"Urology"

About: Rivers Hospital

Had a cystoscopy and urethral dilation. Treated like a piece of meat. Unbelievably painful (& I’ve given birth)! The Consultant was uncommunicative, disrespectful and unsympathetic.

I have had other procedures at the Rivers and have never been dissatisfied. Maybe it was because the other times I was a private patient and this appointment was NHS. I hope not!

I wrote to the hospital and they have since apologised.

We are sorry to hear of your time at Rivers Hospital on this occasion. This is not the level of care we would expect to hear has been received. We understand you have been in contact with the Hospital directly about this issue, we hope this has re-assured you that this is not the experience we would expect a patient to have. Please do get back in touch to discuss this further if you feel necessary.
