    I attended today for and MRI from the start of reception and to being called for my appointment was second to none and the staff which performed the operation were very very good cannot praise the whole experience any enough, also the reception staff were very positive re instructions. Will Done.

Its a real plus to receive positives not just about the clinical care patients experience but also the thoughts and feelings patients have surrounding the admin support.

  2. Review titled Amazing urgent care

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Salvatore - Posted on 24 August 2024

    So the urgent care team saved my life . The doctor/GP that I saw , straight away realised that there was a problem with my kidney stone . He rang Canterbury hospital and told them I was coming in . Basically the stone had become lodged and my kidney was swelling up . Had two hr operation . If this GP had not been so vigilant I may not have been there .

    Dear Salvatore, Thank you for your lovely feedback. However I would advise you to contact the GP surgery to pass on your comments as the GP surgery is not managed by East Kent Hospitals. I'm sure he would love to hear your kind words. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. Kind regards Josh Page (Patient Feedback Coordinator)

    My Wife has been calling to speak to the main reception now fir 3 days. The phone just rings and rings. If someone does bother to answer then they put the phone down. How are you suppose to speak to someone. Ridiculous

  6. Review titled Exemplary Service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Jon Silk - Posted on 08 January 2024

    On way to the hospital for a CT scan, my 90 year old father tripped a fell hurting his hip and hands. The staff from reception, through to the nurses and the xray team, were absolutely brilliant and a real credit to your hospital. Definitely my best experience of any hospital to date.

    Attended today for routine eye screening. Service exceptional.Put at ease and felt a human touch. The staff member remembered personal information and didn't feel like the next lemon through the door. Very professional knowledgeable and open to questions. A credit to the NHS.

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    I had an ultrasound at very short notice. The nurse explained the procedure and arranged matters so they were as convenient as possible. The nurse, the sonographer were all very helpful and a pleasure to meet. I was at the hospital at 0845 on Sunday 8 Oct.

  9. Review titled Amazing and speedy service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Natalie Jones - Posted on 13 June 2023

    We had to take my 16 month old to Urgent Care after waiting all day for a call from my Dr's practice. When my childs breathing became worse and temperature increased we made the decision to go to urgent care. After checking in and sitting in the waiting room, my child became abit upset and wheezing loudly. The receptionist heard the wheezing from quite a distance and called for someone to see us straight away. We were so grateful for this. The medical team that then saw my child were so amazing too, trying to keep them calm in a distressing situation and generally being so gentle. After collecting the prescription, within a few hours my child massively improved. So grateful for the service we recieved as it is very upset seeing a child struggling to breath properly

As a parent myself I completely understand what you must have been going through and how invaluable it must have been to have staff act so quickly, professionally and in such a kind manner. I will make sure this is shared with the team.
