The hospital's discriminatory treatment has been deeply disappointing. Despite having international insurance for my husband, we reassured them that we were willing to cover the expenses ourselves before seeking reimbursement. However, even after a week of treatment, we have yet to receive the bills. Our attempts to reach out via phone have been met with frustratingly long wait times and no response. Our situation took an even more distressing turn when we arrived for another appointment the following week. We were stopped at the reception desk and informed that we couldn't proceed due to unpaid bills. The receptionist not only emphasized our lack of Dutch insurance but also highlighted the outstanding bill. I explained that we were ready to settle the bill immediately, but we hadn't received any invoices. Despite our willingness to pay on the spot, the receptionist insisted on contacting the financial department first. This led to a prolonged wait, during which my husband, with his injured leg, had to stand uncomfortably. In an attempt to salvage the situation, I mentioned that we would be late for our appointment due to the extended wait. Unexpectedly, the receptionist began to yell at me. To add insult to injury, she handed over a form indicating that we were incapable of paying the bills. This experience left us feeling as though we were being denied medical care simply because we held international insurance. It's disheartening that a hospital in the 21st century would resort to such an unprofessional and discriminatory approach. The lack of communication, the unnecessary delays, and the harsh treatment we received have left us deeply dissatisfied with the level of care we expected and deserved.

I came to the GP clinic at 4.30pm, and was told by the receptionist (middle aged, blonde lady, wears spectacle) that the clinic was closed even though the clinic official closing time is 5pm. She said to me “why do you have to come at 4.30pm?”, as I quote. She told us to go to the A&E, and A&E redirected us back to the GP clinic. She was surprised that we came back to the clinic and said “ I don’t understand why are you even back here”. When we told her that A&E redirected us to the clinic, she kept quiet. When I was tearing up due to a pain from an infection and asked her where else can I find a doctor, she mentioned to me “I am very busy right now’. She was sitting on her desk, doing administrative work the whole time. When I wanted to wait in the clinic for the evening shift of emergency GP, she told me to not linger near the clinic for too long as a lot of people will be coming in and out of the clinic. I just wanted to sit on a chair, as I was in pain and panicking. There were less than 10 people who came in and out of the clinic. Isn’t healthcare a basic right to every individual? Or is ending work on time at 5pm more important than helping a desperate patient in a hospital?

(Translated by Google) The quality of the care is good. Only you feel like a number (very impersonal experience with specialists). The feeling that you have to go after everything yourself and ask. (Original) Kwaliteit van de zorg is goed. Alleen je voelt je wel als een nummertje (heel onpersoonlijk ervaring met specialisten). Het gevoel dat je zelf alles achteraan moet gaan en vragen.

A large complex consisting of emergency and non emergency doctors offices, orthopedic, surgeons and even dentist. Easily accessible by tram, bus or bike - even car. I'd suggest the bus since it's so easy in Amsterdam zuid. A bit daunting and confusing finding where you need to go so get there early. Even earlier if you don't spreekt Nederlands.

My experience as a patient is that the employees aren’t listening to the patient. I need medicine for the disease i am suffering from. Its been 5 months!!! and the employees keep making further appointments without any action. Very disappointing.

(Translated by Google) Good hospital, just a pity that they do not comply with the law! Adult women with niqab walk completely covered in the children's ward with their husbands and children. (Original) Goed ziekenhuis, alleen zeer jammer dat ze zich niet aan de wet houden! Er lopen volwassen vrouwen met niqaab volledig bedekt over de kinderafdeling met hun man en kinderen.

It is that I can’t give even less stars because the health care for trans people is practically medical neglect. Having a waiting list 2,5 years for simply an intake is horrific. Then also the way the staff treats their patients is ridiculous, deadnaming them, mocking them for being different and asking extremely intrusive questions. Would definitely go to a different hospital if I had the opportunity to.

