a month agoIf you want to waste a lot of your life's time, you should get treated here. First appointment cancelled 2 days in advance due to snowfall 2nd appointment 3 weeks later wasn't in the computer correctly, so I had to go home again. Today I'm at the pharmacy and the prescription has been sent to the wrong pharmacy. They really can't do anything at all when it comes to planning and organization.

a month agoI was under treatment at the Bergman for 4 years, stating all that time that I was convinced my symptoms were caused by endometriosis. I was never really taken seriously! Now, somewhere else, after 2 ultrasounds, it is immediately clear that there is indeed clear endometriosis and adenomyosis present. Hopefully, in the future, they will listen to the person better.

a month agoPoor communication and disregard for medical urgency Very disappointed with the working methods of Bergman Vrouw Hilversum. Despite a referral from the GP for a second opinion/transfer due to medical errors elsewhere, it takes well over a month before a substantive response is received at all. This only happened after I threatened to take action myself. Although my GP indicated urgency, this is unceremoniously downgraded to 'regular care' with a waiting time of 6 months. They show no flexibility or understanding whatsoever for patients who need acute care to be able to return to work. The promised quick response times are not met at all. Not recommended if you are looking for decisive care.
