St. Vincent's Hospital Melbourne

The nurses and doctors are genuinely compassionate, caring and professional. They’ve exceeded my expectations. I felt I am in good hands and were attentive to my needs, I don’t even need to ask. Thank you for taking good care of me! Thank you to the Neurosurgery and ENT team, to the Emergency personnel, to the Nurses and staff, my heartfelt gratitude for taking good care of me. I wish that you maintain or exceed the level of service provided. - Cyril

Beautiful, caring and genuine nursing staff who are true professionals in everything they do. This is only my 2nd time staying in public hospitals and I could not fault a single thing. Funnily enough, staying in a private hospital before was the complete opposite!

The food here is very tasty and I couldn't believe how quiet it was in the wards including emergency on Friday and Saturday nights. We are truly blessed to be cared for by such extraordinary people!!

Attended emergency department on Saturday evening which led to overnight stay. From triage, admin, medical, nursing staff and orderlies everyone I encountered was professional, efficient and kind. Couldn’t have been better looked after. Special mention to Nurse Savannah, Nurse Karuna and Doctor Amy. They were exceptional people

I just so liked visiting this hospital with "million dollar " views! ( As a visitor!).Though the staff are so caring.I was fortunate to meet a Pastoral worker who was checking up on the lady I was visiting.I just lift off my hat to all the doctors, nurses,admin ,cleaners etc who help run this hospital.

In my opinion this is a good hospital and great for international students and temporary visa holders. There won’t be any out of pocket cost for them when using specialists or other services if you have private health insurance. I am not sure about admitting to hospital but all other services are great. Thank you all for your services dear staffs.

I thoroughly appreciate all of healthcare workers in St Vincent Hospital with great and wonderful treatment and care. All doctors and nurses were so lovely, nice and wonderful. Lovely people indeed. Their care and treatment are so great and advanced. Thank you so much to neurosurgery, endocrinology, ENT and emergency departments. I had a pituitary adenoma removal surgery from Dr Rana Dhillon. The surgery went successfully without any problems. Special thanks to Dr Rana Dhillon. I sincerely appreciate it. You’re the best neurosurgeon. Thank you so much to endocrinologists who looked after my condition so well until I get discharged. I appreciate to ENT surgeon who worked with Dr Rana during this surgery. Thank you so much for great work and kindness, ENT surgeon. I also would like to express my gratitude to lovely nurses while I was in the hospital. I could recover better and quickly after the surgery as looking after so well from lovely nurse, Annie. You made me so comfortable and looked after me so well when I was in pain and unwell right after the surgery. Thank you so much, Annie. Also thanks a lot to great sense nurse, Susan who let me move to window side even though I didn’t ask to. She recognised that I like looking outside of the window to look at the great views from St Vincent Hospital. You have a great sense of making people feel so good. I could enjoy staying the hospital with the great views. Thank you so much, Susan. (I attached the photos of views from St Vincent Hospital) Good and fun energy nurse, Snow. I could laugh a lot because of you. It was fun even just hearing your voice. Thank you so much for helping me discharge smoothly, Snow. Also thanks a lot to looking after me so well throughout the night, night shift nurses, Steve, Emilee, Sophie. Hope your night shift goes smoothly without any code grey.
I went to emergency department after discharge to check something. All doctors and nurses in emergency department were so lovely and great too. Thanks a lot for checking me so well.
I had an amazing and wonderful care from St Vincent Hospital teams. My parents and I cried several times when we were talking about how grateful to all of your great treatment and sincere care. We thoroughly appreciate you. I left feedback on St Vincent Hospital after discharge but I was going to mention doctors and nurses names but I missed it. So I leave here again. Hope they can get awards or compliments from the St Vincent Hospital. I can’t express enough my gratitude with words to all of you. It was my first experience in the hospital but if I have to come back to hospital, I would like to come St Vincent Hospital again. I highly recommend the St Vincent Hospital teams and Dr Rana Dhillon. Thank you so much for everything. Hope all of you are well. Miss you guys already. Take care. :)

