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.

Orthopaedics and rheumatology. Very long process, coordination and planning times that have a negative impact on the patient's condition and the illness. Getting an appointment for a small operation on the leg seems very difficult - even after months there is still no appointment!

In the emergency room there are too many patients, the staff are therefore overwhelmed, the individual is left behind if he does not come to the emergency room with his head under his arm, no one listens to him and in some cases not taken seriously.

Good care, the doctors always make time for the child. It is possible to stay with the child for 24 hours. At night, room in a different wing and at 6 a.m. you have to go and take your things with you, no matter how long you stay. In the ER we felt we were in good hands.
