Our son was admitted to Crichton for day surgery. We received excellent care from all members of staff who took time to explain everything to us and kept us well informed and reassured throughout, as well as looking after our son to a very high standard. We felt very well cared for.
I would like to mention Douglas the play specialist as he really was brilliant with our son. He spent time with him pre theatre and then assisted with distraction techniques for cannula insertion and anaesthetic. We were so grateful for this as it kept our son calm and made a stressful situation much easier for us. Douglas really was fantastic - thank you!
Pauline the staff nurse was very kind and caring post operatively and gave us lots of great advice for going home.
We can't thank Mr Munro enough for the excellent surgery and the time he took to explain everything to us and check on our son post operatively.
Overall, we had an excellent experience in Crichton.
