a week agoI visited Bergman Clinics in Hilversum for a consultation with Dr. Van der Lei for a second opinion regarding my eyelid and also for a buttock correction. When making the appointment, it was not indicated that Dr. Van der Lei does not perform buttock corrections, which meant unnecessary time and travel for me. I found the consultation itself disappointing. The conversation proceeded quickly and came across as curt. I did not feel that my situation was truly being listened to, even though I came with a specific complication following a previous procedure. A general solution was mainly proposed (forehead lift), which in my opinion does not align with my problem. When I pointed this out, little attention was paid to it. Additionally, I noticed that other patients were given more time, while my consultation was concluded quite quickly. This gave me the feeling that there was little attention paid to my situation. All in all, I did not feel taken seriously and had expected more involvement and professionalism given his expertise!

a month agoGood doctors. But unfortunately, they're not reachable if you have a question or want to change your appointment. Appointments aren't scheduled in consultation as they should be.

3 months agoAt my appointment, I ended up sitting in the waiting room for almost two hours. Everything was running late. I felt listened to. However, the response I received made it clear that I hadn't been listened to at all. And the doctor's conclusion was that I should just keep muddling through and continue taking a lot of antibiotics, which are bad for my liver and kidneys. This is calling itself a women's clinic... It's pathetic...
