"Amazing Staff - Excellent Experience"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Endoscopy

(as the patient),

I visited for a procedure with the Endoscopy Team, and I just want to express how comfortable and cared for I felt throughout the entire experience. Nurse Dot was incredibly warm and attentive; even during the procedure, she held my hand when I was feeling anxious and uneasy. That human touch truly made a difference.

Dr. Lamont and Dr. McMahon were exceptional in keeping me informed and involved every step of the way. They took great care to ensure my thoughts and preferences were considered when discussing future care options. This level of patient involvement is not only rare, but also essential for truly outstanding care.

In recovery, I was looked after by Nurse Gillian, who was both professional and compassionate. She took the time to personally check in with me while providing excellent care, making me feel at ease.

A huge thank you to all the staff who cared for me. It’s incredibly refreshing to receive such excellent nursing and medical attention.

What a wonderful experience. Thank you ❤️
