I went to the outpatient neurosurgery department. I went there as a last resort. I was hospitalized for tests, but the conclusion remained the same. He's a good, trustworthy doctor, so it's a shame. To be honest, I wish I hadn't gone. A small hospital would be enough to get medicine. It was a waste of money.

The response to emergency calls in the middle of the night is the worst.
Even though I called urgently, they didn't give me that kind of attitude. I guess that's just how university hospitals are. It seems to be expanding, but it's all about the exterior and nothing inside.

The nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department has a really bad attitude. She's an older woman in her 40s. A university hospital doesn't need nurses who make people uncomfortable! I want her to quit immediately!
The doctors are always kind to me. ?? …

I took my father to Ube Medical School at Yamagata University, now 83 years old. It was a surprisingly large hospital, as expected. I was surprised at the number of patients. My father's eyesight was very poor. I pray to Amida Butsu for him to return home.

????

My father had stomach cancer and was referred to this hospital. He had surgery, but at that time, the peritoneal seeding was severe. But he had surgery to remove his stomach. Because of the surgery, he could not eat and became weaker day by …

During my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with fetal hydronephrosis and decided to receive care at this obstetrics and gynecology clinic. Although my family was not able to be present, the midwives were with me all the time, taking good care of …

I traveled over four hours from Hyogo Prefecture to be admitted to the urology department, and when I checked in, I was told, "You will be admitted next week."
It turns out that the head nurse of the ward forgot to inform me of the change …

????

The service from the clerk at the new patient reception on the first floor was awful. This is the first time I've seen such bad service in a hospital. The elderly female clerk at the new patient registration form was particularly bad. She …

When my doctor was forcing me to go to occupational therapy, I was subjected to nasty, bullying-like remarks from a nosy older woman occupational therapist. It was obvious she was doting on a favorite, completely uncool member, and it was …

?????

The obstetrics and gynecology department has been separated from the gynecology department, which has shortened waiting times, and efforts have been made to ensure that patients undergoing fertility treatment do not share the same waiting …

I am currently accompanying my child who is hospitalized in the pediatrics department of the new ward. Both the doctor and nurses are very helpful. They put my child's needs first, so I can concentrate on his treatment with peace of mind! …

I went up to the ward to visit him and stopped by the staff office. Since it was Saturday and there were only a few nurses, they were all busy operating the electronic medical records. It looked like they were busy frantically keeping the …

There are too many incompetent people who don't understand the rules of their workplace, including the office staff on the first floor, the receptionists at the clinic, and the nurses. Even though I called ahead to confirm, the person who …

I visited the Emergency and Intensive Care Department for work. There are many famous doctors there, so it was a very meaningful learning experience. When you go to a city hospital, treatment is inevitably based on the preferences of each …

Do you understand what patients and their families go through every day? Are you just feeding them? It would be much better if you were alone. There are so many patients with serious illnesses, anxiety about death, sadness, fear, and risk …

Is the associate professor in the urology department, Shira?, really serious about curing the disease? The obstetrician-gynecologist is also incompetent, or to put it bluntly, a quack. The associate professors and professors are the only …

My parents-in-law were taken care of here. They were quite elderly, and the bed rest period and the long wait until surgery were painful and exhausting, but the surgery was successful and they were able to leave the hospital. ? They said …

????

I called to have my mail forwarded, but the nurses told me to ask the security guard. I was disgusted by their impersonal and arrogant behavior. I was charged double the parking fee, and it felt like the worst hospital I'd ever been to. …

????

I received a referral letter from another hospital and arrived at my scheduled time of 9am, but I was kept waiting and ended up leaving the hospital after 6pm. I wondered if they had really forgotten me. Or I started to worry that I had …

YKU

I called in the middle of the night because my child was having fever convulsions and they said (You seem young, can you pay? Ours is expensive, you know), and I thought if paying money would buy me peace of mind (I'm fine with that, so …

I've been receiving medical care for my daughter here for a long time. I had a bad experience at my last visit, so I'd like to say a few words. At the cashier, I presented my health insurance card and my student welfare medical benefit …

???

Honestly, this is a negative review. My child had a fever, but when I called the emergency room, they said I couldn't get in without an invitation, and that people without an invitation had to pay. The telephone service was terrible. I …

I was hospitalized for a kidney transplant. Without this hospital and that doctor, I don't think I would be alive today. I am so grateful to the many staff members who supported me through my times of despair and anxiety. My doctor was …

This is the third hospital I've been to in Yamaguchi Prefecture after being passed around, and it's the worst!! The reception and payment staff are incredibly unfriendly!! They don't even say "take care of yourself"!! The doctors don't …

This is not an evaluation of the hospital, but rather of the "security" of the visitor management during the COVID-19 pandemic. The phone number of the visiting person, which was required to be written down every time as identification …

When I went to a chair near window number six to be admitted to the hospital, I was told that it was a place to put on a wristband and was in the way. When I tried to explain that I have a physical disability, they made the decision on …

MINI

Due to a chronic illness, I was only able to give birth at a larger hospital, so I ended up giving birth at this hospital. Since giving birth in March, it's been nothing but the worst. The nurses on the ward were absolutely awful. They …

??

I went there for the first time with a referral letter, got the paperwork at the reception on the first floor, and went to the third floor. When I asked what to do, I was told to wait. An hour and a half later, they hadn't put out the …

My parent was discharged from the hospital today. The surgeons treated him with compassion, and the nurses on the ward remembered him from his hospital stay over 10 years ago, so he is very grateful. I think this is a wonderful hospital.

When I asked the cashier about a parking discount, he simply said, "There's one in the parking lot," and then told me to go to the next person. I knew they had one, but I was there for over two hours for my appointment and admission …

I visited the dermatology department and required surgery and hospitalization, so I spent about 40 days here under their care. The doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, and many other staff members worked diligently and devotedly. …

There are too many cars parked in the parking lot. Because there are so many cars parked, the intersection leading to the medical school becomes very congested. I would like them to come up with some ideas to make it easier to enter.

The hospital is like a maze. There is a huge difference in the level of the doctors and nurses. There are apparently a lot of medical errors in some departments, and a nursing student said that hospitalization is not recommended.

It was an incurable disease? So he was hospitalized, but it seems he wasn't properly explained anything and he was being transferred to different wards.
Also, it seems like the doctor in charge wasn't properly explaining the …

I was recently hospitalized for surgery. My doctor is efficient and the nurses are highly skilled, so this is a trustworthy hospital. I am still suffering from after-effects, so I look forward to your continued support.

It's a lie that they can examine you without a referral letter.
My six-month-old child fell out of his car seat onto the concrete, so I called the neurosurgery department to ask for a CT scan of his head, but the …

The doctors and nurses I've worked with so far have all been very nice.

However, because it's an old building and has been expanded many times, the …

Doctors walking around acting all high and mighty are a nuisance. Even though they're the same customers, they're sick themselves, so they don't have that kind of awareness. …

This hospital, supposedly representing Yamaguchi Prefecture, has such poor customer service!
I went to the hospital on the morning of January 17th to be admitted, but they …
