Musgrove Park Hospital reviews

We brought our 6 month old son here when he became ill during a holiday. All of the staff are a credit to this hospital. Yes we had a wait, but it was considerably less than if we had been at our local hospital. All of the staff were …

I don’t usually write reviews, but the care I received here following gastric surgery warrants the best one. This not only comes from a human perspective, but also as a retired nurse myself! Every single member of staff were kind, caring …

I think I’d rather suffer at home than ever experience the rudeness of any of the NHS Staff here again. And these people want a pay rise? For what? Taking over 8 hours to put fluids in my arms and was given no paid relief in the mean time …

I was unfortunately taken ill with severe pain while on holiday nearby. I was directed to attend Musgrove A & E by 111. From the moment I entered the department I was overwhelmed by the kindness & professionalism of all the staff – from …

I went for my spinal/Orthopaedic appt today at Musgrove in Taunton and I must say…what amazing staff. Organised, very thorough and super friendly/happy. Was a pleasure to go there. Great job in difficult times. Thank you to them all (And Yes I did say it to them personally aswell) 🥰 …

Beware!!! Musgrove park hospital are using the Liverpool care pathway to end the lives of those patients that they deem terminal. They killed my father! They have destroyed so many lives. It has to stop!

Car parking reasonable, easy access to sections of hospital, though M&S cafe was shut on a Saturday… a bit odd.. surely missing out there?? Coffee out of a automated machine is wrong in my experience.. lovely receptionist in the Breast Care …

I came in yesterday for a procedure, nothing major but it required a general anaesthetic. Cannot fault the staff and team involved. They were amazing, from the reception team, to the doctors, to the nurses. Thank you for such wonderful care.

Every single staff member was excellent, I had to take my elderly mum for a procedure, it was the hottest day of the year , yet every single member of staff that we passed asked if we were ok did we need help finding anywhere, even when I …

I have been there whit a friend who cam in England to visit me.. he needed some kind of surgery.. they give antibiotics which have no positive effect.. so we go …

From being informed that I required further investigation for a medical problem, I have been treated politely by all staff from reception staff to Doctors. All were very professional but kind and helpful. The procedure was explained fully …

Some people work here only to pass their shift.. Some Inexperienced Doctors.. Brits love to chat ..

My 1st visit and I can only say it was the quickest easiest hospital visit I have ever had And the young Gentleman that dealt with me at the neuroscience department was brilliant at putting me at easy whilst doing the tests he needed too. Clean and very tidy also.

Absolute joke! 2 men sat here at 1am with our 2 daughters both younger than 5 for over 4 hours and not even asked of our babys would like anything, only 4 people in the waiting room. Disgusting to leave children waiting that long no matter what is wrong.

Great ambulance service earlier this last evening Monday, while staying near junction 25 of m5 motorway, for my brother as normal! the ambulance crew were very friendly and understanding, many thanks again too jenny and Ben working at …

Having read some of the reviews it must be a different hospital to the one I visited, a lot of confusing consultations and Five , yes Five cancelled operations, all in favour of Romanians or other people freeloading off the NHS all at my …

I took a look at the food menu for the first time, there were a number of really appetising chilled lunches. Given I work in the hospital , I don’t have time to often prepare such a meal the night before. I chose a quiche and salad, a …

My husband was seen quickly in ED; treated kindly and efficiently in a busy department. I was also cared for, which as a mere relative and escort, was very much appreciated. Thank you to all staff attending.

Awful experience, once we had found our way past the drunk people dancing with the ambulance teams outside A&E we were shouted at for entering without permission by the receptionist. We had been waiting for over ten mins prior to walking …

Worth the read, please pay attention to the last part.
Overnight in A&E was an absolute terror. When I say “our wonderful NHS” I exclude the revolting receptionist (short brown pixie cut hair, kind of short height) …

Faith completely broken in Taunton professionals. My sister has been relentlessly the subject of jokes and fobbed off for years, emails sent with secretary staff making personal comments and others stating she was making up her seizures, …

Friend admitted yesterday she a type 1 diabetic. Had to fight with Ambulance staff to get them to take her in. Then Doctor rang me – why did I call from an ambulance???Patient diabetic and in crisis !!! After that it was right fixed that …

After being told I had to stay over night on a loud ward. I asked if I could go home for some sleep and come back 5 hours later given my obs and bloods were normal. I was told no and had to stay. I was taken to my bed and the nurse said I …

Excellent hospital, with excellent staff who saved my husbands life 2nd and then gave him first class care. Without you all Nigel would not be here for his family in 2022 and we will be eternally grateful to everyone involved.
Happy new year to you all and thank you again xx

I was taken by ambulance to Musgrove hospital with severe eye pain and partial loss of vision. I was treated for acute angle closure glaucoma. All the staff were fantastic and have saved me from going blind. I discovered that had I not got …

My father was admitted to this hospital over 2 weeks ago and I must say the communication is this place is an absolute disgrace. Due to the covid restrictions my family are unable to visit him. On the third day he was suppose to have a CT …

Isn’t it about time covid restrictions are gone is this going to go on forever?
It is so cruel not to let patients have their loved ones sit with them.
My father was admitted after having an accident and my eldery mother had to sit …

I would like to thank the great staff in the A&E
Friday night Saturday morning. November 18-19.
Very thorough and prompt service.

