About: Ridgeway Hospital

I cannot praise the staff enough, I was involved in a serious car crash over 2 years ago, I struggled with a continuous pain in my right shoulder, eventually my Doctor who is also amazing applied for me to have my shoulder operated on at a private hospital, I chose the Ridgeway because I live approximately 5 miles away, the operation was booked really quickly, on the operating table the surgeon discovered there was more serious injuries to my shoulder than the 3 MRI’s had detected, this was all rectified there & then resulting in a 3hr operation, during recovery I managed to break some of the stitches & when I called the Ridgeway they invited me straight in, I was seen within 5 minutes of arriving, 2 weeks later my shoulder had an infection & again I called the Ridgeway & was seen again in no time at all, I have been so impressed with the level of service at a private hospital I have just signed up to private medical insurance for my whole family, not that I feel the NHS is not good enough for me because it is, however having been told it’s approx a 2yr wait for an operation compared to 8 weeks, & being seen straight away compared to a 4hr wait it’s a no brainer, I have never been treated so well in my whole life, prior to being treated by a private hospital I have always criticised people who go private, however for me & my family it’s no going back.
