    I had a fantastic experience staying at the Bath Clinic. From the minute I was greeted on the ward to the moment I was discharged I was extremely well cared for. All members of staff from the waitresses to the aneaehnatist/surgeon were all very friendly, kind, reassuring and professional. The most difficult thing I had to think about was what food to order! I have been singing your praises to all my friends and family. Thank you to all the staff at the Bath Clinic who looked after me.

    I received excellent care from the doctor and anaesthetist and the level of nursing care is superior. My room was comfortable and administration efficient. I was served a five star lunch that put the cherry on the top of a great hospital experience.

    I recently had my gall bladder removed by Sarah Richards and her team. Every aspect of the whole procedure was covered efficiently, with care at every juncture. I would like you to pass on my gratitude to all the team, I have had no need for any of the provided pain killers, and am behaving as normal a couple of days after the op. Its astounding all my family. An example of the care in a tiny detail: Abigail my nurse for the day, when I pressed the attention button, I could hear her footsteps running down the passage to my room. Thank you to all involved.

    I was lucky enough to have had a total hip replacement at Bath Clinic 7 weeks ago and I cannot imagine a better environment in which to have this operation. The care and encouragement , as well as a top class surgeon, made for a great life - enhancing experience. I am very grateful to all involved.
