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.

After extensive examinations, Dr. T. Feuerstein claims that my lumbar spine stiffened on its own. Second opinion showed that Dr. Feuerstein definitely just didn't feel like operating on me and nothing stiffened on its own. Never again KSW

Our mother (aged 94 years) was brought to KSW 2 days ago as an emergency with a femoral neck fracture. Until now (47 hours!) she has had to wait for her surgery after countless postponements, although according to the recommendations an surgery must be carried out as soon as possible.

Very good medical care. Competent specialist staff. General department accommodation in 4-bed rooms = catastrophic. Big disruptive factor, sometimes with seriously ill patients in the same room. After the new building opened (?) Two-bed rooms) Nursing staff very different.

If I have to wait more than 1 month for an urgent problem, then that's an impertinence. And in no way a service! And if I have an MPA in the secretariat who doesn't even speak German properly... thanks a lot too! I went to the Lindberg and was treated within two days.

Since the cataract surgery, I can't see anything in either eye. The doctors at the eye clinic have absolutely no interest in finding the cause or investigating further. You are treated like a piece of merchandise that nobody needs. Just bad for older people.

Quite a good hospital... The atmosphere is often hectic, as it is in many large hospitals... The birth section is also very good although a modernization of rooms or buildings is desirable, and will be done in the near future.
