"Wonderful hospital and staff"

About: The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust

I was referred by my local doctor for a Focussed Ultrasound Thalamotomy to correct my severe hand tremor. As I live 100 miles away I didn't think that I had much chance of getting seen but I got an appointment within 3 months and from my first assessment until my operation took only 3 months! I cannot praise highly enough the Walton Centre facility and the amazing Consultant, Doctors, Nurses, Radiologists, Physio, Occupational therapists, ancilliary staff, secretaries and receptionists, who made sure that I got the very best treatment. Nothing was too much trouble, if I rang up with queries or worries they were answered in a sympathetic manner. The operation was very successful and has changed my life by giving me back control in one hand. This means that I can now eat, drink and write unaided and have had my confidence restored to enable me to go out socially again. Communication by letter and phone calls is excellent and aftercare very thorough. All the staff I came across were friendly, caring, professional, supportive and accommodating. I feel so privileged to have been given this operation and I will be eternally grateful to everyone at the Walton Centre Neurology Department for all they have done for me.
