Urology and nephrology clinics in Germany

Already from the entrance to the clinic, I realized that there is excellent service here. Friendly staff works in all departments. You did not have to wait long for preliminary examinations. Despite the size of this hospital, you do not feel lost. Doctors are in no hurry and are very accurate, the food is also good, the wards in ZOM2 are first class 🙂 I will certainly return to this hospital for treatment at any time.

Today we had a very good experience!

Thanks to the whole team!

My father is in the aforementioned department. Real high class! Super team, calm, confident and always trying to make the patient’s stay as comfortable as possible. Since my father was in 5 clinics in the last 12 months, I must say that we could not make a better choice than the treatment in this hospital.

We were half an hour forgotten in the children’s hospital in the waiting area for children with infectious diseases, and then we had to wait another two hours. The waiting process is really long. Nevertheless, the doctor was good and competent.

The hospital is excellent, the treatment and the medical staff are excellent too. I judge by my own experience! Thank s to the all hospital’s staff!!!

Everything is organized very cool. I cannot believe that this is all for the taxpayers’ money. But in other hand, it is very expensive. Apparently, a good service costs so much. We came here to do an operation to remove a malignant tumor in our daughter. Were very pleased with the service. It is said that the pediatric oncology department in this clinic is, if not the best, then one of those.

I was undergoing treatment in the Nuclear Medicine Department in November / December 2018. I have a very good experience. Here you will be treated politely, they will explain everything and accompany you during the examination! I was treated by 4 different doctors, and everyone was competent and inspired confidence. Thank you very much! In addition, the therapy worked perfectly! You are cool!

I spent 4 bed-days in neurology. I must say that the doctors and nurses here are doing an excellent job. I mean that all the staff with whom I spoke were very pleasant and courteous. The doctor in the emergency room (night shift) was very polite and competent.

Competent doctors, impeccable care in all respects (urology).

We made a decision that I should give birth to our daughter in the university hospital. We were very impressed with midwives, nurses, and doctors. The team of midwives is incredibly well chosen, it consists of younger as well as more experienced midwives, all of whom are highly professional and all of them are very knowledgeable. We have never seen such a good working team as in the delivery room at the University of Cologne! As well, the care was perfect in the neonatal ward! Super good nurses and midwives gave advice: how to breastfeed, how to hold the baby in the arms, do up the baby, and so on.

We are very excited! We highly recommend this hospital!

I would thus like to thank you for the excellent planning and execution of my surgery – from the reception, the excellent care and the medical support. From the very beginning, I was helped to deal with my fears and anxieties….

I had surgery on Tuesday for a herniated disc and I have to say – the care was top notch, I was helped to overcome my fears. The nursing staff were very friendly and helpful, it felt like I was in safe hands. Thank you to the clinic.

Thank you to Dr. Kraemer and especially Dr. Stadtler. At no other hospital have we felt so much in good hands. Here they really tried to make an accurate diagnosis. Other hospitals didn’t take the patient’s condition seriously, but here they did. Something was discovered that no one had found before because no effort was made. I have great respect for the doctors and sincere gratitude. The faith to keep fighting was born here. Thank you again.

Dear team at the Obesity Clinic,
I would like to say a huge thank you for the fantastic support on the way to my sleeve gastrectomy surgery. I was fully informed, supported and ultimately had a successful surgery. Dr. Nagel personally accompanied me, helped me make decisions and was always there for me. In addition to being highly competent, I felt seen as a person. The post-operative follow-up was excellent as well. The pain was minimal, thanks to excellent anesthesia, I was back on my feet quickly. It has changed my life for the better. Thank you!

I had surgery in the ENT department, spent 4 nights in the hospital and came in several times as an outpatient for pre- and post-op check-ups. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the organization was a disaster. I have never waited so long and so often. Processes, scheduling and appointment scheduling need to be streamlined immediately.

Had radiation therapy at the Alfried Krupp Clinic in Rüttenscheid. Whether it will help – time will tell. The organization was excellent, there was almost no waiting. The whole team – whether medical specialists or doctors – were incredibly friendly and competent. Highly recommended!

