  1. Review titled Such a nice surprise!

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Laura Offord - Posted on 31 October 2024

    Triaged in a&e immediately. Sent to minor unit now in mobile trailers outside and was seen within 15 minutes by the loveliest male doctor (not sure I'm allowed to say his name?) But honestly, he listened, explained, understood and helped! Thank you! Exactly how things should be done. I knew it wasn't an "emergency" as such, but needed to be seen that day, and for once, it was quick and efficient. Thank you! Wish I could give a direct review to the male doctor himself, as my husband and I left both commenting what a lovely man he was and how we wished he could be our full time doctor!

  2. Review titled What a great experience

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Andrew Clarke - Posted on 27 September 2024

    I attended an ent appointment today 27 Sep 4.15 at West Suffolk Hospital, Bury St Edmunds and was really impressed with the young lady who had a little lamb as I cannot say her name that carried out my audiology test in such a professional and and caring way whilst also managing to say things with a smile and a sense of humour beyond her years. A credit to the profession and to the hospital. Keep up the good work young lady you will go far.

  3. Review titled Professional and Caring

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 01 September 2024

    On arrival at A and E, WSH I was in excruciating back pain and seen quickly by Nurses, who assured me I would receive pain killing medication asap. I received this and care and attention was 1st class. The dept. is exceptionally kind and attentive, a Doctor attended me and despite unresolved diagnosis, A and E could not have been more efficient and did ensure painkillers were given at frequent times. It is so clean, staff are wonderful and Nurses attending me were superb in my treatment. Thank you.

  4. Review titled Exceptional care received

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Michelle - Posted on 07 August 2024

    I recently had a procedure in the cardiac centre and the care I received both at my pre admission assessment and on the day was exceptional. Staff were kind, caring and offered reassurance throughout. I am only starting on my cardiac journey but the care I received has meant I am confident that the care I will receive in the future will also continue to be as good. Thank you all, you were amazing!

  5. Review titled Put immediately at ease.

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 28 August 2024

    A warm welcome, friendly staff at all levels, and professional care. I felt comfortable with what is obviously an intimate examination because of the doctors, radiologists, and nursing staff. Everybody was just wonderful.

  6. Review titled Excellent care

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Sue - Posted on 18 July 2024

    Went to F14 ward for a procedure and from start to when I was discharged I was looked after extremely well, everything was explained and I was put at ease. All the staff were very friendly and they were always checking to see if I was alright although they were very busy. They were always smiling it made my short stay very good. The food I had was lovely and it was hot when I received it so that was very good.

  8. Review titled Excellent service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Louise - Posted on 20 July 2024

    Taken to A+E with suspected post knee replacement infection. The nurse and doctor who treated me were amazing. It was quick, professional, friendly and very thorough I can’t thank them enough. After hearing all the horror stories on the news about A+E and the NHS in general I was reluctant to go in, but my experience was the absolute opposite. I’m so grateful to them and in awe of how they managed my case so efficiently. I was back home within 3 hours of arrival at the unit. Once again thank you so much to them all I’m so so grateful.

  9. Review titled Warm, professional care

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 23 July 2024

    The ENT department deserve a 5* rating. The professionalism especially of the Consultant was exceptional and through taking the time to listen and pursue my partner's concerns re other symptoms he was able to diagnose a chronic unrelated condition. The consultant and his ENT colleagues were warm, approachable and above all professional. All tests, scans and biopsies were carried out in a compassionate timely manner. The ENT secretary was brilliant and deserves a mention, one of the unsung heroes of the hospital!.

  10. Review titled Exemplary care

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Jan - Posted on 05 June 2024

    Following a fall today I visited A and E with a bleeding forehead cut and various bruises and cuts to my left hand side. I arrived at 2.40ish and despite the area being packed I was discharged by 5.45ish. Treatment included cleaning, stitches and injections all done with care and humour. Well done, everyone from a grateful OAP.
