I had a Total Left Hip Replacement. I was made to feel at ease, from the Surgeon Mr Lovasz, the Anaesthetist Dr Kapoor, Assistant B. Miles and all the Staff in theatre and Recovery room. What a fantastic team. I couldn't praise & thank them enough. Not forgetting all the nurses on the ward and the Physios i came in contact with, the Admin Staff who i spoke to on the phone to book my surgery, all very pleasant and professional. Nothing was too much trouble, so caring. Well done everyone. I would recommend the Barlborough to anyone, who is thinking about surgery, they are over and above the care they all give, you would never find a better hospital.

Had a partial knee replacement at barlborough.Only been home a day,it's painful to say the least,but have to thank everyone at the hospital.EVERYONE at the hospital deserves credit for the care I received,top class service ,professional, with a bit of humor thrown in at times.Cant praise everyone enough and can't remember all the names,but Jane,who cared for us on the ward during the day,is such a wonderful person.Abbie,the physio,too.Sorry if I haven't named the people I met,but want to offer my thanks to everyone there for their caring, compassionate, professional attitude.The team there is absolutely fantastic,keep it up guys,you do a fantastic job.Thank you all so much ,John

This was my second total hip replacement, so I was more aware what to expect this time around albeit at a different hospital.
What I perhaps wasn’t expecting was just how friendly, caring and even funny all the staff were, all of the time. I was always made to feel special, despite it being a busy ward. Professional skills were exemplary, and so were their people skills. Not often, in any trade, do you find a whole department that excel in both
My consultant was so detailed and explained everything at a level to match my understanding. The surgery went so well, it was only less than two days ago but I feel little pain and walk well with crutches
I will recommend very highly this hospital to anyone seeking a joint replacement

Amazing experience. Really well looked after for the 3 days mum was in. Staff were patient, kind, friendly and professional. Adi, Donna, Richard, Claire and Paul with his tea trolley looked after us. They all made mum feel at ease and we both enjoyed the food!

Excellent care and professionalism. Couldn't ask for better, nor suggest improvement. Thank you for everything concerned with my attendance. Tracey and Lesley were absolute diamonds.

I had a replacement hip operation. All the staff were very helpful, friendly and professional.
This is written on behalf of my wife and are her words.

My treatment at Barlborough NHS Treatment Centre was first rate. My thanks to Mr Lovasz and his team for the Complex Total Knee Replacement procedure carried on June 17th. Thanks to the staff on Ward K who were amazing in their approach to looking after patients. Thanks to Adi for his thoughtful approach and Lorren for her kindness and smile.

Excellent service - the hospital, drs, consultants and nurses are wonderful. They are kind, considerate, very knowledgable and clearly experts. They took all fear away of the operation. Absolute kindness. Thank you very much for the care pre the operation, during my stay and the after care. Excellent Food in the hospital - especially the fruit salad !

IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS I WOULD. l had a previous NHS appointment with Practice Plus Barlborough Hospital with Mr Al-tamimi the spinal surgeon there.l was with my Wife and recorded it.
Mr Al-tamimi looked at the letter from the Claremont hospital from 2014 having a revisional failed L5/S1 surgery. I also had letters from Mr Mathius Radatz a Senior neurosurgeon at the Thornbury hospital Sheffield who sent me for an mri scan with contrast in 2021 and then told me the results.He said that l have come to him too late and was very sympathetic.He said that my L5/S1 was knackered to put it bluntly and that there were 2 masses of scar tissue around the disc he called fibrosis and any attempt to remove it could cause me loss of motor function so he couldn't get to the disc for the scar tissue and said that he wouldn't advise anyone else to attempt it.
I then saw Mr Edwards the orthopedic surgeon at Thornbury who agreed that my Chronic back pain and left leg sciatica with /buttock pain was radiating was from my S1 spine and all the scar tissue which he confirmed in a letter.
When l saw Mr Al-tamimi he said that l had not just one problem but 2 which he said was in my left buttock.So hearing that l decided to go for a specialist Mri Scan that was brand new in Leeds called a 3T Deep Resolve Tissue Scan.
The results came back negative. He also said Chesterfield Royal Hospital had given me the wrong Nerve Root Block back in 2016 & should have been a S1 nerve root block.So l looked for the best consultant on their website and came up with Dr Thomaz Bendinger. But unbeknown to me l didn't realise he is Primarily in the Sheffield Hospitals.They used my NHS appointment with Mr Al-tamimi. (ONLY 10 MINUTES WHICH IS THE SHORTIST CONSULTATION I HAVE EVER HAD) and then the NHS Pre-op.I had the 3T scan in March with results the following week with Living care who were very helpful.So it turned out that the 2 Thornbury Surgeons were both correct & Mr Al-tamimi was wrong about 2 problems as they said it was one problem radiating from my spine.That was nearly £500.
I booked the S1 nerve root block with Mr Bendinger and was told his first available appointment was May 20th so l booked it. I was told that Mr Al-tamimi had to refer me even though he wrote it in the NHS Report before discharging me. Catherine Mosley who said because l had extra documents l emailed her which were the same documents that he had already seen but because l sent in the Reprort of the 3T scan from LivingCare in Leeds.I then sent numerous emails to Catherine asking if they had received my 3T MRI scans from the end of March.I even had the approval of chrysalis finance the company they use for the procedure which l paid half towards the treatment and the rest with chrysalis finance.After all the phone calls l finally got an email back from Catherine because I wanted Dr Bendinger (Pain management consultant) to examine the 3T Deep Resolve Tissue Mri Scan as it had over 300 images. Catherine sent me an email on April 17th saying Unfortunately Mr Bendinger is not back with us until the 20th of May & will view the MRI scan on the day.(WHICH HE DIDN'T)but I have emailed him your information.(HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T READ THIS EMAIL THAT KATIE HARRIS THE MANAGER WAS ALSO TAGGED IN ).Then l received another email on April 22nd saying Mr Bendinger has said he has no option to review my Mri before the 20th May & that he will review it on the day of the injection.So as a back up l sent a Sars request to LivingCare in Leeds and immediately got the digital images which my Son put on my tablet as he does reports on his laptop all the time as he is a Police Officer and downloaded me an app so l could view them.
The day of the injection came and Dr Bendinger came around l asked him if he had seen the 3 T Mri & showed him my tablet and started a brief look through.It was evident to me he had not viewed the mri on the day like Catherine's Email said he would.He even went through the Letters from Mr Radatz & Mr Edwards. Even the letters from 2012 from the failed surgery.My son kept passing him my information.He told me if your nerves are damaged for so long that the injection will do nothing on May 20th the day of the injection immediately after reading my information he was supposed to already have had in April. It was clear to me this was the first time he had seen my information (Notes)from the way he was reading through each one.lf he had my information April (as the email said he did)when l wanted his opinion back then.l would have had time to cancel it.l also recordered conversation with Dr Bendinger.
I made a formal complaint with Mrs Pendragon and they deleted my emails l saved.Which l wouldn't have thought they could do? Mrs Pendragon told me they had done everything correctly which l disagree with.

So now Chrysalis Finance said that they will do their own internal investigation.
