Review titled Fabulous staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 December 2022
Attended for a proctogram in Radiology..waiting area c. If I'm honest I can think of better days out but there we are!! However the staff were amazing, friendly, efficient, good humoured and kind throughout. The doctor was incredibly thorough, kind and considerate explaining the procedure before hand and throughout. Appointment ran like clockwork. Fabulous team and positive experience.

Review titled Mixed Experience
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Andy Bradford - Posted on 28 July 2023
I was diagnosed with parkinsons in November. I had gone to the appointment alone and was told by the consultant I had 'a parkinsons look' and after some motor skills tests the consultant confirmed it. He gave me no hope and simply said it was inevitable that it would progress. The after care was 'pick up a leaflet on the way out'. Six months later I saw the parkinsons nurse who was brilliant! She gave me lots of encouragement and support as I've chosen not to take any medication at the moment. She made me feel like my life really isn't over yet. And she got me a new consultant

Review titled Poor performance
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Richard Elkington - Posted on 14 November 2022
The sleep clinic have provided me with first class care for years, however, the lack of any sense of professional service when it comes to answering telephone calls is non existent. Having tried many times to get someone to answer a phone I have decided to make a 20 mile round trip on the off chance that someone maybe at home, eT had a better chance of getting a response. If you don’t have time to answer a ringing phone have it taken out. A frustrated service user

Review titled Hysteroscopy with spinal block
by venusns68 - Posted on 22 November 2022
I was brought into LGH for a Hysteroscopy, Biopsy and to have a coil inserted with an overnight stay due to it all being done under a spinal block. From the moment I walked through the door they were ready for me. Every single member of staff from porters, receptionists, healthcare assistants, nurses, student midwives, catering and Dr's were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone seemed to genuinely want to help and to enjoy their work and they made me feel so comfortable in what could've been embarrassing situations. I was given pain relief to keep on top of any pain and medication for nausea, the place was spotless and the theatre team wonderful even with a difficult spinal to do. I would not hesitate to recommend or return if needed; thank you everyone who cared for me.

Took my 96 year old Mum to the radiology dept yesterday ( saturday). Superb service and would like to thank them for their professionalism especially the lovely lady on reception who told me she had worked there for 31 years and who was constantly dealing with patients and calls whilst I waited for my Mum to come back out.What a star! Once again thank you.

Review titled Amazing staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Victoria Willis - Posted on 31 October 2022
I recently had a full hysterectomy at Leicester general hospital. This also included a pre op service the week before. I wish to say that all staff involved were absolutely amazing in every way. I was even surprised how nice the food was too. I think everyone working in the NHS do an amazing job and wish to let them know that they are all true heroes. I am very proud of you all and the service you provide. Keep up the good work.

Review titled Like a vision from hell
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 October 2022
My father is on ward 1. A woman with dementia screams constantly. A broken call button beeps piercingly every second. While I was there one of the younger patients became loud and abusive threatening to break the jaw of an older confused patient who had wandered into his room by mistake. This hospital never answers the phone and gives scant information to relatives. When I arrived I found Dad dressed in a thin cotton top about 10 sizes too small. He had no water by his bed. He said he was made to undertake a cognitive test in the early hours of the morning, a time when he felt utterly exhausted and disoriented. This is only day one and I’m very worried for his welfare if his has to stay at this hospital.

Went to the Epilepsy clinic and was seen by a very experienced doctor who diagnosed my condition during the first consultation. I had seen many doctors prior to this consultation with no success. I am happy to recommend this department fully.