I myself have been to stomach department (maag afdeling). For 5 months they were not able to diagnose what was wrong with me. In that time I lost 15 kg and I’m a thin girl. They didn’t have a small idea what was happening to me and I believe they didn’t also see my case serious enough for their precious time. I took the copy of my test results and sent to a doctor in another country. In 1 day I was diagnosed. (So apparently it was a serious thing that could be solved with a small medication) I was given medication and my problem was solved. I’m healthy again. Worse happened to my Dutch partner, he has been to two departments for his problems. Once he was throwing up liters of blood, they tried to send him back home. Since we objected against going home, they accepted to give him endoscopy. He had a f* hole in his stomach. If we hadn’t objected and if I had not demanded for him to get an endoscopy immediately, they would have sent my partner back home and he would have been bleeding to death! It’s unbelievable that they call themselves doctors here!!! medical knowledge is very poor. It makes you feel so unsafe!

I've only ever written a review about one other place which was a Chinese restaurant that had a mouse in our noodles. This experience was easily worse as I was on hold for 30 minutes total until I reached the line needed. Whilst obviously in pain the nurse was making poor jokes and couldn't help me regardless of the line being what I needed. This experience was worse than the ear infection itself.

I would like to share my disappointing experience with the Amsterdam VUmc hospital. My grandad was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor, and we sought their assistance for his treatment. We expressed our urgent need for treatment, but they insisted on taking their time to research the tumor further. As each day passed, my grandad's condition deteriorated significantly. He experienced difficulties in walking, and his ability to speak diminished. Frustrated by the lack of progress and deteriorating health of my grandad, we decided to explore other options. We reached out to international doctors and shared the MRI scans with them. To our surprise, they all confirmed that the operation to remove the tumor was not only possible but also not dangerous. Motivated by the hope provided by the international doctors, we contacted Utrecht UMC, another hospital in the Netherlands. They promptly reviewed my grandad's case and agreed to proceed with the operation without delay. Their willingness to take immediate action gave us much-needed reassurance. Last week, the operation at Utrecht UMC was performed successfully. Today, we are witnessing my grandad's remarkable recovery. His condition has improved significantly, and we are filled with hope and gratitude for the care provided by Utrecht UMC. While I am grateful for the successful outcome at Utrecht UMC, I cannot overlook the disappointing experience we had at Amsterdam VUmc. The delays and lack of urgency in addressing my grandad's condition had a detrimental impact on his health. I hope that my review will raise awareness and encourage improvements in the care provided by Amsterdam VUmc.

When I think of the healthcare in Amsterdam regarding certain health departments, it makes my stomach literally turn. The lack of professionalism, knowledge and care is revolting here. When I came here it was truly disappointing expereince. I was astonished to see how unsympathetic, incompetent, inadequate and bias these doctors were. If you truly care about your health, then I would suggest to find other options.

Nobody ever visits a hospital for fun. At least not in my case. After 6 months I've become a regular at the VUMC due to the illness of my father. But I want to give a shout out to Tarun, the security guard. A most kind, friendly and helpful member of staff. He has gone out of his way to help me when my mother was distraught with my father's operation and on numerous occasions be most helpful and kind. I've also seen helping others. Always with a friendly smile. Thank you Tarun! PS: I'd also like to extend my compliments to the volunteers who tirelessly and patiently assist visitors to the hospital. Such great people. Thank you!

(Translated by Google) I will explain my response later, really make a complaint, or healthcare support is of no use, as everyone here gets an answer to the bad reviews. Doctors are so well protected, nothing is done with it. I am glad that I am being treated in another hospital. (Original) Ik zal mijn reactie later toelichten, echt een klacht indienen, of zorgsupport heeft geen enkele nut, zoals iedereen hier als antwoord krijgt op de slechte recencies. Artsen zijn zo goed beschermd, word toch niks mee gedaan. Ben blij dat ik nu in een ander ziekenhuis behandeld wordt.

(Translated by Google) Come here for a second opinion and they have done nothing but look at the pictures already taken (by a young unfriendly student) I can't get out of bed because of the pain and tell them there's nothing wrong Because of this hospital I can no longer go with my pain I really like how you are treated here (Original) Hier gekomen voor een second opinion en ze hebben niets anders gedaan dan de foto’s te bekijken die er al gemaakt zijn ( door een jonge onvriendelijke student ) Ik kan mn bed niet uitkomen door de pijn en hun zeggen dat er niets aan de hand is Door dit ziekenhuis kan ik geen kant meer op met mn pijn Ik echt heel erg hoe je hier word behandeld

I really don't want to complain, but I really can't stand your inaction and hypocritical humanitarianism! I really regret that my sister has become a Dutch citizen. If not, she can go back to China and get timely treatment. Although we need to pay for it, she will not be delayed, will not wait forever… When my sister discovered stomach cancer in your hospital, there were only two small spots. You decided to have chemotherapy before surgery. The chemotherapy took more than two months. Even if you had follow-up examinations during the period, there was no way to know that the chemotherapy did not work. We keep asking you “why don't surgery first?!” Then let us Waiting for the hospital bed, waiting, keep waiting... and the operation, and you told us that it was very successful! one month later, CT said nothing. one more week, unable to eat and vomit, you said spread you let her go home... Vomit all time at home Delay all the way, misjudgment, and then give up... She is only 46 years old!

