Charité, Laboratory for Experimental Oncology Review

Big name, very friendly staff, but I don't find the big professors very profound in their medical treatment

Emergency room is one of the worst in Berlin. One lets a pregnant woman wait with pain for 7 hours. In a treatment room, the doctors have opened ordered pizza! Do not go there

We have been waiting in the emergency room for 8 hours, when we asked how long it will take, other patients who have been waiting for 14 hours also wanted to know then the question was superfluous. Very unfriendly and incompetent staff. Even a star is too much of a good thing.

I saw some review about long waiting time before I went there, I was a little bit worried and even brought my laptop there...Surprisingly it was pretty fast, I just waited about 10 -15 min and then the staff call me in. They were also very friendly. The doctor was also one of the best doctor I've ever met. Very professional and patient. The best hospital in germany. Actually the only hospital I went in Germany.

Something massive medicine, it seems to me. Some call it so, others so. But the area is very beautiful and has a lively historical development behind it. Important doctors such as Virchow, Koch, Behring, Sauerbruch and others have worked here and made significant progress in medicine. The new high-rise building was overdue, the old one was already ailing.

I was in neurology for 1 night. I arrived in the middle of the night and the welcome was very fine. Doctors and al the staff were kind, available, friendly and they really try to create a nice athmosphere. They seems all happy to switch in english and that enjoyed me a lot. I definitively recommend this hospital, in particular if you are looking for english speaker doctors.

The doctors, staff and nurses treated me very kindly and looked after me. The operation was very successful. Despite the lack of staff, everyone was very friendly and humane with me. Thanks a lot for this!

The positive reviews probably come from the staff themselves, who should rather take care of the sick rather than hang out in front of the computer .....

The sleep laboratory is crap 10. After I got an appointment to pick up a sleep control device and waited 3 months to pick it up, I would be canceled the day before and should report to another department where I can only go if I can nothing chronic or with the heart, which was explained to me after 2 weeks and thus dozens of attempts to call. When I call the previous department, nothing is responded to and I hear private conversations between other patents and doctors or something and when I was supposed to answer it was simply hung up. The next time I tried, I was dressed up after I gave criticism and was put on again. So I can advise against the sleep laboratory from the staff.

Pleasant doctors, in general, German medicine does not always correspond to its image

Great event space next to the medical history museum

Thank you and I will never forget what you gave me and thank you again

I am a patient there since my childhood there is nothing better all the medical specialists are very good and on the stations you can feel well

Some long waits on Whit Monday in the emergency room.
But for it highly qualified doctors. Also on the holiday very friendly.

If this is not possible at all, they have had to wait 12 (!) Hours in the emergency room, whereby the sick person has already been admitted with an RTW.

There is absolute chaos in the waiting rooms, starting with homeless people who are constantly squatting people without having to tell the gentlemen that after the treatment you can possibly go ...
Followed by the ignorance of how many patients are coming to you or what the next steps are.
All in all really not really suitable for "quick" help ....

However, there is a star plus, because if you ever catch a specialist (this happens every 4 to 6 hours), he is fit and friendly.

Never go to the emergency room here unless you're literally dying.... otherwise you will be sent on an endless bureaucratic loop from office to office until you feel that you actually need to be hospitalized for sheer frustration at the rude and incompetent staff!

I was in a building, it was probably still on the calendar in 1950. That was not possible.

Dreadful non-emergency but necessary holiday care. Kann es absolut nicht empfehlen. Also insanely insanely expensive, and the doctor (after a very long wait) was openly rude

I was admitted because my friend called the ambulance. Then I woke up in the hospital corridor. Had no glasses on (at -8,5dpt on both eyes) could not see anything and was confused. In the hospital, the ambulance help only meant: "Do not be so girl come awake."
My friend was told to pick me up in the morning next day.
However, I was driven home after a few hours with the ambulance service Barefoot with a thin T-shirt and a short pants at a felt 6 degrees.
Above all, it is not usual to dismiss a suicide attempt according to my family doctor.

One of the best boss doctor in the world.
I could not speak anymore.
With a few small operations, I can talk and sing well again.
A great team.
Thank you Nawka

Underpaid and overwhelmed. Without the permission of the patients, students are used for the conduct of operations. My girlfriend casually noticed and denied the operation when she heard the conversation of the Amenstress doctors!

I am happy with the treatment of my recurring bowel problems.
It is better than the previous No .2017.
I also got my polamidon immediately this time.

I was bleeding in the emergency room, was clearly an emergency and had to wait three (!) Hours for an initial assessment. Definitely wrongly organized - potential upwards.

Worst Worst Worst Hospital Ever...
I am working in an company so can't go to normal clinics in weekdays, I had Severe cough and many time had blood in it so I went to the emergency.
The person(calling him doctor is an insult to the profession) in emergency room was so rude and racist.
The worst thing though, he mentioned that I should come to a hospital only if I womit 3 liters of blood.
Seriously, should he call himself a doctor?
He straight away told he won't speak in english and I should learn German language before coming to a German hospital.
There was patients in waiting area for atleast 4-5 hrs just waiting to get diagonosed for normal health issues.
I would suggest to not visit this hospital especially for non-EU citizens.

