"Good hospital they have an infatuation with the best place to work award they got. I can tell you they have many unhappy employees. They accept Tricare insurance which is good and medicare/medicade. They do a good job most of the time. Their nurses are sub par for such an expensive hospital."

"Good hospital with excellent doctors and nurses really good facilities prices very very expensive. What would’ve cost us €750 outside of the hospital we paid over €1500. However, on a Saturday weekend and under time pressure they did wonderful and we appreciate them."

"At day surgery Dr. Filippos Giannoulis released impingements on my ulnar nerve. I entered the operating theatre at 2 pm in excruciating pain and walked out pain-free to fly home at 5 pm. Dr. Giannoulis and all his assistants were superb. A professional and friendly experience from start to finish. Thank you."

"I had an excellent experience at Hygeia Hospital. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. The doctors were highly skilled and attentive, taking the time to explain every detail clearly and ensure I felt comfortable and informed throughout my treatment. The nursing staff were equally exceptional—supportive, patient, and always ready to assist with a warm and reassuring attitude. The hospital itself was spotless, modern, and very well organized. Everything ran smoothly, and the level of coordination between departments made the whole process efficient and stress-free. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the care I received and would highly recommend Hygeia Hospital to anyone seeking top-quality medical services in a professional and caring environment."
