  1. Review titled Audiology appointment

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Avis Carr - Posted on 13 May 2024

    I have had a couple of occasions to ring the audiology department to request appointments for hearing tests at East Cleveland hospital. The young lady who spoke to me was extremely helpful in securing convenient times etc for me. Exemplary service from her.

  2. Review titled Answerphone ignored

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 09 May 2024

    Excellent experience with my father's Cochlear Implant. However, trying to get his processor sorted is proving a nightmare. They ignore answerphone messages regularly, I have been trying to get a response for 5mths despite leaving 6 messages! Totally unprofessional and not what I expected from this hospital.

  3. Review titled Poor

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 20 April 2024

    Ward 1 - Staff took umbrage towards a family member calling in once a day to ask for an update on an elderly relative. For varying reasons, (distance, disability, illness) not all relatives can visit and again, for varying reasons not all extended families communicate with each other / share information. It can take hours to actually get through to Ward 1 only to be greeted in an extremely rude manner by Staff.

  4. Review titled Very Good

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 20 April 2024

    Podiatry Outreach ~ Although it takes a long while to get to the top of the list for podiatry housebound home visits, whilst waiting the admin staff are so friendly, polite and informative when carers call to check up if an elderly person is nearly at the top of the home visit list.

  5. Review titled Third world worthy, avoid at all costs.

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 24 April 2024

    cancel important life changing appointments and reschedule said appointments months and months later, been waiting for my appointment nearly 3 years, they don’t answer correspondences, lie on the phone saying they will contact me and don’t, I’m just going to save up to go private, the nhs isn’t a charity we pay for this with our taxes and the service is third world worthy.

  7. Review titled Disabled Parking

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 21 March 2024

    While driving around the Carpark’s on site for over 45 minutes in an attempt to look for a disabled space with my mum, who is in a wheelchair, I was absolutely appalled and frustrated to find at least 10 staff vehicles all with South Tees badges displayed in their windscreens parked in disabled spaces without displaying a blue badge!!! Come on James Cook, surely you are more than aware that this is happening on a daily basis, you must have the staff’s registration numbers logged to enable the parking enforcement officers to contact the departments to move their cars! Personally I would name and shame them! These staff members are clearly breaching NHS shared trust values within the NHS constitution, and they must be held accountable

  8. Review titled Great care from every member of staff

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 20 March 2024

    I had a routine checkup in the oncology department today and am so grateful for excellent care and service from every single person I meet at James Cook. I unfailingly feel listened to and cared for; no worry is too small and nothing seems to be a problem for anyone. I am very confident in the care that I receive and appreciate all the work that goes into this.

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 19 April 2024

    A & E are excellent in communicating with me, a worried relative of an elderly patient. They must be run off their feet in A & E but were so kind, caring and informative when I called for updates - well done A & E and Thank you.

  10. Review titled Great treatment and aftercare

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Alan - Posted on 29 March 2024

    Thank you for the excellent care given during my recent vascular surgery. I couldn’t speak more highly of the team and the aftercare on Ward 28. Everyone involved in my surgery and afterwards on Ward 28 conveyed a genuine interest and regard for my well being