I recently underwent bariatric surgery at the Alfried Krupp Hospital in Essen and am completely satisfied with my experience. From the first consultation to the post-operative care, the entire team was extremely professional and caring. The doctors took a lot of time to answer all my questions and give me confidence. The staff were excellent – always friendly, attentive and willing to help. Modern facilities and high hygiene standard. Would totally recommend this hospital and am grateful for the excellent care.

I was treated at the Clinic of Orthopedics and Special Orthopedic Surgery (anterior cruciate ligament plastic surgery and repair of the meniscus in the right knee). I am very pleased, the doctors performed everything very carefully both during the preliminary diagnosis and during the actual operation. And, of course, during the subsequent treatment during the subsequent inpatient stay, they worked very well and were very friendly. The nurses in the ward were very pleasant and friendly, but due to the large number of patients, sometimes I had to wait longer.

It is always difficult to evaluate the whole hospital. But in the 2C department, where I once was treated, the staff was very pleasant and the wards are good. Besides, I always got answers to all my questions.

In January 2018, I had an aneurysm. My family doctor immediately ordered me to Alfred Krupp Hospital (Radiology and Neuroradiology Department). A week later, I was already discharged from hospital! The first-class doctors prepared me very professionally before the operation (this reduced my excitement). Very friendly and caring nurses! The food was at a good level. Even in the Secretariat, they helped me quickly and easily with my questions.

This is one of the best hospitals nearby. The staff is very nice and friendly – the doctors are absolutely competent. Small organizational deficiencies are likely due to a lack of staff in general.

At the beginning of the year, I had to have a kidney surgery, and I would like to thank the team of doctors and nurses for their excellent work!

A very high level and quality of medicine in the clinic. The doctor is competent. They took an extra charge for a single ward. I liked conditions of the clinic, everything is thought out to the last detail.

I was hospitalized for two weeks. After the operation (cornea transplantation), during which I was provided with excellent medical care, the nurses came to give me eye drops and were always available if I had any difficulties. Service, food, everything was very good and elegant.

The best urological clinic! I had 4 surgeries here (3 surgeries to remove stones from the left kidney and one small intervention to move the kidney tract), the staff took care of me very well. I am very pleased with everything that this clinic has.

I was in this hospital for 16 days, I’m just full of praise. All staff works at the highest level. I had kidney cancer. Surgery and postoperative care (very difficult) were better than I expected. For me, the clinic deserves the best rating. I always recommend it!

Three years ago, I went to the urology clinic, and I was very well hosted.

I underwent a surgery. Everything was good, they competently took care of me. Many thanks to my doctors, I highly recommend this clinic.

They provide an excellent care in all areas, be it medical or service. Only competent doctors, from preliminary consultation to surgery and subsequent treatment.

I have had kidney problems since childhood. When I turned 25, doctors strongly recommended that I remove the kidney and look for a donor to transplant a new one. But in Germany, it turned out that a simple operation was needed to expand one of the channels. The operation was under general anesthesia. After her, two small holes remained on her stomach and back, which are now not to be found.

An  operation was easy and painless, on the second day the wife began to get out of bed, and on the third day she was already walking around the clinic. Many thanks to the German doctors for this!

My husband has cancer. He was treated in Ukraine, but there was no result. We arrived at the Essen clinic, where all the examinations were quickly carried out, according to the results of which therapy was recommended. Although in Ukraine doctors could not find a treatment for Boris, in Germany, on the contrary, it was said that it was even good that the tumor was endocrine-dependent, because it is controlled by special hormonal preparations. To tell the truth, the drugs will need to be taken during the life – once every 4 weeks.
The clinic has a very attentive attitude of all medical staff and the professor himself – the head physician. Patients are monitored at a very high level.

The next day after our arrival, an appointment at the clinic and a preoperative examination took place. My brother and I were operated on the same day – we asked for this in advance in order to be discharged from the clinic at the same time.
We were very pleased with the clinic and the doctor who operated on us.

