AZ Maria Middelares Review

Always helped very well. Caring employees and clear, efficient communication about everything.

Super equipped hospital, a relief, only .... they did raise the room supplement fees from 100 to 150% without saying anything. . . in other words, the surgeons earn more, pay more to the hospital and the patient is once again the victim because there are almost no conventional doctors (and that is also included)

Excellent attention; Avant-garde team, it's so beautiful that you can forget at times that you're in a hospital, but the best thing was the attention of doctors and nurses. The human quality has no borders and they always made me feel accompanied and they tried to find me people who spoke Spanish to answer my questions. I really appreciate everything, so much that when I was discharged, I missed the environment, the food and the company a lot.

Doctors who only think about filling bags and self-enrichment ... you're a number. Once their bags are filled, you can kick off .... NEVER say in advance that you have insurance, because then they do many unnecessary examinations, long-term withdrawals, in short, everything to get as much money as possible. They are too unwieldy to come by when they are discharged and the GP can wait weeks for the results. There is no shortage of megalomania, laughter of patients, doctors with a god complex .... the renovations are impressive, but medical services are a disaster as always has been the case.

Very satisfied. Indeed care with a soul! Capable, patient and time is taken. Feeling of safety. I also thought it was special that I was allowed to call IC from 8 to 8 to inquire about my husband who had surgery on his heart.

Undergo an MRI all the way in early May. Brain scan. They contacted me again the same week. Meanwhile, back a week and a half later and still nothing. Contacted myself, since I was not comfortable, but the doctor will check everything once he has "time". I didn't get him on the phone myself, although he was present. I have already received and paid their invoice, but I do not yet know my result. When asked if a new appointment was needed, I got the answer: we'll see. I ran very high with AZ Maria Middelares, but outside a beautiful entrance hall it has become a grandiose soup. Even my family doctor knows nothing.

Super satisfied.
Easy in reference
Solid care
And solid medical team and nursing team
Friendly staff

When your doctor says, very irritated, that I have to learn to live with my complaints because she has no idea what it is, then you know it is time to go to another hospital. I felt treated very unprofessional, please leave your irritation at home. I have never opted for my health problems, nor do I come to the hospital to be a burden to you.

Good pediatricians! Good ophthalmologist! Great maternity! Super quality paediatrics!

Yesterday had minor surgery on the knee because of tear in the meniscus. The days before I had some nerves, but was not necessary at all! There is a great guidance from start to finish by the super friendly and helpful and professional nursing and other staff gives a very reassuring effect. Everything had passed without my realizing it very well and pain after surgery, I really can not complain! This night for the first time back did not come up in many weeks of pain! The short visit to the operation of the doctor and the anestist with a clear explanation of what will happen and what they clearly take the time I could really appriciate. If I have to stabbing then the fear is still a bit off, although I still hope to be able to postpone this for many years a new knee will stand there ever! Thanks Dr. White and your entire entourage! Very pleased with this brief hospitalization and surgery!

Large hospital that offers most medical treatments. Parking is not always easy and waiting times can sometimes increase within.

Virtually the best hospital in Ghent! Top quality! I was operated on for a double inguinal hernia at the end of January 2020, and everything was in perfect shape from check-in to hospital discharge! The welcome was warm and very friendly, the people in the day clinic were very friendly and professional. When prepping, Dr. Muysoms stopped by for some details and then the operation could begin. When I awoke from general anesthesia, the friendly anesthesiologist Dr. Pieters just came to me. Once in the room I almost immediately got something to eat and drink and then I was allowed to go home.
The follow-up by Dr. Defoort also went very smoothly!
The hospital was completely renovated a few years ago, and is ultramodern! You can easily find your way to the various services. There is a large restaurant / cafeteria with a wide selection.
The hospital is also easily accessible via the R4 or via the Kortrijksesteenweg.
For me, I absolutely recommend this hospital! Very knowledgeable, extremely hygienic and people (patient) friendliness are of paramount importance! Thanks for this and well deserved 5 stars!

Pay to visit a family member. Do you find it really normal that there is no possibility to visit your own mother when she is in the hospital without having to pay for it? Shows that it is only about money and not about people.

Super good hospital, we came from another zh. Here the doctors work nicely on their appointment, good experience with urgency. Operated in February, had very good care, and friendly staff. The other zh can still learn a lot from this.