(Translated by Google) Very bad experience with this hospital. Patient safety is not a priority here. Had emergency surgery and called the clinic, doctor would call back in a few days. I couldn't call earlier, with the risk that I would have to go to the emergency room for the third time if I was in a lot of pain. Doctor called wrong number. (Original) Zeer slechte ervaring met dit ziekenhuis. Patiëntveiligheid is hier geen prioriteit. Spoedoperatie gehad en gebeld naar de poli, arts zou terugbellen over een paar dagen. Eerder bellen kon niet, met het risico dat ik bij veel pijn voor de 3e keer naar de SEH zou moeten gaan. Arts heeft gebeld naar verkeerd nummer.

Terrible place. Completely disorganized. One department has no idea what the other is doing. Conflicting info on the website. Commitments made by one person are ignored by others, and no responsibility taken. I have 6 months of delay in my treatment due to complete disinterest and incompetence.

3 times experienced this place and 3 times waiting more than 3 hours for nothing. Really slow personal... something needs to be done! Hiring more people or more qualified !!

PLEASE learn not to miss the vein when taking a blood test! Both times an extremely painful and bruisful experience. Never had this sort of awful blood test experiences at home in France. You deal with human beings and they have a misfortune to feel the pain, learn how to do your job. PLEASE take into account that a woman, even if she is in a situation of illness and despair might not be happy to show her genitals to the interns while having an ultra sound. A little sheet to cover her must not be that expensive.

I have been waited for over a year for them to send me the invoice (which I really need in order to claim the cost to my insurance company)..... Tried to contact them via phone and e-mail but never really worked, horrible system!!!!!

(Translated by Google) Too long waiting time unfortunately (Original) Te lange wachttijd helaas

(Translated by Google) Bad communication, high costs afterwards (+6 months) and you are simply not being helped properly. (Original) Slechte communicatie, hoge kosten achteraf (+6 maanden) en je wordt gewoon niet goed geholpen.

If you are brought here or leave from here with an ambulance, and you are either unconscious, not well, suffer from amnesia, or are in any other way not able to watch what is going on, and your personal belongings disappear, they don't care, and there is nothing you can do about it. So if nurses and others know that, they can just take anything from you. It's happening today, in the Netherlands, one of the most wealthy countries in the world. What a shame!

Long waiting lists, poor care, doctors who don't care, unanswered phone calls and referrals that never get sent. Just a mess of a hospital and I'll be glad if I never have to deal with them again.

Don’t bother with getting help here, was told to wait 3 weeks before they decided if I need medication! Had to leave the country to get professional medical help!

Well the do a good job here so what is there to say, only would say watch out with water, parking lot structures tend to not like that to much, just a tip

I went through the emergency door needing urgent care, and in 3 days I left the hospital in good health. I had a badly infected hand, and the emergency hotline had sent me to a different hospital at first, where the GP sent me home without even cleaning my wounds. Next day, when my hand was swollen to the size of 2 hands, I was sent to VUmc instead. Within 15 minutes the surgeon was contacted, within 1 hour I had had local anesthesia to clean the wounds deeply, and within another hour I was in the acute trauma ward receiving IV antibiotics and good care. During my 3-day stay there I was always treated in accordance with the severity of my situation: very close attention in the first 24 hours, then at a more leisurely (but still considerate) pace the next 2 days as the swelling started going down fast and the pain subsided. I thank every doctor, nurse and other staff at VUmc for the care provided and for giving me confidence in their competency at every step.

A bit outdated but otherwise ok

They say registration should be done 30min before the appointment, but then the appointment itself got delayed by 30min more. No respect of time or consideration for patients.

