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.

Chaotic, A doesn't know what B is doing. Lots of mistakes due to stressful work situation and time pressure when caring. Unnecessary suffering due to lack of teamwork, doctors and caregivers. Discharge without any prescriptions, such as physiotherapy, rehab treatment or similar. All in all, a nightmare!

The cardiological procedure was carried out well. Unfortunately, the night doctor was not able to carry out his medical availability and the associated necessary therapy. The QM is also not ready for an offered discussion. As a result, many texts are just empty phrases...

Catastrophe! You are left to suffer for days, it's chaotic, no doctor knows what the other is doing, you are ignored, doctors are unprofessional and arrogant, one size fits all, no flexibility or individuality. Mistakes happen, but they gloss over it.

Everything is great, I'm delighted. But as a smoker you are a second-class person!!! Why: No possibility to buy cigarettes and the ashtrays are not emptied often enough

There are senior doctors in the cantonal hospital in St. Gallen who give you the feeling that you are not really being taken seriously! - Once examined, examined forever! No attention for more intensive clarification of physical connections!

The treatment was good. However, the KSSG is a large company with constant changes of doctors and staff during the stay.

The night doctor doesn't care about the patient's condition. He only reacts when the situation escalates. What a pity. The rest of the department is good.

Pulmonary vein isolation. According to the cardiologist, the procedure went well. My shoulder was probably handled incorrectly, which is why the pain is getting worse. An orthopedic examination is necessary and planned, but not in SG. The night doctor is not there for the patient....

A shocking lack of competence and care My experience with this institution was nothing short of appalling. I was diagnosed with a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) only by my primary care doctor after the emergency room dismissed my symptoms as "psychological" and sent me home.

Only inexperienced young doctors from abroad, consequently you are treated unprofessionally. The quality has strongly decreased in the last 20 years, you feel like being a number in a German University hospital. Strange doctors.
