Lincoln County Hospital reviews

Having had a 24 hr spell in A and E,, it was an experience to be cherished. All staff throughout the Department, at every level, delivered a first class caring and compassionate service with professionalism, integrity, goodwill and with a …

Shame that the departments don’t answer the phone or get back to you when promised and cutting the call of many times, bad enough having consultants changed constantly like changing underwear on a regular basis without informing the …

Really great service, although busy my wife was looked after throughout. Was there for a while however this was to be expected given levels of people there. Staff were great and so caring. Could not rate these guys enough. They work tirelessly and provide such a high level of care. True heroes.

Lovely clean and bright hospital staff pleasant, would have given 5 stars but the consultant let the side down by.

Eight months ago I had a car accident, they took me to the hospital in Lincoln. There they examined me, x-rayed me and let me go home. I have been unable to request my medical records for eight months. This is a scandal, they write back that they are still working on sending the documents. Wieslaw Lisaj

Been here for 7 hours today and I’ve been looked after fantastically the staff couldn’t do enough for me. Just want to say that senior nurse practitioner Shane Searle was first class and is a credit to the NHS . Thank you so much for the way you looked after me .

If you’re going to rheumotology for fibromayalgia don’t even bother. They will tell you to lose weight even if you show them that you were literally 60lbs when your pain started. Just don’t give them your time and energy its not worth it

Appalling trying to park, I had to drop my husband off then go and find parking in a nearby estate then run to get in the hospital for his appointment. Its alright building new wings . Its time to increase the parking substantially

The receptionist staff were so rude when assisting a family member, having to wait 3/4 hours to be told what’s happening. The way staff spoke to other over listening was disgusting. There should of been more and better staff on. That actually like there job!!

Ashley from A an E taking duties at front desk on 15/10/2022 at 20:17. This person tried to send my 4 year old daughter home without seeing anyone about her illness without making any examination showing totally unprofessional in his duties. Person didn’t what introduce his full name calming there is only one Ashley.

Amazing. Just finished appointment at Clinic 11. 3rd time visiting and every time I have been impressed at the cheerful professionalism shown by every member of staff. I arrived a week early for my appointment in error, yet the receptionist …

Staff very friendly and helpful, but at no time was I informed I would have to spend the night in a chair in A&E!! My husband overheard a lady say she had been in a chair all the previous night and was not looking forward to another one. …

The Breast Care Unit..went over and above.My Consultant Miss Sami and my Breast care nurse Kate Hughes were absolutely amazing kind caring and compassionate .
1st class care and I would highly recommend without doubt this hospital re Breast cancer and breast care treatment.XXX❤️🥰😘😍 …

Went for blood test. Took ticket. The waiting areas were ridiculously full. It appeared they were taking one person every 15 minutes. How long does it take to draw a bit of blood????? I gave up after an hour. I love my health services but this service appears to let everyone down. Pull your socks up and move things along

Attended today for an MRI scan, yesterday I received an appointment Sunday 23rd for a ultrasound scan, of which I was not able to attend. Having travelled 25 miles to get to the hospital, after having my MRI, I went to the X-ray department, …

Friends daughter-in-law sat in A&E as I type, been there hours. A&E refusing to treat her because she has declined a PCR test. Trying to bully her into it by bringing her in and out of the side room, trying to “persuade” her to have it. …

I was transferred to Lincoln County Hospital on Wednesday last week, from Boston Pilgrim, where the staff were equally fantastic – particularly, Dr Jide Odowe and a blonde triage nurse, whose name I can’t recall – sorry. …

I recently had to spend a week in the hospital. I can honestly say that EVERY member of staff was professional, caring and helpful.
Great to see staff from so many backgrounds working as a team, towards one goal, …

Poor service, long wait times and was mocked for not having access to a car by a nurse. Hate this place.

Had to visit on a number of occasions. Good parking. Always found the staff very helpful. Let’s face it….its not a day out, but the care and treatment is professionally given.

The night staff are excellent but some of the day staff not so good

Accidentally left a Polar heart rate monitor on the bed in a consultation room when seeing a doctor. No one has handed it in so has been pocketed by one of the staff.

I wish to give ZERO stars however not an option.
Absolutely disgusted at the reception staff in a&e.
I arrived with an incredibly unwell 5 year old child, with letter from GP to be …

A&E – staff behaviour / attitude below standards. Unskilled staff, struggling with some cases. Lack of emphaty from reception staff (even when someone is lying on the floor they are not really bothered). Looks like they are doing everything …

My Aunt has been in and out of Lincoln hospital 5 times since catching covid in January. I live in Scotland so have been unable to see her. Every single person I have spoken to over the last 6 months from switchboard to consultant have been fabulous. Very helpful, clear and supportive. I can’t thank them enough for all they do.

Absolutely disgraceful, my husband went with a suspected fractured rib and breathing problems. I chaperoned him as he is my full time carer. Was told I had to leave, waiting time to be seen was a 24hr wait. There was no chairs as all were …

Hospitals closed to visitors so the only contact is through FaceTime, which is brilliant when Stroke unit remember to charge iPad. Everyday for last week we’ve been told iPad is flat. I fully understand they are busy but this is bad practice when this is the only way to see relatives

The NHS has been under immense pressure but this hospital lacks any degree of coordination or urgency to get any treatment done and clearly has no regards for the normal working person who doesn’t have the pleasure of just being able to sit …

In my time of need and not through choice, I was sent to Lincoln County Hospital. The staff conducted the long drawn out process that concluded with a diagnosis and me being admitted for treatment, which they did admirably and with as much …

Very poor attitude my fiancee arrived at Lincoln hospital A+E at 20:30, 4 1/2 hours later seen at 1:00 in the morning. I wouldn’t recommend this hospital, very poor staff and didn’t even give my fiancee pain relief for her pain

I took my wife in today (28th July 2020) for her 11:30am Xray & she had a great service from the radiology team, but our impression of our visit was spoilt by the appalling manner displayed by the female receptionist whose greeting was …

For relatives and visitors of patients a really painful experience when trying to get anyone to pick up the phone to make an appointment to visit. You can literally waste an entire day just trying to get through to someone. For patients the …

Disgraceful place, discarded muzzles everywhere. Trumped up nurses with her own mask on her chin trying to push the narrative, data protection breaches by having to leave your details for the whole world to see. Not a safe place to be especially for the elderly.
