North Shore Hospital

Chucked in a hallway and not spoken to for two hours despite having a life threatening condition. Told I would get a room, never got a room, watched others go in and out of spots in the room. Worst night I've ever had in a hospital.nnUpdate. I was told I would get a room the next day but I'm actually being left in the hallway for a second night despite an alarming find to my diagnosis. No nurses have reached out to me for help despite me getting up and asking to talk about things I should be doing.nnOne nurse overheard me asking a nurse for food because I was hungry. The nurse I asked said there was no food. Another nurse overheard and helped me get food.nnTo follow up on this. I was told I would be booked for a scan in 6 weeks. Never happened.

Just want to give a huge huge shout out to the midwives at the birthing and maternity suite at the north shore hospital. Their passion and joy to care for every single mother who comes through the door is just phenomenal to behold. They are not just a team of midwives, they’re like family to each other, covering for each other seamlessly. My wife and I are super pleased with our experience there, and couldn’t thank those who helped her to smoothly deliver our firstborn enough. You guys are amazing

A little over a week ago, my husband had a heart attack. At the time, we didn't know it. We walked into the emergency unit, and he was immediately admitted after they heard that he had chest pains.nI can not say enough good things about this hospital and its staff. Absolutely everywhere and he was moved around quite a bit, he was treated with dignity and respect. The rooms and bathrooms were immaculate. The staff was genuinely friendly, sympathetic, and caring.nThank you so much to the porters, cleaners, nurses, and doctors.nComing from a 3rd world country South Africa, we were both blown away by the level of care received by my husband.nI understand that others did not have the same experience as us, but I can not, in all fairness, give this hospital anything less than 5 stars.

My recent visit to North Shore Hospital left me with mixed feelings. While the staff at the Emergency Department were friendly and easygoing, the persistently long wait times remain a concerning issue within the New Zealand health system.nnI was referred to another medical centre due to the extended wait times at the ED department. Despite the warm demeanour of the staff, addressing the ongoing wait time challenge would significantly improve the overall patient experience.

Went in for some tests at the women's health centre last week. The doctors and nurse that looked after me were absolutely fantastic and made me feel at ease in an uncomfortable and stressful situation. They were kind, informative and walked me through each step with patience and care. A fantastic team that truly care about their patients.
