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!

After my third visit to this hospital over as many years I can safely say I have never ever in my life had such bad experiences with a hospital. Their staff are rude, unprofessional and not helpful at all. Safe yourself the stress and go to a proper hospital like RPA.

Its absolutely appauling how this hospital treats the elderly. My mum has been through so much suffering a stroke.Now she has to be discharged and its very hard for us to take care of her at home as she needs proffesional hospital care and rhe only other option is to put her in a nursing home.!But we can't afford it and she's absolutely terrified as we are for her safety and health.They don't have a good reputation and she has had 3 strokes!With the possibility of having more there's no way we will risk her dying in a nursing home as they aren't capable of looking after people with those needs and its stressing us out.Its as if everything is being rushed just so they can get the hospital bed!They have given us so much anguish and we will do everything to protect our mother!They don't care about the well being of our mum and of she will.get proper care in a nursing home.Even the social worker will gloss it all over trying to.find excuses and justification for going in there.It doesn't matter what atrocities are committed in those dangerous places.Its like they are working off a script.The only difference is that this isn't a movie.its real life! I would rather die than have her put in that hell-hole!That's how much its affecting me!Their lack of compassion and sympathy regarding the nursing home issue is appauling.They and the health dept have no right imposing such pataking and agony on the families and not taking into account people's circumstances. Our mental health has been affected more than ever!!.And when a family member of the patient is in distress and has a panic attack some hospital admin don't do anything to help.Thats how heartless they are!

Balmain Hospital, Never send a love one there, its a dirty horrible place to be.IF you have no choice keep an close eye on your dear old parents or Family members.The nurses are crule and mean,and abusive So run for your life

After my second visit to this hospital, I can say I have never had such bad experiences with a hospital. Their staff are rude, unprofessional and not helpful at all. Safe yourself from the stress and go to a proper hospital like RPA. At least you know you are waiting in the queue and when the doctor will visit you despite many patients.

My father has been at the hospital for about 2 weeks i must say that the nurses are friendly but unfortunately not enough stuff therefore long waits for someone to come and attend to a patient. The hospital itself I found not very clean and he in fact i had to complain for the lack of higene considering that most patients are elderly and prone to infection. Since writing the above review my father has been admitted again to Balmain Hospital level 5 which I must say has changed a lot its now quite clean the nurses are around more often the service has improved a lot which is very positive for the patients and the visitors we were quite impressed how clean it looks compared to the last time my father was in Hospital thank you for taking notice and making the changes

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!

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.

Nice hospital with lots of restaurants near by. However parking is quite expensive. If you need to go there daily you can book parking from Parkhound or any other app. They offer rental parking private owners. I booked for 10 days. Saved heaps on parking. However, book early. Very limited availability. There is paid Street parking available for 4 hours though. But will cost 15-20 for 4 hrs.

Really terrible experience. Waited over four hours to be seen in there casualty ward. Another couple had been waiting 6 hours. Do not go here unless all other options exhausted.

Went to Balmain Hospital tonight and had the best care from the entrance a lovely woman signed me in the receptionist was kind efficient and organised.The nurses are wonderful warm, and very qualified and gentle.Excellent and thoughtful advice from the Dr who was very caring and has so much knowledge and is a very compassionate person.

terrible how long they make sick people wait to get treated, they don’t tell you when you are in the line and don’t give you updates or reassure you at all, was say waiting for over 3hrs. also they are understaffed and only have one doctor on for a lot of people don’t go here

Great staff and always a pleasant visit, have been here a few times and highly recommend the treatment they offer is 5 stars and the staff are efficient and friendly

2 hours in the waiting room and then an hour sitting by myself in an empty hospital room just for the doc to show up and be zero help whatsoever

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 !!!! Debby

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.

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

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.

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.

Don't go in their walk-in clinic. I got misdiagnosed twice, before getting a half-right diagnosis and not suitable antibiotics. I ended up with a pierced ear drum, a total of six doctor visits (three in Balmain), one month of constant pain, and medical bills over 1300 Dollar (Traveler).

What kind of hospital is closed on bank holidays? This is more a hospice than a hospital, note to anyone reading: there appears to be no A&E here, go to the RPA.

This hospital service is pathetic. Hated the experience. Dissatisfied with service. I recommend you don't go. They make you sit hours to basically give you a Google diagnosis. Pathetic

Don’t know why it’s rated 3.9 because it’s a hospital and it’s nice and good 😊

Don’t waste your time. They told me to go to another emergency department To get a drip. That’s why I went there I was sick… they just sent me elsewhere so sick I’m barely able to walk.

For the times I’ve unfortunately had to attend, the staff were friendly and attentive. Hope to not return anytime soon :)

It is no exaggeration to say the early parenting centre at this place changed our lives. We had a wonderful experience at the Early Parenting Centre at Figtree Private late last year. Special shoutout to the fantastic Mel who was outstandingly caring, supportive and knowledgeable - the support here changed our daughter's sleep habits and therefore changed our lives (no joke!).

I have been to the emergency department multiple times and every time I am discharged with no answer to what is wrong. Not a single test is made, they asked a couple of questions and told to get on my way.

Had to wait 4 hours just to be seen with a cut knee down to the bone, sat there bleeding all over myself until they finally saw me. procedure went smoothly though

No common sense with the staff here. As well as the outdated Covid protocols in late 2022.

Its supposed to be a public hospital i cant even use the toilets provided to the public payed for by my tax, what a ucking joke,

My father currently in Balmain for rehab .Staff are lovely . Nurse Ike is amazing , He is professional , empathetic and friendly .

Waste of a good space .where are all the doctors.l but actually my last experience was good great Dr Nyugen was helpful.Nurses were great.

Went for standard covid test result neg within hrs !

thanks for all stuff

They looked after me today with efficiency and genuine care - I was truly in good hands. What a great crew you have from covid entrance team to reception and the medical team. Well done.

Have been here a couple of times with my boys. The staff and doctors are very caring and do great work.

The staff are very nice and caring, it is well kept. I love the children's art around the hospital. Great service, but you might have to wait a while.
