"My treatment was exemplary"

As part of the bowel cancer program offered to 70-year-olds, I had a colonoscopy at Lincoln County Hospital in 2021.

I had some large polyps removed and as a result, was invited back for another colonoscopy after 3 years.

Those 3 years were up last month and I duly received the invitation.

This time I had a choice of hospitals so I chose Louth because it is more convenient for me.

Five stars to Louth Hospital as my treatment was exemplary, from parking my car (£2 for all day) to leaving.

I was met with smiles and a welcome I would normally expect only from relatives.

The procedure went smoothly and I felt comfortable throughout.

The staff were reassuring, chatty and very friendly.

Afterwards, I was treated to tea and biscuits whilst I was considered to be fit enough to drive myself home.

Well done to all the staff at Louth Colonoscopy Unit for your professionalism and friendliness.
