Berkshire Independent Hospital reading

I recently had a one day operation at the hospital and all I can say is that the whole service was excellent. I was very nervous about this operation but all the staff were super friendly and helpful, making my stay as pleasant as possible. I really cannot thank everyone there enough.

I recently had a knee operation at the hospital. I was looked after and properly cared by the excellent staffs, nurses, and auxiliary staffs. The operation was done under the supervision of Mr Andrade. He was extremely helpful and showed total professionalism in taking me through the stages of the procedure, before, during and after the operation, After care was excellent and I felt relaxed in a very comfortable environment before leaving the hospital after three days. The physiotherapy facilities in the Mansion house are more than adequate and I’m following the chartered programme of exercises and attending the ‘knee’ classes to improve my mobility. The staffs were courteous and very helpful. The consultant was excellent and first class. For aftercare the gym facilities at the Mansion House are excellent with close supervision by a physiotherapist - certainly would recommend ‘knee classes’.

One year ago I had surgery for a shoulder impingement. Mr Sforza and his team were amazing from start to finish and I am so grateful for their help. Sforza must be an artist as the surgery he's done was amazing and I just can't believe what a great job was done. My shoulder is now 100% better and I can't thank these guys enough. Genuinely life-changing for the better.

Just returned from a couple of operations carried out under general anesthetic at the Berkshire Independent .Very impressed with everything and everybody - from the receptionists, nurses, anesthetists, surgeon - the works - Lisa, Daniella, Janet, Helen, Neha, Jeniffer and Steve Foley to name a few - trying to think what comes to mind...professional, efficient, knowledgeable, charming, friendly, prompt, caring, understanding. Room was quiet and comfortable with everything to hand. Can't say more! ...and no this isn't an advert...

After numerous stays in this hospital, I can’t fault it one bit, not that I would want to. All the nursing & surgical staff are friendly & attentive and really took great care of me. The hospital is a clean & warm environment to be in, which is great for recovery. I can’t thank them enough.

I can not fault the care i’ve received here. Every single member of staff I came across was efficient, kind and caring and every single one did absolutely everything they said they would. The room was beautiful, the food exceptional and the care second to none! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I recently had a knee replacement here & although I was an NHS referral i was treat like royalty by doctors and staff alike,they turned a daunting time into a relaxed & as far as possible comfortable experience,Dr Tayton who performed my op was a straight talking,nice professional man who is definitely good at his job,anyone waiting for treatment here can rest assured they are definitely in the best of hands,thank you to everyone who works there👍🏻

I just wanted to say that I received outstanding service at the Royal Berkshire Independent. I was treated like absolute royalty. From the nurses, to the anaesthesiologist to the receptionist. Every single person That looked after me on that day was incredible. I would also like to add I ended having some palpitations or a quick heart rate and they made sure to incite me back straight away. They made sure that I was well before and still looked after me after my operation. One of the best treatments I have ever had. Thank you so so much! Op date- 21/06/2021

I'm sure if you are a private patient you'll be treated perfectly, but if your an NHS patient forget it. Operations cancelled with only a few days notice, then unable to rebook because the anaesthetist is not going to be available for around 6 weeks... What sort of joke organisation are you running. Treating NHS patients as second class citizens isn't acceptable.

I've lost faith in this place. I was told everything was go for my surgery, had the COVID test, blood tests, everything. Was reassured the whole way that nothing would stop the surgery I'd been fighting for for years. I had a very unpleasant experience for the final tests that I won't go into because I know they're over worked and doing their best so I know it's not their fault, but long story short, despite doing my best to lose weight, even after catching COVID in January and containing my diet since, and my weight not going down as it should (which I raised) I was told it can't be done. I now need to go back to my GP, who has been dragging me around for three years, fight to get another referral. Have to go through the entire humiliating process again. Fight for the right to the surgery that's hard enough to get at my age because "what about children" Because I'm fat and I have asthma. I know that's my fault but I've been trying. And to get so far, reassured countries times that nothing will get in the way NOT EVEN THE ASTHMA OR WEIGHT,to finally be able to get ready for the surgery to fix a major issue, only to be turned down, has utterly destroyed me.
