I had a job finding my way around the hospital, but a lady came up to me and asked me was I OK. She took the lift to where I needed to go. Very pleasant person, I only got her first name Louise. She said she wasn't a nurse. She was a great help.

Dr Ahmad was outstanding, from the moment I was admitted under his care he was very thorough, he explained everything to me in very simple and plain language. His follow up after my surgery was also excellent, I developed an infection and he had a prescription faxed to my pharmacist straight away.

I had a procedure done by Dr Sean Nugent. I found him excellent. From the initial consultation, he quickly brought me back and did the procedure and referred me on to a specialist surgeon - all within a very short time. Dr Nugent is such a gentleman and a wonderful doctor who takes time to explain everything in great detail during consultation. I never felt rushed and left feeling I was in the best hands. He is very calm and reassuring and has a wonderful empathy, I would highly recommend Dr Nugent and his team.

The nurses on the general ward were brilliant, couldn't have been more helpful, particularly the nurse on the night shift who came in every hour to check on me and take my blood pressure,

Dr Ahmed treated me. He was always very polite and knowledgeable. After I left the hospital I got an infection (through no fault of the hospital). When I called the hospital, Dr Ahmed took my call immediatly and admitted me again without delay or query. When I finally left the hospital, Dr Ahmed called me 2 days later to make sure that I was still feeling well. There was no requirement for him to do this and it is little details like this which made my hospital visit and recovery easier.
