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 best thing about KSGL is the emergency staff. Sensitive and considerate. First-class qualification. Unfortunately, there are increasingly too many executive floors and not enough people actually working.

Broken collarbone - easy operation - quickly discharged. (surgeon: Dr. Walliser)

Cardiology Dr Mutter Incompetent, ignores what has been agreed. What happened in the surgery room is serious body harm. I had to look around for another clinic and had to be operated a third time. Inhumane this doctor. Not recommended.

Pacemaker, slipped after 1st intervention, 2nd intervention went very differently than agreed, pacemaker incorrectly placed and went through hell during surgery because I was denied sleep, the answer was too short; anesthesia was not sufficient; went to other Clinic which is great.

I wanted to have stitches removed from a wound over the weekend because I was in slight pain. They simply turned me away at reception without checking the matter. And, as usual in Glarus, very condescendingly.

In the pediatrician's practice, both my grandson's feet were pricked like a guinea pig when blood was drawn.

Had renal colic and thought I would be helped. But was not helped a great deal. After 2 hours I was able to walk again. Got exactly what I had at home and didn't help. You feel like a malingerer. Not seen anything in x-ray, but without contrast agent

Diagnosis of lung TBC, wrong because the simple test was negative and both the second bacteria breed negative, was not informed about the results and was referred to as alcoholic for 3 days because of a vitamin 12 deficiency, changed blood count, although I rarely drink alcohol . Incompetent, cheeky
