I had the privilege of being treated by the amazing Dr Kumari and underwent successful surgery under her care. All the hospital staff were exceptionally kind, attentive and supportive throughout my stay. I cannot thank them all enough for their professionalism, compassion and outstanding care.

Experiences Mixed

The receptionist at the radiology desk made me feel incredibly uncomfortable as an NHS patient. She made it very clear that private patients were given priority and that, because I was not paying privately, I would have to wait. Her manner was rude and, in my view, entirely inappropriate.

She was also far from discreet when discussing this, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. I felt that I was treated very poorly and was left feeling embarrassed and undervalued as an NHS patient. The overall experience was extremely distressing and disappointing.

To the contrary, the radiologists were outstanding, as was the consultant. I was extremely impressed by their professionalism, expertise and compassionate approach throughout. I would also like to commend the receptionist in the outpatient clinic, who was exceptionally helpful, courteous and supportive. Her manner made a very positive difference to my experience and was a stark contrast to the treatment I received at the radiology reception desk.

John and Jenna at the Alexandra Hospital, Lancaster Ward.

I had a surgical procedure yesterday and spend the day in Lancaster Ward at the Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle. I was looked after superbly by everyone there, especially by John my admissions nurse, and Jenna too. They made my stay very comfortable, explaining what was happening at each stage and contributed to my speedy discharge. Thank you again, John and Jenna.

Yet another useless payments system

Tried to pay a bill online. Having tried and failed due to something called “demographics , I rang to pay. No answer just infuriating Muzak. Gave up. Maybe someone will ring me. You never know.
