The best Hospital in Australia!
(See Newsweek article best hospitals 2022)
I am grateful for the speedy diagnosis of a rare condition in the ER.
Quickly, the appropriate treatment was started on the same day.
You are in good hands here...
I signed up for the online patient portal. No miss-communication or missed appointments here.
Let me start by saying I am a resident of both US and Australia so I am in a unique position of being able to compare hospital experiences from both countries. This past week I ended up in Alfred Hospital due to a foot bacterial infection that was spreading fast and required hospital stay. This is an amazing hospital, in fact it is so impressive, I still cannot believe that it's a public hospital. The entire experience, from arrival and a pretty short wait time, to discharge was as pleasent as one's stay in hospital can be. The staff were professional, caring and accomodating to the same level that's I've seen in expensive US hospitals. I was constantly kept in the loop with regards to my case and I never felt forgotten, ignored or pushed aside. Keep in mind that my case was a walk in the park compared to the type of medical cases that these people deal with daily, but that had no effect on how I was treated. The facilities were excellent, clean, new, I honestly did not feel like I was in a public hospital. The food was very good too, obviously it's not the Ritz Hotel, but it's not supposed to be anyway. To cut the long story short, excellent, professional, superb in every way!!! I hope I don't have to visit any hospitals any time soon but if I do, I'm going to the Alfred Hospital.
The worst hospital ever!! Waited 39 mins to get transferred to the ward my husband was released from yesterday and was given no discharge papers for after care. He coughed up blood that was red not brown.. so rang the hospital and no one picked up from the ward he was on.. Level 5 East.. I understand they are busy, however someone should be manning the phones. Absolute disgrace.
Dirty unethical staff. Receptionist was busy playing games on the computer and had the volume up way to loud with it....why?... Went in with a dislocated knee, was offered a Panadol, doctor signed off to get it and THEN I NEVER RECIEVED IT despite saying they gave it to me.
Other time i was waiting 2 over 2 hours for tooth pain. Just ended up having to go to the pharmacy and triple dose on ibuprofen on Panadol
Presented to the ER with difficulty breathing due to a recent asthma diagnosis and everyone from reception, security, nurses, radiologists and doctors were incredible! So so kind and helpful. You can tell they genuinely care for their patients and even though they are under the pump and it’s the middle of the night and I’m sure they’re tired they were absolutely amazing! Probably the best experience and level of care I’ve ever received at any hospital! I didn’t get a chance to see the doctor before I left but a massive thank you to Dr. Eri Aung and all the nurses who looked after me! So grateful 🥰
Overall, a very comforting treatment by all staff involved. Dr Sanjeev Gill, has shown his respect and compassion on a number occasions and I wish him all the best.
Dr Chloe Coleman is also great and honest to the point a quality caring doctor. Nurses are always the best here. Full clarity and no hesitation in providing details for their patients. Dissapointed in Prof. Mark Shackleton the director of oncology doesnt spend time with patients only maybe one ward visit from him in 8 months no clarification. He seems to leave his own team out to take the falls. He should be ashamed to call himself the director of the clinic.
My son suffered a burn to his hand and was taken by ambulance to the Alfred. He received amazing care from the doctors and nurses in the emergency dept. His after care from the burns unit was also beyond words.
Their follow up is ongoing.
Thank you so much to all who have help in the recovery of my son.
Just spoke to Connie the receptionist… so rude and unhelpful. The tone in which she speaks to people is unacceptable and unprofessional. For the love of god Connie… get a new job!!! I’m trying to organise Professor Kenneth Thomson so help with my brothers pancreatic cancer and you were horrible! Shame on you. You couldn’t even direct the call to his office, you didn’t even know if he worked there! Can someone from management please contact me asap as I need to get through to Professor Kenneth Thomson.
The staff at the alfred were absolutely incredible. My mother suffered three burst brain aneurysms within a week of each other and my Dad and I had a very hard time coping through the trauma of it all (to say the least). The ICU nurses and …
