Balmain Hospital

Thank you to the staff for the excellent care and rehabilitation of my mother after her surgery. We noticed high staff to patient ratio, and very empathetic, caring staff.

Just wanted to share our gratitude and appreciation for the care Balmain Transitional Care Unit provided for my mother Aphrodite. Thank you to all the nurses, doctors, and allied health team for their professionalism, expertise, and support to get our mother home. Special thank you to Dr Eve McClure for her exceptional care! Jessica the OT for her attention to detail. And of course Ai the beautiful Diversional Therapist for her talented skills to brighten up the day for the patients with her enchanting tunes on the piano and her cheerful demeanour. Thank you!

Thankyou to the wonderful nurse’s and doctor at Balmain Hospital who helped me with Covid the day after Boxing day….after ringing untold doctor’s, in Sydney, none would answer..The excellent treatment I received at the hospital before being sent to RPA was so good I only spent a few hours in the Covid Ward. Hope the staff who were working that day get to see the flowers 💐 we sent up today . Thankyou all . Robyn and Stephen Powyer. 11/2/23.

The nurses on level 4, of John Maroney Ward are terriffic, they are so kind and patient and so giving of themselves and i cant believe the stress and sometimes disrespect they put up with from sick patients. i think the staff are fantastic, and very generous peops thankyou Balmain Hospital for getting my mother back to good health and taking such good care of her, the staff goes way and beyond and i cant imagine what we would of done without them. My mum Michelle Paulson. Thanks Guys and Thankyou doctor Ali xxx

When emergency strikes I've taken my children to emergency at Balmain Hospital and have always had the best of treatment. Thank you to all of the staff in Emergency at Balmain. We visited Sunday 14th November for my son who had broken his leg and the staff were so caring and accommodating. We even received a follow up call this week which you don't receive from your GP!

Very friendly, helpful staff and the hospital has bulk billing if you have a Medicare card. I waited less than 5 minutes to see a doctor.

I am in the rehab side of the hospital and am loving the staff from nursing staff right through to the kitchen and cleaning staff. Everyone is making me feel welcome and they can't do enough for me. Yes it is an old hospital but if you want something modern go to a private hospital and pay exorbitant prices. This, to me, has a lot of character and brings back a lot of childhood memories. Thank you Balmain Hospital.

This hospital is a little gem. I had an infected leg and checked in to see a Dr. It took less than 15 minutes and I was checked over by two very helpful nurses. The Dr then had a look at my leg and before I knew it they were treating it. I had follow up visits each day thereafter for penicillin IV and was introduced to different medical staff. They were very professional as one would expect, provided top quality patient care and exceed my expectations. I do hope they never get rid of this hospital as it is a resource of the peninsula area and a hidden gem of a public hospital.

I am forever grateful for this hospital for treating two burnt fingers on my left hand from a cooking accident three years ago. I did all of the right things prior to presenting to the GP casualty ward (like applying an abundance of cold water to my burns) yet they obviously needed medical attention. The triage nurse was fantastic, my ID band goes on and I take my seat in the waiting room area. I was called right away (despite a fair few other patients waiting for treatment), and was ushered into my own room. The care was outstanding, and the doctors' examination was also thorough. My burns were bandaged up nicely, and I healed quite quickly, and was (to my surprise) able to resume work in my business the very next day as if nothing had happened.

The medical gel applied worked wonders. This hospital saved my two burnt fingers from nerves being damaged, and even today these fingers are as good as new, as if no injury had happened at all.

Balmain Hospital is a fantastic public hospital with friendly and professional medical staff. Thank you ever so much.

Balmain is wonderful little hospital. I recently had to make repeated visits and everyone from front office in emergency to doctors and nursing staff could not have treated me better. I was not just a patient, I was a person. They explained to me what was happening, and why. They were patient and re-assuring. A top team.

On Sunday I had an infected wound redressed at the hospital and an appointment at the wound clinic today to have it redressed.. it was pretty minor and I actually had to cancel today’s appointment..
I just received a phone call - at 7.15 pm from Georgia - in the wound clinic to check that all was ok!
I am absolutely blown away! Thankyou Georgia - you are very very special !!!!

Balmain Hospital has once again been a life saver. Thank you to the staff who took such incredible care and concern over the new year period to dress and look after a wound. Thanks particularly to Susan, Lily, Paul and Lynda in emergency for your knowledge and experience.

The doctors and nurses were extremely nice and friendly.

The Dr recommended the best local pubs in my area as I'm new to Sydney and they made me feel a lot better in general about how I got here.

Look out for cars on the road folks.

My Mother was transfered from Concord Hospital to Balmain Hospital after her surgery. They provided excellent geriatric care & did everything possible to help her recover. Thank you to all the staff who worked soo very hard . She is doing alright in the nursing home.