I needed pediatric first aid for my daughter. The service was excellent both from a medical and human point of view. After an hour there were already blood results. The doctors all worked to communicate with me in English simply and patiently and I was able to understand the clinical situation perfectly. The environment helps the patients a lot, all the doctors are smiling, the hospital is welcoming with play areas that remind the little gardens.

I do not give this so called "Hospital" a star as there is not a zero as an option. Personnel's, nurses and doctor are the rudest people in Europe. They watched too many documentaries of WWII. This " Charite dump consortion" could take lessons of German cars salesmen to improve their image and public relations between patients and "professionals. My nurse took blood from my arm without a rubber glove, using a large needle, hardly seen any more in modern hospitals and to top it off the nurse started yelling because I moved my arm and blood was all over the table in contact with unprotected surfaces. Should have enquires of victims in NETFLIX. Shame on directors, shame administrative personnel, shame on nurses and shame on doctors.

Nobody forces the med. Personnel to take up the profession of doctor. Keep your eyes open when choosing a career!

As a relative of a seriously ill patient, I was treated as underground as the patient herself. Empathy and competence towards the patient was zero. (I worked in the health sector myself for years and know the processes).




My relatives and I will no longer enter this house anyway. Fortunately, we know where we can go in an EMERGENCY to receive professional treatment.

The staff is of unfailing kindness and the focus is only on the patients

Totally unfriendly staff !! I felt like a piece of meat. I never want to go there again!

I cannot confirm one point of criticism. With a pronounced hospital phobia, it was the most important thing for me to have the best and strongest medical team for my little son in the back. Last Friday it was time, with strong, regular contractions, we arrived in the clinic with bags and packs, where we were immediately welcomed in a friendly, relaxed and full manner. We could move into our delivery room within 20 minutes and got a midwife at our side. The doctors on duty also introduced themselves. 4.5 hours later I had my completely natural baby (no drip, no PDA) on my chest. We had decided on the outpatient admission and were therefore allowed to enjoy our family happiness in the delivery room for a few hours before we were allowed to go home together after all medical examinations. Only to be recommended to all expectant parents.

Just bad compared to other hospitals in Berlin. In particular, Mr. Polzin should rather not be let go of the patients - competence in dealing with patients and relatives is more than underground.

You should first think about which profession you want to do. Because obviously the lady who examined me during the emergency room at night didn't feel like looking after me. I have never been handled like this by a doctor, even though I was the only patient and the last one was probably an hour earlier.
Not just that she spoke to me in a PATHY tone. I was also made aware of why I do not come for it during the day ???
Hello because I have complaints now!?!
Next time I will wait until the general practitioners open on Mondays.

1 address in the city. Good dream and people have the idea. Also staff are people !!

Medicine is on top anyway. One of the largest university clinics in Europe is very interesting both as the oldest Berlin hospital, historically and structurally, and in terms of medical fixtures. Like a small town with its own street name. Modern meets old substance (where there is still much to be done).

I wanted to lose a word here about the food. At station 114 - with a wonderful view over Berlin - it was absolutely worth its 5 stars. Kudos to chefs and kitchen!

WHY doesn't it just run smoothly and you always bring so much resistance to the patient instead of implementing the service idea in friendliness ???
That would make life easier for everyone !!!

Expect waiting more than 2-3 hours if you came with an injury

I will not write anything about the quality of services of those places that are located on the territory of this complex. My review is about the general impression of architecture, appearance and emotions that all this things caused in me. Charite is a clinical complex located in four districts of Berlin, and I was at one that is near the railway station by the river Spree: A very large fenced area on the territory of which there are many old buildings of different orientations. These are just hospitals, and buildings of individual medical specialties with laboratories, and administrative building, and, as I understand, there is a university is here too. All buildings are with beautiful old architecture. Sometimes quiet quickie work was encountered, such as the ugly painting of some walls, after which the color difference looked ridiculous. But overall, the complex left a very pleasant aesthetic impression.

I came from Spain for a preliminary examination for the knee prosthesis surgery. The senior doctor was very competent and friendly. The diagnosis was the same as in Spain. It has to be operated on. I'll be back in Berlin for an operation in just 1.5 weeks. So far, I can highly recommend the clinic.

A very large range of services with always interested doctors and friendly nursing staff are available here at all times. I have been here for several years in care and feel very well cared for.

The worst thing that can happen to you is waiting hours up to 4 hours. Unless they bring you in an ambulance, they will serve you. Waiting room below normal even water you won't drink a disaster

I have been there 12 times by dr. G. Schmidt operates because I have a cleft lip

The assessment of Sangat Gobind Singh speaks for itself with regard to the level of education ...: / Was probably never really sick the 'good guy' and therefore had zero experience with the doctors here at the Mitte location. "If you have no idea, you'd better just hold the ..." (Quote from a German comedian)

Great advice, good stay, nice people. Thank you so much !!!!!

