Oaks Private Hospital, Essex
Oaks Hospital is one of Essex's leading private hospitals with
an excellent reputation for delivering high quality private hospital treatments and services.
Located on the outskirts of Colchester, the hospital opened on
this site in 1994 and currently has 57 bedrooms including three
twin-bedded rooms all with en-suite facilities to ensure complete
privacy throughout your stay.
Staff are friendly and professional and respect individual
patient needs at all times. Oaks Hospital has a tradition of
working closely with Consultants and patients to ensure the best
quality healthcare is consistently being delivered.
All Consultants undergo rigourous
vetting procedures, ensuring only those who are qualified and
experienced are granted practising privileges which are reviewed on
a regular basis.
Latest Medical Technology
By investing in the latest advanced medical technology, the
hospital offers a wide range of treatments and services. It
has a suite of four operating theatres, three of
which are fully equipped with laminar flow ventilation,
and a minor ops room provides a safe and effective service for
patients requiring surgical and minimally invasive procedures on a
day care basis. An 11-bay Ambulatory Care Unit is now in
service and is fully equipped to cater for patients
undergoing short surgical procedures where a bedroom or overnight
stay is not required. This facility ensures patients spend a
reduced amount of time at the hospital, where clinically
appropriate, and can return to their normal activities as soon as
possible.

Treatments at the hospital include breast surgery, colorectal
surgery, ENT, gastroenterology, general surgery (including
hernia surgery), gynaecology (including
endometriosis), ophthalmology (including
