About: Colchester General Hospital / General surgery

I only have high praise for the hospital, the doctors, nurses and the admin staff at Colchester General. My Dad was recently admitted after an appointment with an anaesthetist, as the anaesthetist wanted my Dad to have an MRI scan. Dad was admitted to the West Bergholt Ward, which was lovely, clean and bright. After having steroids prior to his MRI, Dad was in some distress the following day and we were told that this can happen due to the amount of steroids given. However, after a bit of a fraught morning and an injection, my Dad settled and was able to have his MRI. All of the staff on the West Bergholt Ward were amazing and so friendly. As a family, we want to thank each and every one for making Dad’s time in Bay E (E4) pleasant and happy! Dad returned home yesterday (April 12) and we’re so glad to have him back home, looking a lot better and in a lot less pain. Thank you to all of you!

Many thanks for leaving your feedback, I will pass this onto the West Bergholt ward and the MRI team. It is great to hear how they put your Dad at ease during his recent visit. I am sure the staff will be thrilled to read how their actions impacted on all your experiences. I hope your Dad is continuing to make a good recovery. Thank you.
