What our patients say about their experience at Newcastle Hospitals as a private patient.

20th December, 2012

Suzi H – Hebburn ‘ I cannot recommend the RVI highly enough. I was looking for cosmetic surgery  and I went a number of cosmetic clinics in the area and my friend who works at the RVI told me about their private service.  I made an appointment and they were brilliant. I saw the Consultant himself not a nurse or ‘advisor’ and I was booked for my operation.  It was so smooth.  The Park Suite was lovely and all the staff really caring.  They re assured me and were really kind and supportive’.

AS – ‘I have been so pleased with the results of my surgery, the private patient office made everything so straightforward.  They sorted it all with my insurance company which meant I could just relax and recover’.

Mrs PJ – Newcastle ‘ I had no idea I could have my operation done privately at the Freeman Hospital.  I am so pleased I did.  I had the Consultant I wanted and the care and treatment I received was outstanding.  When I had to have further tests  the surgeon arranged it all.  I am so grateful to everyone thank you’.

Ron P – Alnwick.  ‘ It was my son in law who suggested that I have a private consultation with a Consultant at the Freeman.  I had been having some symptoms I was trying to ignore but my family encouraged me to go to the Doctor.  He referred me to the Consultant at Freeman.  It was so straightforward; I had an appointment in a week.

I saw the Cardiologist and he told me I needed treatment, I was given all the costs and encouraged to discuss it with my family and have a good think about it.

Having my surgery has given me a new lease of life and I cannot praise everyone highly enough.

Please give my thanks to all involved in my care’.