My brother is schizophrenic. It’s sad to read about it, and to face it in life is even sadder. I grew up with the knowledge that my brother is what he is, that he is hopelessly ill, that there is no cure. But somewhere in the depths of my soul, I did not lose hope. I was much interested in the state of psychiatry and specifically in the progress in the treatment of schizophrenia, I knew that great success had been achieved in this area abroad. As soon as the financial situation allowed, I took my brother and we went to Tübingen. There is a famous hospital, which is famous for the quality of psychiatric care. And, you know, they helped. Schizophrenia, of course, is incurable, but my brother’s condition has improved. He’s going to do math.

I have type 2 diabetes. Previously, I had to limit myself not only in sweets, but also in other products that are characterized by a high sugar content. Even confectionery products on fructose provoked headaches, dizziness and deterioration in my condition. It is very hard to live like this, denying yourself a lot. I decided to take a course of treatment in Germany, as I heard a lot of positive reviews about it. I underwent stem cell therapy at the University Hospital in Tübingen. Now I feel much better. The symptoms that bothered me before completely disappeared.

I am a medical worker, regularly underwent examinations and could not even think that someday I would hear a terrible diagnosis – breast cancer. Cancer was detected at an early stage. I asked for help from a mammologist in our hospital, then I decided to consult at the oncology center. The conflicting recommendations from different doctors were confusing at first. I realized that I can easily make a mistake when choosing one of the courses. I heard from a friend of a patient about the high efficiency of treatment in Germany. This is how I ended up at the Tuebingen University Hospital. The examination with treatment lasted a little more than 2 weeks. I managed without surgery. Now I will be examined, and if necessary, continue treatment only there.

I ended up at the University Hospital of Tübingen with a diagnosis of prostate cancer. After reviewing the history of my illness, as well as the results of a biopsy and other tests. I was examined by several doctors and they suggested surgery with new equipment. As I found out later, the Da Vinci system allows you to perform laparoscopic surgery with great accuracy. Not all clinics, even in Germany, are equipped with such equipment, but the clinic in Tübingen has it. I don’t know what influenced the result more: the professionalism of the surgeon or the miracle device. More than six months have passed since the operation. In the results of the latest tests, there is not even a hint of a terrible disease.

With a diagnosis of cataract, I lived for almost 7 years (now I am 42 years old). My vision was constantly deteriorating and, if at first I somehow adapted, then over time I began to distinguish objects very poorly. My cataract progressed not too fast. However, the critical moment came when an operation was needed. Good friends of our family live in Germany. They advised me to contact the University Hospital of Tübingen. Thanks to their help and support, I did not experience any difficulties with the language barrier. In the clinic, I had phacoemulsification with ultrasound. The operation lasted about 10 minutes (so it seemed to me). I spent about 3 more hours in the hospital. Then my friends took me to their home. Now I can see just fine.

Completed in two days, including surgery. We have the best relationship with Dr. Hartmann’s team. Everything was on the rise and positive. The coordinators worked very well, so we did all the examinations in just half a day. Then we were settled in a hotel, and we came from time to time to the doctor for examinations. So, in principle, the treatment turned out to be relaxed, fast, and we even got out for shopping.

What I liked the most was the attitude of the staff. Doctors tried to help wherever they could. The nurses were always there. Everyone is very polite and friendly. The stay was very comfortable.

Well, in Aachen, in principle, normal. The staff at the branch are very helpful. There was a misunderstanding with the consultant at the front desk. But everything else went smoothly. I have already got used to the European level of service and the quality of medical services. After such a service in Russia, I have no idea how people in clinics and hospitals survive.

I am the first person in my environment who was operated on by a robot. In Aachen there is such a Da Vinci robotic surgical unit. Perhaps I would have learned more in the process, if not for the depression due to cancer and the not very good prognosis. The doctors and psychologist were very helpful. After the operation and a course of chemotherapy, there was a remission. In the next couple of months I will go to Aachen for a scheduled examination.

