Catharina Ziekenhuis Review

It's just terrible that they send a doctor in training to look at a few months of baby that you send home time and time again. At least that there is then a doctor sent but no that either. And they also dare to raise wages while they don't bake anything !!! As a mother, your mother's feeling is better than what a doctor in training "thinks" I am going to go to Belgium or Germany with a baby because here it is just abnormal. This way anyone can become a pediatrician.

Many technical highlights but unfortunately huge misses. Management skill is far below standard (huge distances, a grand staircase in the middle of the hall and a fully visible air bridge which carries beds with patients, resuscitation and appear ...)

I have been admitted to the Catharina hospital
been for mitraclip placement.
Great hospital and very knowledgeable staff also very friendly

My thanks for this .Mart Schreurs

very bad mouth and maxillofacial surgery department. wisdom teeth removed here. a few days later a lot of bleeding and if I call at 8:30 am then they say come at 4:00 pm then we can help you.

No rush, everything runs smoothly, in my opinion. Am "fit"

Outstanding service, wonderful peoples, expertise doctors.

Anesthesia department makes stupid remarks about my orientation during intake and does nonchalantly during intake. I advise everyone to go to a different hospital.

Have a cardiologist in this hospital, Dr. Teuwen, very skilled, very satisfied

if you want to get help go somewhere else; they'll dismiss you and tell you to drink paracetamol...

An internist works here who has looked beyond the length of the nose.
Masks do not work, tests are not correct, this falls under severe flu. Puts on mask for frightened and angry patients and colleagues
Does not dance. Management, be realistic, don't think about money, but about people and your soul

An excellent hospital compared to many others. Together with the St. Anna hospital in Geldrop, probably the best in the whole region.

Excellent hospital, friendly staff very involved with patients and it is also clean.

Perfectly taken care of when our three-year-old daughter appeared to have pneumonia. Good checks during the day and evening. Nice experience despite the reason for our stay.

Hospital with high standard and service. Nothing but positive comments for personep who is working here.
I highly recommend it.
Only down side is lack of parking space in peak days. Really hard top find place.
Location of hospital is really good. In green area of Eindhoven with good connections and roads towards centre and highway.

Very big hospital, with netherland biggest heart centrum building in progress to open.

I am also posting this review here so people know what kind of bad is your emergency room. No words for it.

In the evening I arrive at the emergency room with terrible pain in the back of my ankle. I cannot stand on it and later it turns out that my Achilles tendon has torn off. I found out about this with the doctor, because in this hospital it went like this: I am allowed to sit on the couch by the relevant nurse. The lady takes off my shoes feels 3 minutes asks 2 questions and then says that I can go home again and it will pass automatically and I MUST WALK ON IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I have to ask for bandages MYSELF and crutches are not recommended. The nurse sends me away as soon as possible with the unkind remark: "you can just walk or not then". While I clearly cannot. Madam does not want to call for a doctor and has not looked at the back of my ankle for a moment. I did not trust it and went to the doctor two days later who told me that my Achilles tendon was simply torn off and that what this sister told me I should definitely not have followed. Fortunately I did not wait a week with this and I immediately went to the doctor the following days because who knows what had happened. I got crutches and later I had an operation at the St. Anna hospital where they did help me well and I am currently recovering. Never again for me Catharina. I don't know how you train your sisters, but they clearly cannot tell the difference between a serious injury and a painful ankle. The time is not taken at all for you and that sister in question also gives the wrong advice as a result of which my Achilles tendon could have broken completely (while I am only 20 years old). I think it's really great that you let someone like that work in the emergency room
special.

The employees are very friendly, quality of care is very good

Because you are not there for fun, staff friendly but chaotic, food bad (according to patient) so try to stay away from it

They should treat animals. Visit on Sunday at 3:30 at night at the Catarina Hospital in Eindhoven. Earlier consultation by phone clearly informed them about the condition of the child with stomatitis they ordered to come. Well, the child wakes up crying, can not swallow saliva, which is why he has trouble breathing through sleep, he does not want to eat or drink because he has clearly swollen, almonds, gums and tongue. I am not a doctor but the very smell from the mouth is indicative of bacterial inflammation for which an antibiotic should be prescribed. The doctor said that if it does not last longer than 4 days then there is no need to give an antibiotic (doctor's recommendation to relieve pain, please give pain syrup and suppository) geniuses normally I should probably go to study medicine in the Netherlands because I gave the child the same early.

