    The doctor that saw me has very hostile, she couldn´t spare 2minutes for me to explain why I was there, and she said that in a very unkind way, and made me feel very uneasy. I can understand doctors work with a tight schedule, they can treat people with care, specially when they are in a vulnerable moment (like naked about the me examined..!). I have asked my gp to not refer me back to this place.

    My doctor referred me to this place to do an ultrasound after post menopause bleeding - saying he thought it was a very good place. I have since reported this place to my doctor as the opposite is true. If your doctor refers you here, just refuse and ask to go to the OLVG. There is a women doctor here - Suzanne Vonekn - who in my opinion shouldn't have contact with patients. She has zero empathy and was clearly frustrated at the system and decided to take that out on me. She shouted at me 'It's either cancer or it's not cancer" and said "there is nothing i can do about it." In shock, I got teary. Luckily I knew in that instant not to prolong the contact with this "doctor" who clearly has no idea on how to communicate professionally. Since my visit with this practice, I returned to my doctor (GP) who referred me to the OLVG. My appointment at the OLVG was informed, calm, professional with all the information I needed - restoring my faith in the system. The women's health care centre in buitenverldert needs to be reported as it is a crime that women should be made to feel how Suzanne Vonken made me feel.

    Honestly, reading all the reviews here I was ready to call my doctor and ask for another referral to a different place. I am glad I didn’t. I’ve had to do chest ultrasound and mammogram. Last time I did mammogram I almost fainted. This time I felt dizziness and the lady who was doing it, sensed it right away and helped me to sit down, breath, relax. She talked through the details, never rushed me, brought me some water. Then the doctor came, she brought me coffee and something to eat because she learned I haven’t had a chance to eat before coming there. I felt so much better after taking a break. And we were able to do mammo and then the ultrasound. I feel so grateful to these women who work there and who made the whole experience for me so smooth. Thank you ladies! You just made my day ♥️

    My experiences here have always been positive. I’m always taken seriously and the healthcare professionals are patient and listen carefully to any concerns.

    This review is long over do, so I apologise for me just writing it now. However, I am writing it because I realise it's important for me to write about all the hospital and clinics I have visited in the Netherlands. I have been to this clinic at least twice. The first time I came it was for a mammogram. I was happy with the service. So I would have rated the service 3-4 star, which is why I returned back the second time. However the second time, it was for a pap smear. I was not too happy with the service, it ranked between 1-2 star. I felt the gynaecologist seemed very unconcerned, bored, and unresponsive in my medical visit. I got the impression this young lady pick the wrong profession for her career, because she seemed aloof and detached in performing her job. I am just going to hope that she possibly was experiencing a burn out. I felt as though I was discussing my medical case to the wall instead of the doctor. However, I was at least grateful I was recommended to a different clinic to research my medical issue. When I went to a different clinic in Amsterdam even the gynaecologist was furious with the lazy and incomplete notes she wrote in my referral. I don't see myself coming back here for another pap smear. However, I would consider coming back for just a mammogram.

    Went there for complaints and with an ultrasound from a different center that diagnosed me an ovarian fibroma. Doctor assured me I had nothing and I trusted her, only to find out, 2 years later, I did have an ovarian fibroma, that grew up in those years. Not only has the fibroma to be removed now, but also my ovary or both. When told the Center about this discovery, they played dumb and didn't take any responsibility. The doctor didn't even bother to call me back and care about me as a patient. A waste of time, trust, money and most important health. And it is called Women's Health Care Center...

    (Translated by Google) Not such a best experience. When I wanted to have my spiral removed because we wanted to have a baby, I was first cross-examined whether I am not using drugs. I have never used drugs in my life yet I was looked at doubtfully. Very weird. Removing my spiral was also very painful. While now it was not painful at all with another healthcare provider. Its a shame, but there is nothing to do about it (Original) Niet zo’n beste ervaring. Toen ik mijn spiraal wilde laten verwijderen omdat we wilde proberen een kindje te krijgen, kreeg ik eerst een kruisverhoor of ik geen drugs gebruik. Ik heb nog nooit in mijn leven drugs gebruikt toch werd ik twijfelachtig aangekeken. Heel vreemd. Ook het plaatsen verwijderen van mijn spiraal was zeer pijnlijk. Terwijl het nu bij een andere zorgverlener helemaal niet pijnlijk was. Jammer maar helaas

    I had very bad experience. Not satisfied at all. I would not advise this place. Less then 10 minutes and 273,00 euro. Without check up even!