Interns: you work for free and "they do not publish master's students" even if you do all the work. 2 publications and no credit for me... try the NKI or Sanquin instead.

(Translated by Google) Very bad that a taxi that is urgently sent by the pharmacy at the emergency post is apparently sent by a new security guard, should a medicine be allowed to arrive at a patient as a result of this action of the relevant security, then that is the responsibility of the latter. The service pharmacy does not just order a taxi to do this urgently. In any case, it would be highly desirable for VUMc to do something about affordable parking policy for visits to the hospital. After all, you won't get there for fun. Nine out of ten times, there is no place on the upper deck to stand even for the weekend! (Original) Zeer slecht dat een taxi welke met spoed door de dienstapotheek bij de spoedpost wordt weggestuurd door kennelijk een nieuwe beveiliger, mocht in de toekomst een medicijn door deze actie van betreffende beveiliging te laat komen bij een patient, dan is dat de verantwoording van laatsgenoemde. De dienstapotheek besteld niet zomaar een taxi om dit met spoed af te doen. Sowieso zou het zeer wenselijk zijn een dat het VUMc iets doet aan betaalbaar parkeerbeleid voor bezoek aan het ziekenhuis. Je komt er immers niet voor je lol. Negen van de tien keer is er ook op het bovendek geen plaats om even te staan, ook in het weekend niet!

(Translated by Google) Were visiting. Were treated well and very friendly! (Original) Waren op bezoek. Werden goed en zeer vriendelijk behandeld!

I call to make appointment. It takes very long time for them to answer the phone. When the phone is connected, the receptionist is so RUDE. Then I understand why some reviews here mentioned about the rudeness in this place. Awful service! If I have other choices, I will go to other hospital

Nicest, Compassionate people I ever met. They helped my Best Friend/ Uncle when he had a unfortunate occurrence happen to him they were Efficient, Prompt and Compassionate and out of pocket amazingly affordable. Thank you

I think this is the nicest hospital. Thinking doctors. Small scale. A cozy restaurant. And lab results available quickly. Works together with Amsterdam UMC location AMC and Flevo Hospital. Research, loving staff and ultra-modern, clean, organized operating room.

Outpatient clinic and hospital are two separate buildings. The staff has a patient-friendly attitude. It is a university center and collaborates with the Amsterdam UMC.

For the first time in my life I go to a hospital and then he tells me we can't do anything for you. I have ear pain, then he tells me your hearing is good and we can do nothing. I also went because there was a scratch in the eye that weakened my vision, and then I was told that we could not do anything

Just got a bill from insurance for “services” at this clinic. EUR 259 for waiting in the room for 2 hours to get help right after the accident. Nice job 👍🏻

My Brother had a heart attack a few days ago at the Airport. Luckily, in line to get on the plane...two french doctors in line also to get on the plane were there to take immediate action. His heart stopped. The paramedics at the airport there in seconds to give CPR. Basically he was dead.. and worried about brain damage due to lack of oxygen. Revived...Taken to the Hospital straight into the operating room to put stent in a burst heart blood vessel. Used a new technique to lower body temperature to ease the brain damage. Couple days after defrosted him. Hence, some short term memory loss but few more days later getting better. His full long term memory returning. This is a world class Cardiac hospital. Thanks all the doctors nurses and staff. The two french doctors and the Airport Staff and paramedics.. he is still there at the moment in observation. Update 3 Nov 2020 After recovery, a few days, UBUR’d his way to london then LA his kids and sister. Back to his home in old movie star house off Sunset Boulevard. The Doctors put a pacemaker shock buster pack in his chest. Any kind of heart failure. Boom Automatic Cardiac Charge. Anyway, with a lease of life, Celebrating 2+ years old since being revived by the Doctors.....Lives well, Rides Motorbike into the California Sunset. Wife and family all good. Covid Safe. Thanks for taking the time to read and the credit is FOR the Doctors Nurses , the Airport passenger doctors and Everyone at this Great Hospital UMC. Five Star.

