Suggestion for Patients
The biggest attraction is experiencing proven procedural skills and the latest equipment within a reasonable system. However, the possibility of waiting times due to high popularity and the busyness typical of large hospitals are factors to consider when visiting.
It is judged to be a medical institution suitable for customers who prefer a 'verified large hospital' with a systematic system and numerous procedure cases rather than a private and quiet 'boutique' type hospital.