A truly wonderful hospital. All staff are a credit to NHS.

I have been attending Musgrove Park Hospital for nearly 15 years as an outpatient, so probably in the region of 40 appointments during that period.
During that time I have never been disappointed by any aspects, all the staff …

Had a accident on the farm which resulted in a trip to A&E I arrived at 1:30 and was admitted had pain relief x-rayed and had my arm relocated and was discharged just after 5. …

Hysteroscopy including biopsies with no offer of pain relief or anaesthesia. The nurses treat you with contempt if you react to the pain. The admission and procedure was rushed and poorly explained, including that it was their intention to …

I had a urology procedure performed in the Day Surgery Centre recently and could not have had better service. The staff were delightful and the wait short. Everything was carefully explained before and during the procedure. Although I …

Very poor service in that hospital that go to all hospital not just musgrove park hospital

Absolut joke, don’t go on weekends or you will rather die waiting then be seen. That’s a hard working NHS who is paid from our taxes, and let’s a small child wait over 7h to be diagnosed by a doctor and then wait another fev for medicine.

Wife gave birth to our second at the hospital last week. Staff were brilliant, facilities were decent and complications s were handled with professionalism. Only complaint is the car park cost! As the husband, I was coming and going a lot …

Although extremely busy my wife was given first class treatment from all the staff. I would like to say a very big thank you to them all. Well done Musgrove Park hospital.

My husband was admitted for surgery at the day unit of the hospital. The staff were friendly and informative but appeared overworked. The interior of the day unit was very clean and I was impressed by how the staff ensured everybody used …

Staff were amazing. Doctor health care assistant reception. considerate caring and mainly thorough! thank you. Leigh… I hope taunton did better at rugby than England today! thank you for keeping.pops safe.and sound 🙂

Too over crowded. Not enough space to cope with all the patients on site. Better for a team of doctors to travel to patients, than for a thousand patients to travel to doctors surely.

My Dad died in Musgrove in October, they put his personal belongings (watch, keys, phone, etc.) in a bin bag with soiled clothing & by the time we received it everything was destroyed/ruined. …

Saved my life, need I say more. Extremely caring and professional staff, not just doctors and nurses, I would also include all the supporting staff there too. Visiting times seem to be really flexible, food is good and you get plenty of choice (just ask). The Beacon Centre is just amazing is every respect.

I had a procedure done at the day centre. I was made aware prior to the day that there could be a wait for surgery. I did wait for a few hours, but in that time I met the nurses, anaesthesiologist and doctor who were all friendly and …

My partner was admitted to Musgrove for 2 nights, would like to say thank you to all the great staff who looked after him. Great service from NHS and lovely clean wards with helpful friendly staff.

100% fantastic! What a truly wonderful hospital we have, no-one wants to be there as a patient but I can honestly say I was treated with care, patience, dedication and empathy in the onset of sudden illness. The staff in A&E were …

Great park and ride service, which stops by the hospital. It has a Costa shop which is good for drinks. Lovely Musgrove.

I would like to say a massive thankyou to Erin the nurse and her team who work on AMU. On behalf of my nanny June Johnson and family. We are forever in debt to you for your care and compassion, especially the way you looked after my nanny …

I wanted to take the time out to say how unbelievable my service and level of …

A big thank you to all the staff at MAXILLO FACIAL Musgrove Park Hospital Taunton who attended me for dental treatment and severe pain in my gums. I was very nervous of having a tooth extraction but they put me at ease straight away.

My wife has just been in for an urgent investigation and while medically the analysis and conclusions seem reasonable nothing else about the experience was acceptable- much of the failings come down to staffing levels but there is no excuse …

I was rushed into majors on Sunday 18 th September after suffering a seizure my first at 79.I must pass on my heartfelt thanks to the two ambulance crews and doctor who attended me at home and the excellent nursing staff from doctors to nurses.Please could my thanks be passed on to the departments concerned.Martin Douglas

My father suffered a suspected stroke today and we could never have asked for better treatment from the nurses in A&E Jo, Katherina and Ruta together with lady Doctor whose name I rudely cannot recall. We would like to give a huge thank you …

Well the A and E eye lady doctors were fantastic. They removed a splinter of steel from my eye ball. Excellent service and extremely professional. Then the eye clinic doctor was very patient as he cleaned my eye ball. Not an experience I would like to do again but the staff were very helpful.
Many thanks.