St Vincent’s have been looking after me as an out patient ever since I had major surgery with them 4 years ago. With ALL their different Departments you could “not” meet a nicer and more compassionate staff. I cannot speak too highly of them.😇😇😇

Security at here are fantastic guys ;
Andrew is a true gentleman and I would also encourage you to have a crack at Victoria Police and or Federal Police what they have to offer you, that are looking for people of your calibre, age is no longer a barrier to recruitment, and in fact they have now lifted the age from 18 to 26 to hire more mature aged and life experienced people there are heaps of other guys here are brilliant at handling extremely difficult circumstances Dennis is also a champion in the way he treats people!
G_D BLESS !
Anyway thanks security and I would hire you in a heartbeat! Warm regards, Mark Wow !

Yesterday, l was admitted to St Vincent’s public day surgery unit. The possibility of staying overnight, post surgery l was able to be discharged without staying overnight. The staff, including office, nursing staff and doctors were kind, caring and professional. I could not fault any aspect of my care. Also thank you to security who walked me to the appropriate entrance.

Mum went in by abmo the staff both ambo and st vinnies are amazing. You are a credit to your profession. Thank you for all you do and some. And the long hours you all deserve the support both public and government.

Drilled into my finger at work and needed to go to the ER. Patient drop off area was easy to access. ER triage put me through quickly, the staff were attentive, highly professional and patient.
Needed to stay overnight for surgery.
Bed 7 East 15:2 was comfy with a nice window view of city lights. The nurse on duty, Angela did a great job communicating to the patients and making everyone feel comfortable and looked after. The patient in the bed next to me was in a pretty bad way and seemed overwhelmed at first but became noticeably calmer and at ease with the caring attention from Angela, Ella the other nurses. Snacks were surprisingly tasty. I recommend the shortbread. Thank you to all of our wonderful public health professionals. We are truly lucky to have you.

I had to go in for day surgery 's recently and cannot praise the staff nurses and specialist enough wonderful care thankyou so much for making a difficult time so much easier.

What a great experience I had at SVHM. Staff were amazing, caring and friendly and would Go out of their way to help you. Thanks to the staff and carers here.

My brother was only at St Vincent's for a short time in the emergency department, but in that short time the attention and care that was shown by the nurses and doctors here was outstanding. A big thank you to all.

My mum was warded unexpectedly after a fall. The nurses and doctors are really nice especially learning that we were on holidays in Melbourne. Thank you the team working on 18 Oct 23 night.

I checked myself into the ED department in the early morning hours and was helped by wonderful staff: I found every interaction to be courteous, respectful and humane. Admission staff, doctors and nurses were great and put my mind at ease - I also had to see to the ED of the Ear and Eye where I had similar experience . I got the advice and care I needed to both address the issue and make me feel looked after.

I feel thankful we have a public health system that allows that. Our health system deserves more funding and support, but I just wanted to shout out the wonderful staff of St.V's in this instance.

Beautiful staff, the nurses are absolute superstars, in particular the ladies in the transit zone and the gastro unit. I was so anxious for an emergency surgery but everyone was so so lovely and comforting.

Many thanks to all staff, from front office, through theatre and the wards, for the outstanding care you gave my daughter during stay for emergency surgery. My endless interstate phone inquiries were always met with the perfect level of clinical efficiency, kindness and clarity. Thank you. Deb Felton

The experience for my Mum here has been great, all of the staff have been very helpful and Sophie has been very nice to my Mum and our family.

Had a lithotripsy appointment at Vincent’s and I have to say the whole day team made it such a pleasant experience. From the admissions team, to the anaesthetic team, urology team, recovery team and discharge team, I felt very looked after and comfortable the whole procedure. Special shout out to the recovery nurses Jess, Van and Colleen for being so attentive and caring.
