I overall had terrible care (both my parents died/are dying from their horrendous care, and I have been an inpatient myself several times) BUT I would like to write this positive review for one doctor called DR LUQMAAN ALI I was admitted to the hospital On and Off over three weeks concerning a breast abscess/infection but also separately for a mental health crisis. I was fortunate enough to be cared for him on both admissions and as a fellow NHS worker myself (and having worked at Northwick myself), I want to express the gratitude I have for his compassion. I have a newborn and a father on TPN and feel he was the only individual who cared for my predicament in being admitted for a prolonged duration. He is not only compassionate but also medically competent, a great communicator with interpersonal skills. I was met with a horrendous mental health nurse who did not know I was a healthcare professional and he took the time (that he did not have to) to apologise for her attitude but also to formulate a plan in which minimised admission whilst prioritising patient care.

The mental health nurse from the psych liaison team (on the day shift covering 15th February) was the most horrendous person I’ve ever met. I was admitted for the first episode of a mental health crisis, and the way she spoke to me - it was enough to send anyone into psychosis. The only thing that was a saving grace was a doctor who calmed me down after apologising for her attitude (he was even shocked about her rudeness and lack of communication skills). Unbelievable that such a person is the contact for mental health , honestly needs to be reviewed before she ruins more lives.

I have been waiting for allergy patch test for 9 months now. I called them 3 times for update. I talked to 3 different people and I got 3 different answers. I have seen the GP, doctors before, I also had a call with the doctor then I was send to the dermatologist. I was waiting for 2 months for a 10 mins appointment, for someone to say to me: "I don't know what is this, don't know what causes it". She REFERRED me to the Northwick Park Hospital to an allergy patch test (in April 25). They told me it's 6-9 months waiting list. I called for update in June (they stated on the document if they will not contact till June I need to called them, so I did) they told me it's too early, the waiting list is long. I called them October 25, they told me I am still on the waiting list for the test and don't worry, they will contact me when the appointment is available. I called them today Jan. 26, it's been 9 months now and I heard nothing from them. After a long hold the lady told me there is an appointment, I chose one of the options and I wanted to confirm that whether this is the allergy test... and NO! This is a consultation with the dermatologist. I told her they mixed something up as I went through all the consultation process, dermatologist etc. and now I am just waiting for the appointment. She said only the hospital can refer me to the hospital allergy test. What is going on here? So now she is saying I waited 9 months for another 10 minutes appointment to then wait another 9 months for the ACTUAL test? Jokers. This is absolutely unacceptable. I am highly disappointed.

I arrived at Northwick Park A&E dept at 5am, around 6am I had an ECG and blood tests and was advised it would be around 2 hours for the results, eventually moved to the main waiting area where I was called to see a doctor at 9.30, whilst waiting to see the doctor a lovely lady turned up to offer tea and coffee etc to those waiting to be seen, I was eventually seen around 1.30pm and told I would be discharged. Throughout the whole experience the staff were absolutely magnificent, they were polite and patient with some patients who were getting quite irate, I really do not know how they do it, when I was walking back to leave the hospital the waiting area was absolutely rammed with hundreds of people and I knew that all these people were going to be treated with upmost respect that I had received even though the Doctors and Nurses had been working for hours. I just wish to thank all those wonderful people for the care and attention they give to each and every patient that passes through the system, cannot praise you enough. Thank you.

I had my laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Northwick Park Hospital (Day Surgery) on 17/10/25 with Mr Qurashi and his wonderful team. I was the first patient in at 9:00 AM and received exceptional care from start to finish. My surgery was cancelled last week, and although I was very disappointed at the time, today completely changed that. The whole team worked so hard and treated me with such kindness, professionalism, and compassion. All the nurses were outstanding — especially Yuyun, who is truly an angel.

The care I received throughout was outstanding, all the staff in the cardiology day care unit were friendly and polite and kept me well informed throughout the day. They made a stressful experience much easier than it would otherwise have been. I would like to thank each and everyone of them, special mention to Leo and Jacob the 2 nurses who looked after me throughout the day they were exceptional.