I was visiting here not sick. As a nurse I really liked everything I experienced here. Cleanliness everywhere in the wards modern beds the examination interventions are all separated from the other patients. Everyone in the wardrobe has the bandage and other supplies out of the patient, not from one patient to another. Every ward has a computer that records everything. Many things make it easier for nurses and patients.

From the box to the wall and after 1 year still no clear diagnosis of the assistant internist. Every time new assistant for appointment, no continuity. Care below the measure. More confidence in the GP.

Very satisfied. Specialist took all the time, scheduled appointments one after the other, personal and friendly support.

Very helpful in the gynacology department

Very nice doctors and asistentes helped very nice and everything was well explained and told

I've been coming here for over 80 years. And think it's a great hospital and very friendly nurse and doctors. I say keep it up.

I am currently being treated for lung cancer and I am full of praise for everything and everyone there, for which Thank you very much.

Good hospital and good care but ridiculous rates.
For an appointment for a shoulder injury check-up I have been in for a total of 15 minutes and receive a bill of 220 euros months later.

For comparison, the injury sustained in Germany had also been to a hospital, X-rays were made and assessed here, it took more than 1.5 hours in total and a bill of only 80 euros

Costs are not in proportion to the care provided, unfortunately this is the case at many institutions.

Our 2 children were born here thanks to the great and professional help of the maternity ward. They were knowledgeable and very personally involved. Nothing but praise for this department. As far as we are concerned, a gold medal!

fantastic experience, I called for my stepfather because it is quite difficult with the digid to log in for him, no effort was too much to guide him by phone, thumbs up to Jacqueline from the cardiology department

Every time we had to be with Catharina there is nothing wrong in terms of treatment, my father had 2 stents set up but a ridiculous waiting time and they had forgotten him, administration can be much better

The judge is not able to make a decision since she doesn't understand any medical outcome, and she is not able to translate what I sent her from Italian to Dutch. Doctor Flink wasn't able to do the right diagnostic denying me the Nissen surgery and not understanding I had the Wilkie's syndrome and the nutcracker syndrome. His tests took ages, and he prescribed me PPI and H2 receptors which obviously make worse the bile reflux, in fact I got way worse. I want to be contacted by the director of this hospital and I pretend a refund since your physician wasn't able to make the right diagnostic and got me more sick than before. So you gotta take your responsibilities, please hire a translator, I am expecting somebody who understands medicine contacts me, the judge doesn't understand anything

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

The mediator is refusing to forward my request to the legal department saying it is not a liability issue when obviously it is. I would like to be contacted by somebody higher than the mediator who is refusing to be helpful. This is ridiculous

