I value private hospitals because...

What people are saying

    I attended the Sydney Adventist Hospital at Wahroonga beginning of last year, I was very sick, and had 3 operations. I have experienced private and public, and definitely highly recommend the SAN at Wahroonga, the staff care. I loved the peaceful bush setting the lovely caring staff and relaxing environment.

    At 41 discovering I was pregnant for the first time I visited my obstetrician who asked what hospital I had chosen. I thought you made that decision when labour started... like in the movies! My ignorance meant my options were limited but North Shore Private Hospital made the experience memorable!
  • Joanne*
    Going in for a tubal ligation reversal fourteen years after having my last child was a bit daunting.The staff and medical team that looked after me were very helpful and understanding with all my needs.The operation was successful as I now have a healthy baby boy.

    Six weeks in Private Hospital was a very stressful time due to the nature of my condition, but I received great comfort knowing I was receiving excellent care in a very comfortable room. If I'd been in a public hospital my stress levels would've increased and my condition worsened.
  • Tiffany*
    When I was pregnant with my first child I was in an immense amount of pain so I was told I needed a scan to rule out eptopic pregnancy and the only place that could ease my worries straight away was St John of God's ultrasound unit.
  • Kira*
    Different customer service than public hospitals - polite, friendly, organised, more trained. When I was sick, a private hospital took me in when there was no beds available in a public hospital.
  • Sarah*
    When I had to have a lump removed from my skull I was able to get into the hospital straight away and I had a private room and the service was great. I don't know where I would have been without the private hospital!
  • Toni-Marie*
    Being a private patient I was able to quickly receive my operation, having such a short wait prevented me from the stress of an upcoming operation.
  • Anthony*
    Well a few years ago my young nephew was found to have an anurism, he had a 50% chance of surviving the operation, thanks to a private hospital in Sydney we still have a nephew alive and well.
  • Keith*
    Thank God for private hospitals. After a high school swimming carnival I was rushed to a Private Hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Checked in, whipped out and back to school to finish my HSC in 2 weeks.
