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.

Endovascular embolization of a complex AV fistula (2 operations). Very good result, risk of bleeding was eliminated and I am free of pulsating noise in my ear. (surgeon: Dr. Jan Gralla)

Very good and nice staff. Lean management leads to a real mess. It starts with the staff clothing and ends with the room supplies. It's actually a shame because the staff is very committed, but there is a lack of coordination. As a patient you feel transparent and alone  (surgeon: Ms. Dr. Dr.Lechleitner)

If you suspect vaccination damage (C-19) and say so, you cannot expect “real” treatment at the Inselspital. On the contrary, there are 1000 excuses for everything. Waiting periods of up to 4 months.

My wife was being treated there and when she was discharged she was still dependent on antibiotic infusions... ordering these antibiotics takes about 8 days, but she was only given 2 doses... how is that supposed to work?

Understaffed. Child had to wait 10 minutes for the nurse to go to the toilet and pooped in bed. Mother and child were left alone in the toilet despite bleeding and diarrhea. Way to bed alone dripping blood and holding IV unaided. Gas after foreskin too hard.

Unnecessary long waiting times for medical examinations, or physicians are otherwise engaged and do not show up at all. Too many drugs after surgery, some of which are even unnecessary. Unfortunately you have to go back there again as you dont have the choice

Poorly organized and bad customer service! Even though my elderly dad had a scheduled appointment, he waited 3 hours for his consultation with the doctor! That’s insane! Same with mom, she waited 90 min in the waiting room to be seen during her pre-scheduled appointment! NOT patient friendly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I came here because of a bad eye. After 4 hours in the waiting area, I was told that my inflammation levels were not increased. After another hour I am now supposed to wait to get something for the infection, although there is no sign of inflammation detectable in the blood. doctor very unsympathetic