Beautiful new construction and modern rooms. I experienced meals very well. Register with EID via vending machine and payment only via invoice at address.

The maternity staff has fantastic staff. The rooms have all modern comfort (air conditioning, 2 fridges, clean bathroom, Senseo machine, ...) and are neatly maintained. In the morning and evening you have a lot of choice in what you eat. A minus: on one side of the hallway you look out on an inner courtyard where nothing is visible. This is difficult for longer recordings, you get a very isolated feeling.

Doctor Moerman left me to my own devices after my operation, while I was struggling and still struggling with serious voice problems. Ombudsman D. De Mol did not answer my questions until I filed a complaint with the Agency for Care and Health. Is this care with a soul? Fortunately there were friendly nursing staff on the day of the operation. They were the only bright spot for me in this hospital.

Very well organized and very friendly service. I was in the urology department for a few days.

This afternoon I go home and have to say very friendly staff on 5 de floor rehabilitation neurology
I have followed very well and everyone is very friendly
Chapeau for this department
Do this

Very dissatisfied with dr. LOOTENS due to a deliberate erroneous execution of hallux valgus surgery. It's a brute, a liar and a moneywave. The hospital supports such a doctor! I reported the complaint to the ombuds service, they are afraid of the doctor.
Never again this hospital for me!

Good food , friendly and caring Staff. State of the art new hospital. Wouldn't recommended another one.

Truly a top hospital in every area. Very human, warm and friendly. I have been a number of times for very different matters and I have always been treated very well at every service.

Super satisfied patient
Friendly welcome
Pain center service very friendly and helpful.
After many years of being thrown from pillar to post by doctors and always having to listen to it, you have to learn to live with it after performing various operations (other hospitals) finally ended up with a TOP doctor pain doctor Decaigny Veronique
I have been coming to her for a few years now and I am still treated as each patient wishes. Make time, you are not a number, look and look for all possibilities, listening ear, explains everything so well in human language that it is understood where your pain comes from. Never knew everything was so complex. As I learned through her to "understand pain" this has solved a major mental problem and this is very different from most doctors say you have to "learn to live with it".
She cannot perform miracles but the support and help to make it more bearable is a dream.
I can therefore say that this is the only doctor in my life where I take my hat off and am so happy to have her or there were many surgeries with all the consequences.

I've been trying to get in touch for over half an hour, and no one is responding. It is recorded and immediately put down again. Has happened to me before with this hospital unfortunately

1 day and night located on intensive after jaw correction. The nurses were extremely friendly, concerned, and helpful. What a fun experience despite the pain.

Registration at the reception was friendly.
Then you come to a nurse who fills in the medical questionnaire, less friendly and curt.
The system from first to a waiting room, then dressing room and from there to anesthesia and OK, super friendly, you will be put at ease.
Then to the room, very friendly and helpful nursing staff.
The next day, a lot less friendly (other nursing team).
I would be picked up by CM transportation at 2:30 PM.
The physiotherapist had to come and the orthopedist, so, in the absence of time, the driver had to take me to the radiograph.
The nurses REFUSED to take me in a wheelchair for RX, which was not part of their duties due to lack of time and too much work.
With 4 nurses, they stuck to the wall to do nothing.
The driver then finally went to the radiography with me.
It took a lot of effort to get out of the hospital.
Another thing I want to mention: my roommate brought them a wheelchair to smoke outside.

Been ambulatory twice on physical service. In the entrance hall very kindly helped to get me started. Friendly nurses on the service as well as the doctors where I am updated are very pleasant! Friendly and understanding and they take their time to explain. Pleasant mindset here!

Very good attentive and competent nurses, good care and follow-up.

I have a week there for a coronary bypass operation and actually have nothing but praise for this hospital. from the professional cardiac surgeons to the trainees in the nursing person responsible and involved people with a heart for the patient

Very modern and clean hospital - for me anyway - so far everything has always gone smoothly. Everything is well marked, the registration columns give you all the information; the printed ticket even includes directions to the department where you have to be (sometimes lies in the details, you feel good about something).
The fact that you sometimes have to wait a little longer makes sense and human (there are always emergencies coming or anticipate what treatments in between). It is the knowledge that counts for me here.
Last surgery was on stomatology department. There had to be 2 teeth. I had weeks of tevoor enormous stress, and even been literally sick (!) The day before. But now a few days later had not had a minute of pain, either during treatment or afterwards. During the treatment was always communicated very clearly and thoroughly so you know what happened (I find it pleasant if one of the less pleasant pricks "Herald" and tells you what the situation is at every step of treatment). Thanks to the team! Stress for nothing actually.
I think negative experiences here lies on the person (doctor versus patient) but if it goes on infrastructure then this class hospital, with my experience doctors with expertise!

