Reviews & what patients say
Going Private UK doesn’t publish its own star ratings, but you can check independent, verified sources before booking. Spire Portsmouth has around 90 verified patient reviews on Doctify, and is also reviewable on Google and rated by the CQC. Patient feedback commonly highlights clean, modern facilities, friendly and professional staff, and quick, efficient service — with positive comments across procedures such as carpal tunnel and hand surgery, hip and foot surgery, gynaecology and cardiology. As with any hospital, look for recent reviews relevant to your specific treatment and consultant.
💡 Where to check reviews
For independent ratings, see the CQC inspection report (safety & quality), Doctify and Google (patient experience), and PHIN for published outcomes. Consultant-level reviews matter as much as the hospital’s — see below.
Consultants at Spire Portsmouth
Like all private hospitals, Spire Portsmouth works with consultants who practise there rather than employing them all directly — so choosing the right specialist is often more important than the hospital itself. You can search consultants by specialty on Spire’s own site, or ask the hospital’s team (02392 456 010) to help match you to the right consultant for your condition. When you’re insured, check that both your chosen consultant and the hospital are covered by your policy. For how this works, see how to get a private referral and our guide to guided vs open consultant choice on insurance plans.
Costs & how to pay
Costs are bespoke — depending on the consultant, procedure, tests and length of stay. Spire offers fixed-price self-pay packages for many common procedures, plus finance options, and works with all the main insurers. For typical price ranges by procedure, see our private hospital price list.
💡 Getting an accurate quote
Ask for a written quote covering the consultation, diagnostics, the procedure and any surgeon/anaesthetist fees. If you’re insured, confirm the hospital and consultant are covered and get pre-authorisation first — see how to get a private referral.
