Corpus callosotomy in 4 Neurosurgery clinics in Paris

I live in the USA and was in Paris for vacation. I developed tachycardia on the flight to Paris, which was completely new for me. It lasted over 3 hours and the flight attendants summoned a medical doctor who told me to be checked in Paris. Necker urgent care was the closest facility to where we were staying. Upon walking into their urgent care area, I felt I was walking into a hospital from the 1940's. It was hot, dark and filthy. It looked like the old asbestos tile floors had not been swept or scrubbed in months (yes, I am assuming they were abestos tiles based on my experience with a similar floor in my home). The windows were filthy as well. Paint on the wood trim around the windows was chipping off. Just beyond the waiting area stood an old fashioned hospital screen on wheels. I had not seen one of those since the 1960's. After waiting for an hour, I lost confidence in what I would encounter with medical care and left. I hope this was a really bad example of a medical facility in Paris. I was told later I should have gone to the "American hospital" which no one had told me about beforehand. My taste of "free medical care" in France was not a good one. I hope my impression of their healthcare system was incorrect for the rest of the country. I do want to point out that I was able to enjoy my time in Paris and loved so many things about it. I am grateful for that experience. I am back home now and receiving good care for the condition I developed enroute to France.

I brought my daughter to this hospital early Sunday morning after she received food poisoning from a five star hotel. The staff was awful. They hire people who can barely speak French. Only the MDs were pros. After waiting for almost three hours I finally stopped a male MD and asked if he could see my daughter. Otherwise we would leave. He did and she was discharged shortly thereafter.

Worst hospital experience ever. Really increased the risk of delivering our son, unnecessarily. For weeks mid wives kept threatening there is a risk and we have to induce labor while all the data show that the infant and the mother are healthy. My wife was constantly stressed. When we ask what risk is there, mid wife just says “death of a baby”. Who uses this word in a hospital when there is no real risk? When my wife did start having a contraction, we went to the emergency service. They made us wait for 7 hours stating they are short staffed. There were actually quite a few staffs but they were checking their phones or chatting. We were disheartened but no one showed an interest, no one came and ask if we were doing ok. I repeat, it was an “emergency service”. After the seventh hour I asked when can we be taken care of. They said “we can’t, not enough bed, not enough staffs today. We will have to put you in another hospital”. Well what were they going to do if I hadn’t asked? Left us there unattended for another seven hours? They slowly started looking for other hospitals. Many were also full but finally there was a nice one available just outside Paris. Necker people said “ambulance will be here in 30 minutes”. Of course it took 90 minutes until we finally got to leave this horrible stupid hospital. Thanks to the nice second hospital, the baby was born in 12 hours after we had moved there, safe and sound. Maybe we just had a sequence of bad staffs at Necker. But for the entire time we commuted there and visited at the day of delivery, unfortunately we hardly met anyone there that cares or even shows a remote interest in patients. .

Do not go here if you don't speak French. And also if you don't like being made fun of by the staff. They're not nice folks.

Barely any staff spoke english, some were even annoyed when we mentioned we only spoke english. Waited for 3 hours in the emergency department only to be sent somewhere else. Don‘t bother!

We visited Emergency of this hospital. As we don’t speak French we were treated like prisoners. Hospital staff including doctors pretended like they don’t understand us. My wife came from a different hospital where she was initially admitted but only received very basic care because this one is accepted by our insurance. Despite having severe abdominal pain she was told that she will not be given any attention and she must go back to the original hospital. Doctor Jessica Franchitti was extremely rude to my wife and shouted to her to leave. Nobody ever treated us this way, especially in hospital. We had no choice but to leave and spend a day in a hotel hoping that the abdominal pain will get better. After we got back home my wife was immediately accepted to hospital to do hernia surgery.

Good doctor, good behavior. Satisfied patient.

I got to see two fabulous doctors, the first in emerg and the second in cardiology (who confirmed the original diagnosis). Both were extremely caring and knowledgeable. I felt in good hands. Minus a half star for the long wait to see the first doctor (but triage ekg was quick so I guess it wasn’t urgent). Minus another half star for the filthy, seatless public toilet for the waiting room but bonus point for the outstanding quality of the doctors.

You doctors who work in the Pitie Salpetriere hospital, bow your heads to the ground and beyond, for all those children's souls, whom you do not stop from their straight and fast path to earth. May all the joys with which you spoil yourselves, turn you into ashes, and let your empty souls shatter like the lives of the innocent, whom you leave daily prey to their suffering, evil and disease, without trying to save them, although their last hope it was with you. And we are not talking about terminal cases, but about people who can be saved easily, if you ONLY tried! World top 10 hospital: an advertisement for nothing!!! You shouldn't even be in the top 3 of a pitiful city, forgotten by the world! Great doctors who don't even see the patient, just sign to be discharged, and hide behind the reception, because you are busy. With what? Did you destroy the next man's life? How many people do you dust a day? Do you have a commission from cemeteries? Change all the staff! You made terrible recruiting mistakes! Give them difficult cases, without them knowing that they are being tested, and see what "doctors" you have! The rest, take their diplomas and useless documents and start sweeping the street, don't let them have the power to turn good people into dust!

Excellent staff of internal medicine: after many months looking for a diagnosis, they were the first and only to listen, study my symptoms, and find the cause in a rare illness, before sending me to the appropriate structure in Cochin. The structure is modern and clean; 5 stars also to the chef: the good food made my weeks there more pleasant.

Saw the emergency room in the middle of the night, waited less than half an hour, it was quite fast, the doctors and nurses were very caring, and there was even breakfast, although it was simple.

My anesthesiologists were playing Joanne while putting me to sleep. Great and kind staff. Very positive experience.

