Review titled Outstanding!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Bridget Beney - Posted on 31 May 2024
Outstanding care shown by the during the whole process of my cataract surgery from the initial assessment, throughout the operation and during the follow up after care. Thank you to all the hospital staff but especially to the wonderful surgeon, his warm and caring opthalmic nurse and to the lovely nurse who insisted on holding my hand during my operation. What a team! At no time did I ever feel like a second class citizen because I was NHS. It is a joy to be able to see clearly again. Can't wait to have the second eye done later this year. I would highly recommend cataract surgery to be done at the Fitzwilliam Hospital.

Review titled Appalling consultation
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 April 2024
My Husband was referred here as an NHS patient following an MRI scan after living with chronic sciatic pain due to a large prolapse at L5. The consultant was running 30 minutes late and was heard loudly complaining at the main reception desk that he had been given to many NHS patients to see. After hearing this and witnessing this attitude, we already had low expectations for the consultation. Once finally called through, the consultant openly declared he was in a bad mood. He clearly didn’t have time for us. My husband wanted time and space to discuss his options but wasnt given this. There was a clear disregard and lack of compassion towards him. NHS patients clearly treated differently despite the fact that the Fitzwilliam are commissioned by the NHS to provide these services and receive NHS funding to do so. We are now returning to our GP to ask to be referred elsewhere. We will not be returning to the Fitzwilliam for my Husbands care.

Review titled Bad Experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 March 2024
After travelling on 3 buses to get to my appt, and being advised that the consultant was running 30 mins late, I asked reception if there was anywhere to purchase a coffee, she advised ‘no sorry’…… only to witness Premium Private paying patients were in a separate lounge drinking complimentary coffee/tea!!!!! I was made to feel downcast and ‘not good enough’. This I believe is discriminatory between Private and NHS patients, disgusting behaviour in this day and age!!!

Review titled Excellent Service and Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rachel - Posted on 25 March 2024
Could not be happier with the service and care I received for my knee arthroscopy. I'd been seeing my surgeon for a few months to check on the progress of my knee before opting to have the surgery. The booking was simple once I received my phone call. The day of the procedure, things went nice and smooth. The nurse looking after me couldn't have done a better job. She explained everything to me (I had no questions to ask after), while also being kind and a sense of humour appropriate to the situation. The physio came to see me beforehand too to show me how to use the crutches and explain the exercises I'd need to do. Before I knew it I was whisked off to be put to sleep. Once I'd come round and stable, I was brought back to my room and onto the hospital bed. I was checked on regularly and after some food and a trip to the toilet I was free to leave with all the information, medication and dressings I needed. Overall, I was very pleased with the care I received.

Review titled Positive experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sharonann - Posted on 13 March 2024
After seeing consultant, I received a cancellation appointment very soon afterwards for my procedure. The staff from, reception to the ward were very friendly and kind. I was looked after very well and the consultant was very reassuring. The ward was small curtained off cubicles which were clean and private, it was a mixed gender ward, butI felt comfortable there. The team in the theatre were kind and attentive and looked after me very well. On the whole a positive experience .

Review titled Great care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jennifer Newton - Posted on 21 January 2024
Tha care I received both before and after my operation was exceptional. I was informed at all times of what was happening to me and made as comfortable as possible after the operation. Excellent service from the receptionists through to the surgeon anesthetist and nursing staff. All were very friendly and made me feel at ease at all times.

Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mr Mon - Posted on 08 December 2023
I had an appoint to for bloodtest and to fit an ecg kit for 24 hours as advised by my doctor at the hospital. my blood tests were done a week after and the Nurse who put the ECG kit on me, they didnt not check if it was "on", when I reached home I noticed it was "off", and had I not checked, the test would have been a total waste. Total careless ness, not happy.
