I have been in Shoalhaven Hospital 3 times in the past 3 years and I cannot speak highly enough of the nurses, the doctors and the cleaning people plus the wards men. I have heard people complaining of the food, lack of attention etc. In my experience I have found that it is the whingers and folk that are not all that sick who complain the most. My husband is going in for surgery Monday 30th Oct and I have every confidence in the Shoalhaven hospital.

I have attended shoalhaven hospital emergency 4 times in the last 7 months and every time iam met with a group of helpful staff at the counter,i have not had to wait long the triage nurse have been wonderful, the peads nurses have all been very caring and supportive, the ultrasound guy who was called in at one in the morning even had a smile in his face, all staff in the childrens ward are fantastic always made us feel as comfortable as possible in every way they could. Every one i came across were very professional. Even to the point of rememebering myself and son.

The service that was provided at the hospital is outstanding. I recently injured my knee at a soccer game near by and my hospital is 2 hours away. These doctors were professional about the job and was able to help me with my knee problem.

Doctors and nurses were all wonderful during my husband's stay at the hospital. I also would like to find out how I could get in touch with Cristina, a filipino nurse in the hospital. I met her at the church on Sunday night and being from out of town and on my own while my husband was in the hospital, she invited me for dinner at her place. I did not get her last name nor her phone number. I would like to get in touch with her and thank her for her kindness.
