I was sent to Scarborough Hospital after going to Bridlington after a phone consultation with 111. Bridlington Hospital did some tests before sending me to Scarborough Hospital. The Urology team at Scarborough Hospital, from the Doctor to the student nurse were outstanding. The time scales were very quick, and the treatment I received was second to none. Thank You.

Clinical care excellent. Hospital car park full to capacity leading to parking stress ahead of appointment. Not so important but complimentary coffee yuk! Otherwise a good experience.
