Super nice people! Very patient and helpful, too, and the nurse practitioners are very thorough…read more The facilities are very clean and there's a ton of cookies and drinks to keep you feeling well. They have forms in English, btw. I felt really appreciated, safe and grateful throughout the whole process. The process is very different from the one I went through in the US. First you must call the 0800 number to be screened. If all goes well you make an appointment so they can take blood samples and further interview you to ensure you're eligible to donate. If all that goes well you get a letter telling you you can donate within 2 weeks. I think it took about 1.5 months from my initial call till I got my letter. Totally worth it to help save lives :)

From the owner: Medisch Centrum Jan van Goyen is een behandelcentrum met 11 verschillende specialismen. U kunt bij…read moreons rekenen op hoogwaardige zorg waarbij u centraal staat. Zonder lange wachtlijsten. Het merendeel van de behandelingen kunt u gewoon declareren bij uw zorgverzekeraar. Dankzij de unieke ligging zijn we een begrip in Amsterdam; duizenden patiënten vinden jaarlijks hun weg naar onze fraaie gebouwen in Oud-Zuid. De specialisten in het medisch centrum werken multidisciplinair. Dit betekent dat meerdere specialisten naar een aandoening of klacht kijken om zo tot de beste behandeling te komen. Hierdoor is de hoogst denkbare vorm van verzekerde zorg mogelijk, zowel op medisch gebied als in een efficiënte infrastructuur. Onze specialisten behandelen zonder arts-assistenten, snel, goed en persoonlijk. Zij weten wie ze opereren, wat een patiënt wil en behandelen die patiënt zoals zij zelf behandeld willen worden. Snel, vriendelijk en professioneel.

The care, the surgeon, everything is FAR BETTER than in the USA. I had a major medical emergency…read moreand we were astonished at how the medical professionals assessed me before they'd look at or talk about our insurance!! The protocol requires the patient to be in-patient until clearly ready to go home. Recovery was excellent. Far lower cost to our insurance company. Surgeon trained in the US. Didn't want to practice there because the actual care is so far superior in The Netherlands.

A bit daunting and confusing finding where you need to go so get there early. Even earlier if you don't spreekt Nederlands.

I won't be able to give a fair review yet on this hospital until I have a few more meetings with…read morethem. So for now, I will just grade them in the middle. One of my doctors referred me to VU to with my issue because supposedly they are more experience in that area, compared to other hospitals. So we will see what steps they will take or if I will get the run around in a month here too. The doctor I encountered here spent an extensive time period with me in discussing my medical case, so hopefully after she reviews my medical records, I won't experience any nonsense, and then I can proceed to receiving some serious treatment asap. The infrastructure of the hospital reminds me somewhat of UCLA, which appears to be a plus on the surface. I really hate that I did not get surgery here or at St. Lucas, because then I would not be in this predicament. Well I am praying that I can get some real results done here, because chronic pain is not a pleasant situation to be in. If you intend on getting surgery or any serious diagnosis, then I would by past half of the hospitals in Amsterdam, and stop in here first. So you can walk in and come out safe.
