St. Vincent's Hospital Melbourne

Was very well taken care of by all staff here the entire time. This culture is set very effectively and taken seriously by the nurse unit manager. Full credit for this. Felt I was in incredibly safe hands during my timeki time here. From the nurses, to patient support and meal services. Top marks guys and well deserved I say too!

I was allocated this hospital for a procedure and must say that right from admission to discharge , all was above my expectations.Rosy , my nurse was super attentive and caring and did her job in a professional way. She was an epitome of what a caring nurse should be . Thank you Rosy .Almost all of the staff were so polite, attentive and did their jobs so well in the festive season, and I commend them for it .The food was excellent and I cannot complain. there were choices available. I am not sure why people complain about hospital food.All my surgeons were excellent and answered all my queries and performed my surgery well.Thank you St Vincent's staff

Emergency department.What was that awful chemical smell in the waiting area . Doctors, nurses, patients breath it in while sitting in the waiting area and with the masks there is nowhere for that smell to escape.Not good for asthmatics at all.I had to endure it for a few hours I feel for the workers there having to endure that stench on a daily basis all behind a mask.The triage nurse nearest the emergency rooms was lovely.The nurse who called me in was just as lovely. The young lady at x-ray was also lovely and the nurse taking my BP the same. The doctors congratulations you were amazing. I saw how calm you all were under pressure and you were absolutely amazing.

Excellent nurses and doctors in emergency that were very accommodating and thorough before releasing me. Would highly recommend to anyone. Definitely my best emergency room experience.

Building D Daly Wing specialist clinics, red, blue, green. Access from Victoria Parade down a short laneway. 2022 masks and COVID-19 check-in still required. Very efficient desk staff. Handicapped accessible toilets are gender neutral.

While my surgeon and his team were fantastic and I’d happily give them 5 stars. The after care of the hospital and the facilities were below par for a private hospital. The tv didn’t work in my room. The aircon didn’t work it was like an oven in my room all the time. I was supplied a useless fan which didn’t work. The staff I mainly dealt with were rude and disregarded most things I said to them. It felt like I was loaded up on pain killers and sent out the door asap. Pretty disappointing to be honest.

The worst experience I’ve had till yet. Been there around 3-4 times all during midnights due to chest pain and shortness of breath. Literally, no one assisted (no triage nurses or staff at the front desk most of the time) for the first 30 mins; then kept waiting for my turn after admission for another 1.5 hours. When the doctor came and assessed; didn’t do much and simply ran a test or two. Their final words were ‘you can be assured you won’t die tonight; we can’t figure out the rest. Visit OPD for more info’.Neither the doctors nor the nurses paid much attention. They were completely negligent and the standard of care is in negative.

I am amazed about the professionalism and patience of the staff in this place. They have been very detailed in what I had to go through and what was the cause of my pains. Could never thank enough the doctors and nurses to help me getting out of the situation I was having. They were really good in what they were doing.The only thing that I would point out is that I had to wait 14 hours before an operation. Although I can totally understand it’s not that easy to treat a lot of people at once in the emergency and do all the necessary tests.

I encountered probably a dozen and a half separate individual staff members throughout my overnight stay in short stay. Each member of staff was as thorough, diligent, available and kind as the next.The place is falling apart and it’s cold and nothing worked and every ER waiting room is going to be a mess, but the staff did everything possible to make my time there as pleasant as possible

I just witnessed a bloke be held against his will and taken advantage of because the nurses seemed to think it was best. What they really done in my opinion was heartless and cruel, they belittled the young guy and wouldn’t even let him walk to the rehabilitation center. They called all sorts of codes and twisted the situation to make him seem unstable and violent but all I could hear from the man was worry and uncertainty because no one was letting him do anything. Anyway when I saw the person be escorted from cubicle 3 ( in a wheel chair as it is apparently procedure and the only way someone can be transported as I heard them in there defence to his begging of just to walk over) my heart broke because he was just a young kid which you could see was scared and I have personally witnesssd a patient be walked over with just one security as well as myself. It was disgusting to see him not be taken seriously and made to be taken advantage of especially when nurses took turns to have a giggle then go back to boss him and strip him of his self worth
