The Southport Private Hospital

My 86yo dad had a stroke, he came into the rehab hospital unable to move and barely spoke. My dad also has dementia and could not communicate well, but they found ways to engage with him and got him to do things himself. Thanks to the incredible team of nurses, physios, OT, speech pathologist and Dr my dad will be leaving nearly like his old self. Everyone was so accommodating, caring and above all happy. Cannot thank them enough for all that they’ve done.

These people save lives: from the psychiatrists u0026 psychologists to the nurses u0026 exercise physiologist. Everyone is extremely kind u0026 genuine. Dr AJ is the best. I love that they're don't focus on a medicated model primarily but provide social, emotional support + education, group therapy, art, exercise u0026 hydrotherapy. They listen u0026 give you the space to be yourself u0026 be heard. Excellent facility. If I could make 1 recommendation, it would be more wholegrains over refined bread/crackers/rice. Anyone who goes for mental health rehab is feeling lousy u0026 the weight of the world. But you learn real skills that serve you for the rest of your life if you're willing to apply yourself to the process.

I went to a psychiatrist and I don't even know if he's good because I paid 550 just for him to tell me to do the weaning, but the receptionist treated me like garbage. She didn't know how to use the card machine, because I pay in debits with the cell phone app, and she wanted my physical card number, I never saw that, so she used the machine and managed to get through. And then she was waiting to reschedule the appointment and you know what she does? She gave me a card with the date and time and didn't ask if I could, I've never seen that in my life. I said but I can't on that day you didn't even ask me if I could, then she was already rude and told me the doctor asked for that day and it's the only time, so I said calm down because she was upset, I'm patient, I have a life out here so you need to ask if I can on the day and at the time you want to make an appointment. Then I said calm down, calm down then she threw it on me saying that she was going to expel me from the office since she was treating me badly. She works in a clinic for people with depression, anxiety and still treats a patient that way? I left the office worse than I entered. Ramsay Clinic.

I was at The Southport Private for 3 weeks receiving TMS treatment for depression. The staff are kind compassionate and extremely helpful. Camille and Kim in the tms room are the best I've never laughed so much in a hospital .My stay was pleasant you have the gym the hydro pool along with group therapy with skilled councillors .Huge thank you Dr Sam kind compassinate Dr always listens .

We are so glad we found you Dr Mancel! Mum was wheeled into your hospital in terrible pain and within weeks she was up and walking again having Physio and in no more pain. Like a miracle! We can’t thank the team enough for looking after mum so well. Mum is back home again swimming and enjoying a better quality of life. Merry Christmas to you all. Love and Appreciation from the Burgesses 🙏

I recently had a bilateral knees replacement at Pindara and was transferred to Southport after 5 days. I have nothing but the highest praise for this wonderful team. With their care and help, I was able to leave after 9 days, fully mobile Nothing was too much trouble. All the staff from janitorial to the doctors were efficient, friendly and genuinely caring. It was like being part of a big family. Their chef is excellent Highly recommended
