Back a week now after my mitral valve tissue repair. I cannot praise highly enough everyone at Southampton hospital cardiology unit. They go above and beyond the term ‘care’. All cheerful and happy, even after a 12 hour shift! Even food was good (no full English though ) everything went smoothly and I was in for 10 Days but back home now and walking (slowly) . by the way I checked how much this op would have been privately if I opted to pay- £23000.00! Well done NHS.

I had a mitral valve repair in March. All the tests were done at Southampton General but they sent me to the Spire for the operation. All the care was excellent and I am sticking with SGH even though I live on the Isle of Wight
Hello. Yes, I spoke to the Spire and they offered the op in 2/3 weeks against 3/4 months on the NHS, but the same surgeon, that’s where I got the £23000.00 figure from. Glad you were pleased how it went.
Hi, great to hear all went well and that you are on the road to recovery, albeit slowly. Good luck
Hope you’re recovery continues to go well, my mum was at UHS for three weeks last year and couldn’t fault them Staff were all amazing and looked after us both through some very tricky times
