"The best hospital - by far - in Greece! Exceptional doctors, attentive, kind, smiling, caring and professional staff, exceptional food, state-of-the-art facilities. Thank you!"

"Good doctors, good staff, but wait for 3 plus hours for an ambulance car for my mom with dementia, just unacceptable. It should be much faster than that."

"Went in for what turned out to be food poisoning. They gave me medication but the discharge time took FOREVER. +1 star for the good kitty"

"Very good doctors, terrible nurse staff with very bad behaviour, poor to non existent bedside manners, hurtful and disrespectful to an elderly woman. There was a cockroach running in the hall which the cleaning crew completely ignored. Our mom was physically and mentally abused."

"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."
