Circle Reading Hospital

"I've had a great experience recently here at the Circle Reading for a day case surgery. From start to finish I cannot fault anything. Very speedy for all my appointments and the surgery itself and my care has been brilliant by all. I would highly recommend. Thank you!"

"I’ve had fantastic experience at Circle Reading. Everyone from receptionists to nurses, anaesthesiologist and my surgeon made me feel welcomed and I felt assured my operation will go well and it did. On the day of the operation I wasn’t even worried or nervous, I was actually excited to have it. Thank you all for the best care I’ve had in the UK!"

"I'm at the clinic and just had my lower back injected for pain relief. It went very smoothly, the whole team were welcome and nice. Offered a lathe and biscuit after the surgery. Dr is brilliant and knows what's he is doing. Communicated with me throughout the surgery. The place is very clean and well staffed. I would definitely recommend."

"I had an Ankle fusion done at the Circle earlier this year, and I can’t praise the Circle hospital enough, they were excellent in every respect, all the appointments were bang on time and staff were very professional and always bright and cheerful. Reception / pre op nurse / X-ray / physio / ward nurses / anaesthetist and Mr Mahadevan who who did such a wonderful job on my ankle, a very helpful and approachable consultant. I can’t thank you enough, it will be life changing after 5 years of pain. Michelle and medical secretary Sue Spencer who have been most helpful throughout. Rob Varndell (a very satisfied and grateful patient)"

"My operation went really well; what I’m reviewing here is the Circle reading…which I found awful (for daycare at least!) I’m Italian and I went in as private patient. It was my first time in a hospital/clinic in the Uk…and I’m sad to say that I didn’t find it good at all. 5 hours wait for my planned operation, with no communication whatsoever on how long you are going to be there waiting; and you are made feel, in my opinion, not a person with pain, but just a barcode, a number, there to fatten up the Circle Reading accounts..I have no idea how many people were booked in that day…but I can say FAR TOO MANY!!! I honestly feel utter despair thinking that this is the best care available…I didn’t even feel like a person when I was there…just a paying cheque! Nurses mind their business…they just follow their list of duties…not sure how much “looking after “, proper looking after …with your heart I mean ,is part of a nurse job at the circle. The Circle reading is just a corporate business…making money with people health issues. In my opinion, when you deal with people at their most vulnerable (when they are unwell), you should offer something else…some warmth, something typically human! None of this in my experience at the circle. I can confidently say that a robot could have replaced the nurses on this occasion. Operation was successful, So I shouldn’t complain; but my day at the circle was unforgettable…not in a good way!"