    I have been to this place 2 times, the first time i never ever had this kind of misunderstanding, the service was really good, so decided to return for second time, and this time i have been calling back and forth about my 3rd time coming to this procedure for check up, and they always tell that they will call back and update me, never received any call, so i called myself 6x already to find out what is really happening, the doctor told me to give me a call the same day, nothing...after 2 weeks- nothing, now it's been almost a month around no one knows anything, so finally after calling the so many times iam stilll waiting and nothing is clear....are you kidding me? 😁

    (Translated by Google) I was on the line for half an hour before I got to speak to someone. They say on the phone that you can also visit their site to make an appointment. If you then want to make an online appointment, the website indicates that you cannot make an online appointment. The lady on the phone was very catty and wanted to end the conversation quickly. Not recommended. They just want to earn money, but they can't really help people. (Original) Ik heb een half uur aan de lijn gezeten voordat ik iemand te spreken kreeg. Aan de telefoon wordt gezegd dat je voor het maken van een afspraak ook op hun site terecht kan. Als je dan vervolgens een online afspraak wilt maken dan geeft de website aan dat je geen online afdpraak kan maken. De dame aan de lijn was heel kattig en wilde het gesprek snel afkappen. Geen aanrader. Ze willen alleen geld verdienen maar mensen echt helpen zit er niet in.

    I was sold a service that was not suitable for me. I had no results, and in fact, I was impacted negatively by the services I received here. The doctor clearly knew this before selling, and still gave me the service. I did not know it was not suitable for me until I did my own research online after I did not achieve any results.

    (Translated by Google) An intake interview costs 192.85 euros. I was there for 30 minutes without any research being done because it was pointless, said Dr. De Boer. I was referred by my doctor because I wanted to know what the possibilities are in treatment methods for pregnancy over 42 years and since the WHC Center specializes in gynecology, I made an appointment. A waste of money because the only thing Dr. De Boer could tell is that I should try in the normal way. If it does not work then I am not fertile and no treatment could help me to increase the chance. I recently received the bill through my health insurance company. The amount is deducted from my deductible. If you want to have a child and you want to know what your options are at a higher age. Then don't make an appointment here! (Original) Een intake gesprek kost 192,85 euro. Ik was er 30 min zonder dat er een onderzoek is gedaan want dat had geen zin zei dr De Boer. Ik was doorverwezen door mijn huisarts omdat ik wilde weten wat de mogelijkheden zijn in behandelmethodes voor zwangerschap boven 42 jaar en aangezien het WHC Center oa gespecialiseerd is in gynaecologie heb ik een afspraak gemaakt. Zonde van mijn geld want het enige wat dr De Boer kon vertellen is dat ik het op de normale manier zou moeten proberen. Als het niet lukt dan ben ik dus niet vruchtbaar en geen enkel behandeling zou me kunnen helpen om de kans te vergroten. Ik kreeg onlangs pas de rekening via mijn zorgverzekeraar toegestuurd. Het bedrag gaat van mijn eigen risico af. Als je een kinderwens heb en je wilt weten wat je mogelijkheden zijn op een hogere leeftijd. Maak dan geen afspraak hier!

  • 1/5 Abrazo O. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The administration is not good. Received a bill of personal information from someone else the first time. Treated twice by male gynacologist with the Mona Lisa treatment. Good results. Unfortunately he no longer works here. The third and final treatment was performed by a female gynecologist who was very curt. She had set the device so high that it really hurt a lot. The recovery time has taken a very long time. And the result of the first two treatments is gone, I only had pain after the third treatment. I'd like to discuss this with the doctor, but all I get is a friendly receptionist who "can't do anything about it," and a grumpy gynecologist who calls when I indicated I couldn't. Very bad. Not recommended! (Original) De administratie is niet best. Kreeg de eerste keer een rekening mee persoonlijke informatie van iemand anders. Twee keer behandeld door mannelijke gynacoloog met de Mona Lisa behandeling. Goede resultaten. Hij werkt hier nu helaas niet meer. De derde en laatste behandeling werd uitgevoerd door een vrouwelijke gynaecoloog die erg kortaf was. Zij had het apparaat zo hoog gezet dat het echt veel pijn deed. De hersteltijd heeft erg lang geduurd. En het resultaat van de eerste twee behandelingen is weg, heb na de derde behandeling alleen maar pijn gehad. Ik wil dit graag met de arts bespreken, maar al wat ik krijg, is een vriendelijke receptioniste die “nergens wat aan kan doen”, en een chagrijnige gynaecoloog die belt op het moment dat ik aangegeven had niet te kunnen. Erg slecht. Geen aanrader!

