    Sadly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a GP in Amsterdam. Getting an appointment is always a hassle due to long waiting times both on the phone and for getting an appointment. My experiences with the doctors haven't been very positive either, their lack of empathy often made me feel like I had to justify myself for taking away their time. I seldomly received helpful medical advice or support for the issues I went in, and often left the praxis knowing exactly as much as I did before I went.

    I was refused care for a severe throat infection at this GP and subsequently had to get surgery at the hospital. The doctor refused to see me when I called the first time and explained my symptoms, I was told to "drink water to clean your throat and take paracetamol". This was not the first time I experienced their incompetence, but it was the most severe. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, they often don't pick up the phone, and your care is only considered urgent if it's "life or death". Never going here again.

    What an absolute JOKE!!! We found this doctor out of desperation to finding any other qualified local doctor so we joined this "tourist factory". The availability of appointments especially when it is urgent basically forced us to go to the emergency room a number of times just to get someone who could support us. What is even more scary is the level of competency of the medical doctors in this facility. While I am in no way a doctor, my wife and I are both from medical families, the fact that doctors at this facility have to use google for their diagnosis is SCARY!!! Stay away from this doctor and office at all costs... I'm not sure what they are doing, but where I come from, this is not medical care.

    Very poorly prepared doctors. I was dismissed once by simply being told they do not know what I have and when I came next time and I told them what I thought my diagnosis was, I was sent home with just a nose spray. Plot twist: I diagnosed myself correctly but I had to get outside of the country to get proper treatment.

    Contrary to many of the reviews here, I've only had good experiences with the doctors at this practice. I've always gotten what I needed in a relatively timely manner.

    Please don't go to Huisartsen oude Turfmarkt. For a start, when I wanted to check in as a new patient, i had to wait for 3 weeks. So i made an appointment. When I showed up they said my registration was not finished yet, so I had to wait for one more week extra.Besides that, the receptionist (all of them) are VERY unfriendly, they don't care about you And the worst...There is always a different doctor, so they don't know anything about you, and in my case I had a doctor who was doing his apprenticeships. So I switched to an other doctor, and now I have to call for three times to pass through my files. They refuse to do so. Please, take care of yourself and do go to these 'doctors'.

    I STRONGLY SUGGEST AVOIDING THIS PLACE. First, this GP searches symptoms ON GOOGLE!!!!!!!!! I can even do that… I am an international student and I went here because of an allergy on my eyelid. I could tell that this was an allergy because this happens to my chest sometimes. My symptoms were just itchy and not painful at all. Every individuals react to allergies differently. I have talked to other allergy docs back in my country, and they said it is an allergy. And here, the one who searches on google Ms. Knowitall? For sure she is right. Seriously… My goal of going to GP was to redirect me to the allergy doc. I have other symptoms such as sneezing and other stuffs. So I wanted to know what causes this reaction. However, she was keep on telling me its not an allergy but it is because of infection due to in-grown hair. What a nonsense? This itchy stuff goes away when I take allergy pills… I just wanted to know to what I have an allergy by going to allergy doctor. And this GP doesn’t let me go to allergy doctor. What if my eye becomes blind? What if this unknown allergy becomes bigger and kill me? Are you willing to take all the responsibility? Guys please don’t visit here. Even if it costs you a little bit of more money, its better to go to other GP.

    Scheduled appointments consistently running late, 30mins+ waiting time and all for a 10min appointment where you’re told to take some paracetamol and drink tea with honey… if you want to discuss 2 topics with the GP, they require you to schedule another appointment for the second topic. Absolute disgrace!

    Worst healthcare provider in the world. The doctors is fine but the assistant is extremely incompetent. I’ve called three times for my prescription and the pharmacy still didn’t get it. Phone call wait time is at least 2hrs. Also every time you go to the front desk you have to wait even tho the assistant is doing absolutely nothing. Never experienced this kind of rudeness and incompetence anywhere else in the world. Even in third world countries is better.

    Avoid this place! With every month that goes by, this practice gets worse and worse. You wait endlessly for a call back and the assistants are even reluctant to give you an appointment. It seems that everyone is quite overwhelmed with their workload. Most of the doctors seem to be too stressed to care and all too often they dont take their time to really give a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment. Do not go here!

    Absolutely trash service, the front desk don’t know how to do simple tasks and it’s frustrating to deal with them.

    Like seriously? I have more medical knowledge than these doctors and I am an engineer. Just save yourself. I had a very severe heartache and I went to this GP they said you are completely healthy. Luckily I went to my country's doctors which they detected that I could have a stroke a few days later. I also went to these doctors for depression with suicidal thoughts, again they did nothing. My Psychiatrist in my own country prescribed medications that helped me, however since these GPs somehow haven't heard about the 5th most prescribed antidepressant, they simply didn't prescribed it for me (I had a prescription from my own country Psychiatrist). Their excuse is that I do not know this medications. I completely understand them because they even didn't know about vitamin b family why we expect them knew about more sophisticated medications. Next time I seriously ask them to name all the medications they know because I assure you I think is less than 5!

    I have been coming here for over a year as an international student. I have been very pleased with the service I've received here, my GP really makes me feel cared for and it's not something I've experienced before! All of the proceedings with the office, scheduling, refilling prescriptions, etc. have also been satisfactory and easy. Overall, I can definitely recommend.

    They never answer my phone call, saying "...that means we can no longer speak to you today". And, even when I try to make an appointment online, it tells me my data is still being processed. I am going to change to other GP. Please do your job.

    My experience with the practice this far has be excellent. Initially I registered in order to get my prescription refilled (after switching GPs). Both the registration process and the refill forms have been very easy to do. I would get my refill confirmation within 24h and the prescription would be ready for pick up within less than 5 days. Excellent! I have also called to make an appointment- the waiting time was less than 1 minute and they had an open slot for tomorrow morning. Everything is very easy to do, the staff seems competent, and I don't have a single bad thing to say about this practice. As an international student it's a great resource.

    1. Absolutely incompetent receptionists who cannot do their only job right: Schedule patient's appointments. If you make an appointment with them, expect to show up and be told your appointment does not exist on the system, and they are only free a week after.

    I called 4 times (at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm on a Tuesday - working day). The phone goes straight to voicemail & says “the practice is closed” even though according to their hours listed online they are supposed to be open. What is going on with this place? Is anybody working at all? Impossible to make an appointment. Shame on whoever is working the front desk, access to healthcare shouldn’t be made this difficult for no reason. Do your job or find someone else who is competent to take simple calls and make appointments. You can’t just shut off the phone line because you don’t want to work. Polar opposite of the famous “Dutch efficiency”. Do better.

    Your website aka the "Patientenportaal" doesn't work. Since half a year. Can you please fix that?! It is not possible to make appointments nor to prolong prescription. Your bad at picking up the phone, make at least sure your website works.

  • 5/5 George O. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    That was okay. Everything was relatively fast and people were polite. However, your appointment with your gp takes only 20 mins or smth. So I couldn’t ask all questions I wanted and I have to make a new appointment. I reckon it’s a Dutch thing which is very common in the NL. I asked my Dutch friends and they say in their experience they have 10 mins for a consultation with a gp or smth

    Awful practice, it can take several weeks to get an appointment even though the appointments last up to 10 minutes and the only thing the doctors have to do is refer you to a specialist because they themselves have no idea what they’re doing.
