like an inconvenience — only genuine care and concern. Raymond, my first nurse, was especially wonderful. He was friendly, took the time to explain everything clearly, checked in regularly, and even came to say goodbye before going on his days off. That personal touch says everything about the standard of care. Dimple, my physiotherapist, has the patience of a saint. She made sure I was truly safe and confident before letting me progress, which gave me so much reassurance. The whole experience has completely put me at ease and has made me feel confident and ready for my second hip replacement. I truly cannot recommend Woodthorpe Hospital highly enough.

After waiting since October 2023 to have my operation, then given a date that was then cancelled (luckily rebooked within 3 weeks) the staff at Woodthorpe hospital were fantastic. Gen and Lucy who looked after me were so incredibly nice. The lady who took my down to the operating room (cant remember her name, but has an amazing stitch tattoo) was hilarious and put me at ease and my fantastic surgeon Viran has done a great job.

Woodthorpe Hospital - Friday, 20 February 2026
Excellent care even in Christmas week! All staff were kind and professional. It’s a small hospital so staff get to know their patients quickly. Thank you.

Rowley Hospital - Friday, 20 February 2026
I recently underwent surgery for Dupuytren's contracture at Woodthorpe Hospital, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment I walked through the doors, the level of care and professionalism was outstanding. Reception: The front-of-house team was welcoming, efficient, and made the check-in process completely stress-free. Ward Staff: The nursing team on the ward was attentive and kind, ensuring I was comfortable and well-informed both before and after my procedure. Surgical Team: The operation itself went smoothly. I felt I was in expert hands throughout, and the surgical team took the time to answer all my questions, which really put my mind at ease. Aftercare: The follow-up and discharge process were handled with genuine care, focusing on my recovery and pain management.

Woodthorpe Hospital - Friday, 20 February 2026
Wonderful hospital and amazing staff . Had two operations here for both bunions and would highly recommend. Perfect treatment and care from start to finish. The only thing I would say is , its not easy to get through on the telephone, had some difficulties getting someone to answer to assist me, but otherwise 5 star service. 🌟

Woodthorpe Hospital - Friday, 20 February 2026
Excellent hospital and conditions.All staff kind and friendly which is needed when having any kind of surgery.Mr Badhe thorough and professional and makes one feel at ease.

Woodthorpe Hospital - Friday, 20 February 2026
I had a Holep Prostate operation here and I can honestly say the staff and surgeons responsible were fantastic. The hospital is bright airy and ever so clean. Food is first class and the care you receive is just wonderful. Altogether a very good experience.

New Hall Hospital - Friday, 20 February 2026
I had a full knee replacement nearly 4 weeks ago I was very anxious but the medical team made me feel at ease before my operation I just found after my operation I didn’t know how much pain I was in the night was so long because I couldn’t sleep because of the pain but the team were there with pain relief, I thought that somebody from the surgery team would come round to see me before I went home to say how the operation went and I think it should be put on my discharge notes how many clip I had in my knee because I went and had them out 2 weeks after then a week after that I found another one that was under a scab and some glue the rooms and stay and food were lovely .
