In 1997 a small group of consultant surgeons and anaesthetists came together and purchased the old McIndoe burns unit originally established as a legacy to Sir Archibald McIndoe. They had a vision to create a truly world class private hospital on the well known NHS campus at East Grinstead. After some serious building work was completed and the ward refurbished, the doors opened for business in June 1999.
The philosophy of the McIndoe Surgical Centre Board was to establish a centre of excellence in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Whether patients wanted a breast augmentation, breast reduction, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, facelift or reconstructive surgery following breast cancer, an accident or congenital deformity they could be confident of receiving excellent plastic surgery care delivered by surgeons and not a sales team.
For over a decade the surgeons and support staff have worked hard to achieve and maintain our world class reputation. We continually aim for the highest standards, investing in technology, comfortable surroundings and offering our patients individual care plans to suit their needs. Insured and non-insured patients alike are welcome, and our transparent, all inclusive pricing structure offers affordable peace of mind from the outset.
Because we have chosen to concentrate on specific types of surgery at McIndoe Surgical Centre our patients and their relatives can be confident that our nursing staff are highly skilled in their areas of expertise. In 2008 and 2009 our nursing staff were in the Nursing Top 100 awards, and our hospital achieved first place in patient satisfaction across 58 BMI Hospitals. We were delighted to receive such an acknowledgement and will continue to strive for the number one position.
The hospital is now home to over 20 plastic surgeons which makes McIndoe Surgical Centre one of the largest specialist private plastic surgery hospital's in the world. Fellow colleagues from Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery, Ophthalmology (eye) and Bariatric (weight loss) surgery have joined the team.
If we are to continue our success into the next ten years and beyond we must continue to be at the cutting edge of technology and advancement. So much so, the hospital is expanding with a whole new second floor and additional patient accommodation. This will help us to continue to meet and exceed the needs of our growing patient population.
With so many other providers offering surgery in the market place we want you to feel reassured that we genuinely care about our patients. By choosing McIndoe Surgical Centre you can be confident of the best in surgical care and quality at realistic and competitive prices. We know smart people do their research, and smart people choose McIndoe Surgical Centre.
