The sisters in oncology care are extremely rude. They never bring medicine on time. Often I would arrive at the hospital and my mother is in agony because her medicine has not been brought to her. My mother sat without oxygen for 45min because they simply "Had no stock". These are just a few grievances, there are many more. Disgusting.
A simple day trip to the radiology department involved a lot of wait time and a visit to the netcafe. The food is good, if expensive, and the service is on point.
All in all, decent place to sit and eat while in a place nobody really wants to be.
Linksfield clinic is really a very unpleasant hospital.
I spent 4 nights in Ward D with my 10 and half month old baby.
The staff are below average and everything is such a effort.
The food is shocking and i can't believe that they serve that.
The aircon has no remote, so you have to stand on the bed to turn it on or off.
The electronic thermometer was broken for almost 2 days. There should be another on standby.
Very few tv remotes worked, i had to go around the whole ward looking for one that worked.
The standard is shocking and really Netcare you should be embarrassed.
My personal experience has been super. I delivered my first baby here. It was a C Section. My doctor Dr Dheshni Naidoo and the staff are just amazing. Highly recommended.
Had two bad experiences in a row at their emergency department. I had to wait for almost 2 hours for a pethidine injection when I had a haematoma after hip replacement, and this was misdiagnosed which resulted in me needing surgery the next day.
On another occasion I waited for over 2 hours while having severe stomach pains, 2 people walked out despite being in pain as they were waiting for so long.
Shocking service and no feedback to patients.
Netcare do not care at all!
Dr CJ Meltzer so pleasant and helpful. Staff polite, kind and efficient. Hospital very clean and tidy. 10/10 Thank you Linksfield, hope all hospitals are fighting their way back to the brilliant places they were 20 years ago, does my heart good to see such improvements.
Medical Aid or R30000 upfront.
Or die on their doorstep.
Those are your choices.
Money comes before human life in this country.
The medical and nursing care are great. However, if you need to find out how your relative is from afar, keep wishing - communication is poor, with the exception of one orthopaedic surgeon (who's a brilliant surgeon and communicator) and one anaethetist (but sadly not based at Linksfield on a regular basis).
Clean place, super friendly staff. Admission took a while due to a computer mistake but once that was settled things went smoothly.
Had my daughter in the Paediatric ward. Brilliant staff and doctor Nyasulu was awesome.
Great nurses with great personalities.. Really make you feel at home
I was in Ward E Linksfield hospital for 10 days, being discharged on Friday last week. I have nothing but praise for the Staff. I was treated to well and with loving compassion, and can only thank them from the bottom of my heart. Many, many thanks.
I had to ask for my medication from the nurse on duty one evening. The nurse became aggressive and nasty, subsequently I find out she did not send the script to the pharmacy. I got my meds at 10.45pm. The air con in the room has no remote, you have to stand on the bed to reach the switch on and off. They attempted to fix it but instead removed the switch so at the moment it's a fridge. There are certain groups or shifts of nurses that are decent but the others truly did not choose the occupation because they care about people. They are rude, dismissive and have no bedside manner. They seem to hate their jobs.
Was there on an emergency and the Doctors, nurses, support staff are all amazing. Informative, compassionate and willing to assist without wasting time.!!
I have been to Linksfield Clinic on many occasions. I have always felt welcome by friendly and professional staff. What great service I have received. I have always been informed by the medical staff about my procedures and what to expect. Thanks to all for making my experience great.
