The check-in receptions need to speak and be polite. The check out reception was nice.

Personally I already have 100 percent confidence in the staff and my doctor. Above the excellent care I am as appreciative of the empathy towards myself and other patients i have witnessed.

Well, the way this doctor concluded my diagnosis in his limited understanding of the problem was and knowledge, was one way to say I don't know what's going on, and I don't have a clue, to say to somebody that the problem is in my Head is very disappointed I guess the health system has become to keep people sick and dependant of pills. I guess they just have to repeat what they are told in the school, get an A, to be a good repeaters, and then somebody will say " Ok you are ready for the health system" For your information, I'll get help in another country, with better doctors

Doctor Albrecht was fantastic. He took a holistic approach which I was very happy to experience. He was also cautious, which I really appreciate. He's doing more testing and will get back with me in a week. I have a lot of respect for him.
