Review titled Otters all day
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Johnny Blaize - Posted on 12 October 2024
Yeah, just spent three weeks in Otter Ward recovering from a laryngectomy, but it wasn't the procedure that left me speechless, it was the people. Everyone from the nurses, the surgeons, the cleaners and caterers. Every single person I came into contact with was just amazing. That cannot be statistically right, right? Trust me, I am not a 'people person', but these people are something else. Even when I sat in bed and had no choice but to have to watch or listen when they dealt with non compliant patients, it was a level of cool, caring professionalism that cannot be normal. These folks are incredible. Am I glad to be home safe and sound? Of course. However, I really miss seeing a bunch of mates I have never even spoken too. They were there when I couldn't get in contact with my friends and family for the first week of my stay, but will live forever in my heart. Soppy? Yeah. Worth it. Thanks you so, so much for making this part of my journey as smooth as it possibly could be. Just a massive, mass

Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lynette Billings - Posted on 14 September 2024
Having recently spent 5 days on Durbin ward i have nothing but praise for the treatment i received. Every member of staff from domestic ,catering ,nursing ,consultants were first class . Nothing was too much trouble and i felt very safe and comfortable on my ward with 4 delightful companions. There is nothing i would change and all the staff deserve a mention but there so very kind and made my stay so very pleasant despite the pain i was in .If you are going to the RD&E fear not all is well and go in with confidence

Review titled Amazing Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Saul Eagles - Posted on 12 August 2024
I was admitted to the Kidney/Renal ward after being diagnosed with Acute Kidney Damage. and wanted to thank all the staff (and i mean All the staff) for the compassion, dedication, professionalism and care, from the well humoured porters, through all the staff who keep the hospital running day to day, to the medical staff who frankly are a credit to you and the organisation. We all hear a lot of doom and gloom, but my experience has been nothing but excellent and a cannot praise enough all of the staff who cared for me. Thank you so very much - Saul

Review titled Excellent Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 August 2024
I had a routine colonoscopy today and would like to thank all of the staff who made me feel so cared for. There was a very high standard of professionalism and from being admitted to the process of being discharged I was made to understand everything that was going to happen and why. I was frequently asked how I was feeling and every effort was made to make me feel comfortable. I am so pleased to have the Exeter RD&E as my local hospital and would have no hesitation in recommending the service provided.

Review titled Brilliant
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by ACM - Posted on 25 August 2024
Two weeks ago I was admitted to the RD&E for breast surgery and the care received was excellent from start to finish. The surgeon, anaesthetist, their teams, and staff on the ward did an incredible job. The day went very smoothly and they provided plenty of reassurance throughout (especially since I was somewhat nervous due to this being a first operation). A call from the anaesthetist the next day was very much appreciated, as was my follow up appointment with the surgeon. In all, everybody provided exemplary care for which I am extremely grateful. Thank you!

Review titled Wonderful Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Tim - Posted on 09 August 2024
I was admitted to Knapp Ward for day case elective urology surgery. From the moment I was checked in, the whole team were fantastically caring and kind. Nothing was too much trouble and every question I asked was answered efficiently and in detail. Both the anaesthetist and surgeon visited me pre-op and also had time to answer questions and reassure me. After the operation, the recovery ward was also staffed by amazing caring people. Back on Knapp Ward I was offered coffee and toast/biscuits which arrived in an instant! The surgeon re-visited me and explained in detail exactly what he had done during surgery. I honestly don’t have a single complaint - only praise.

Review titled Superb care throughout
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mark Terrett - Posted on 11 July 2024
Having been admitted for prostrate removal last week I have to say the care I received on Knapp Ward was outstanding from the moment I entered the hospital to leaving next day. The empathy and professionalism they showed along with the human touch was fantastic. They worked as a really cohesive team in a manner that gave me confidence and filled me with admiration. From the surgeon through to porters the whole team made me feel I mattered. They are all a credit to their profession and we are lucky to have these people working in our NHS
