Some lovely comment card feedback received about our physiotherapy team that we like to share with you, have a read...

This is the lovely Emily from our self pay enquiry team.
The self pay team handle all sorts of enquiries from potential patients who are paying for treatment themselves (as opposed to having health insurance). When your health isn't at it's best, naturally you can be worried and anxious. Having a helpful, supportive person on the other end of the phone makes all the difference. One such patient was so grateful for Emily's help, they sent her this lovely bunch of flowers and chocolates. Well done Emily!
If you have a self pay enquiry, please reach the team on 0113 388 2111 - lines are open between 8am - 5pm Mon - Fri.

Went yesterday for lens replacement surgery. Brilliant experience all round from reception to post surgery care. In and out in 3 hrs excellent attention at all times and great surgeon Mr J Ball kept me informed along every step of the procedure. All staff great. Almost looking forward to the same again next week �

Well the best hospital I have ever been to and we’ve been to a few. Awesome staff from start to finish. �

Very clean hospital, all staff was lovely and friendly couldn't do enough for me from the minute I arrived to the minute I left. a special thank you to jealisa for all your help �

My mum had an op here yesterday. She did not know if was going to turn into a major op until she was in theatre but in the end it has turned out to be a minor procedure. All the staff are wonderful & are always popping in to check if she needs anything. She has been looked after very well. All amenities here are excellent for both patient & visitors. Special thanks to Karen for her nursing care & Miss Langdon for her excellent surgical procedure which has so far resulted in mum not having any pain after the op.

Just returned home after having surgery yesterday and I don't think I could have been looked after any better. From the minute I was met on arrival, to my consultant Mr Sue-Ling and his team, the ward nurses and doctors, the theatre team, porters and catering staff, a huge 'Thank you'! The hospital itself is spotless and has the feeling of being more like a hotel. So grateful.

Just had a small procedure at the Nuffield , professional as always , All staff were very polite & professional...reassuring & kind .... thank you . Would highly recommend this Leeds Nuffield Hospital, definitely 5 star treatment...

I was transferred in from an NHS hospital flat on my back on Friday tea time, Mr Timothy the back specialist came to see me Friday evening, arranged a detailed scan Sat morning, and over the weekend all the staff were superb, more like a 5 star hotel than a hospital! Treatment arranged for Tuesday, by people who stayed late after a full days work, and I could leave on Wednesday. Absolutely superb in every way, but the staff and culture are amazing. If I need medical treatment I won’t go anywhere else! Thanks very much.

I was recently here for a microdiscectomy under the care of Dr Sivukumar and have to say that the care I recieved was excellent, from the anesthetist and nurses to the domestic services ladies all were 2nd to none. Room and facilities were fantastic could not have asked for anything more thank you all.

I was recently admitted to Nuffield Hospital,Leeds where I underwent a total knee replacement. The care I received was second to none. The nurses are so pleasant and hard working and nothing was too much trouble for them.

I would like to thank all the medical, surgical ,nursing and ancillary staff for all their hard work and attention.

I had surgery on Monday morning at The Nuffield. I am a nurse in the NHS with 30 years experience and I have very high standards� I would just like to say thank you to everyone who looked after me especially Rochelle who managed to put up with my quirkiness and weird demands brilliantly. She was amazing �

I had my septoplasty and sub mucosal diarthermy on the 21st July this year, performed by Mr Sood, and I can only thank them for all there skill and care. I was made to feel at ease, I would like to thank Mr Sood, Mr Linley, the nurses who cared for me before and after surgery and the lovely hostess. I would highly recommend Nuffields .

I had keyhole surgery yesterday on my right knee. From my first appointment with Dr Stone I felt confident and safe in his care. The staff were fantastic and made sure I was looked after. The physiotherapist was also fantastic. I am up and walking around within a couple hours of my operation. Thank you for the awesome care I was given.

I had an operation on my shoulder on Saturday 7-10-17, under the care of Mr Hackney. I cannot thank the staff on the ICU ward enough for ,their excellent care. Also the staff on the ward too. The care I received was second to none. I am now having Physio therapy and am feeling so much better.

I had an op on my right knee yesterday. From my initial consultation to having the operation done I could not have asked for better. All the staff were amazing, so friendly and professional. I was under the care of Dr Neil Hunt who was fantastic, he explained the procedure and I knew exactly what was happening every step of the way. I would like to say a massive thankyou to every one involved, I'm up and about and feeling a lot better than expected!

I had a microdiscectomy this week under mr towns ... he was fantastic from my 1st consultation through to surgery answered any questions I had , couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon!! Also the nurses who looked after me Catherine on days and josie on nights were fantastic and really looked after me when I was in a lot of pain very caring! Mr Fairfield ( anaethetist) was fantastic , Karen (recovery nurse) was fantastic and really put me at ease from before going to theatre and in recovery, can’t thank them all enough you were all amazing especially mr towns thank you!! Would highly recommend here for anyone to have treatment !

I had a consultation yesterday with Dr Stone who was brilliant with me....unfortunately he can't do my knee replacement until im at least 55 years old...but he said he will be happy to see me in 3 years and do it then....I will settle for that unless my condition deteriorates rapidly then I will ask him to reconsider ...lovely clean place and the staff are very welcoming .. the toilets are pristine as well xx

I can't fault the entire experience I had in the Nuffield Leeds.

I was very well looked after.

Before and especially after surgery.

And all went perfect.

I was kept comfortable and the whole place was spot less clean.

Food was delicious. Tea was perfect.

All in all a 5� experience.

Well done to you all.

Had foot surgery under the care of Mr. Tulwa, yesterday. I was an nhs patient & on Ingleborough ward as a day case. Everyone was friendly & professional. There was a particularly kind & helpful health care assistant on the ward. I'm afraid I can't recall her name, but she was lovely. I thank everyone, despite being in a lot of pain today �. I wish everyone, whether in nhs hospitals, or private care, got the same top class treatment. Many Thanks.

Amazing hospital, spotless, staff kept me comfortable throughout my stay. Was made to feel at complete ease despite undergoing major surgery. The nurses couldn’t do enough for me & dr had me straight back in following a couple of complications at home. Huge thank you to my consultant, the doctors, nurses, anaesthetist, physio, cleaners, cooks and even the lovely Reception lady on the Ingleborough ward! X
