"Treated very well and received great help at Hollins Park Hospital"

About: Hollins Park

Posted by verbal149 (as the patient),

I was in hospital for seven months and came out last October from Hollins Park and wanted to say that I thought the doctors and nurses were brilliant. I got on with them and respected them because they have a difficult job. I went in with a drinking problem and did not want to go in and it was difficult at first with my psychiatrist. He told me straight how things were and he got to know me and treated me, and I thought he was fantastic.

I now feel much better and go to Halton Mind which I find really nice and supportive.

Good to hear that you're enjoying Halton Mind. Thanks for taking the time to let us know that everything went well. It can be hard adjusting to working with a psychiatrist, and it's great to know that you thought he was fantastic in the end. Your comments will be passed back to Hollins Park, as staff like to hear postive feedback like this.