Already unbelievably unfriendly received by the lady with the short, dark hair when she received the emergency room. Nurses and nurses not empathic at all, doctor rather uninterested.

I have been undergoing 4 weeks of gastro-enterology and another 4 weeks of nephrology since mid-2015. I have been treated, treated, cared for and finally cured. I am nevertheless invited to the aftercare at regular intervals. For me, there is no clinic that deals with patients in a more sensitive, responsible and competent way. this applies from the learning sisters and nurses to the senior physician. By the way: I AM NOT A PRIVATE PATIENT !!!

So much knowledge and history yesterday and so poorly organized and educated today.

No communication between patient and doctor. No agreement for subsequent treatment. Mrt-Cd was sent "already" after 14 days on request. I did not have a medical letter after 1 month stay. But the bill was available in time. All in all. The potential exists, but is implemented bumbling.

The best hospital I know. Here almost the best doctors in the country are gathered in all areas. It is super supplied and since the renovation is the stay there again more pleasant.

Very good experiences with the treatments, the diagnostics and the doctors as well as with the staff.

Experience with the rescue center was really borderline. Waiting times are accepted but incompetent, inhuman doctors do not go at all.

You saved my nephew, the life.
Thank you for everything !!

I have heard a lot about this hospital and am surprised what all there is there

This happened several years ago. In the ER, they couldn't figure out that I had an appendicitis. I waited for over 5hr and was send home. They made me feel like I was wasting their time. The person in registration actually told me that my condition is not serious and that I should shut up and wait. Thank god I went to a different hospital where they were able to diagnose and treat my critical condition.

I like this place well I am fascinated by this place full of history and tradition never has a place so interressiert me

Unacceptable. Producing a report on the pollutant burden for the provincial government of Berlin, despite repeated indications of incomparable report conditions. The leader also suggests that the elected representative of Berlin has a lack of causality, even though the real threat context could not be investigated for ethical reasons. Anything but serious.

My daughter should come to the birth initiation. Thank goodness they start blowing themselves. Waiting for a bed for hours. Very unfriendly midwives do not understand the pain of a woman who is expecting her first child. We were left alone. And just ignored us until my collar burst. Then there was a delivery room for her. So definitely not again.

If you don't let my Denki come to Serbia, I'll cry for you

Foreigners beware! Was taken by ambulance after an accident to charite, was not my choice. The administration people barely speak English and pushed me to pre-pay for the tratement as the only option without checking with my travel insurance or presenting other possible options.
Medical staff is excellent with the exception of a couple of very rude nurses (the old German ladies).
The low stars thus only because of the admin staff who definitely could have better informed me about procedures and pricing in Germany.

The doctors and nurses in the emergency room and floor 114B seem to be competent and are very nice. The atmosphere is very good. The rooms are modern, with internet and TV. One cannot say this from part 113B: unfriendly and cold. TV defective, internet messing around, toilet flushing only works if you know trick 17. Otherwise: The food is sometimes a disaster.

I had an appointment at 10:30 and was made to wait for 4 hours without notification. Just as with other German institutions you will find some people that do not treat foreigners well and do not respect their time. The quality of the doctors, the facilities, and after operation care was world class. However, we all paying patients and we should be treated equally and fairly. Thoroughly disappointed.

Awesome hospital. So far the best I know. So many other hospitals can take an example.

Excellent hospital that provides medical services for all ages and children with special disabilities with excellent medical and nursing staff

Choosing this hospital is waiting for death.
From early in the morning to the afternoon, I put a tube in my hand and waited for the doctor. There was no way to eat breakfast and lunch, and I was hungry and sick! What's more, it's already uncomfortable, it's torture!

Had a very bad experience. My friend had a broken skin that was supposed to be fixed. After the operation, her esophagus and stomach were paralyzed. Different information about the course of the operation was given. Documents disappeared before the operation. The only thing that was really great were the nurses there !!!!!

Fifty years ago in this hospital was admited my father. Qualified equipe of doctors and a very good nurse service

Very good doctors and friendly staff. Highly recommended!!!

The nursing staff is friendly, but the resident doctors don't want to get their 'fingers' dirty, I had the impression. Of course, this only disturbs the patient. I got to know very unfriendly, annoyed and unmotivated doctors here and for this reason I will prefer every other hospital to this facility. Perhaps the budding assistant doctors should consider switching to research if empathy tends towards social decompensation.

Medical anyway on top. One of the largest university hospitals in Europe and very interesting as the oldest Berlin hospital historically both structurally and in terms of the medical luminaries. Like a small town with own street names. Modern meets old substance (where there is still much to do).

The best clinic! No one could help, but here the doctors helped, thanks a lot!

They have not cared about the patients for a long time.

Nursing staff very good! But unfortunately they don't make the announcements. Resident physician with ZERO (professional and social) competence made a diagnosis that was (and still is) completely absurd.
A senior doctor who was never present did not question anything.
