Top Clinics for Cardiac Catheterization Abroad

When I was diagnosed with lung cancer, I knew I needed more than just treatment. I needed clarity, competence, and care I could trust. After a lot of research and second opinions, I ended up at Hirslanden Swiss Hospital Group, and I’m genuinely glad I did. From the start, the experience felt different. The consultations were not rushed. The surgeons explained everything in plain language, including the benefits of minimally invasive surgery for my case. I wasn’t promised miracles - just a well-coordinated plan, backed by expertise. I had video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), which is a less invasive approach compared to traditional open surgery. I’m not going to pretend it was easy, but I avoided the long incision and rib-spreading that usually come with lung operations. That alone made recovery a lot more manageable. The hospital itself is spotless, quiet, and clearly run to Swiss standards. Follow-up care was prompt and professional, with zero confusion about appointments, prescriptions, or next steps.

I came to Nordwest Clinic for breast cancer treatment with chemotherapy. Unfortunately, my experience was not the best. Although the doctors seemed qualified, communication was difficult due to insufficient support from the translator, which made it difficult to understand the treatment plan. In addition, additional costs for diagnostics were not discussed in advance, which was an unpleasant surprise. The treatment went well, but the overall impression was negative due to organizational problems.

I went to the Nordwest clinic for cochlear implantation due to hearing problems. The procedure was performed professionally and I am pleased with the result – my hearing has improved significantly. However, the organization of the process left mixed impressions: there were slight delays in scheduling consultations, and the cost of some services was not announced in advance, which caused inconvenience. Overall, the medical level is high, but administrative issues could be better organized.

I came to the Nordwest Clinic for lung cancer treatment. The procedure of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was performed at the highest level. The doctors, especially Professor Elke Jäger, explained all the stages of the treatment in detail and answered my questions. The operation was minimally invasive and the recovery was fast. The clinic staff was very attentive and the wards were comfortable. I am grateful for the professionalism and care that helped me return to normal life!