I passed a cardiological check-up in Aachen, a scheduled preventive examination. In our opinion, a medical examination. There were no queues. Several examinations and consultations held in one day. The only thing I didn’t like was the result only after a week. In fact, I could not just sit and wait for the results in Germany, and if there were problems, I would have to fly from Russia again.

Our 5-year-old daughter was diagnosed with retroperitoneal neuroblastoma. We needed to undergo a second examination at the Uniclinic (Germany). By chance, we received information about a free consultation of Turkish oncologists from the Acibadem clinic in Kyiv, and thus fate brought us together with Maria Rybalova, the head of the “Experts Medical” medical center, who, after this consultation, agreed to help us with further treatment. We want to express our deep gratitude for the help and professionalism in translating medical documents and solving countless organizational issues in order to make our trip to Cologne possible, including for helping to organize free round-trip air tickets for mother and daughter, as well as for help in communicating with charitable foundations, one of which agreed to finance our treatment in Germany. Mary, we couldn’t have done it without your help! Thank you very much! You are a professional!

I highly recommend the breast cancer treatment center! The staff and nurses are very pleasant. An excellent young team of doctors who work very professionally and have extensive experience, even on weekends.
Based on many years of experience, we can say that they are constantly developing and take constructive criticism from patients seriously.

I had advanced ovarian cancer, and I can recommend this center of excellence to all women with a similar problem. Many thanks to Professor Harter and his wonderful team. I had surgery on November 2, 2021, using the R0 method. They saved my life.
Update:
Today is June 8, 2025.
I still feel very well, no recurrence!
Everything is still great!
This is the best thing that has ever happened to me!
I want to thank the whole team again!!!

Excellent care from the first contact to discharge. The reception desk works quickly, professionally, and attentively. One of the clinic’s directors, Dr. Alesina, called me personally the very next day after my appointment, and the surgery was scheduled for the following week at short notice. Medically and personally, I always felt I was in good hands. The team in the department was also very attentive and friendly. The premises are modern and comfortable. I highly recommend it.

Dr. Kümmel and his entire team are unique. I can recommend this breast center 100%. For me, it is the best center. My surgery (after breast cancer) with implants went very well, and the result was amazing. The rooms are very nicely decorated and clean.

My stay in the hospital (Folkwang ward) was very good. Thank you also to the staff of this ward, you took excellent care of me. None of my wishes were left unattended.

I spent 2 days in the Gynaecologist area with a professional and care team from Prof.Dr.med. Philipp Harter, everyone on his team speaks English and explains every procedure carefully and clearly. Thank you so much for all the care and support.

Many thanks, my husband was hospitalized for a week in December 2023. The surgery went very well, and the entire staff was always there and took good care of him.
The doctors and nurses were always very polite, took their time, and took excellent care of the wound.
My husband felt very comfortable and can recommend this hospital, especially the maxillofacial surgery department.
I would particularly like to note that my husband never felt alone, was well informed, and the kind doctors found time for thorough care and attention.
Thank you very much, despite being in the hospital, my husband was very grateful to be in such reliable hands.

I had a gender reassignment mastectomy here, and I have rarely felt as comfortable in a hospital as I did here. Excellent care team, wonderful doctors, exceptionally good organization. Everyone was always friendly, attentive, and ready to help. Thank you very much for the surgery and the wonderful result. I haven’t felt this comfortable in my body in so many years. You have given me an unexpected quality of life, and I am infinitely grateful for that.

I have already had three breast surgeries at the KEM clinic, and I can only say positive things about it. First, I was very thoroughly examined and admitted. All explanations about the upcoming surgeries were very detailed. The surgeries went without complications, and there were no secondary wound healing disorders. Special attention was paid to hygiene. I also appreciated the postoperative care provided by the doctors and medical staff. I am very satisfied and warmly recommend this clinic!

The initial consultation, examination, and surgery at the gynecological oncology clinic went very well. The doctors, nurses, and orderlies were very kind and attentive. I felt I was in good hands before and after the surgery.

But then the real chaos began. The anesthesiologist left work without completing my discharge papers, and instead of the expected two weeks, I received the results only after five weeks (I called several times, but they explained that many employees were on vacation).

