  • We were referred here for my husband. The reception staff were brilliant and super polite, but the medical staff were quite abrupt and rude. You do get seen quickly and appointment are incredibly fast but there could be more compassion from the medical team.

  • I spent two days in Woodthorpe Hospital following surgery. I have been extremely happy with the care I have received both pre and post op. The consultant spent time explaining the procedure and potential side effects which was comforting. The nurses and staff were all lovely and very attentive and the facilities were great. So far my post op care has been great. Would recommend.

  • I had a total knee replacement on the 21st of April 26. My stay at Duchy was excellent and could not be faulted in any way. From the moment I walked through that door to the moment I left I was treated with kindness. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole team worked together to ensure one was made to feel as comfortable as possible.

  • I had a knee Arthroscopy carried out by Mr Bhadi in April 2026. Excellent service from the initial consultation through to the operation and after care. I received after care phone calls after my operation I had to call the discharge number with a couple of little concerns. All concerns were dealt with straight away. The nurses who looked after me were excellent. Overall a fantastic service. I highly recommend.

  • I had an operation at Woodlands Hospital in Kettering yesterday, and the care I received was outstanding from start to finish. From the moment I checked in at reception, I was treated with kindness and professionalism. My privacy and dignity were always respected, and every member of the team went above and beyond—from the support staff to the anesthetist and surgeon. Regrettably I cant recall everyone's names but the post-op Nurse in the recovery room and especially the Nurse looking after me in room 107 were fantastic The nursing care was exemplary, and I felt genuinely well looked after throughout. Everything was clearly explained to me, particularly during recovery, including my care plan and medication. I felt informed, reassured, and in very capable hands the entire time. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone needing treatment. The cleanliness and food were 1st rate so thank you to all. With regards Andy