    TLDR: Avoid this clinic! I was referred here by my huisarts as I had asked to have a check up for a previously diagnosed fibroid. The doctor at the women's health centre examined me and said it was not a fibroid, but a large ovarian cyst and referred me to see an oncologist. What followed were several weeks of anxiety, involving referrals to the cancer hospital and for an MRI, all of which were delayed due to the WHC doctor being sick, and their refusal to allow any other doctor to make appointments on my behalf. I finally got the result of the MRI, only to be told, I have a fibroid! I feel that the last few months were a complete waste of my time, energy (and money), if only the doctor at the WHC had checked my previous record or at least listened to me.

    (Translated by Google) Bad! Doctor would call with results but now waiting more than 2 months. Constantly provide incorrect information and, as already indicated here, their specialty leaves the wishes behind. Unfriendly female doctor too. Very curtly and couldn't tell me what was seen on the ultrasound. (Original) Slecht! Arts zou bellen met uitslagen maar inmiddels meer dan 2 maanden aan het wachten. Geven constant foutieve informatie door en zoals hier ook al was aangegeven hun specialisme laat de wensen over. Onvriendelijke vrouwelijke arts ook. Zeer kortaf en kon mij niet vertellen wat er op de echo te zien was.

    I see all the bad reviews but personally I’ve been already several times to this center over the years and had always had positive experiences, with professional, helpful and friendly female doctors and receptionist.

  • 5/5 Zehra Merve K. 7 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    I am surprised by the negative feedback because I had quite the opposite experience here. My appointment was for the breast ultrasound and mammogram. I was very stressed but the loveliest nurse helped me relax and gave me all the information about the process. She is the best. Also for the ultrasound, the doctor was very calming and informative as well.

    I had a very nice experience with doctor ten Cate. She had to give me news that I would rather not hear, but she handled it very professionally and very humanly. A very nice woman who made me feel taken very seriously.

  • 2/5 Debora L. 1 year ago on Google • 12 reviews
    I give 2 stars to this place just because the second gynaecologist I saw solved me the problem I had. I had for a really long time a vaginal infection which was caused from an actually really common bacteria. First time I have been in this clinic I had a woman who did her job in a superficial way. She didn’t test all the possibile bacteria, just some of them. I complained telling her that I was feeling really bad and she told me that the symptoms I had they were figment of my imagination and that she did everything she could to help me. I came back after a while in order to do a colposcopy and casually I have been assigned to another doctor (dr doekhie). I explained him my problem and he asked me if I had been tested for a specific bacteria and I told him that I was not. So he took again samples to check that and eventually and really luckily I discovered that I had this bacteria and I solved this problem. I am really greatful to have met this doctor but also disappointed that the first one didn’t take me seriously because I was really suffering for this issue. So my feedback is 2 stars.

    Dr . Doekhie is one of the kindest and professional doctor ever encountered. I had previously experience in the same clinic with a dr no longer there, which was very traumatic and very painful. Luckily I am now patient of BMi Doekhie for over 4y.

    Wonderful Centre. Living in a country were #Cervical #Screening campaigns are not an option, this clinic is one of the Best; very professional, very good doctors and information. Since the public health system does not cover anything in this matter, is a good investment.

  • 3/5 Lukui W. 4 years ago on Google
    Everyone in the clinic are so nice and professional. I had a very good experience during the examination. HOWEVER, I have been waiting for a test result for more than 20 days. After calling the clinic several times I only hear excuses that either the doctors are on leave or they will call me back later. This is not reasonable as I need to know about my health condition and their approach is not professional at all on this point.

    I never write reviews but am doing so in the interest of saving someone from a horrible experience. I thought I was just unlucky or that the doctor was having a bad day, but my follow up consult was worst than the first. The doctor was extremely impatient and dismissive of my complaints on both occasions. I see from other reviews that this was not an anomaly.
