Review titled Preassessment morefield city road Discriminate patients
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 December 2024
i went to the pre-assessment department of cataract surgery. the receptionist, a young african girl, was very rude. patients are given time from 9 o'clock, but staff do not start work until nine thirty and just enjoy themselves. if any patient says that, they all become togather and misbehave with the patient and put the patient in trouble, such as trying to delay the operation by asking for unnecessary investigations to the gp and other hospitals. management of the hospital needs to check from nine am in the morning what staff are doing and train them to be kind to diversity. staff don't know any respect, and great discrimination occurs as they are protected by nhs. just check and rectify we pay tax and deserve some sort of timely service and respect not negligence and discrimination by hospital staff.

The staff are lovely but it was unbearably hot in there and not enough seating in the patients waiting area.

I found the Glaucoma clinic to be so efficient. The staff were all very professional and put me at my ease. The gentleman conducting the Fields test was extremely patient and reassuring and made the experience far more manageable than previous Fields tests.

Review titled Glaucoma clinic
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Brian - Posted on 02 January 2024
Visit here a few time a year with my 91 year old mother. The clinic waiting time is generally approx three hours. Too many patients, not enough staff. Also no provision to see a frail, ill 91 year old any quicker than a 21 year old. Staff are good, but the wait times are dismal.

Review titled Postcode lottery
Rated 1 star out of 5

A&E will only see patients who live north of the river. They identified I had an eye emergency but turned me away and told me to go to my local hospital even though Moorfields is closer. What kind of A&E turns people away because they live in a different borough? Irresponsible. I'm lucky to still have my sight but no thanks to them. Avoid

Review titled Very efficient and very kind
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs C A Taylor - Posted on 08 October 2023
Odd eye symptoms. Staff were all very kind and helpful from the Security guards, Receptionists to the triage nurses, eye nurse and the Doctor. I was very anxious but the eye nurse in particular was so professional and reassuring. Not allowed to name her so I hope she reads this review. Hospital is very clean

Review titled Very kind
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I got a diagnosis of eye cancer and I needed some operations on my eye to get rid of the cancer. The treatment sounded horrifying and so this was quite worrying for me. So, first of all I want to tell people who might be scared by the idea of the treatment that they need, that they should not worry at all if they are going to Moorfields. The staff all make it their business to help you as much as they can, they are all very kind and will do anything to look after you. You can rely on them. If you have to stay in the hospital there are nice showers and the staff can let you have a towel if you don't have one. The food is fine, it's not special in any way but I found it to be absolutely ok. If you like you can order some food in and get it left at reception, then the staff can be persuaded to bring it up! But you don't need to because the hospital food is enough and ok. At night it's noisy outside because it's London, so bring earplugs, and a sleeping mask would be a good idea as well if your eyes allow. The hospital is very clean, the equipment is very modern (as far as I know from looking at it). The staff are very interested in what they are doing and in their patients and they are very communicative as well. They were very happy to explain everything and to answer all my questions. The surgeon and the anesthetist both took great pains to treat me as a human being and to discuss what they were going to do with me. I felt that they were very busy and important people who related to me as another human and treated me very well. The treatment I got was very carefully and deftly done. Again, thank you. I agree with some other comments that I have read about the appointments and communication for clinics and so on. I think that there could be some improvement in sending out emails and letters. For example I did not receive anything in writing before my operation. On the other hand the specialist nurses proactively contacted me and spoke with me on an individual basis several times. This was the important stuff, all about the operation and treatment, and I thank them for that. However, the trivia of admin was a bit hit and miss compared to my experience with my local district hospital that sent me SMS's the day before appointments to make sure that I didn't forget. Traveling to Moorfields is a little difficult as it serves such a vast area of the country and being in central London, accommodation is rather pricey. I am lucky that I had the means to deal with this, but it might be good for there to be some thought of support for people coming from a long way away who aren't as rich as me. So - it's a specialist hospital that seems focused on a personal touch and on excellent treatment more than anything else. It's hard to find anything to criticize in that thinking. My thanks and best wishes to the staff.
