St Hugh's Hospital - Grimsby

Abigail S.

I am a patient here at St Hugh’s hospital in Grimsby undergoing cosmetic surgery by the brilliant surgeon, Mr Riaz!

From my 1st consultation to my admission and surgery today, everyone and everything has been brilliant. I had upper and lower facelift, one being the pioneering R lift meaning less recovery time. I had upper lids, neck liposuction and a chin implant. It took 5 hours and hurts like hell now but the brilliant staff are on top of pain and anything they can do to make you feel more comfortable- none of it is no trouble at all!

I’m in a private room, can pay in instalments which, for me, meant I could get it done sooner at 54 rather than wait for my pension to mature and take the plunge. Mr Riaz was recommended to me - it’s all subtle but dramatic results as I have met many patients who I only know had any work because they told me.

Staff are incredible like my main carer, Lucy but also Riaz’s Angels, Kerry-Anne, Sheila and Robyn (who makes the best hot chocolate!. Caroline, Mick the anaesthetist, Dr Petra and so many others I’ll have to add into this review later.

I’ve been self-concious and planning this for years because of my genetics and low-self esteem the last few years, I’ve taken steps to stop the clock and make some adjustments to give myself a boost despite my lovely friends and family saying I don’t need it. Check in later to see results, physically and mentally! I hope to stop hiding away so much.

Thanks to everyone at St Hugo’s for looking after me with their big hearts and professionalism.

I booked here to see an ENT specialist after reading all the great reviews.Not feeling able
to wait 22+ for an nhs appointment I paid to be seen here privately within 2 weeks.
What a disappointment.
I came away with no more answers than my Dr gave me. The same tests were done as I'd had in my Drs surgery, which included a quick look in my ears and a balance test.
For the £175 I paid in advance for a first consultation, I expected to come away with more than just another prescription 'to see if it helps'
Sorry to say, but for me it was an absolute waste of time and money.

Updated

I have just recieved my notes from the appointment which show that I was not even listened to and the opposite of what I said has been noted. I am also unimpressed that the specialist says 'possible' before his diagnosis.
Very disappointing experience here.
What exactly did I pay for?

Had my left hip completely replaced on Friday 29th November 2024, I would like to say how wonderful the staff are, how clean a nice the rooms are and how professional Mr Howell was. I can't fault St Hughes and I hope my review puts all future patients at ease. Wishing everyone the very best.

WOW what can I say about this hospital? Well first impressions were not very good my son had an operation booked and was told to be here for 12:30
But arrive 11:45 for us be COVID tested. We arrived at 11:36 and reported via phone to reception. A rather friendly chap came out and tested us in the car, we then sat for 50 minutes awaiting the test results. At this point I’m thinking we will be here all day and night. When you think about it tho you release the times we are in and if COVID got into the hospital the. Where would we be? So my initial disappointment was replaced with the understanding the need for the delay.

When we got into the hospital we were quickly taken to the hospital room with a big tv on the wall, on suite with a bath and shower, chairs and a table along with the bed and a door into a garden. You know it’s a hospital it felt more hotel kind of feel.

The consultant and operating staff came and spoke with us and explained everything perfectly. We knew just what was going to happen and what risks we could expect even tho a very small change of them.

The nurses and staff’s attitude and work efficiently was amazing. Checking on my son, before and after the surgery. In my opinion totally above what was expected.

While my son was having his surgery I was in his room waiting and I was checked on and even brought tea and biscuits.

When my son was brought back from recovery again he was checked on by very attentive staff. They were so friendly, caring and helpful even tho you could hear them working non stop.

I have got to say a massive thank you to everyone at this hospital who had any contact with my son and I.
WHAT A FANTASTIC AND AMAZING SERVICE BY OUR NHS STAFF

On behalf of Angelah and myself, we are saying thank you to each and everyone who was involved in her care pre and post op. It was first class treatment in every aspect. You are a credit to yourselves and the nursing profession.

From minute one , arriving 2 hours early for my surgery (6am) than I was supposed to , I was looked after. From being allowed into my room early (Thank you Jane) to the nursing staff who were absolutely outstanding. My main contact was Louise (Louise T as I called her) who was professional , courteous personable and sooooo funny ( could have chatted for hours) . She explained everything to me right down to the minute details. After surgery care was even better checking in on me every 15 mins. The surgical staff were again outstanding with everything explained in detail. IF I ever need surgery again THIS would be my hospital of choice.

I had Rhinoplasty done with Mr Riaz through a recommendation and he is absolutely one of the best surgeons out there, he was so gentle during my surgery that I recovered with hardly any bruising at all! My scar is practically invisible! The care I received at St Hugh’s was phenomenal, the food was amazing and all staff were so caring and kind! The aftercare has also been fantastic! I honestly had what I think was quite possibly the best recovery after a procedure like that! I was so nervous from the moment I walked through those doors on surgery day but I was made to feel so at ease and it was just the best place I could’ve had this procedure done at (I didn’t want to leave😂) I would choose this hospital 100 times over for any operation! I would recommend Mr Riaz and this hospital to anyone!!

I had a partial knee replacement surgery last year with Mr Antapur as my surgeon. From my first consultation to my final check up last week, I cannot praise this hospital and all the staff highly enough. The care provided is second to none and I am so grateful to everyone, but especially Mr Antapur for this new lease of life, pain free and able to walk and cycle again. Thank you
