Just had a knee op at Louth hospital Fotherby ward. The service provided by the nursing staff and doctors was first class. They kept me informed of what was happening thru every stage of the procedure answering any questions. A massive thank you to everyone involved for the care and attentiveness shown through out the day.

I probably waited an hour and was seen by two nurses. They were both lovely and I was out within 20 mins of being seen. Totally recommend Louth if you need treatment.

I visited the walk in unit today late morning I was met by two lovely ladies- receptionist & nurse.
They listened to me supported me with a smile. Dr.Smith listened to me and prescribed medication. My experience this morning was excellent thank you all.

Extremely rude member of reception staff directed my wife (who has foreign accent) and I in an aggressive, disrespectful and unconsciously racist manner to the Eye unit on Fotherby ward. I have never encountered such aggression from a …

Just been for an ultra sound scan. Very professional and prompt and polite service.

My father was a very nervous patient for an endoscopy and he couldn’t say enough about how kind and considerate the nurses were. Also, the Consultant was highly professional. My father advised it was a 5 star service and if he ever needed the same treatment he would choose this hospital and the same consultant.

I went to Louth Urgent Treatment Centre recently and found out that it was closed. I had to call 111 and get a doctors appointment the next day instead. Much better off going to Grimsby hospital for any treatment.

The treatment we received was exemplary, the waiting times for both of us was …

Perhaps I am being a bit harsh here as all medical staff have appeared very caring. However my husband has been waiting for a cardiology appointment since 16th September 2018. A catalogue of clerical errors,which they were first made aware of on 12th October 2018 and they seem unable or unwilling to sort out.

This is the type of Hospital that shows how the NHS should be, everywhere! Just a pleasure to be treated there, warm, freindly staff. Busy, but that does not interfere with the calmness & professionalism that is everywhere. A fabulous asset to the area & an example to the rest!
