Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust : Neurology

Efficient lovely staff

I had have stones in kidney, as doctors has recommended small surgery, which usually takes 30 minutes.It can be done usually within one day, but this hospital took 5 days , as lack of service and management in Hospital.Every day, they were given different reasons of delay for surgery. All of the reasons were point less and irrelevant.All of processes was very slow.On 4th day , I was mentally depressed as operations theatre were not responding.I did have severe pain from 3 days. Although ,all nurses and doctors gave painkillers and paracetamol instead of surgery.I had taken more than 30 painkillers, because hospital don't have much facilities for surgery.Just because of lack of resources in hospital.Every morning doctors come with new reasons and delays the surgery.Moreover, I had been transferred in wards, which were surrounded by people, those who are mentally unwell.I am so unhappy with that services.I have got one help from Dr.Maheta, who helped me to make my process faster.Thankyou Dr.Maheta.

My wife has been seen here twice by Dr Ann Cheesman, this consultant was the first person to show compassion and understanding of the devastating nerve damage she is suffering from, Dr Cheesman took the time to explain what's going on and offer support. We now have a diagnosis and can seek ways of improving quality of life moving forward.A lovely Dr who hasn't forgotten that patients are people with lives and hope.

No wait. Did what was required efficiently

Absolutely disgusting my daughter with LD would get better care at a supermarket. She has recieved zero from neurology