I was treated there for 17 days in the Easter department around 06/2017 and I am very satisfied.

Maria Hospital develops high-technology and all the amenities

arrived at emergency because I could not see with one eye, made all kinds of tests, retinal detachment was that I had, the doctor said he could do nothing more until there is no problem. Now I have advised my boss to do a 2nd opinion from an ophthalmologist, has tested everything and can idd nothing more to be done, but he thought it was strange that they did not operate with you me although it is necessary because otherwise my eye would shrink. So lucky that I have had a second opinion.
This is a serious mistake of yours, I guess

The UZ MM complaints service does not consider it necessary to answer my e-mail. I had suggested that the parking attendant would do better to help us get rid of the car instead of sticking a nice note on the car to give us a comment! A new bombastic project and already insufficient parking space!

Very good hospital. New modern building and very professional staff.

Satisfied with the hospital, but pay attention they have let me sign a single room and I always ask for a double room (already operated several times in this hospital) so read everything very carefully before you sign off. had contact several times mzt sickznhuis and can do nothing about invoice. I am sorry.

Geoperated on Feb. 13 Revision Knip by Dr Joost Lagast. Everything went perfectly. Nursing care excellent.
Thick plume for the hospital

A super good hospital with class. top doctors and very good nursing. In the emergency, they do everything possible to limit the waiting time. Very good hygiene in rooms and common areas. You are not a number there, but a human. For whom it is too expensive go to stt Lucas or Jan palfijn.
Maria Middelares with a heart for the patients and the care.

The expertise, support and follow-up in the allergy center is of absolute top quality. Parents who are desperate, or simply want proper follow-up and advice, do not hesitate to make an appointment here. A first appointment will take a while, but once the ball is rolling, it is definitely worth the wait.

If you call for information, they will bite your nose

Service intensive care, very friendly and modern equipment.
When you visit a friend you see that it is a good clinic.
The accessibility is more difficult, the GPS is sending you wrong.

Unfriendly staff. After all my hospital visits this was nothing short of my worst experience. Is this a store or a hospital? 0 information was communicated to me in advance. I am a 18-year-old girl who came here without my parents but with my boyfriend. Everything happened by different people, which really made me feel uncomfortable. On top of that, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the nurse who was already as rude as it could be during the day, says that my friend can not sleep here, not a word or less, nevertheless she is already here the whole time. saw a day and could have asked for it. Less than 2 minutes later there is someone I have never seen to send him away, simply outrageous with the explanation "for everyone alike" because that is easy of course of course. 0 options for a solution that he could stay, he now has to go home on his own at 10 o'clock in the evening and I'll only stay behind ... There is not looked at the person himself and his / her emotions, but "how much your pain is on a scale of 1 to 10" and how they can treat as many people as possible in the worst time. Really very very disappointed, I never want to experience something like that again.

A top hospital there in Gent the care there is much better than the employees in the Netherlands
there are very friendly and helpful
What I find a very big MIN point is that there are no coffee machines are a bit of a shame
I hope to improve that
no coffee machines in the departments either
bit of a shame would be nice
vr gr leo

I was admitted to the day clinic in February. I am not really satisfied with the way of working at this hospital. You have to wait a very long time in a normal waiting room until it is your turn (much later than agreed). The administrative staff is correct, but certainly not overly friendly. It can't all go fast enough. Moreover, they still made mistakes in invoicing and tried to make it seem as if I was wrong. Fortunately the nurses are friendly. For the rest, it is a large factory that lacks humanity.

Had ultrasound on radiology. I had to wait a bit long but the radiologist (Schoofs) was very friendly and gave a lot of explanation. Also very helpful nurse.
Very satisfied!!

You will be helped perfectly
Unfortunately parking is a disaster
You are certainly looking for a place for half an hour

You will be redirected here 5 times without anyone knowing what is going on. Paying 30-40 each time for nothing.
+ They send bills @ random for consultations you've never had. Sad.

