in the last weekI had multiple appointments at Bergman, paying €50 per consultation each time. During my last appointment with Dr. Melenhorst, I had had enough. He indicated in a very unfriendly manner that he did not want to start the treatment, and I felt literally shown the door. I appreciate honesty, but respect and professionalism should not be lacking. A very disappointing experience. Never again Bergman Clinics for me!

3 weeks agoIt's a shame that the only solution for pelvic floor problems is pelvic floor physiotherapy, which is unaffordable and not reimbursed... a waste of your time.

3 weeks agoI visited Bergman Clinic in Hilversum today. What a wonderful experience! Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. The proctologist and his assistant were both very nice and really took the time for me. I felt at ease and well cared for. Very satisfied with the personal and professional approach. Highly recommended!
