  My mom fell and broken her arm in Xmas day last year. I took her to the Linmed as it is closest to us. She is 88. Admitting ER doctor , Dr Gentz was very good and helpful and gives enough information so that one knows what is going on. My mom had to be admitted for an op on the arm two days later and being so frail it was difficult to get her in and out of the car at the drop off zone. No porter around to help, I don’t care that it was the festive season there should be someone to help. Lifting a person, deadweight is not easy even if the person is small and thin. A member of the public offered to assist. Subsequent visit a for check ups have all shown that their porter/s(when there are any), are not interested in assisting people at the drop off zone. I haven’t seen any vending machines with water or snacks to buy, when the coffee shop is closed. I think the assistance one gets is dependent on who is on duty in ER at the time. Ward Staff were good with my mom but given the time of year they were short staffed so one has to live with that. Wouldn’t easily go back to this hospital

  Words cannot describe how angry I am by the services and doctors at Linmed. My relative was admitted to the hospital and they she was still fine , they then took her to the "wellness ward" and all of a sudden she was in a terrible condition. They kept putting her under "sleeping injection" to "help" her "sleep" but no one and nothing was helping her . We arrived to a room that stank and no clean sheets and medication that wasn't properly given to her. The nurses are very rude and the doctor doesn't seem to know what he is doing , instead of making the situation better he just tells the nurses to give the patient the sleeping injection whenever she seems aggressive. There has been no improvement whatsoever if anything , she has gotten way worse. For a private hospital, for which we actually pay money for, and a lot if I may add , it is horrendous and something needs to be done! I am extremely disappointed and i advice anyone who needs to go to the hospital for such situations to not even think of Linmed. Also , the wellness ward is for people who are depressed or who have anxiety and other mental issues , but that place is dark and depressing and I feel like it is not an environment to get better.

  Dr Sheik has no respect for the family of loved ones and treats them with disdain and disrespect. You are dealing with your loved one having a stroke and he refuses to tell the next of kin anything. The hospital has no authority over the doctors and they act like bullies.

  Efficient staff. Very friendly with good bedside manners which makes one feel comfortable...but with great dissapointment I now see they charge for parking ...how sad that hospitals succumb to exploiting those in need or medical care

  One Excellent General Ward. Staff Dr and Contractors alike.
