With ALAT 7715, ASAT 4006 I had to wait for a non-Hepatitis test results to come back first, before he decided to test my blood for Hep. A. (A huisartsen post had to call me on Sunday to literally check if I am alive.) In addition to that, after several months of a positive recovery trend, he commented a sudden rise of the liver function blood markers as "the curation goes well". I had to insist on referencing me to a gastroenterologist. It all ended with a biopsy of my liver... Those two fails of Dr Stinissen do make an impression that there is some lack of expertise on diagnostics of and recovery process from a highly infectious desease like Hepatitis A.

I've been quite sick and asked the 24 hour medical team if there was something they could suggest. Dismissive Rude is the only way I can describe them! FYI be aware maps shows them open 24 hours but the shop with the meds does not open until noon. Would have been a easy 5 stars but I waited 40 min for them to open after they said come on over when I called at 11am The staff when opened were great they suggested two medications and advice on how to use EXCELLENT-very friendly even though 30 people rushed in at noon But if you need medical care from staff next door in same space do yourself a favor and go elsewhere snobby rude pricks reside there sadly. It's a shame both businesses located in same space

DOUBLE PLUS GOOD…read more (This review is for AMSTERDAM CENTRAL PHARMACY) If you have frequented pharmacies in the UK, France, America, Italy, Australia, Canada, and indeed other places you will feel at home. Amsterdam Central Pharmacy is a "well-stocked medicine shop" (for cough drops, aspirin, pain relieving gel, shampoo, dandruff treatments, nail clippers, toothbrushes and more). Many "pharmacies" is the Netherlands are just "medicine shops" or a "pharmacy lite" What many pharmacies in the Netherlands are prescription drug dispensaries. (Be warned: like most European countries, one cannot show a foreign prescription or pill bottle to get pharmaceuticals. Customers from Africa, Asia, many countries in South America and other regions will be surprised!) The store is well laid out and well stocked. You should be prepared to wait at times: its location ----- next to a doctor's office and in a mainline train station -----mean there are often lines. Waits shouldn't be more than 10 - 12 minutes. My first go to? Amsterdam Central Pharmacy. Please note that like many stores in The Netherlands and the rest of Europe at opening times are off by as much as 90 minutes. Give yourself plenty of time to be on the safe side!

Not only is the actual medical care in the Netherlands sub-par; their billing practices and customer service are some of the worst in the world....

I will be traumatize for the rest of my life because of this hospital. My experience regarding the gynecology department they don't believe in any accountability, honesty, integrity or humanity regarding their patients. I was treated here years ago and never recovered from the unethical experience I had with them. As far as office experience, please keep in mind they don't keep on file unethical behavior among the doctors and they will deny, discredit and dismiss the patient to cover their back. Well as far as I am concerned that was my personal experience. I ask if the experience would be documented and kept on file and they said no. I was treated completely inhumane. I don't believe every department is like this but it was definitely my experience with their gynecologist team and department. After they permanently damaged my body I went to another department that demonstrated much more respect and integrity and some form of professionalism in contrast to the gynecology department.

When I moved to Amsterdam from London my relocation agent had enrolled me at this health center for…read moremy GP. So never having a real say in who I wanted my GP to be I could not have been happier with the choice made by my agent. It has now been over 5 years and I have heard many of my friends complain about the healthcare in the Netherlands. Well ladies and gents, if you want: - to be listened too -don't want absurd waiting times for appointments - don't want to feel rushed during your appointment - action taken on your behave - feel like you are being taken seriously Then this is your place! I can't speak for all the GP's there but my GP Dr. Linnebank is a trooper. To give you all a clear example: I fell down the stairs at work and couldn't put down my foot anymore. The first aid consultants at work had urged me to go to the hospital or see my GP. So I called the Center the assistant was super understanding and soothing. She listened to my story and then told me to come over as soon as I could even though the Dr. was busy and my fall wasn't exactly live threatening she would make sure that he would see me quickly in between. When I got there (carried in by my cab driver ;) )She sat me down and called my GP who was in another appointment. After a short wait he finished his appointment and helped me straight away even though the waiting room was full. He assessed my foot and body to make sure I didn't have any other injuries. After which he concluded that he wanted me to go to the hospital, so he called the hospital himself to make sure they knew I was coming and could be helped quickly. About 4 weeks after all this I went back to see my GP as my foot wasn't getting any better. If any it was getting worse and I couldn't stand on it. Again I was helped quick. My GP concluded that he didn't agree with the specialists in the hospital and wanted me to go and see the specialist again. He picked up the phone himself and called the specialist directly in the hospital. The specialist argued that I just need to see a fysio but this answer wasn't good enough. My GP insisted that they have to reassess and a couple days later I have an appointment again. Now for Dutch standards this kind of personally help is rare and it is what sets this health-center apart from other GP offices. Only negative: the main entrance is not accessible by car, so in this case and not being able to walk was a bit of an issue.
