Woodland Hospital

"I have just had my second hip replacement under Dr Shukla, Dr Swami and their team of nurses, physios and pharmacists. I am an NHS patient and could not have been treated any better. I seem to have had a completely different experience from a fraction of the reviews here. Two surgeries and a strong rehab and care plan have shown to me that the medical team here care greatly. The nursing staff on the ward have been have been incredibly kind and diligent. The post-op care, the rooms and the food especially has been top class. As I write this from my hospital bed I have had over 12 visits so far today from nurses, the main surgeon, physios, and nursing staff and its still only 3pm. Quite frankly I feel cared for at a very vulnerable time, and all as an NGS patient. I have nothing but thanks for helping me face the next stage of my life into a pain-free existence - until of course something else drops off! Finally I have met over 12 different nursing staff and porters who have looked after me around the clock. They all work so very hard, long hours but still have time and energy to make you feel special. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Woodlands hospital. Thank you and apologies for the somewhat ‘gushy’ review but its all true. If anyone ever needs any more details or reassurance about my experience here, feel free to reach out me."

"I amhome after a knee replacement and from start to finish, the have been exceptional. They were very thorough with the checks prior to the operation and the reception, nurses and doctor where superb. Dr Srinivasan explained and performed the procedure and operation respectfully and with skill and my hospital stay was much better than I anticipated. I must mention also the physio, the two girls who came to get me moving, where very understanding but persistent and after giving me stronger pain killers, I was able to get my knee moving, to which I have been doing daily. Well done to you all, and thank you for making my knee replacement go so well. Laura Godfrey"

"The poor experience begins at the reception. The old lady speaks to everyone like she is doing them a favour and clearly has something better to do. Then the most important question, are you insurance or NHS. I said NHS, never seen an expression change so quickly. Then the doctors who are walking around this place with so much attitude looking down on everyone waiting to be seen. I have never been surrounded by so much arrogance. Not going to be returning, will not recommend."

"Amazing. I had double hernia surgery here on 1october and i must say thank you to everyone. Spent one night in hospital after and the level of care was just amazing. While waiting for surgery somebodys alarm sound and i think around 15 nurses and doctors came to take care of an old person in less than 1 min. My doctor was Mr Hamish, and im so happy that he didnt cut me to much. The nurses were amazing too. I CANT say anything wrong about this hospital, maybe they need bigger car park. Now , when im writing this review i am 8 weeks after surgery , had no issues at all, im back to my health as before. Also i had checks after and a 24 hours phone line number which ive called few times for help after. There are few bad reviews in here but i disagree with all of them, also i came through NHS and normaly they would treat better private patients i think. The schedule time was quite fast around 2 months waiting, scan and all checks. I wish you guys all the best and for anyone who wants to chose this hospital please go ahead. And not the last hope you guys get better payments cz ive hears nurses talking about being unhappy with their payments"

"Mr Shukla and his anaesthetist and all their staff were brilliant. They made everything clear and once on the Ward all staff were extremely nice and couldn’t do enough to help even though very busy ! I only marked it down one star because I had lots of challenges over appointment dates with the front desk ! But everyone puts you at ease and keeps you updated etc I was in for an opp on my shoulder, not my first op there and never have any worries once in"
