Royal Orthopaedic Hospital

Always been lovely, mostly on time and supportive. Always ringing about appointments and do follow up to make sure on course.

Hell of a place to get to. Wife was bought in from Warwick hospital. Problem with replacement hip that Warwick didn’t have the specialty to deal with. They had a scanning equipment, just not the knowledge to interpret the scans. Fed up of staying for 7 days.

Really good experience, apart from last appointment where I turned up and found out my appointment had been cancelled. No phone calls and the letter was in the post and send during strikes. But I have been here as an inpatient twice, had a tumor removed in 2009 and 2018. Everything was fine, food was fine and endless cups of tea. Was in 9 days last time.

Fantastic from GP and its taken 7 days. Wonderful referral time. Easy to get to. Parking great. Both receptionist were super with nice accent. Communication screen about how long the waits are, so you are not wondering where information boards are and who is who staff wise. Volunteers very pleasant.

Very professional, courteous and polite staff. Keep contact by phone. appointment information is given via phone in the first instant than a follow up email. I am not a Birmingham resident but all the information is passed to my GP.

5 star

Nurses are nice and doctors explain things and send things very quickly by post. Inpatient experience was very well looked after, well care for and good food. Went to bed early, can’t sleep until the midnight because people walking by.

Excellent experience as a day patient. Everything went according to plan and they told me everything that was going to happen.

Kind of been okay. Consultant wanted to see us in 2 months time and ended up taking 4 months. Had a CT scan. Ended up using a private healthcare service for the CT scan.

I had the spinal decompression surgery. While in hospital I had the most horrific experience.. Where the staff had falled to respond for several hours and I was forced to overspill the urine pots
Came to the hospital for my SI disfunctional referral but the consultant was not sure why I had come
In a moment of utter confusion he agreed to review a surgery which he not done and convinced me not to have the SI surgery
Much later I was sent another letter to review the spinal surgery yet again but this time by the surgeon who had done the spinal decompression surgery
The review was very brief
I have severe nerve pains which not there before
The shin pain is unbearable
Yet the consultant failed to explain why is had started
Strongly believe the spinal decompression surgery has made it worse
Worst experience of my entire life because I have spinal decompression surgery before at the QE hospital which was excellent and effective
It’s over an year and I feel very bad with 1% out of 10
