"Had an hernia operation 17/2/23 at elland,went back for staples out 27/2/23 as a nhs patient unfortunately i had a bleed when i got off the table , just want to say a big thank you to the nurses who got the situation under control,ended up being bluelighed to huddersfield for inspection and stiched back up ,so thanks to all the staff at elland .x Many thanks to the cleaner julie lol."

"I couldn't find star less than 1. continuously postponed my operation for 3 times. Last one cancelled just 1 day before :( There is absolutely no wiggle room for scheduling appointments, no explanation offered for cancellations, and no information provided regarding the time a new appointment would be set. If you have no idea when you can restart taking your prescription, this is especially annoying when you have to stop taking it before a procedure. I would say please don't go for this hospital. I"

"Don't bother use the NHS. I had a blood transfusion due to losing a lot of blood, I need an operation which would have taken 6mths on the NHS so decided to use my private healthcare and saw a consultant in July. Date for opperation set for Sept, 2 weeks before cancelled and told it will be Oct when I have a holiday booked so not possible as it has a 2-3 week recovery time. I was told someone would call to book me in for Nov, today I get a call and guess what it's Dec just before Xmas so 6 months from the date of the consultant visit. I may as well have gone with the NHS as private is just a scam but my employer pays for this rubbish and this hospital is useless. They use NHS surgeons and they are always doing NHS procedures so why pay they will not give you any special treatment or do anything faster then the NHS anyway. Spire is the worst of the companies as the reviews show, they don't seem to know when the surgeons are available or they do so many NHS operations they have no theatre space as they get more money from the NHS than the medical insurance companies so bump you out."

"Before attending Spire, I did the homework, read the google reviews and was a little dismayed by the mid-table rating (3.2). However, my actual experience of Spire was quite different and clearly at odds with these comments. Hospital communication both pre-op and post-op were clear and timely. The hospital itself was welcoming, spotlessly clinical, and presented a calming atmosphere that was unhurried yet efficient. Staff were friendly, well informed, and totally professional. All of which went a very long way to easing a stressful situation. Whilst my experience may be different to that of others, I would suggest that several reviews are bordering on the disingenuous. Personally, I would recommend Spire Elland"

"Continually cancelled my procedure over the course of ten months (and counting - the latest, scheduled to take place in a few days, was cancelled again today). The first time it happened just as I was about to go into theatre. Absolutely no flexibility regarding appointments, no reasons given for cancellations and no information regarding when appointments will be rescheduled. This is particularly irritating when you have to come off medication prior to a procedure as you have no idea when you can resume it. There's a complete lack of consideration and accountability. Don't believe all the 'We care' posters dotted around the walls. They don't. Unless you're paying privately, of course. The nursing staff are great - it can't be easy having to work under such inept management and unprofessional, arrogant and uncaring consultants. Avoid it if you can."
