In January this year I suffered a back injury and was referred to Mr Bernard and team at Wimbledon Parkside hospital. An initial consultation and MRI was swiftly arranged at convenient times for myself. After review of the MRI, where I felt Mr Bernard the surgeon was approachable and delivered the necessary information with care and consideration, a plan was formulated to cater for my needs. Alas my condition worsened and I communicated this to Mr Bernard, who responded promptly and decided surgery was necessary. It was at this point where I felt the individual care and attention was fantastic. Mr Bernard's team pulled out all the stops to attend to my needs with immediacy. Within two days my surgery was completed successfully and my post op plan was clear and organised. After hearing many horror stories about back surgery, I must say that my experience thus far has been wholly positive. All pain and the partial paralysis I was suffering from has been alleviated and I am back to all forms of sport within 12 weeks of surgery, with almost fully recovered strength and flexibility. A complete and thorough physio and exercise program is an essential part of the rehabilitation process of course. Mr Bernard was very helpful with my return to work pathway. Certain specific checks and reports where needed and he didn't hesitate to familiarise himself with them and complete them in full. Many thanks to Mr Bernard, Claire and the team. I felt supported and cared for throughout what could have been a harrowing process.

I have been at several private hospitals and this is not up to the level of other private hospitals I have attended. The reception staff are unfriendly and unwelcoming - this has been the case on two occasions I have had to use this hospital. The nursing staff in the day care unit where I had to have a minor op were also not helpful. The doctors I have seen there are of course absolutley brilliant - just I shame I wasn't able to seen them at another hospital - in future I will make sure I can as most of the doctors work at several private hospitals. Unfortunately Parkside does not compare favourably with the New Victoria or BMI Coombe Wing or St Anthony's.

I have had different treatments at Parkside Hospital on various occasions over the past eleven years. I have always been very happy with the level of care I have received there. I believe the hospital is consistent in delivering a very high standard of care. It is very clean and well maintained, the reception areas are very comfortable and the appointments run pretty much on time.I have found all of the staff including reception staff, nursing staff and the consultants to be both extremely professional and very friendly.

I think we are very lucky to have such a good private hospital so close by. I am always seen by excellent doctors and nurses who are unfailingly professional and kind. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble and everyone liaises with each other so everyone knows what the other person is doing.

My 2 year old son was seen by a paediatric orthopaedic specialist. The hospital was easy to find and the on site parking a delight. Upon arrival at the lovely modern out patient facility I was greeted warmly and was asked to patiently wait to be seen. The children's waiting area is clean and uncluttered and coffee was great. Having seen the specialist, I was then shown and escorted by a friendly nurse to the X-ray department who apologised for the ongoing building works, but was however seen to promptly by the radiologists. All in all I have nothing but praise for this delightful local private healthcare facility.

All of the staff I met were highly professional and keen to ensure 100% customer satisfaction. Parkside provides excellent care and treatment - highly recommended.

I received AMAZING care from the staff at Parkside. The nurses are the best in the business as is the rest of the staff. The food is also delicious. This hospital would get a 5 star rating from me however BEWARE there is no air con in many of the patient rooms. Do not go there for elective surgery when it is hot - the heat in the patient rooms is unbearable and there are not even enough fans to go around. The conditions were almost inhumane given the heat. Also, the plumbing is not good so if you take a shower do not endeavor to do this without assistance, the water coming out of the taps is either scalding or freezing. So, good staff, good food, but physical conditions were borderline disgusting in my opinion.

I visited the hospital for a consultation about cataract in both eyes. I then had two operations as a day patient, each of which was followed by a post-op check-up. I was treated superbly at the hospital throughout. Everyone was very helpful and considerate and I could not have wished for anything more.
