The hospital maintains a high standard of cleanliness. The staff is both knowledgeable and friendly. Wait times and service are quite reasonable. Prices are fair when compared to other hospitals. Phone inquiries are handled quickly and courteously.

Avoid St. Joseph Hospital at all costs! I went there with intense ear pain and specifically requested an ENT specialist when I booked my appointment. They confirmed my appointment with prepayment and made it clear I needed to arrive on time. I got there early, but was told I must pay the full fee before even seeing the doctor, Dr. Premalal De Mel. After that, I was told to wait because the doctor would arrive “soon.” I asked about the wait after 20 minutes and received the same response. Ultimately, I waited over an hour. It’s frustrating that patients are expected to be punctual while the doctor doesn’t follow the same rule. When I finally got to see him, I tried to discuss my symptoms—ear pain, pressure, possible infection, and concerns about flying soon. However, I was interrupted repeatedly and struggled to express myself. My questions were largely disregarded. The examination was very brief—just a quick flashlight check—and despite that, I was prescribed several medications right away. I ended up paying 7000 LKR for this service—without clear answers, a thorough examination, or my concerns being adequately addressed. Eventually, I sought a second opinion. I only got to do this after I expressed to a nurse that I felt dismissed and had been given medication without a proper evaluation. After mentioning that my father is a doctor and detailing what needed to be looked at, I was finally allowed to see another physician. There, my ear was examined correctly, and it turned out to be inflamed, which I had been trying to clarify from the start. This experience felt more like being overcharged than receiving the actual care I needed.
