Gillies Hospital is a Southern Cross Hospital meaning it is a private hospital. Over the years I’ve been in a few hospitals for the insertion of a chest drain for a spontaneous pneumothorax to a tonsillectomy. I like the Gillies Hospital. The consult rooms with specialists are inviting and the waiting rooms are pleasant. Despite the nature of the practices, children have no issue in attending this hospital. The décor is modern and tidy. The furniture is clean and comfortable and there are tea and coffee making facilities around the consult rooms of the practices. My children had books to read and a play pen to while away the time spent waiting for your appointment. The staff have always been helpful and pleasant. It’s definitely a place I would go back to and would recommend it to anybody. The only differing factor would be the specialist that you see. My sons specialist is a natural with children and really put my son at ease in the lead up to his operation. This ultimately put me and my wife at ease. Most importantly the operation was a success and the condition was treated without any complications. Great work.
