SGE International Anmeldelser 4

Dr Schaffer is the best doctor in this practice. Although she works only once a week, she really tries to help you and is not afraid of prescribing medicine or asking for more tests when necessary. They impreved their practice a lot in the past 6 months.

Been visited recently at SGE and diagnosed with Herpes Zoster by one of the doctors. Pomade was the only suggestion given at that time. I called the day after complaining about the spreading of the infection, the unbearable pains I was experiencing, and the raising fever. I literally begged the person answering the phone to process the prescription of an antiviral, which is absolutely FUNDAMENTAL for treating this infection and aspiring to a more contained spread + shorter duration of it. Any doctor would direct you to take antivirals, and this is explained also in official sources from the Dutch government by the way, where it is clarified that a strict therapy of three weeks with punctual interval of times between tablets must be followed. Without any mercy, the person at SGE insisted that the antiviral was not necessary and that I should just let time pass, of course recommending to take paracetamol, the cure of all the badness. In the end I had to ask a prescription to my doctor in Italy and the medicine was urgently sent via post by my family.

I am not a person who relies on medicine easily, but the system here is a JOKE. It is from my bed with terrible pains all over my body that I shout: YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF, to say the least.

I don’t feel welcome there and The negative experiences are starting to outweigh the good. I have problems in my chest for 6 months now. At first I was told it’s flu symptoms and given paracetamol when my symptoms did not match, had the doctor roll her eyes and sigh when I explained my symptoms and as a student in health care would fail my exam if I talked to and tested a patient the way she did to me.

Another time when I was undergoing a provocative test and had tears because of pain was told to stop as I’m just acting afraid and don’t feel actual pain. When I asked about my prescription (eg how often to take it and how long) was told they don’t have time as they have other patients.
I will be switching practice as I want to seek help from professionals who act accordingly and listen to their patients

Absolutely unprofessional and medically questionable!

I have a history of tonsillitis and have recently had a really bad episode with bleeding tonsils. I called the office to schedule an appointment resp. get proper medication for it.
The assistant however told me that I probably have corona because I have 'neck pain' and should go get tested. After repeatedly telling her that I know that this is a tonsillitis because I have it quite a lot and only need a prescription for antibiotics, she literally told me that she cannot help me. Instead, she told me to take some paracetamol, pretty much the equivalent to putting a bandaid on a stab wound.

But then they even had the nerve to charge me for that!!!
I emailed them several times asking them to revoke the bill because I did not call nor ask for any advice and the unsolicited 'advice' I got could not possibly be considered a professional/ medical advice - I might as well have talked to a monkey.