A large hospital dating from the 70s, partly renovated, with many specialties and relatively correct care but very uncertain depending on the services as in many public assistance hospitals in general... We can therefore go there from heaven to hell, often with adorable and caring teams in intensive care or intensive care units and other totally overwhelmed teams with little regard for their patients because they are understaffed in many others services...

On the 3rd floor Orthopedic department: Caregivers, nurse, friendly staff overall 👍 Arthrodesis + laminectomy operation Dr Solène Prost service teacher Tropiano All the pain went well and was well treated. 5 days hospital Return home for 4 weeks to recover peacefully. Then start of physiotherapy rehabilitation.

I was taken to the Urgences here by ambulance and I have never had such an awful experience. The nurse who was looking after me was completely cold and uncaring despite the fact I has a blocked intestine and was not only I’m agony but kept blacking and vomiting. At one point when he saw me vomiting he said “don’t you think you are exaggerating a bit”! It took 6 hours before I had a scan and in that time I was left alone and given no blanket despite being soaked in sweat from the pain. When I finally went upstairs to the operating theatre, the experience was much better. I know this hospital has some great doctors and the surgeon who operated on me did an amazing job. My criticism is uniquely directed at the a&e “urgences” here which is just not good enough. All the staff were uncaring and cold and I felt scared and abandoned which is not what one should feel in hospital. Sorry, but a little more humanity would mean less stress to patients!

Today we visited the allergy department with our child. I really liked the service. The doctor spoke very nicely with my child. The inspection was good. We did an allergy test. Everything is fine and I'm very happy😊

My husband received wonderful care at A&E and intensive care after experiencing a heart attack on holiday last October 2022. Speedy treatment and attentive nursing while in CHU for two weeks prior to repatriation to the UK. Could not have had better treatment. A huge thank you to the doctors and staff who looked after him. We are very grateful.

My brother Christopher had the most excellent care in accident and emergency for a pulmonary embolism. I know he is very grateful to the drs and nurses that night. They were kind caring and amazingly speedy to diagnose and find a medication. Compared to the normal experience in the U.K. the French system that night was incredible and they also called him back for a check up in a week, again with an amazing dr so sympathetic, that would be two to three months in the U.K. The staff treated him with dignity and compassion. A massive thank you to all there

First, I was well received at reception. Then, the doctor explained to me very well the cause of tartar and some recommendations to remedy it. I liked the friendly side of the doctor. Thank you for everything ! See you soon !

I met Doctor Barral a year ago in an emergency situation (as often), and I was seduced by the frankness of his diagnosis, then by the precision of his care and support. Today he completed the planned treatment. THANKS ! I sincerely recommend his services, and I am reassured to have found the dentist who will accompany me for the next few years.

I left this famous dental office disappointed deep within me. I was in front of a DR dentist. Clément Barral who lacks professionalism, he is racist and does not know how to understand patients or clients or speak with them. I strongly advise against this office to anyone who is tempted to meet this gentleman who must learn to listen and be hum. I am disgusted and I think I will never again come across this monster who hides in the medical field

I had my teeth cleaned today. I have veneers. The cleaning was incredible! Beyond my expectations!

I only receive emergency treatment from them, always well received, attentive and professional, our students are great!

I highly recommend them. 👌 All the team are so professional 🙌, with an extraordinary courtesy, specially dr. Benichou, his partner Lina and the secretary Dieynaba. They take care to your teeth when you're watching your favorite program on TV. Thank you so much all of you.

Doctor Perrin is the best dentist,no pain and excellent job,highly recommended

Dr. Raddi saved my trip to Paris. I had a dental emergency on a Sunday and his office got me in and he was able to treat me immediately. I highly recommend his services. Thank you to Dr. Raddi and his staff.

A most humiliating experience! I arrived for a cleaning and periodontal. This was clear from when I made the appointment. Then was told it would cost three times what I normally pay so I opted just for the cleaning and was ok with that. Was then told that DR PERRIN could not treat me due to Corona virus, even though of course if I agreed to the inflated price he would have happily treated me. Left the practice utterly humiliated as I’m sure the receptionist was too. A very big ego and arrogance problem is the reason why it’s possible to get a quick appointment with this Dr Perrin!

While on holiday in Lyon I had a bout of severe toothache. A member of the hotel staff recommended this practice. I rang them, and was offered an appointment that morning (another cliient had cancelled). The dentist I saw examined me very carefully, and identified the source of the trouble. She took two X-rays. She judged that the tooth would require a root canal treatment, which was not possible in the time frame (I am having that done by my own dentist). But by drilling away part of the top of the tooth, she eliminated biting problems, and the pain disappeared. As a result, I was able to enjoy the rest of my holiday. It was a very satisfactory experience.

Emergency dental on our honeymoon and Anne sorted out the loose filling quickly and easily. Smooth and quick! --- Sadly, I've had to revise this review as my repair/replacement filling only lasted a week before I've had to get it fixed in Spain. The clinic itself is clean and modern, I think the issue with this repair was the shallow cavity and the lack of properly evening out the filling - it felt like the bite wasn't perfect, which is different to what has just been repaired in Spain.

I highly recommend this dental clinic to everyone!! I am usually not feeling comfortable visiting a dentist (fear, the smell, the atmosphere and far to expensive) but this one really changed my mind. The moment you enter you think you'd be entering rather a spa than a dental clinic. The interior is scandinavian style beautiful and for one moment in France everything is simple and very well organized! The dentists are very competent and everybody is friendly. The director, France, is great: because my assurance does not cover dentists, they got me the best deal for a ceramic crown- I went to another dentist before who made me an offer about 250 euro more expensive. Labelia is a very good choice!!