A week in Maria Middelares ...
I ended up here unexpectedly and only have a lot of praise for this hospital.
I was on the fourth floor.
Incredibly friendly and caring staff, very good communication between doctors and nurses.
Perfect care, very nice rooms.
Breakfast perfect and lots of choice just like the evening meal. Also the meal is good.
Perfectly clean rooms.
The entrance to the hospital is beautiful!
The restaurant and the terrace can also be sure.
If you are not sick you can think that you are staying in a nice hotel!
Congratulations,
Dear

Dr. Lootens already more than 3 hours late 3 times in a row !!!! Hospital in itself is super! The doctors had to come on time

Very quickly and professionally assisted in the emergency department. After that I had to stay a few days and felt a lot of warmth and understanding, day and night, week and Sunday shift.

Being sick is not fun, but if you have to, this is the place.

I myself was rushed there last week. Very kindly received. Nursing / caring staff is very polite there, super friendly and helpful. Only I think those people there are experiencing an enormous workload. For example, I was forgotten a dose of intravenous antibiotics, another time a bag, but only later injected the medicine. Blood samples, but then again because of "2 tubes needed". Or simply not aware that blood had to be taken.
A blocked infusion that prevents a dose of antibiotics from flowing again. Was disconnected ... but I still had to ask about that conscious dose ...
All by different nurses. Those people clearly need extra help / colleagues. Just a pity that the patients are the victims of this.

Nothing but praise for Maria Middelares.
Very friendly staff. From registration for admission to discharge.
Top doctor and nurse in the neurology department.
Wide choice of breakfast and dinner. Never seen before. Well-kept afternoon dish.
Named best hospital for a reason.
Congratulations to all. Keep up the good work!

Extremely well organized machine with very highly qualified personnel. 100 percent satisfaction with my cardio treatment.

Impressive building. State-of-the-art instruments. Very friendly but superficial. Some doctors seem to be little involved, do not provide all information. Indifferent ....
If, after a very long recording period, there is no progress but a decline, you have to draw your own conclusions ...

I have been admitted twice and have to say that the staff are very friendly and helpful. The kitchen is not too bad if you take into account the number of people for which the food is to be cooked. you better forget

I have recently been admitted to nursing care as always effective friendly still perfect but then and THEN IT COMES VENTILATION BAD IN THE ROOMS TEMPERATURES OF 32 TO 36 FOR PEOPLE WITH BREATHING PROBLEMS A KATASTROFE AND I THINK FOR EVERYONE WHAT CAN DO YOU THERE ???

Easily accessible by public transport. Shuttle service from the tram stop. Modern hospital, efficient registration system. Process well organized before and after surgery.

Super good hospital with friendly staff and good doctors!

Have an appointment at 20 for 5
Then have to wait 3 hours in the waiting room
Gzzn explanation or something and then come in to hear that the scans are closed so that they can't do anything now ...

This is the worst hospital that I visited in Ghent for the 1st time !!! !!! !!! (Emergency department)

I first visited my doctor on a public holiday with my little one, the doctor informed me that our little one had an ear infection and that we
2 options, either give antibiotics and go home and wait or go to the hospital.

We chose to go to the '' emergency '' because the little one had a 40.30 degree fever, did not respond much, always fell asleep, which was not normal for the doctor and therefore more research was needed in the hospital. We had also given Nurofen and Perdolan Suppo to our little one before our visit to the GPs from Wacht, and that had not helped to lower her fever either.

However, behind our choice to go to the '' emergency '' we had to wait 3 hours, the emergency doctor came by and did less than 5 minutes of research, he said that nothing was wrong that everything was OK !!! He said that the ears are red but that he can not prescribe the CPR (blood test) was also good, it had risen a bit but nothing to worry about that.

After the investigation was done, I asked for a family leave note, I had to go to work after a few hours, but I couldn't sleep without it.

HE SAID THAT HE COULD NOT WRITE THE LETTER!
NEVER VISIT THIS HOSPITAL NEVER !!!

The little one was sick, having a fever of more than 40 degrees does it mean that something is wrong ???
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO STAY AT HOME WITH MY SMALL SICK !!!

ABOVE, he left the examination room without saying what else we should do!
After fifteen minutes I went to the reception myself and the reception told me to go home!

I DON'T LEAVE THIS, I WILL DO EVERYTHING TO PURCHASE THIS DOCTOR.

TOMORROW AGAIN AT THE GP OR AN APPOINTMENT AT A GIRL'S DOCTOR. BECAUSE 1 DOCTOR prescribes ANTIBIOTICS AND THE OTHER SAYS THERE IS NIKS ON THE HAND ??? WHO SHOULD I BELIEVE ???

