Real reviews from students.

????

Oita Medical University is large and has a large number of patients, but they only care about the manual, and I don't know if it's because they're used to it, but I don't feel that the way they treat non-patients, the general public, is considerate. It makes my weak heart feel the worst, and there is absolutely zero hospitality.

My father underwent bypass surgery for a type B thoracic aortic aneurysm. The 10-hour surgery was completed without incident. The explanations given to my family were very easy to understand, and the risks during and after the surgery were thoroughly explained, making it easy for us to prepare for any eventuality.

HAKU β€œ??”

The doctors, nurses, and staff are all enthusiastic about their work. However, since many of the doctors and nurses are young, I felt that they lack experience in medical care and nursing. There are many intelligent doctors with a wealth of knowledge, and I think the treatment is also accurate.

The female ophthalmologist treats her patients like objects. I understand she's busy, but it's inevitable that patients rely on her. And yet, when I ask her a question, she clicks her tongue and frowns. It's terrible. If it's bothersome, she should quit.
