Hip replacement

I was at St Mary's Hospital in May and had a new hip joint fitted. Thank you to the surgeon, I am very pleased.
I felt particularly well cared for on the Camillus ward, I was well looked after, all the nurses and nursing staff are very friendly and always helpful with a smile, I never felt annoyed or overwhelmed, the atmosphere was very friendly and good. Any questions I had were fully answered.
The food was always delicious, the necessary rehabilitation was perfectly organised by social services. Thank you very much for this hospital experience.

shoulder surgery

I had shoulder surgery for the second time. Because of my age and previous illnesses, I was very afraid of anaesthesia. But the surgery went very well without any side effects. The team led by Prof. Dr Jaeger and Prof. Dr Meyer provided me with excellent service and advice.
I would especially like to thank the pain nurse, who attended to me very sensitively and professionally immediately after waking up in the ward and on the ward.
This made me feel very comfortable during my second stay at St Mary's Hospital (Mülheim am Ruhr).
Regards, Christa P.

orthopaedic surgery

Excellent orthopaedic service from Dr med. Gruber, Prof Yeager and the entire medical team:
(1) Excellent preparation with informed consent, regardless of the surgical procedure planned in advance.
(2) Easy access to hospital logistics, internet, etc.
(3) Proper and friendly team environment.
(4) Planned total hip replacement using a specialised surgical procedure with approach through the lateral muscles.
(5) Post-operative care was performed to a high standard.
However, the food and service could be improved.
All in all, top marks for medical services. Thank you very much!