Update: there is something weird with the MDL department, I have been followed by a certain Doctor Flink who denied my pathology, despite I owned various diagnostics in which we could see I suffered from duodenogastroesophageal reflux, hiatal hernia and my les also didn't work properly, surprisingly from the diagnostics of doctor Flink I was perfect, but it didn't correspond to reality. I also asked the cd of the endoscopy he did, and they gave me a CT scan of another patient. Since I understood that doctor Flink was a little too weird to me, I decided to find a solution myself, I went to Germany where I did a pH impedance test where it came out that the 60% of my reflux was alkaline at 15 cm of my les we can see 45 pathologic episodes of reflux, the result was reflux marginally pathologic, added to the previous diagnostic made me able to get a Nissen surgery performed in Italy. It has been scientifically proved that my issues started 2 years ago with the h. Pylori, now I don't know what doctor Flink is going to make up, but I am afraid he can't really cover what has been done, since there are a lot of diagnostics that prove the exactly opposite of his "diagnostic". Strange!
Episode during the diagnostic: I suffer from severe Gerd, and the pantoprazole wasn't working at all, so I vomited bile reflux everyday for 1 week, I stayed in bed for the whole week with severe pain and a bloated belly burping all the time, feeling my mind dizzy, I woke up during the night, I couldn't figure out where I was at, it took me 15 min to understand I was home, and I was in severe pain so I called the emergency in Maastricht where I live, went there and they called the catarina ziekenhuis, since the gastroenterologist I m followed by is there, they said to make me go there today at 9 am, so I did. Once I was at the emergency vomiting bile reflux and burping a lot with a super bloated belly, the "doctor" said I was doing it on purpose... I was keeping my belly bloated and burping on purpose... Which I think it s mental, why would I do this? So I asked him why do u think I would do that? And he said he didn't know, but according to his eyes I was acting... I told him I didn't want to have anything to do with him, to leave and see a gastroenterologist. So finally after suffering a gastroenterologist came saying it wasn't an emergency to take ibuprofen. If it wasn't an emergency why did u make me come from Maastricht to Eindhoven for some ibuprofen which I don't see how it could help. I have no words to express how disgusted I am. I have been mistreated in a place where sick people are meant to be assisted. I think a nice death would be much better to be fair. This is absolutely crazy

Very good experience with dental surgery in this hospital, friendly staff, very nice dental surgeon! Top!

Medical care, surgery and aftercare are sublime. The medical team is personally involved with / with the patient. Top!! A listening ear is nice to experience. Tip: the in-house route system may be improved. It has recently been changed but not improved. Ex: route 32 has become 173. From the main entrance it is now actually 10min plus walking.

Great hospital, a very good bariatric department. I was born again in Eindhoven on 10-10-2016. Good care and final inspection.

Just had yet another conversation with Mrs. Gordon (complaints officer) at the CZE in Eindhoven. I have no complaints about the operation that has been carried out superbly, but I do have complaints about the way in which the deductible of patients is handled.
I have telephone contact with the CZE outpatient surgery about a lipoma on my shoulder blade. I am asked how big the lipoma is. Since I am calling for work, my colleague has measured the lipoma and indicates that it is larger than 5 cm (diameter). An appointment is then made in the outpatient clinic for 16-12-2016. I ask the assistant about the deductible, as it is not life threatening and the year is almost over. Of course I don't want to kill my deductible in the last weeks of the year. Otherwise, I wait with the agreements until January 2017, so that I do not run the risk of getting my own risk twice. This was not a problem and would all fall under 2016. Now additional investigations are being initiated at the outpatient clinic following the appointment; a biopsy and an ultrasound. Again I come back to the surgeon, this time another and I am told that an MRI must also be made according to protocol. The other doctor forgot to bet. After the MRI I come back to the surgeon and an appointment is made to remove the lipoma. The appointment is made and I am scheduled and the lipoma is removed under local anesthetic. My sister takes time off to go with me, because I was told that because of the anesthesia at the shoulder blades, I was not allowed to drive a car afterwards. On the agreed date I am in the hospital and is called in. I enter the OR and a whole team is ready. The surgeon takes another look at my lipoma and tells me that she will not operate on it under local anesthesia. In other words; I am being expelled and still have to be helped under general anesthesia. Immediately to the anesthetist and the whole tune for anesthesia arranged, so that I am ready for the call under general anesthesia. ON March 21 I am helped by Dr. Nienhuijs and the lipoma is removed neatly.
What is my problem now; due to all the delay and incorrect planning of my operation, the operation under full anesthesia is 6 days outside the DBC that was created in December 2016, so I have to pay the deductible twice. 1 time for the treatments from 16-12-2016 to 15-03-2017 and 1 x for the surgery performed on 21-03-2017.
The following is declared by the CZE to my care provider: for the first DBC an amount of 418.90 euros, of which I have to pay 264.57 euros deductible.
For the second part I will be charged 500.32, of which I paid 331.66. In other words, I will be charged a total of 919.22 euros for the removal of my lipoma, of which I paid 596.23 euros, all because incorrect information is given at the CZE. Not fair. I initially turn to the health insurer, but they indicate that they only process the bills and cannot do anything about it. Then I turn to the CZE Complaints Committee, Ms. Gordon the complaints officer calls me back and I explain the whole story. To cut a long story short, CZE in this in the capacity of Mrs. Gordon indicates that CZE has acted correctly and that they cannot do anything with my complaint, so it is rejected. I have lost my deductible and learned an expensive lesson, but I hope everyone reading this story will pay close attention and learn from my experience. Once again I am satisfied with the procedure, but I find the entire process and the communication worthless.

