Important note: We can check patient feedbacks only superficial. They might be not objective.
I am concious of that and wish to read the patients ratings.

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.

I was treated very well and friendly. The hospital seems very personal and, in contrast to other, larger hospitals, very family-like.

Shoulder surgery. Clean operation, good stay and very good aftercare (surgeon: Dr. Andreas Müller)

Partly unfriendly staff, bad food, social worker was extremely incompetent. Absolutely not recommendable. The location for an orthopedic clinic is extremely unfavorable. A smaller bus is available at Äschenplatz. Very inconvenient for users with limited mobility.
