St John of God Berwick Hospital

I had a major surgery last week at this excellent hospital, very clean and rooms are lovely and spacious. The food is fantastic and so many options to choose from. The beds are very comfortable also. The drs and nurses are extremely caring and lovely people, the support I have been given is amazing. Really is a fantastic hospital with fantastic staff. I am a nurse myself and feel I'd love to work here also as it is just a wonderful environment.

All the staff from the cleaners, to the food delivery people and the nurses and doctors were just fabulous!Very helpful and accommodating and the food was hot, delicious and plentiful!Not only did I have outstanding care, my family noticed the quality of care as well.Admin and reception were great as well!

The maternity services here are first class. I could not imagine a more professional team of nurses, midwives and doctors. I had my baby through the Joy program and was cared for with expertise by various doctors, but the midwife Kylie was so kind and caring, she really made me look forward to my appointments. Her care extended into my birth stay at the hospital. She is truly a genuine person. Other midwives such as Tan and Brodie were also extremely attentive and helpful with my new baby. They are a testament to quality nursing and I hope St John of God recognises them as pillars of their hospital.

Just wanted to give a 5 star review for the wonderful hospital of St John of God Berwick,my 5 year old had surgery done there 2 days ago and we had the best experience from the time we stepped into the hospital ,from the reception staff,nurses ,doctors ,catering staff,theater staff etc every was just so easy going and friendly and very professional and my daughter felt so comfortable and she was so relaxedshe told me mom this is a nice holiday.Me been a registered nurse myself thought to myself maybe I should join this kind of work environment. Thank you for the lovely staff at st John of God and highly recommend this hospital to everyone.

While rest of the doctors and nurses and mid wives are really nice, the reception team in consulting suits are very rude and racist, specially the old lady in the consultancy room reception.Very bossy and scream at patients. I experienced two incidents of screaming at me by this very same receptionist. Better find suitable staff for the reception. She ruins the very nice environment and the reputation of the hospital.

My waters broke when I was 30+6 so I went to SJOG as that's where I was going to have my baby. I was told I couldn't stay there and had to be transferred to Monash Clayton as SJOG aren't able to care for babies born before 34 weeks. I was only at SJOG for a few hrs before transport could be arranged and today I received a bill for $500! This is after I paid the $1400 pregnancy management fee. They made alot of money from me considering I didn't even end up giving birth there. And to make matters worse, when our son was 34 weeks gestation, Monash Clayton kept trying to get SJOG to accept our son as a patient in their special care nursery so he could be closer to home and they flat out refused to accept him. To say I'm absolutely disgusted with the whole situation is an understatement.

I was at Berwick yesterday for a minor day surgery, all staff from Margaret at reception to all the nurses and theatre staff were amazing. They explained what would happen next and l felt really cared for. I do not remember any other names of staff, but all were professional and just made me feel safe, all were kind and the best hospital experience l have ever had.The cup of tea and sandwiches after my recovery time were absolutely delicious.

Very happy with the medical specialist services that I required, staff were helpful, professional and happy to help if one does know there way around. It is private center so it does cost.

I came in for a gallbladder removal with Dr. Cyril Tsan, which was my first ever surgery, and he, Dr. Frank Hofmann (anaesthetist) and all the nurses (theatre nurses, recovery ward, the ones who checked on me during my overnight stay) all made the procedure and the time in hospital a comfortable, stress-free and positive experience. The nurses who looked after me whilst I was in my room post-surgery were exceptional. They were friendly, supportive, helpful and polite throughout the morning, evening and overnight shifts. They even carried my bag and waited with me whilst I was waiting to get picked up. Thank you so much for everything.The food I was served was terrific. Would've thought I was in a restaurant rather than a hospital.I don't think many people would enjoy spending time in hospital, but if I ever had to go to a hospital, St. John of God Berwick would be my first preference. Thank you for making my experience a positive one, I'm incredibly grateful.
