KBC Split

First off, I am American who speaks ZERO croatian. I went to the hospital for an issue I needed help with. I was able to navigate any language barriers using a translator app on the telephone. I walked to a few different counters incorrectly but staff was happy to point me in the right direction. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, it took about 1.5 hours. Being that I am not a Croatian citizen and not part of HZZA, I did have to pay for my visit which was about 350HKR. This price is close to the price I would pay to see a doctor in the USA with insurance. Once I found the right place, I waited in the waiting room for about 10-15 minutes which is acceptable before being called into a room with a Doctor. I was able to have my problem resolved and completely satisfied with the visit. There are also private hospitals around but this seemed the most accessible and glad I chose to go here. I guess you can never control day to day what the queue of people needing healthcare would be. Maybe I just got lucky on this day that no one was waiting. But overall this was a good experience and I would come back based on the experience

Getting the ONCOLOGY department on the phone to make an appointment is close to IMPOSSIBLE. I do not get how the want people to make an appointment? I have been calling since Thursday, tried sending an email, called just today literally 57 times. The only time I managed to reach them in the last year was when the nurse accidentally wanted to make a call the same time I called them. It’s a real disgrace.

If you are a tourist, avoid this hospital as best you can. Long story short, I went to the A&E, the state of the building is horrendous, the level of care the same. I still have bruising from over two weeks ago from them taking a blood sample. Just don’t do it, if you can avoid it. Go to a specialist, private hospital, call a GP, don’t go there.

A terrible and superficial treatment at the ear/throat/nose department. A young and very arrogant doctor with very little knowledge and zero empathy. I am shocked that someone like that is allowed to "treat" people.

Not really up to usual standard of public hospitals in my country. Well at least I had no infection after surgery.
