Spire Leicester Hospital,

Gartree Road, Leicester LE2 2FF

"I attended this hospital in order to have a Greek Visa medical form completed and paid £130 to see a GP there. He requested blood tests and an X ray to be done before he could sign the form. The price quoted for the tests was £411 and another £130 for the X-ray. This would make the total cost £671. My employer refused to pay this and I attended Harley Street where I saw a Dr, had an X ray and blood test completed for £222. The staff, Dr and other communications with this hospital have all been perfectly pleasant but in my circumstances it was £130 wasted due to the excessive prices or perhaps a low appetite for risk before signing a form."

"A year ago we decided to have our daughter assessed for ADHD. We were a little ambivalent about the decision at the time but thanks to the care of Dr Mooncey we are now extremely glad that we took the plunge. She was really empathetic and supportive and made every effort to really get to know and understand our daughter and to help her to recognise her strengths and to support and thus minimise her weaknesses. With online meetings available the whole process was straightforward and unstressful and has helped our daughter onto a really positive path."

"I attended Spire Leicester Hospital 2 weeks ago for surgery for an Umbilical Hernia. Like a fool I had left this problem for years without getting it attended to - and it was now protruding the size of a tennis ball 9 year waiting list on the NHS if your lucky - hence the visit to Spire To describe myself as a nervous patient is a major understatement - I was terrified! All my concerns were unnecessary. From arriving to leaving - the treatment was second to none. The receptionists, nurses, anaesthetist and the whole team that looked after me were nothing less than fantastic. Can’t thank them enough. 2 weeks later I’m feeling great up and about, driving, back to work etc. I thought I’d be out of action for 6 weeks or more… Can’t thank them enough and highly recommend Spire Leicester Oh - I almost forgot. One last special thank you. Professor Lloyd that did the surgery. I knew from the start I was in the very best possible hands. Somehow carried out a big procedure with absolute minimum invasion. GENIUS! Many thanks to everyone at Spire!"

"Good hospital but does not take American Express. When I questioned this with the management, it was due to higher fees. I explained that my local hairdresser takes Amex and that I usually visit Nuffield because they also take Amex. But they do not see the longer term picture in that I would visit them more often if they accepted Amex. The penny pinching can also be seen in the reception area as every time I visit, the queue is often going outside with the reception desk being manned by two receptionists. As a result, they are losing out due to their penny pinching. Their loss, not mine, I will continue to visit Nuffield more often."

"The car park at this hospital is an absolute disgrace. To say many consultant appointments are now around £200 for 15 minutes you do not expect to have to circle around for half an hour looking for a space and leaving your vehicle at high risk of damage due to the overly cramped conditions. A lot of the spaces seem to be taken by staff but it makes what is a stressful experience anyway so much worse when you can’t just park. I now go to Spire Nottingham instead it is far better organised and more friendly reception staff too."
