  1. Review titled Led me to panic attack

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 08 May 2023

    After growth scan, had to spend 4 hours overall in waiting room to be seen. As result, only thing I received is printed leaflet and was told that will receive a call within 1 week to have a follow up appointment! To wait 4 hours in a smelly waiting room to get printed paper (which I could find myself on NHS website) and information about follow up appointment (which I could get by phone) ??? In addition, on my arrival, I was told by security that I am not able to get the ticket to pay parking because barrier is broken and I don’t need to pay. When I came back to my car I found parking notice charge!!! So, when I called security again, they were completely indifferent and unprofessional! I am 37 weeks pregnant. Instead of receiving qualified support, the Maternity unit service made me feel just anxious and led me to the panic attack.

  2. Review titled Excellent service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Andy - Posted on 14 May 2023

    I was referred to the Luton and Dunstable due to a suspected mini stroke. The day after my referral I received a call from a nurse to book a telephone appointment in the following day with a consultant. The consultant called and after 5 mins of questions they asked me to go direct to the x ray department for an mri and an Ultrasound scan. There was a slight delay to the Mri scan due to an issue on the computer, however I was in and out sighing 3 hours. The following day the consultant called me to give the results. Overall a very efficient and quick service. Cannot fault the nhs or the hospital for how they treated my case with urgency.

  4. Review titled Outstanding care

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Susan Tomes-Rolt - Posted on 02 June 2023

    The standard of care given to my mother was outstanding during her stay. She was treated with compassion and dignity at all times. The staff were professional, caring and friendly. Explanations were clear and informative. A particular mention to the student nurses who made a real impact on us, and we wish them all the best for their future. In addition to the care we received we witnessed great care and compassion for confused patients. Thank you.

  6. Review titled Poor management

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 18 March 2023

    From admission to self-discharge, the care from the doctors was appalling. Just because it wasn’t a straightforward textbook case, they were not interested in a diagnosis. A private hospital provided a diagnosis and operation all within 12 hours of me presenting and had to refer me back to an NHS hospital due to complex, high dependency needs, but wouldn’t let them transfer me back to Luton. Nurses went over and beyond to help me and couldn’t fault them in any way. Excellent nursing staff, especially the training nurses.

  9. Review titled Surgery

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    I had an operation under gynaecology on Monday 27th. The care from the consultant, registrar, anaesthetist and nurses was nothing short of incredible. As a nurse myself I am aware of the pressures and challenges and could not praise the staff enough. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me over the last 6 weeks. You are all amazing and make me so proud to be part of the nhs!

  10. Review titled Review on the MRI team

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Heidi - Posted on 14 March 2023

    First time attending l&d (as not my local hospital) Parking in the new car park was simple and prices are reasonable (half the price of Lister !!) Could not initially find the imaging dept (buildings are spread over the site) but a kind young construction worker ask if he could help and lead me in the right direction. The ladies in the MRI team where helpful, kind and professional and on time. Only negative was trying to find a toilet.