What a bad hospital. 9/10 times no space for the car and the chance that the payment terminal works is very small. Do you also have pain complaints? Grab a paracetamol for 4 months, every day because in this hospital they do nothing about it.

What an inhumanly cold hospital this is, it is like a factory, all in a hurry and no time for a chat like before.

Catharina's interior is also sad, nothing human about it.

Clearly, the health insurers are in charge here, they calculate every dime.

I come to this hospital twice every three months! They are very skilled and very clear and friendly. You get the time to test all your questions. These are also answered by the doctors.

No, not everything always goes perfectly, but we try to help people as best we can. Work pressure is very high in healthcare, respect and commitment may be shown for this.

Goede hulp bij trauma verwerking bij het Barcelona drama door een rotte eindhovenaar en zijn rotte baas

I received a magomlending on 21-08-2018 and am currently 42 kg lighter than the 142 kg and I feel excellent. I should have done that much worse and I would be better off using insulin and tolbumin for diabetes.

Bad, they almost killed my mother when she only went to give birth ... she walked and with her health and left without a womb (they took it off without permission) and without health and with tuberculosis!
The treatment is as they see you, if you are angry and want to know what happens they do whatever it takes to calm down and if you mention the police more ... but the attention and knowledge is lousy!

I was asked if a trainee could be present at a womb examination, I said no sorry, I am almost naked ready for the examination and I hear that he must be present anyway because otherwise he will not learn ..
Employees at the registration / waiting room instead of neurology are incredibly rude and unprofessional Liesje the worst ... You come to a hospital not for fun you are or suspected to be sick, your visit costs a lot of money and then you become the most assisted inhumane employees. this does not have to do with the level of education, just no human feeling and little empathy, very bad for a (hospital) !!

Super good hospital, very friendly people in whatever department you come. Very often in this hospital and in different departments.
Everyone tries to help you as well as possible and in a friendly way. Professional treatment and a personal approach, really great!

Very bad experience with cancer treatment in this hospital, with death as a result, so many times ended up in this hospital and until 1 hour before his death the umpteenth doctor came to his bedside with the same words I don't know your father so I must first read in, we have not seen his own treating doctor once in 4 months, we will certainly be back at this very nasty time!

After playing football with one of our footballers to the emergency room, friendly help was given, taking pictures was super fast, the doctor was quick on the spot and after extensive explanation he was allowed to go to the plaster room, 6 weeks later everything was perfectly grown and he may still 2 weeks to physio and then he can again the soccer field on super thanks all for the good care.

Very nice and good hospital. Already had so many operations there and always takes good care of them. Despite the fact that the nursing staff is very busy always has time for questions or a chat. This hospital is number 1 for me

excellent care at the oncology department. Very involved and nice doctors and nurses.

Good hospital for both patients and visitors.
Unfortunately, far too few parking spaces ...

They did not eat much cheese from appointments or changes in times. Already gone three times in a year. 1x the person had taken time off and I came back for free.

Beautiful buildings clean everywhere. Unfortunately, long waiting time at first aid

At first I thought it was a good hospital but it feels like they don t take me seriously like I had a appointment and it was moved so a couple days ago I called for information I waited on the phone for 15 minutes maybe even longer and they hanged up (that I waited so long was not the problem but that they hang up) so I called back and they told me to call them back the next day (the woman on the phone was really rude I was quite shocked) so I did what they told me to do and they still didn t say anything. I found this so rude I hope that they will change there attitude because I m dying of pain. Although some people that work there were sweet and kind, I hope they will start to take patients and there pain seriously. At a hospital the care of a patient should be there number one priority so please do listen to your patients ills.

