Charité Campus Virchow Clinic

I had to get checked because of a unusual feet fracture. After waiting for 5h at the Rettungsstelle, they checked everything and suggested an surgery in four days, but they told me that they also need an MRT which can‘t be done in the hospital. So, I had to stress around whole Berlin for an MRT. Fine, I did it. The surgery should happen on Tuesday, so the preparation would happen on Monday, doctor told me. I go there on Monday and it was a holiday. „Sorry, there‘s nobody here today. Come back tomorrow!“ Okay, fine. Not cool to get around the city with a broken foot. Then, saw the doctor next day. Seemed professional and I was relieved. Few days after, surgery happened and everything was professional as well. But then, on the day I wanted to leave: Doctor and nurse had a fight. Nobody wanted to give me medication and I had to organize the document for leaving by myself, hobble around the whole hospital.

What should I say? I didn‘t leave the hospital more disabled than I entered it, which I am sometimes afraid in Berlin or in general. But this is also some kind of a minimum requirement, no? The whole rest was an exhausting experience full of errors and misunderstandings on the hospital side. Maybe it‘s not possible to do it better, because everybody is overworked and there are too many patients. But I can‘t give more than one star, and that one goes to all the people who work there and were friendly and professional. Overall, things can be vastly improved.

Doctors are Amazing, but there are multiple issues I wish if management would improve, such as:
Having more accurate appointments ( when I have an appointment at 9-11 AM) I finish at around 5 PM, hence it can be done literally in 15 minutes.
2. Building 4, not good managed, people are waiting in Sprechstunde in every corner just trying to enter the room.
3. They have only specific days for each something, which is causing all people having common issues to wait a lot more longer than expected

The most unprofessional , rude staff and worst Hospital management in Berlin after waiting 3 and half hour because of Accident on work place (Arbeitsunfall). Which’s actually treated on fast track every where in the world thats what emergency (Notfall) means for.

I asked could you please tell me how much i have to wait further could i get pain killer my eye really hurt.

Just wait now we are handing over shift we will get back to you in a while then after waiting further more 30 min i asked it’s actually hurts a lot can i get first Aid

They doctor will get back to you after 3 hours either wait another 3 hour more or go back to somewhere. i didn’t expect i just move to another hospital i did nit meet with doctor so i couldn’t say about him/her
Please save your precious time and safe yourself from waiting trauma

There's a bold doctor with glasses at the entrance who is increasingly rude. I needed medical assistance and apart from screaming at me he said "what I have is nothing". I'm not satisfied with how I've been treated here.

Long waiting times even with appointments, very rude staff and don’t care about your needs.
I put 2 stars because the doctor was nice but the overall experience wasn’t.
If you don’t speak German is a bit difficult.
Never again

If there would be MINUS stars I would give them all of them. The only reason why you see one star is because otherwise I couldn't post Let me explain why:

On the 20th of December 2018, I went to the Charite Virchow clinic to get a second opinion about a 1 cm hernia that was diagnosed by Dr.med. Babble in the Franziskus Krankenhaus Berlin. It is at the Charite Hospital where Dr. Axel Winter, who works there as a hernia specialist convinced me that I would urgently need hernia surgery with a TAPP net (later I found out that these nets should be only used for bigger hernias - normally the tissue is just stitched together after the hernia removal). After giving my trust and going through the operative procedure my body and belly showed about half a year after the operation pain and nerve wrecking symptoms. Dr Axel Winter of members of the operation team that operated me (Dr.med.Linda Feldbrügge and Anke Schönherr) NEVER checked on me after the operation and I NEVER GOT ANY TREATMENT PROCEDURE DOCUMENTATION ABOUT THE OPERATION MADE ON ME.

3 TIMES I made my way to the hospital in his patient hearing hours to consult the doctor that treated. NEVER DID HE EITHER SHOW UP OR CONTACTED ME as as a result of me speaking to some of his Dr.colleagues in the Charite Virchow. HE RATHER LEFT ME BEING A MISTREATED PATIENT WITH TORTURING SYMPTOMS WHICH WERE:

-WAKING UP EVERY MORNING WITH A NAUSEA
-STRESSFUL BELLY
-STRONG LOWER BELLY PAINS
-STRONG UPPER BELLY PAINS
-NERVE SPASMS AND MUSCLE JERKS AT DIFFERENT BODY REGIONS
-BELLY BURPING
-HEADACHES
-SLEEPLESSNESS
-ETC.

Long story short: After 3.5 years so almost 4 years of running from doctor to doctor to treat my belly pains and other eventually resulting symptoms (internist etc. because these TAPP nets can have detrimental issues on your nerves and muscles). Ultimately I ended up visiting about or more than 34 doctors in a timeframe of about 4 years with only very few diagnosis that made sense. I made the choice to go through the explantaion operation of the TAPP net. Unfortunately the doctor (Dr.Koch in Cottbus) that is with one of the very best in his field to explant sucht nets couldn't remove it because the TAPP net itself already connected itself with my nerve tissue. Ultimately he found that the net had wondered to partly block and injure my gut organ and leaving me with scar tissue. Eventually he could recorrect the position of the TAPP net. After all Im still dealing with nerve irritations and various disturbing symptoms. Hopefully all these disturbing symptoms will stopp soon after the next procedures of treatment.

NOW JUST THINK OF TORTURED ENERGY LEVELS AND THE ON AND OFFS THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY BECAUSE OF THIS !

IM GOING TO SUE THE CHARITE VIRCHOW CLINIC (DR. AXEL KOCH) FOR ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING THEY UNTIL THIS DAY BROUGHT ME THROUGH.

THE WAY I WAS TREATED AFTER THE OPERATION WAS BEYOND AWFUL AND EVIL.

IF YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY AND PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEED HEALTH ADVISE FROM PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS THAT ARE MOTIVATED TO HELP AND HEAL PEOPLE THEN AVOID THIS HOSPITAL BY ANY MEANS.

I gave birth there and the experience was terrible. The medical staff is seriously inexperienced and there is a total chaos, if something goes wrong. In my case, they didn’t document the medical mistake and tried to cover it up. Some of the midwives have a serious issue with foreigners which makes the post birth stay also unpleasant. In general, you are better off anywhere else, especially if you are an expat.