I ended up here on my flight back to the U.S from Sweden. I had a terrible trip, my luggage and meds were lost and during my layover at AMS I ended up in a terrible sickle cell crisis. I went to the clinic in the airport and after they discovered my hemoglobin being at a 4.6 they decided to transfer me to the hospital. Normally you’re supposed to pay for the visit in the airport clinic but no only did they not charge me, they gave me pain medication and my blood thinner for free. I can’t remember the names of the two ladies who treated me but they were sweet as pie. So were the ambulance drivers. As an American with this disease we constantly have to fight to be believed about our pain, they treat us like drug addicts, say horrible things about us ect. When I tell you it was a complete 180 in the Netherlands. The doctors were so compassionate and understanding it was almost unbelievable. First of all the E.R looked like a fancy hotel lobby! I kid you not. They started me on a PCA in the emergency room which is almost unheard of in America. They made sure I was comfortable and even gave me push blouses in between my PCA pump which had a lockout time of only 5 minutes. In the states you’re lucky if you get every 15 minutes. I can’t remember all the names of the nurses but Kristen who was this tall beautiful nurse who had me most of the time while I was there was the sweetest person ever!! I absolutely loved her and this guy (I can’t remember his name but he was amazing & cute too)! Lol. ;) Anyway thank you to everyone at VU for treating this American girl who ended up in a very unfortunate situation like royalty!

The doctors do not show any patience with the patient. Someone coming from a blood test phobia, cannot imagine being pushed to take a blood test so roughly and insensitively! The doctor had shown no understanding towards my fear of blood test infact, all I could sense was doctor’s frustration when I explained them by fear of needles

They tend to mistreat international patients and sometimes make it really difficult to see an especialist, they just send you off home with some ibuprofen

I trust my life to the dedicated people who work here, they all go the extra mile. I come from the Caribbean and am lucky nuff to get my treatment here, if not I don't what will happened. Please keep doing this amazing job .. 🙏🏽💯‼️ I need 2 more surgeries and tho the risks are high .. I sure I come out on the otherside new brand .. I am a lucky man very lucky ❤ .. my treating team of specialists are the most selfless wholehearted people 🙏🏽

My wife gave birth at this hospital. The doctor delivering the baby was arrogant and confrontational. The staff take a truly Calvinist attitude to pain relief during child birth. The hospital does not warn foreigners about their policy on epidural pain relief and misleads patients. The hospital only cares about what they can invoice to foreign insurance companies and does not about care standards or about patient well being. They flagrantly misrepresented how they work. My advice to foreigners is to give birth in their home country and avoid this hospital if at all possible.

How the F&£k during a major Covid spike allow everyone to walk around with it masks… in a Hospital. This is atrocious!

Gave blood today to check my meds.always happy to see you and always helpful and very kind.

(Translated by Google) unfriendly and rude staff (Original) onvriendelijk en onbeschoft personeel

A hospital where the responsible doctors don't know the cases of the patients they're responsible for, with high personnel turnover so you can literally have five appointments in a year without seeing the same doctor twice. Which nevertheless presumes to gatekeep access to transgender healthcare with shallow questions spread out over months because of protocol time requirements with no scientific backing. Which uses its position of authority on gender medicine with policymakers to perpetuate its own position as a necessary roadblock at the cost of patient health across the country. What little benefit the gender department's infrequent psychologist appointments with a rapidly rotating cast provide to help patients resolve their identity (assuming they didn't solve it themselves in the 2 year waiting period) is vastly overshadowed by the (for taxpayers expensive) labyrinthine gatekeeping. Would literally be better if it just handed out free hormones. A friend of mine had a similar experience in the oncology department (doctors unfamiliar with the case, slow to act, hesitant to do anything). He switched hospitals and the other hospital immediately saw the need for medical intervention, but the cancer had already metastisized. If you or someone you care about do end up here, be proactive. With how little time doctors spend on each patient, you can quickly know your case better than them, and you can often find options that they neglected or overlooked or petition for some leniency in the procedure. Keep doctors accountable, or they'll pay as little attention to you as the protocol dictates. (This probably goes for most hospitals). So, if you have the option, go somewhere else. If you don't, I hope the doctors decide it is ethically justified to help you before things get out of hand.

Great intensive care and very friendly people!

