"During my stay at Ward D-3D, Bed 44, I had a very positive experience. The staff were attentive, professional, and caring, ensuring my comfort and well-being throughout my recovery following my liver resection surgery. I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to the entire team for their dedication and hard work. A special acknowledgment goes to Roshani, who went above and beyond in providing exceptional care. Her kindness, attention to detail, and compassionate approach made a significant difference in my experience, helping me feel supported and at ease during my hospital stay. I am truly grateful for the outstanding care I received, and I sincerely thank everyone involved in my treatment."

"I underwent Sinus surgery at Westmead hospital and was impressed by the professionalism and quality of care, in particular ENT surgeons Mim Sritharan and Lietaer Charlotte, 2 large cysts/polyps were removed and immediately afterwards a complete recovery, no pain whatsoever, has to be worlds best ENT surgery, 3 cheers for the hard working staff at Westmead hospital. They need more Doctors to help reduce public hospital waiting lists. The Federal Government should increase Medicare spending to match Australia's growing population as should the State Government in fully funding public hospitals, in particular more help for the mentally ill as the last place they should be is in the emergency department waiting for days to see a Phychriatrst. I have full confidence Westmead hospital can provide the world's best care and has doubled the number of patients seen in the last 30 years, the NSW Government as a matter of priority should fund the public sector in particular Westmead hospital, who provides such a great service to such a large metropolitan area. 10/10 🫡"

"I had a very positive experience at Wastmead hospital. The facilities and amenities were excellent, and my procedure went smoothly. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. I especially appreciated that they followed up with me after I was discharged, and even called again the next day to check on my recovery. This level of care made me feel truly valued and reassured. I am very satisfied with the service I received and would highly recommend this hospital."
