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 taken to the Linth hospital as an emergency and was immediately given competent and comprehensive care. Doctors, nursing staff and domestic staff were extremely friendly, caring and extremely service-oriented from the moment we entered until we left. I can definitely recommend Spital Linth.

Well organized hospital. Modern facilities. Friendly staff. A competent surgeon accompanies the entire treatment. So not always a new doctor. That is very good and fosters trust.

Gynecology already bad under Dr Graf, so made a second attempt after his departure. But the experience was again very bad. Doctor from Germany only wanted to prescribe medication. Examination very short. The bladder infection was not discovered.

Patient autonomy is not respected. Paternalistic decisions are made behind patient’s back.