Bunch of fumbles. My brother had a terrible backache and said it was really serious. No, said the doctors at the Catharina, just an infection. My brother got prednisone for that. In no time he was paralyzed and eventually died in November.
It is unbelievable that an investigation is not initiated here!

you shoot roots in the ground if you have to wait at the first aid ...

Remarkable!!! Heartless colleague Astrid Janssen complained about a mentally ill patient who had been helped at the desk. She found her so awkward and annoying. She told colleagues that she was terrible! Working in healthcare is a heart and soul for patients.

Bar bad 2nd time emergency admission with an ignition up to 2x times from 9am in the morning have to wait until 21.30 !!!! If you are then told that it will not work today, you must stay sober until it is your turn. Never again with a surgical procedure to this hospital. I don't have any other outrageous words for it.

Clean hospital and beautiful too. From outside has waiting shed for the clients. They also have big parking area. When you enter the hospital you can see the reception right away, there are also men and women standing in front of the door to ask if you need an assistance or a help. They have 8 ( if Im not mistaken ) big and wide elevators. They also have signs or ( bordjes ) to show you the right way. This hospital has also canteen, bakery flower shop hair salon etc. If you have health insurance you dont have to pay. In Nederland it is must to have your own insurance otherwise you have to pay a lot.

Opzicht is a good hospital, but you often find doctors there. Not really nice when you are in a lot of pain, and a small group comes to visit a stationary and to see you (I was half naked in my bed). Last time someone in training learned to attach to me. Without my permission. I was in so much pain that I could not even see who did what on me. I really do not think so. The girl tried to attach several times, she could not, but kept trying (sticking with the needle). So I got extra pain extra long. I have not been coming to Catherina since this incident. These kids are not going to practice on me!

The only thing that is extremely bad is patient interest agency !!! In the last 2 years I have been to many different departments almost weekly and most of the time I was impressed by how everyone works.

Very good hospital. I went to ER and all the staff, nurses and the doctor were so helpful, caring, professional and kind hearted. They helped me to the best. I can't express my appreciation enough. Thank you.

Beautiful hospital. Doctors treat decently. Only I do miss the allergology department.

Good hospital, great doctors. Good communication. A "my catharina" where you can see your own reports and research results. Only at the pharmacy is it often a long wait.

Many excellent specialists and professional staff who help you.

A hospital is never nice but here really great and certainly the staff mvg Henk

Walter van Litsenburg of Lung Department said the virus would disappear by itself in the summer due to heat. Because of him I have lost large amounts of money in my business decisions. That will be a lawsuit.

Don't ask me to make a complaint, this is my complaint. Please mention this to him.

Is a good academic hospital and has expanded well in recent years

If you have an appointment at the doctor's post, they leave other cases. What is the point of making an appointment !!

Very modern and roomy hospital. Friendly reception. Nurses seem very patient and service minded. Overall an excellent experience and as far as I can tell from this visit, a great hospital.

If I could give a 0 I would certainly have done this. Worthless first aid. And let people go ahead while you are broken by the pain. Terrible that you deal with people in pain that way. Do something about your humanity. You must be ashamed of you !!!

Super hospital. Often located ... But hope not to have to come anymore.

Very good medical and nursing care. Super friendly despite language barrier. I would like that in German hospitals too.

Excellent care only shame information sharing is still so difficult.

Unbelievably bad hospital, my mother finally got an appointment after months for an operation on the kidneys. Eventually I went there with my mother and after 5 hours waiting someone comes to us to say that the operation is canceled and that we have to wait at least another month !! I do not advise anyone to go to this hospital, you never know what to expect, this does not make sense.

Perfect hospital in all respects, medical, atmosphere and interior

very clean toilets. during my visit to my mother in law spent half an hour on the toilet. I would rather listen to my own cacophony than to hear that sick person