What an excellent experience. I was sent in last friday with a detached retina - the young surgeon who saw me scheduled me in immediately for emergency eye surgery on the Sunday. I was pretty terrified, but from the moment I entered the hospital Sunday at 7.30 it was just one fantastic staff member after another - from the security guard who gave me a coffee and came and chatted and wished me luck (thanks for that - I really appreciated it) to all the friendly smiling nurses, it just gave me so much energy in the face of potentially losing an eye. The surgeon and co surgeon - just fantastic - perfoming emergency surgeries on their weekend with a smile. So professional, yet warm and friendly - excellent people. All the promises to ring me before and after the surgery were kept - very reliable and straightforward. Thank you. Whatever the outcome is I know this team of saints did their best in every respect.

I hope when the personnel of this clinic will need some medical help that's the only place which will be available to them.

This hospital offered very good expertise and service in the area of allergy testing (common allergens as hayfever, cats and dogs by "sprinkle/dot testing" but also chemicals and preservatives such as MCI and lanolin done by patch testing). They've recently (2015) suffered damages of a water leak which resulted in very long waiting times (6 months for a referral). Hopefully they'll get their act together and shorten waiting times.

Great doctors and as my and others privacy is #1 I can't tell you much more. Wait,,, really good coffee machines compared to other hospitals in Amsterdam. Got myself a yummie (for machine made) capucino :-)

(Translated by Google) It is a modern hospital, but it is better if you can stay away because you are in good health. (Original) Het is een modern ziekenhuis,maar beter is als je er weg kunt blijven omdat je goed gezond bent .

Bad hospital with rude staff!

They did emergency surgery inside my head I had hydrocephalus, I am as before like new. Thank you so much doctors and nurse team, the ladys from kitchen, administration desk as well and clean team! They are huge! Thanks neuro department 🤍🤍🤍

I am the mother of Melina Reyes who was in the Neuro Department. We want to convey our infinite gratitude as a family, to each of the medical professionals who intervened, our admiration for the professionalism and human warmth that our beloved daughter has shown us. Many thanks to each nursing professional for the cordial and humane treatment given to Melina who was far away from her family. Thanks to the kitchen staff for helping to replenish her strength. Thanks to Kinesiology for allowing her to return home and to be able to function normally with her own autonomy. Thanks to the administration people for giving her all the details on how to proceed. Thanks to the cleaning staff who work to maintain the hospital. We are a family from Argentina and therefore we appreciate immensely that our beloved daughter is in the hands of professionals and technology from Amsterdam. Thanks to the country that allows us to see the light of hope in Mely's health, we have full confidence in the hard work that must be done in surgery for a deep brain tumor. ¡¡¡¡¡Just Thanks to all the staff of the Hospital that saved our daughter's life!!!!!

Top team (Original) in deze drukke en hectische tijd was er toch plaats om mij te helpen. De mensen zijn super vriendelijk. Niets is hen te veel. Top team

It's a big hospital, not many attempts have been taken to make it even a bit more cosy.

if you are a tourist in Nederland, (as my wife was in those days), and you need emergency care and you come to this health facility, be aware that depending on your insurance charge the bill could be as high as $ what you earns in two months of work. -That is, there is no human look to assist those who cry for help and are "deprived" of resources to pay.

For people who are handicapped and can not operate a choice menu on a phone. For them it is useless to contact this hospital. Because they can not connect you through a person. Only to a choice menu. Is this discrimination on base of handicap?

It was one of the best hospitals I have seen in my life in terms of cleanliness, care and good treatment of nurses and hospital doctors worthy of greeting ❤️❤️

At the first aid we were very well taken care of, the duty doctor was very helpful.

My husband was treated here for advanced stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed in the USA and started treatment there. When we came back to Amsterdam, where we live now, the Drs. were able to take his treatment from where he finished in the US. His team of Drs. were very helpful, kind and professional, even though my husbands cancer was more advanced when they treated him. We really appreciate the treatment and comfort they gave him during his treatment and final months.

VUmc is a university medical center. This means that doctors, specialists and nurses are being trained alongside the treatment of patients and that scientific research takes place. There are 50 departments in Vumc. This center can be reached easily from Amsterdam zuid or easily accessible with Tram, Metro or bus.

