First off, I need to explain that I have a graduate degree in health care executive administration…read morefrom one of USA's top universities, with about 17 years of experience in the hospital field. so the below review is not coming from someone who is not familiar with hospitals and emergency department operations. I've worked both in emergency ambulance services, as well as the hospital side of things. I'm giving this a 3-star review for lack of a better opinion. I come to HK multiple times a year for business and this time I happened to get sick with a lung infection, and suddenly in the middle of the night I lost my ability to speak and started coughing vehemently. Looked up emergency services and this was one of the closest. It's a huge hospital and the facilities are pretty clean. But the emergency department nurse told me there's a wait time of AT LEAST 8 hours. That's really the longest I've seen someone have to wait. I understand an emergency department needs to triage, and yes, of course there were cases that were more critical than me. But I also expect a public hospital to be staffed well enough to not have patients waiting for over an hour or two. The nurse suggested that I try a private hospital, which I did, not wanting to wait (at least) 8 hours and miss my next day's business meetings. So I took her advise, and waited about 10 minutes at a private hospital close by, got examined for less than 5 minutes from the on-duty physician, and was on my way out of there with medicine in hand (antibiotics, cough medicine, and masks to avoid getting others sick) in under 1hr. I'm sure having a couple additional on-duty physicians to take care of cases that are quick and simple will go a long way to quickly solve this issue.

The next day I was brought back to Switzerland to be operated on my arrival. I do not know the name of this emergency doctor, but I will never forget her professionalism, her kindness and her humanity. She told me that she worked for a few months in London. If anyone knows this woman doctor, thank you for conveying this message and my gratitude :-))))) (April 09-10, 2019 / around 10 pm)

St. Teresa's is a very popular private hospital for both in-patients and out-patients alike; its…read morelocation is certainly convenient and the service they provide has always been nothing but tip top. A personal experience recently has further confirmed this. Delivering a baby is stressful business, being a first time parent further adds to the anxiety with so many questions clouding your mind as to what you are doing right (usually none) and what you are doing wrong (everything). Booking your wife into the hospital is more akin to booking yourself in for an unknown experience; what will happen, when will it happen and how much will it cost- these are all the things that you really don't know. St Teresa's really took concerns off my mind in a couple of ways- staff members were friendly and they were always supportive right from the word go to when I left. At no point in time did I feel that I was left to fend for myself and nurses were always on hand if we needed anything (with the exception on one nurse in the new born viewing room who felt the need to tell everyone off for calling their new born child too often). Doctors (not necessarily associated with the hospital but nonetheless) were also friendly with us and they, having done thousands of deliveries, knew what we were concerned about. The wards were clean and airy and the preparation courses for new parents were all very helpful and informative. This was all further enhanced when the bill came and it was pretty clear how everything came to the amount and all was as expected. I don't know how other hospitals fare but given my only experience so far I would say this is pretty good by my standards. Two things though: Don't park for too long at the hospital- it will cost ya. And don't buy anything from the shop downstairs unless you have to because its a rip-off.

Dr Lam and hospital staff are caring, friendly and wonderful. Good skilled nurses.

I'm a dutchess of a hospital. Whaaaat?? Ok I guess I'll write a review…read more I've been here many times and for different reasons. Good or bad. I'd say it's overall a great hospital. You can tell that they're a very structured organization and everyone working here are well trained. Doctors and nurses are professional and polite. The nurses I have dealt with are so nice I actually wrote them a card to say thank you. The hospital took the past few years to revamp the entire place and I could see them upgrading section by section, and I like this place more and more. I'd like to make a special mention of the food there - the canteen has really good food, with a nice casual setting overlooking the race course. Clay pot rice is really famous but there's a wait for it. Not that I want to come here all the time, but if anyone reading this is concerned about the quality of doc or the place, there's nothing for you to worry about. If you have a good medical insurance, just go for it!
