Royal Orthopaedic Hospital

Came for a consultation with the surgeon today. Had a spine operation back in February due to my mobility and ended up getting an infection, though the risk of infection was explained to me prior to the operation. I was given medication for the infection. Overall, I've had a good experience, I'd give it 10/10.

It's the second time I'm here for my foot. They have done surgery on my foot. I was waiting for a letter since last year and then I called them to receive a letter and an appointment and they made an appointment for 2 days later.

My husband has had a knee and hip replacement and is currently finding the hydrotherapy staff very understanding and helpful, and it’s making a difference. We have been particularly impressed with the amount of time and effort that the consultant has been prepared to give to my husband following his knee replacement although the problems relate to a fall affecting his hip. He has gone far beyond attention he needed to give. He is a star.

ROH is very good with interpreter and always provide one.

Brilliant hospital. Staff are lovely, if they were all like that, it's be a good NHS. Been there so many times as a patient. They just take good care of you.

Shockwave therapy in 2018, was under review for 6 months, and they book appointment and cancelled and rebook. They have not given me appointment and said it will take a while before they look again. Not been sorted and though they call every 6 months, issue still not sorted. They called me after Covid.

Both knees
Have been replaced

Brilliant hospital cannot fault them at all. Here for a follow up appointment after an operation, was day surgery so didn’t have to stay in. but they kept me informed and let me know what was going on. Came in at 7 am and had the operation at 1pm. They are on the service really well.

Slow process, aimed at 2am and taken down for 2pm. Only allowed water every 1 hour. Information and updates given were all really good. Before operation came for an appointment and seen an hour early, so that’s good.

Given this is a very long corridor and for people with hip or knee issues, seats at different interval along the corridor will help a lot.
