   I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Smith, such a great doctor, and his entire team, including everyone who assisted during my surgery, such as the anesthetists, “thank you for the chat before I went to sleep”, and all the supporting staff, for their exceptional professionalism, care, and kindness. Additionally, I want to say thank you to Dr. Bianca and Dr. Mohamed for helping me throughout my journey. The clarity and honesty they demonstrated during the entire process were truly invaluable. I will never be able to thank them enough for the positive experience I had, despite the surgery. Thank you so much to the entire team!

   Long queues in outpatients depts and for specialist imaging requests but staff are excellent. Full of knowledge and very friendly. The wards are also very pleasant. Clean and bright.

   Very old and in need of refurbishment. 85% of staff are nice and you can feel confident in them. All the Doctor's we have met have been very kind and competent. All of the nurses are lovely, but I will be honest and say that there are a few who've I've not felt overly confident in. The menu tends to be quite spicy, and everything bar toast and cereals is heavily microwaved. It's not great on the whole, but it's food, and it's free. If you're going to be in for more than a week, it can be challenging! If you need/want to buy food, I'd suggest popping 5 mins up the road and go to one of the bakeries or Waitrose, which does a competitive £5 meal deal. Food in the hospital is very expensive and not that tasty. It's served in a little cafe with a few seats in the hall outside. They serve a few Costa drinks, but these are akin to the Costa drink machines you find in garages, local shops... Food outside is very pricy, most burgers are priced between £9-£14 and chips costing on average about £5. I ordered food in for a patient, but just for basic burgers and chips, you're looking at £15-£16 per person plus delivery fee. If you need to waste some time, Oxford Street and Regents Street are only 15 minutes walk away.

   A lady at the very first reception who wears the hijab when I showed her my appointment form, she told me to go further down and sit in the corner. Not informing me that I had to register at another reception to let my doctor know that I’m here so they could call me. So now I have sat here for approximately almost 2 hours when my appointment was supposed to be at 10am. Completely unacceptable and could have been avoided if the lady had been more clear on what and where I need to go. Would give zero stars if I could as I’m absolutely livid. Not the first time I’ve had an appalling customer service here either. It’s been multiple times now

   My Dad’s prostate cancer was being treated at Ipswich Hospital with radiotherapy and not only were the machines always breaking and the treatment didn’t work but as hard as people worked it wasn’t a great atmosphere! I appreciate it’s a hospital and not a pub but still. Westmoreland Street by comparison is exceptional! They are the leaders in their field from what I can tell and everyone from the cleaning lady who helped my Dad with his mask, the receptionists who never try and rob you off like other medical receptionist to the nurses and doctors who gave the highest standard of care you could ever hope for! I appreciate not everyone gets to choose where they are treated on the NHS but where ever you’re from in this country if you get the choice of this group of hospitals especially this one I cannot recommend it highly enough! Not only did they save my Dad’s life but every step of the way whoever we dealt with they went above and beyond to help him and we’ll all be forever grateful and owe you all so much! Also there’s a pub immediately opposite!! Only thing that’s a challenge is they have no parking anywhere so be prepared!

   Been in here for 5 nights following surgery and can't fault staff from domestics to the surgical team on urology. Only a couple of little niggles which are that there is no TV in the patient bays on the wards and the food is a little bland and repetitive with one menu to choose from. Other than these and just the fact that boredom sets in its a pretty decent hospital.

   After 1 year and 7 general anaesthetics later, the level of care I've received at Westmoreland Street has NEVER faltered. It is second to none! ALL the staff are caring, friendly and supportive. Everyone goes above and beyond to make sure their patients are looked after. The communal areas are super clean and you are asked to wear a face mask upon entry to the building. The canteen is well stocked and has small outdoor area for fresh air. Overnight accommodation may be made available for those who need to travel a long distance for morning procedures. These rooms are basic, but they do the job :)

   Everyone I met here today was super nice and kind! I was referred to this urology clinic from A&E, so I had a fear of receiving the procedure. But as I entered the building, the man at door kindly greeted me with a new mask and guided me where to go. The toilet was so clean (the most clean toilet I have ever seen at UK hospitals) since the cleaning lady was very hard working. Upon clincal encounter, the nurses were very kind and professional (especially Comfort and Matt) as well as the urology consultant, who made a precise decision and explained the issue very clearly. I had a good result, so the nurses shared my happiness and cheered for me. Thank you for the empathy and kindness everyone shared with me today❤️ Highly recommend this hospital!