No respect for patients. I had an appointment for 15:30. I came before 15:00 and registered just to be sure I am on time. It is now 16:25 and they just asked someone else inside. Absolutely disgraceful.

My partner Eric, from the clinic, asks me to post this text for him: "When I was brought to the emergency room, I was examined by assistant doctor DECRUYENAERE Alexander, among others. It fascinated me that this doctor behaved like a fish in the water. Everything was right on him, his words, diagnosis questions, clothing. From the open crack of a treatment room, I could see the very passionate, yet controlled, friendly, modest approach. His picture was 110% correct, with the other staff in the emergency room and on the D203 ward in his direct track. Maria Middelares, you undoubtedly have a 5-star hospital! " Keep up the good work, Eric.

This hospital is located on the Ghent Ring. It is a modern hospital, but not the cheapest in Ghent. The staff is very friendly and correct. The meals are in order and actually quite tasty by the standards of a large kitchen. There is a large parking lot and plenty of space for cyclists. In the hall there is a piano that can be played freely and this creates a homely atmosphere.

Receptionist urgent extremely rude. Reproach that we came to the emergency and not to the doctor.
This is of course not up to her to judge (no doctor - nurse).

Then emergency doctor orthopedist.
Friend was suffering from pain, unstoppable.
Without even looking at where the pain was signaled or anything, pictures were taken. Nothing found of course.

Afterwards it turned out that he has a serious cyst that urgently needs to be removed operationally and is packed with eater. Hence the severe pains.

So not a good experience. Beautiful new hospital, but you are of course nothing with that.

Super hospital, the nurses are very friendly, it is very well equipped. Very good doctors.

Waiting times are way too long. Appointments are not met. Too few waiting places.

Am rushed in with a blind bowel inflammation 3 hours later I have not seen a doctor. While you are urgently expected to receive sebiet help, they will gladly suffocate you in Maria Middelares. Finally went to another hospital because they did nothing.

Already more than 3 hours waiting for emergency arrived and no people .. For an adult ok .. But it is for our son with fever and not to keep the pain really sad!

Nobody likes going to a hospital, let alone to undergo surgery. But what a difference with Saint Lucas. A day and night difference. Removal of the gallbladder by Pieter Pletinckx. Pleasant friendly and human surgeon with a great team. From A to Z, perfect follow-up. From arrival to dismissal. Although there is sometimes an under-crew, people are always alert. A lot of course depends on your own attitude towards the nursing staff. For do not forget that all these people who are at the service of us are just ordinary people of flesh and blood. Really my sincere chapeau for the whole team. I was in good hands and felt human, but not a number. Especially in the department where I was. The fear was great, but the confidence afterwards was even greater. TOP.

very satisfied from hospital, epidural byna not become n n nice people too !!!

Never had any problems so far. It is the best zh among the Ghent hospitals. Top care with friendly staff.

Emergency: ok competent doctors with a correct diagnosis (was calm that night). Admission of competent doctors specialists and nurses as well as employees who are in contact with the patient all kind and listening.
Meals: good, Rooms: ok still in old building, Maintenance: very good, Request for a moral service: very good was not stopped because I am non-denominational.

If they still want to compete with UZ-Gent, they will not get there by creating a nice entrance, but they will have to bring in skilled doctors. A lot of work still needs to be done in that area!

Very pleasant hospital, clear explanation of what you should do and what you can expect. Very friendly nurses!

this time not really happy unfriendly nurses, forgotten pick up eye examination consequently cold food Which they were going to heat but no one seen When I returned from st Lukas ped scan my towels and washcloths were gone + the soap and a t-shirt from the closet .Reported but no response Very satisfied with Arno, Eva and a nurse I don't know the name of 5th floor 516

Smooth and friendly welcome, well signposted.
I had dental surgery, day clinic, stomatology department at Dr. K. De Borghgraef. Very friendly and clear explanation during and after the operation, information brochure, etc. Top. Carefully, with care and skillfully proceeded, absolutely no "butcher". The driver from the shuttle bus to the tram stop was also very friendly (I was still a bit unstable on my legs when I got out;). I had seen this coming, so I was on public transport: tram 1 from Ghent St. Pieters, handy. Although in my experience the hospital is also easily accessible by car via the R4.