A week later, they called me and said they noticed my paperwork had been sitting around for too long, so they scheduled another appointment. No apology was offered.

Today, almost three months later, they called me while I was on vacation.

Thanks to Dr. Sherko Kümel from the Essen University Hospital for diagnosing breast cancer at an early stage. I came to examine the strange pigmentation on the breast and eventually heard a terrible diagnosis. Dear women, if you are in doubt and something is bothering you in your breasts, be it bumps or the formation of vascular networks, then it’s better to immediately go to a mammologist and demand detailed tests, because at an early stage breast cancer is essentially like a cold, which is successful and heal quickly!

In February 2015, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The first days after the diagnosis, of course, were terrible and full of fear, I was sent to KEM. The team led by Prof. Kümmel offers first-class medicine combined with humanity, respect and dedication. All the time I was advised how the therapy would go (at the highest level and with the supportive inclusion of naturopathic aspects of psychology and body). Not a single question remained unanswered, and the doctors – even the head physician – and the nurses were really always there for me. There were many questions about my health condition, you are really in good hands. I recommend Professor Kümmel and his team to anyone with a similar problem.

I was on treatment in April 2021 and I feel very good now. Even in the intensive care unit, where I was after the surgery, it was comfortable. I would like to express special gratitude to the nurses, whose names, unfortunately, I do not remember, and of course to the doctors who operated on me. The only thing I didn’t like was the food. I am a vegan and it was very difficult for me to eat here…

Competent and pleasant doctors and staff. For the most part, I felt in good hands.

Despite the fact that I waited there for 6 hours (because the child needed additional examinations), I am satisfied. The nurses and doctors were kind, professional and cooperative. Almost all the staff speaks English, which was very important to me as I am still new to Berlin.

The emergency room is always crowded, but all the staff are very friendly and do their best not to wait too long.
First of all, a compliment to all the staff for the work they do every day to help people and are always very welcoming despite the stress.

On August 8, I was hospitalized by ambulance, and then transferred to the 2nd department of the clinic. In both areas, I was treated with great respect and care. Doctors and staff are competent and responsive. In particular, I found that interacting with nurses on duty at night in the rescue/emergency center was very calming and relieved anxiety. Thank you so much again for this and respect for the people who continue to fight on the front lines of medical care.

We were very warmly welcomed at the reception of the rescue center.
The attending physician came to me after 15 minutes of waiting. She was competent and friendly.
Thank you!

The staff is excellent. Friendly, professional and above all very patient. This does not happen often, and I know what I’m talking about, because with my health I often visit clinics and in many already have VIPs.))) Very competent sisters and it’s wonderful!

But the cleanliness in the wards is not very… It’s a pity.

I was very uncomfortable using the bathroom. The garbage cans, unfortunately, were not removed after the previous patient).

During the operation, everyone was in a good mood, for me this indicates that no one died.)) The nurses and doctors are friendly. The fact that you are quickly admitted, due to the lack of staff, the doctors still do their best, and it shows. In general, everything is fine in the hospital. The food is edible.))) If your condition allows you to walk, then you can treat yourself to pizza or pasta around the corner, or delicious ice cream opposite.;)

I had an outpatient operation today. The staff was so friendly, caring and competent that I felt like a princess in good hands. Great job!!!

The general practitioner referred me to the emergency room. Waiting and treatment time is about 5 and a half hours. This is the emergency room.
I sincerely thank the workers in waiting area 4, especially doctor Tatiana Unra, nurse Riko and other medical staff. They do an excellent job. They helped me and I’m grateful for everything. Yes, it’s a shame to wait, but often the family doctor will not be faster.
For all those who complain: these people do what they can and do it perfectly.
Thanks a lot.

I had to visit the emergency department several times with my son, and I was also hospitalized twice at the Sana Klinikum. In our case, both doctors and nurses did their best, for which I am very grateful to them!

I was operated on a broken arm in hand surgery. I saw very intensive and deep preparation. Everything went well. Thanks to Dr. Stan and her team. I was also well looked after in the ward, despite the stress and lack of staff.
