important information:
We review submitted patient reviews for compliance with our guidelines. The criteria are authenticity, appropriateness and compliance with our privacy policy. Assessments with the label «verified rating» have been confirmed by the patient with a mobile number. This gives you greater trustworthiness.

We do not offset patient ratings entered online with other quality indicators. The patient feedback therefore does not influence the scores or the ranking of the hospitals / clinics on our leaderboards. We present the feedback, which does not violate our guidelines, as we have received it. We kindly ask you to carefully consider to what extent these ratings are important for your choice of hospital.

The operation was great. But I got so much pain on my non-operated leg. It was almost unbearable. I was overwhelmed with painkillers. The result is a drug allergy. Crazy!! I was discharged with severe pain. Next time I won't accept this anymore!

Have already been operated on 3 times in Bülach, 2 times planned (2016 + 2023) 1 time as an emergency (2018). Always excellent care from doctors and staff. I always felt that I was in good hands and competently looked after. Any time again

Until recently, I was a very enthusiastic patient at the Bülach Hospital. But the interim doctor is inhumane and unacceptable. I'm considering changing hospital if I can't talk to the hospital management and find a solution

I was sent home with Neocitran despite advanced bronchitis (continuous shortness of breath). The doctor informed me that the saturation was good and the lungs too. I then turned to a pulmonologist who successfully treated me with cortisone and antibiotics!

Plate fracture after collarbone surgery. There was no response to information about pain. 

About the surgery:
starstarstarstarstar
Surgery after broken collarbone. The implant warped more and more until it finally broke after about 4 months and had to be operated on again (in another clinic) with the use of a pelvic chip. Up to now I have had a lot of pain in my shoulder joint. (surgeon: Dr. T. Ekingen)

Competent, professionally and personally excellent work on D. Niggli's hip operation. Very good care in the hospital and aftercare. Very good organization, competent doctors and friendly nursing staff. Can be highly recommended in my case. 

About the surgery:

My doctor is great, but unfortunately the care on the ward is rather poor. The 40+ nurses are nice and good. The 4 junior ones I had unfortunately not at all. Unfriendly, everyone does the minimum and only what they have to. Unfortunately the food isn't the real thing either. Everything rather uninspiring

Minimal, impersonal care after a stroke. You can tell that staff is being saved at the expense of the patients. Communication between the hospital departments is poor.

Emergency caesarean section. Staff was very unfriendly! Childbed: Poor care (my husband had to take over most of the tasks of the nurses). Our child was born too early, had to go to the noenatology ward. Terrible place! Bad service, foreign people look at you while breastfeeding&pumping. not taken serious 

About the surgery:

Caesarean section. The healing of the scar was good. Surgeon was competent. The Rest was terrible. Inhumane treatment! Mass processing. They even make fun of the patients. NEVER again I go to this hospital!!!

In occupational therapy, treatment times are rarely or not adhered to at all; for example, if the treatment is 30 minutes, only 15 minutes are used for treatment. Even complaining didn't help, answer: that's just the way the system works.

The hospital used to be better, since it became an AG, a lot has changed. I have had more bad than good experiences there, unfortunately. Last time I had an emergency 9 months ago with a slipped disc. When I asked for help, I was told off by a nurse. I avoid this place
