My wife was rushed, in an ambulance, to Hospital with Chest Pains... we could've gone go Maroondah (public) but the Ambos thought we'd get better and more urgent medical attention at Knox Private.

The Knox Private Emergency Department care rated 3 /5 at best... they would've scored lower if not for one particular nurse who was fantastic. The other nurses couldn't care less and the doctor on duty was must've spent all of 90 seconds talking about her medical condition... instead he was more focused on persuading us to check-in to the ward for monitoring and an angiogram that same evening. No sooner we signed the paperwork, the angiogram was pushed to the next day and after 8 hours of virtual neglect (no doctor, nurses had no clue what meds were prescribed and administered, etc.), we were told that the angiogram was only going to be a couple of days later... the assumption being that we would be happy to sit in hospital and charge our stay to our Private Medical Cover. The medical care at the Ward gets a 0/5 score, only because we give the a lower score.

Not once did a Cardiologist see the patient, who was rushed to emergency by Ambulance.

Knox Private is a business first and a hospital second. Stay away.
