Brain abscess treatment in 1 Neurosurgery clinic in Italy

No matter why you are there, you cannot go wrong with the professionalism you’ll find. We have experienced the top of the scientific excellence added to the greatest humanity. Thank you for being there to cure the children every day!!

Super fast, got in with my 1y 7mo daughter who swallowed a plant (brome) that got stuck in her tonsil, went to triage who registered her and 5min later got called in. They checked her lungs and ears properly, then her throat, some other doctor colleagues got called in to help hold the baby, they removed it in 2 minutes, they finished writing up her file and we left. Overall it took 20-25min from when we got in to when we got out. Thank you so much!

As a tourist with a sick child, I'm blessed to be directed by the taxi driver to this hospital. We received great care from Dr. Ferro Valencia, and the staff and fellow patients have been super nice too. Some tips for parents like me who don't understand any Italian: 1. Proceed to the emergency department with a red label, there an English speaking staff will be able to direct you to the right department. For us, we were directed to take COVID test first. 2. At the COVID test location, they actually take notes of your symptoms too, and give you a number. Your remaining visits to different departments will all have this number be called upon. 3. The hospital consists of several buildings with different colored labels. Only the emergency department is labeled red, and also functions as triage. When your number is called again, it is usually the case that you will be directed to a numbered room inside the emergency department. From there if you need to go to another building, they'll tell you the color or have a staff guide you. Not many nurses/staff understand English, but they've all been very nice and helpful. Within each department among 5-6 people, usually at least one person speaks good English. It's a really busy hospital, so the staff/doctors might not be so attentive, but if you reach out, they'll be so helpful.

They requested that I leave a review, so I do so, albeit with some hesitation. I arrived in Florence with a cracked crown and they were very kind in seeing me, extremely quick and accommodating. The office was clean, and their staff was always kind, communicative, and reassuring, for which I am grateful. They were patient when I was indecisive (they convinced me that in paying more for a root canal, I would avoid future pain and sensitivity in the damaged area, and I did ultimately opt to do so, for a total of €1300). Fitting the crown was difficult, as I suspect is the norm, but at some point it seems they nicked on one of my neighboring teeth (or, hopefully, perhaps they left a dab of cement that remains there after over a month), and it required 3-4 different visits to adjust it. Anyway, the crown remained high enough where my other teeth wouldn't touch when I closed my mouth, which was so maddening. The dentist seemed like she didn't really believe me, and I left each time thinking, "OK, maybe I'm just being too sensitive and I'll get used to it." Finally, upon my last visit, the "main" dentist took over with great fanfare, and he was much more thorough, even polishing the surface of the crown, which made it much more comfortable in my mouth (which, by the way, I'm surprised the other dentist never did). Unfortunately, while the fit is better than before, it still does stick out every-so-slightly when I close my mouth, and now hurts when I eat. I'm hoping eventually I will get used to it and the soreness will go away, and I know that they would offer to try to help adjust it again, but after so many tries I just don't see the point anymore. Perhaps I should have articulated myself better when I was there -- I guess it speaks to the limitations of my Italian, or to me not wanting to complain too much -- but at this point after two months, my time in Italy is ending, and will have to visit my old dentist in the USA to see what's up. I wish I didn't have to do so, as it's going to end up costing much more in time and money in the long run, but that was the risk I took. Anyway, I hate to leave a negative review, but that's where I stand now.

During my trip from Australia, I faced a severe dental crisis. Fortunately, Dental Factor came to my rescue. I'm immensely thankful to the hotel that recommended them. The Dental Factor team was incredibly supportive, instantly putting me at ease with their jokes and laughter. They managed to make a daunting procedure feel remarkably simple and stress-free. The process was smooth, their facility was modern and clean, and the dentists were exceptionally skilled. I'm so pleased with the experience!

We had an emergency whilst we were travelling Italy. It was for both myself, pain & broken tooth, and my wife, pain, infection and possible crown. They booked us in as an emergency and were able to complete the work. Filling for me & tooth removal and implant for my wife. Crown will be inserted when we get back home. They speak English, which made things so much easier & explained the process. They were so professional, friendly, with minimal or no pain, and completed the work whilst we were in Florence. Would thoroughly recommend them. Thanks 😊

Excellent, well explained care by Dr. John Barton. Accepts international tourists at very fair prices. He is from the UK which made our communication very easy.

Perfect service not only in Italiano, also in English and spanish! Very good Experience and friendliest Workers i meet! Would come again instantly if we visit milano again and have a problem with our teeth

I have always had the best experience with the clinic and doctor Barton. They completely transformed my teeth and made them much healthier, stronger, and more beautiful. Would definitely recommend to anyone in Milan.

Very kind and understanding staff. As an English speaker I was worried about finding help abroad due to language barriers but ADAR was very helpful and they didn't suggest anything I didn't need. So grateful for their help ♡

the best American dentist in Rome! all of the doctors are very skilled and speak many different languages. they took care of me right away and did an amazing job. will definitely be returning!

My first day in Rome of a two week vacation I had a dental issue. I contacted American Dental and they were able to see me the same day. Dr. Loredana Carnovale Winter was wonderful. She was able to correct my issue and the price was reasonable. Thank you Doctor Winter!

Rude staff and uncommentable reception.... I had to do rehabilitation but then I was in a small room with two other people, one of whom was very ill and should have been sheltered elsewhere, but instead it was always a huge mess, when I called the nurses at least half an hour passed. now and no worries about turning off the TV at a certain point. I ran away after one day, a nightmare!!! Terrible food and rehabilitation done in the room together with two older people but I didn't see the shadow of a cardiologist, where there was always the person who was very ill..... It goes on only due to conventions... Put the rehabilitation in Papardo!

Visit carried out a year ago for an operation on the hand and still without an answer.. but 90 euros for the visit immediately taken.. very little professionalism from the nurses to the doctors not to mention the switchboard service.. poor!!!

I was admitted to the Rehabilitation Center followed competently by Doctor Ferlazzo. I thank the head nurse Mrs. Rita, all the nurses, physiotherapists and collaborators, for their continuous assistance and availability. The only flaw, contacting the COT is a challenge

Have

Terrible experience, completely incompetent.

Excellent

They ran out of my blood type and decided to use pasta sauce instead. now im on my death bed at age 22 with severe blood poisining. 1 out of 5 would not recommend

An "American" hospital where they cannot even speak two words of English. I thought I had a chest infection and wanted to consult with a professional to hear his or her opinion. The staff was unfortunately not able to help because of the language barrier.
