They have forms in English, btw. I felt really appreciated, safe and grateful throughout the whole process. The process is very different from the one I went through in the US. First you must call the 0800 number to be screened. If all goes well you make an appointment so they can take blood samples and further interview you to ensure you're eligible to donate. If all that goes well you get a letter telling you you can donate within 2 weeks. I think it took about 1.5 months from my initial call till I got my letter. Totally worth it to help save lives :)

There is an expanding parking lot now, which is so nice to have. I wish I could take the tram which is out front or cycle but I drive to work from here. This is right next to the A10 ramp. They provide all types of wonderful care from Surgery follow-up to test center.

Worst experience I've ever had. Received conflicting information from doctor and hospital which…read moreled to being overcharged over 300 euros. When speaking to the office/billing staff the overwhelming response was "that is not possible", or basically "we don't care about your situation". We even had the doctor inform the hospital that we should not have been charged but the hospital sent the bills to collections..... Not only is the actual medical care in the Netherlands sub-par; their billing practices and customer service are some of the worst in the world....

A large lab for blood test and other things (called a prik chamber here). Also lots of other options for non-emergency or outpatient procedures. There are two large OLVG hospitals in Amsterdam, this one (Oost=East) or the West. Oost is much larger.

I will be traumatize for the rest of my life because of this hospital. My experience regarding the gynecology department they don't believe in any accountability, honesty, integrity or humanity regarding their patients. I was treated here years ago and never recovered from the unethical experience I had with them. As far as office experience, please keep in mind they don't keep on file unethical behavior among the doctors and they will deny, discredit and dismiss the patient to cover their back. Well as far as I am concerned that was my personal experience. I ask if the experience would be documented and kept on file and they said no. I was treated completely inhumane. I don't believe every department is like this but it was definitely my experience with their gynecologist team and department. After they permanently damaged my body I went to another department that demonstrated much more respect and integrity and some form of professionalism in contrast to the gynecology department.

I underestimated that they would demonstrate the key components and standards of what a doctor should demonstrate. Good luck to anyone! Keep in mind they will cover up any doctor's bad behavior. So make sure you have legal medical insurance with an insurance company before you go to a hospital here, something I was not aware of that you must have when encountering bad and unethical doctors here.

after the merger with the VUMC this has become a WORTHLESS hospital. All the prestige of a…read moreuniversity hospital has disappeared. A hospital where, due to the negligence of MDL doctors, IBD nurses and rheumatism doctors, you do not get better, but unfortunately sicker and sicker. They neglected my serious symptoms. I AM NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY AT ALL. My argument focuses in particular on the gastroenterology and rheumatology departments. (Eye clinic in AMC is good: because of the short lines of communication between doctor and patient, ophthalmologists take patients seriously). What makes the MDL departments so worthless: - the IBD nurses who sit in the doctors' chair. Making wrong assessments that can be dangerous for the patient. -the miserably long lines between doctor and patient. -the worthless digital mijndossier: communication doesn't work at all -If you have VERY serious complaints, you will simply be sent home with painkillers. I didn't feel taken seriously at all, even though there was a ticking time bomb in my body. -the doctors did not collaborate with other doctors, only looked at their own field in a very autistic way, and then sent it back to the GP. I also expect a medical specialist to look at the patient as a whole/holistically. If necessary, refer to the internist for more rigorous examination or consult with each other. Simply negligent! -Referring to an internist But they left it to the GP, even though it was urgent and even dangerous. Once a referral was received from the GP, the AMC rejected the referral in question because it believed it contained too little information. HELLO! This is not a formal error in a lawsuit, case dismissed due to an error. This is a HUMAN LIFE! -I haven't seen my own IBD/MDL doctor in 5 years. Staff shortage or something? It sure seems like it! -rheumatology outpatient clinic: too many patients and too few staff -incompetent doctors who cannot act and assess when a situation is serious. This certainly applies to the rheumatology outpatient clinic. It is better to go to a smaller hospital, if all goes well specialists also work there (get paid more) and have more time for their clients. AMC: rheumatology outpatient clinics and MDL: worthless third world country hospital!
