  1. Review titled Lovely, Friendly & Caring Team

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 10 June 2024

    Had my first visit to the breast unit after a recent scare (was good news fortunately). The team were so friendly, caring & comforting & I felt genuinely cared for and reassured that I would have been in good hands had my results been different. Wish I could mention names as two individuals stood out but all I can say is that one individual held my hand during a procedure & although I wasn’t too nervous this gesture went a long way & helped me remain calm (thank you so much). I was not kept waiting long between tests & staff were very patient when dealing with a first timer like me! Cannot fault the care & treatment I received at all, thank you all for such a positive experience at a worrying time. You are all angels!

  2. Review titled Amazing staff

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Katie - Posted on 10 June 2024

    I was so worried about my appointment having never attended anything like this prior. I instantly felt at ease greeted by warm slimey faces and every person I met (3 nurses, 2 doctors) were patient, and very reassuring. I was lucky to receive positive news, however should this have been different and being on my own I very very at ease with the whole situation. All down to the amazing staff within this hospital

  6. Review titled Wonderful service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Sue Adams - Posted on 17 January 2024

    I attended today to investigate two areas picked up by a CT scan for something else. The staff were friendly and efficient. Every process was explained in detail. The fact that I had a mammogram, followed by an ultrasound and two small procedures, then consultation with my consultant, was amazing. I didn’t have time to think and worry! I would 100% recommend the Breast Unit.

  7. Review titled Lovely, kind people

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Mrs T - Posted on 24 October 2023

    I had a routine mammogram recently and I can't praise the lovely people enough from reception to the outstanding radiographer. This is such an up close and personal scan but the radiographer was lovely and put me at ease, she was so friendly and happy. They made me feel welcome and were lovely. Thank you.

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Michelle - Posted on 06 November 2023

    Had to wait a while to see a Dr when arrived. However the staff kept us regularly updated of waiting times. Very well organised, fluid from one test to another. Every member of staff that engaged with me introduced themselves by first name and were extremely friendly and empathetic.
