My 78-year-old mom underwent knee replacement surgery in June 2020. In general, the operation was successful. The ward is excellent, shower, toilet, refrigerator, super bed, TV, Russian channel. Clean and comfortable. The food is also great to choose from. Enough for both the patient and the visitors. Fruits, juices, water, tea, coffee in unlimited quantities. The staff are mostly polite and professional. But we were demanding patients, my mother was a doctor in the past and did not take any medicine or procedure until they explained what it was and why. This of course made the staff unnerving. People everywhere are people, some pretended not to understand. German doctors are professionals, but don't expect warmth and sincerity. We were very lucky, we met two Russian-speaking doctors, Sergei Leontiev and Tatiana Gindensperger. I am endlessly grateful to them! Despite their busyness, they found time for conversation and support, which is very important for an elderly person, the word also heals! Since the clinic is large, there is a service that picks up their wards and takes them to the office for examination, they leave them there, and at the end they are taken away again. This can take about an hour, you have to be prepared. Many things on demand or on demand, you also need to know. In general, the operation was successful, but there were problems due to age and concomitant diseases. We stayed in the clinic for longer and had additional examinations, which, accordingly, led to an increase in the bill. The bill is one third higher than the preliminary estimate. This is certainly an unpleasant moment. Маме 78 лет провели операцию по замене коленного сустава в июне 2020. В целом операция прошла успешно. Палата отличная, душ, туалет, холодильник, супер кровать, телевизор, русский канал. Чисто, уютно. Еда тоже отличная на выбор. Достаточно и для больного и для посетителей. Фрукты, соки, вода, чай, кофе в неограниченных количествах. Персонал в основном вежливый и профессиональный. Но мы были требовательные пациенты, мама в прошлом врач и ни одно лекарство или процедуру не принимала, пока не объяснят, что это и зачем. Это конечно нервировало персонал. Люди везде люди, некоторые делали вид, что не понимают. Немецкие врачи профессионалы, но теплоты и душевности не ждите. Нам очень повезло, мы встретили двух русскоговорящих врачей, Сергей Леонтьев и Татьяна Гинденспергер. Я им благодарна бесконечно! Несмотря на свою занятость, находили время для разговора и поддержки, что очень важно для пожилого человека, слово тоже лечит! Так как клиника большая, есть сервис, которые забирает их палаты и отвозит к кабинету для обследования, там оставляют и по окончании забирают опять. Это может длиться около часа, надо быть готовым. Многие вещи по требованию или по запросу, тоже надо знать. В целом операция прошла успешно, но были проблемы в силу возраста и сопутствующих заболеваний. Пробыли в клинике дольше и были дополнительные обследования, что соответственно привело к увеличению счета. Счет на треть выше предварительной сметы. Это конечно неприятный момент.
