Orthopedic surgery in Cardiff

“A very emotional day losing lovely rocky but such a caring vet and staff so kind thank you for all your kind words and for helping dear rocky .”

“I can't thank the staff here enough. We called in desperate need of an urgent appointment for our 8 month old french bulldog Martha-May. The reception staff were extremely helpful and very kindly booked us in straight away. From start to finish, the veterinary team was extremely attentive to Martha-May and could not do enough for her and us. All staff provided a professional and friendly service. We can not recommend the PDSA enough, and I would kindly ask for people to donate any old blankets or towels you may have as they are always in need of these items. Once again, thank you to all the staff of the PDSA cardiff.”

“I saw Mr. Stew today at the Nuffield clinic about an ENT problem, the clinic was clean, bright and the staff were very friendly. Mr. Stew, talked to me through my diagnosis and presented himself as professional, caring, clinically knowledgeable and pragmatic in his treatment. He discussed next steps with me and what my options were going forward. I suffer with anxiety however he knew exactly how to handle it. A truly exemplary clinician. I would 100% recommend accessing this service.”

“How do I thank these human angels, like they all are. Anything I say just does not reflect upon that gratitude I feel in my heart for them all. I sat here contemplating how I feel but, please, just imagine if you did not do what you do as well as you do it, if there were no banter. How miserable I would be by the time you would carefully put me to bed. How much longer would it take for me to heal. How much depression would I have to endure. I love you all very much, you shut my windows and blinds in the middle of the night when I am cold, you sit me on the toilet when I need to go, you wash and dress me, feed me and medicate me, you make sure I have urine bottles to last all night, and you bring me my food to my bedside. You make sure I have a sterile, clean environment to live in. Yes, you are paid to do that but nowhere near what you deserve. Yet you are such lovely people who smiles whenever you open the doors of the hospital. How on earth do you always seem so happy, imagine how the ambience in the ward would be affected if you were not. You may or may not be religious, it does not matter either way because it is pretty clear to see that you are like mythical angels who seem to want to care for people you do not even know or have any connection to. Strangers. Who pass in the night but temporarily need your help and expertise. All individuals with the same goal. To have a listening ear and to care. Like the gentle giant, Lewis, who was always willing to help me. Lisa, lovely Lisa, the OT, with a face full of adventure that was always smiling and, therefore, motivating me just by looking at her. When I hesitantly moved from a bay to a single cubicle, she assured me that I would like it better. She was, of course, right. Kerry, such an interesting and likeable man that regularly brought me the peddle machine to work out on and wake me in the mornings to teach me how to wash, Louise, who got me a haircut, gave me a manicure and took me to the ward Christmas Carol Service. All three were major factors in my recovery. The physiotherapists, the people that literally taught me how to get out of bed, stand, walk and flex my arm and hand to pick up a tennis ball. Meg, Jordan, the lovely tattooed Elephant girl (such a very professional and lovely girl who loved her granddad) Charlotte , oh how wonderful she was. She set everything up for me to come home, but most importantly, she listened to me and talked words full of wisdom to me, told it as it was, so to speak. Such an asset to the ward. The student whose name, sadly, I forget. She was always smiling and talking to me, willing to learn, so helpful, showed me how to shower and will make an excellent professional. And the tall, dark haired young man, whose name I forget again. He came to see me on the morning I left to wish me well. A really nice young man. All miracle makers who help to build and heal damaged Neuroplasticity paths and encouraged new pathways. A miracle is an event that happens without explanation, reason or cause. It is well known that it happens but it is unexplained as to why or how it happens. It just happens, a miracle. Physiotherapists help the brain to make new neurological pathways by repetitions. They are all miracle makers who help to build and heal damaged Neuroplastic paths and encouraged new pathway’s.”

“I was sent to Musgrove A&E yesterday with a dog bite. Every one that saw me, from the receptionist, through to the triage nurse, the X-ray department, the nurse practitioners who assed me, the student, the doctor and finally the excellent nurse practitioner who cleaned and dressed my wounds and administered the vaccines were kind, as gentle as possible and very efficient. Total stay time? 3 1/2 hours. Amazing. Special shout out to Vicky Rae and Abdul. Super stars.”

“Parking spaces for disabled people could be nearer to the A&E entrance. There are two machines only you need a WiFi card or mobile phone to be able to purchase a coffee or a snack. They do come around every couple of hours with tea or coffee and then toast/sandwiches for free while you are waiting. The staff are very friendly, helpful and understanding of the discomfort of many patients. Whilst there's a wait of many hours depending on your health issues, we can say that we were seen in a methodical and timely manner, and we were very grateful at the outcome.”