(Translated by Google) I went here last Thursday for a second opinion on the diagnosis of MS. It was clearly communicated in advance by letter what I could expect. Finding a parking space was also not that bad (9:30). After we had found a parking space it was about a 3 minute walk to the outpatient clinic. Upon arrival I had to have a pass made and then I could report to the desk. I was greeted kindly by the desk clerk. I got a 50% discount on my parking ticket and 2 coupons for free hot drink + cake. The conversation with the neurologist started at 9:45, in which he mainly asked for and noted down a lot of information. At 12:15 pm I was able to go back in to discuss the findings. The neurologist was very friendly, and I asked about 1001 questions. All my questions were answered logically and nothing was too much to ask. I agreed with what the neurologist said despite the diagnosis remains a disappointment. I left feeling relieved instead of crying and misunderstood as unfortunately before in my own hospital. Why then 4 stars instead of 5? Because only the previously known information is viewed and it would seem so interesting to me if an MRI were also made right now. It was also a pity that you could not enjoy lunch in the hospital due to Corona measures. Entertaining yourself for 2 hours with a lot of excitement is a bit difficult :) (Original) Ik ben hier afgelopen donderdag geweest voor een second opinion over de gestelde diagnose MS. Van te voren is is er duidelijk gecommuniceerd per brief wat ik kon verwachten. Ook viel een parkeerplek zoeken reuze mee(9:30). Nadat wij een parkeerplek hadden gevonden was het ongeveer 3 minuten lopen naar de polikliniek. Bij binnenkomst diende ik een pasje aan te laten maken en vervolgens kon ik me melden bij de balie. Door de baliemedewerkster werd ik vriendelijk begroet. Ik kreeg een korting van 50% op mijn parkeerkaart en 2 bonnen voor gratis warme drank + gebak. Om 9:45 begon het gesprek met de neuroloog waarbij hij vooral veel informatie vroeg en noteerde. Om 12:15 kon ik weer terug naar binnen om de bevindingen te bespreken. De neuroloog was erg vriendelijk en ik heb zo ongeveer 1001 vragen gesteld. Op al mijn vragen werd een logisch antwoord gegeven en niks was teveel gevraagd. Ik kon mij vinden in wat de neuroloog zei ondanks de diagnose toch een teleurstelling blijft. Ik ben met een opgelucht gevoel vertrokken i.p.v. huilend en onbegrepen zoals helaas eerder in mijn eigen ziekenhuis. Waarom dan 4 sterren i.p.v. 5? Omdat enkel de eerder bekende informatie bekeken wordt en het mij zo interessant zou lijken als er juist nu ook een MRI gemaakt zou worden. Ook was het jammer dat je vanwege Corona maatregelen niet lekker kon gaan lunchen in het ziekenhuis. Jezelf 2 uur vermaken met een hoop spanning is wat lastig :)

(Translated by Google) The nurses are really great, the same also counts for all other employees in the hospital. Then why 4 out of 5 stars? One doctor had the arrogance to say that the pain I had after the operation was not too bad when I literally almost passed out from the pain. Anyway, both the nurses and I were quite angry about this that he reacted so lax. In other words, the doctor in question has been downcast, because that's not how you treat your patients. (Original) De verplegers zijn echt super, ditzelfde telt trouwens ook voor alle andere medewerkers in het ziekenhuis. Waarom dan 4 van de 5 sterren? Eén arts had de arrogantie om te zeggen dat de pijn, die ik had na de operatie, wel meeviel terwijl ik letterlijk bijna out ging van de pijn. Afijn, zowel de verpleging als ik waren hier best boos over dat hij zo laks reageerde. Met andere woorden: de arts in kwestie heeft op zijn donder gehad, want zo ga je niet met je patiënten om.

They turned me away as I’m a tourist and need to see a GP first…I was having a medical emergency and to have the ER receptionist decide to turn you away is not a great experience.

(Translated by Google) We came here urgently at the beginning of this year due to a premature birth of our twins. We have spent more than 2.5 months here at the NICU. A warm bath from day 1. A very exciting and uncertain time, but thanks to the lovely staff we had the best possible time. (Original) Met spoed begin dit jaar hier terecht gekomen wegens een vroeggeboorte van onze tweeling. Wij hebben hier ruim 2,5 maand doorgebracht op de NICU. Vanaf dag 1 een warm bad. Een hele spannende en onzekere tijd, maar mede door het lieve personeel het zo goed mogelijk naar ons zin gehad.

Extremely good help from the gender clinic and other departments I had to visit. Sweet, understanding people who think with you about what is best for you. The waiting times are long but there is little you can do about that.
