I recently had a colonoscopy procedure at this hospital. To say I was anxious is a little of an understatement.
From arrival to discharge the staff were friendly, caring and attentive.
The only downsides were that I felt everything was a little rushed, when signing my consent form, the possible risks were not explained to me, I was just given the final sheet to sign alongside the comment "do you understand what procedure you are here for and I need your signature here". In addition, in recovery the doctor did not initially come and see me until asked by the nurse, and seemed in a hurry to get back to the next patient who was having the procedure.
But overall it was a positive experience, delivered by caring and dedicated staff, who put me greatly at ease. I would recommend this hospital to friends and family.
One last minor comment, my relative who was waiting in the waiting room mentioned that the floor around the tea/coffee making facilities had a small ant infestation!
