I would like to thank the VITUS team personally, including the day and night nursing team, the urology team, and of course Prof Stehling for the entire treatment experience during my recent stay at VITUS clinic.

I hold the level of service I received to be highly professional and exemplary. The treatment options are uniquely innovative.

I would not hesitate to use the VITUS clinic services again in the future if the need arose, or indeed to recommend others to.

I want to express my gratitude to this clinic for the exceptional care they provided to my husband during his prostate cancer treatment. The medical team was not only professional and experienced, but also compassionate and attentive to his needs. They provided detailed information about treatment options and helped us make informed decisions. I also felt supported as a wife and reassured that we were in good hands. I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality medical care and humane treatment at a difficult time.

Desidero condividere la mia esperienza estremamente positiva per mio padre presso VITUS Privatklinik. La quantità di informazioni fornite è stata eccezionale. Il personale medico mi ha dedicato tempo per spiegarmi ogni aspetto della condizione di papà e dei diversi approcci di trattamento. Ho trovato particolarmente preziosa la loro imparzialità nel presentare le opzioni, senza distorcere o favorire alcun trattamento specifico. Questo ci ha dato fiducia nel prendere una decisione basata su dati oggettivi e appropriati. Consiglio vivamente questo centro a chiunque cerchi una vasta gamma di informazioni e una consulenza senza eguali sul trattamento del cancro alla prostata.

Dear Ashleigh,

I am writing to thank you and everyone at the clinic for the care and kindness you showed me. The medical care I received from you was the best I have ever experienced in my entire life, by far. Please give my sincere thanks to all who cared for me in every capacity. Everyone was great!

I especially want to thank Dr. El-Idrissi for the extra attention in addressing the blood clots, and doing the follow-up ultrasound to make sure everything was okay, and also for going to the extra effort of writing the discharge letter in English. Before coming to your clinic I had consulted with four different urologists, and after only a few minutes of talking with Dr. El-Idrissi, it became quite clear his extensive knowledge, experience and competence was far ahead of the others. I feel most fortunate to have been treated by him.

And, I want to thank you Ashleigh, from the bottom of my heart, for the care and kindness you showed me on my last day at the clinic. When I tell friends and family of my experiences, and come to the part about you walking me to my hotel at night, carrying my bags, making sure I was safely settled into my room, and then later that night calling to check on me and offer another ultrasound at the clinic… I become emotionally choked-up and unable to finish the sentence without my voice cracking. Such caring and kindness in healthcare is not only uncommon here in the United States, it is unheard of. I will never forget your kindness.

A special thank you, as well, to Charlotte for her diligent help arranging and facilitating prompt treatment. Compared to what has been my experience here, it seemed nothing short of miraculous. Since learning of my elevated PSA last May, I have been frustrated at every turn trying to move forward with diagnosis and treatment. I had to fight just to get an MRI and then wait over three weeks for the first available appointment, then wait again, this time two and a half months for biopsy, then wait again for PSMA scan, and so on… it felt like trudging waist-deep through thick mud. Upon initial contact with Charlotte, it seemed too good to be true to have someone actually reply in a timely manner and then put forth all efforts required to arrange prompt treatment, guiding me through the process at every step. Many, many thanks!

Please thank Veronika too. Her attentiveness, care, concern and kindness were exceptional and very much appreciated! Thanks to the Anesthesiologist and MRI people… your work was nothing short of perfection.

Last, but not least, please convey my appreciation to Prof. Dr. Stehling for establishing the Institute and advocating for these new and better treatments. I would have never known about your clinic if I had not stumbled upon one of his videos on YouTube. The picture of my future life painted by all the doctors here was bleak and hopeless — radical surgery, radiation and hormone deprivation, along with accompanying damage and long-term side effects. It was a future I did not want to live. For six months I felt like I was trapped inside a dark room with no way out. Learning about IRE and then Photodynamic Therapy, the light came on, and the alternative, better future presented itself. Thank you for restoring hope to my life!

Deciding to travel half way around the world to receive treatment from you, I think will turn out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. Time will tell. But whatever the future holds, I’m confident knowing I received the best treatment, and the absolute best care, possible. My heart overflows in gratitude.

Holding you all in highest Esteem,
- David Worden

Estoy extremadamente satisfecho con mi experiencia en esta clínica. Una de las cosas que más aprecio es el contacto directo que tuve con los profesionales más expertos en el campo como es el Prof. Stehling. Desde la primera consulta, me sentí escuchado y comprendido. Los médicos y especialistas respondieron a todas mis preguntas de manera detallada y me brindaron una explicación clara de cómo funciona la electroporación (IRE) y por qué era una opción efectiva para mi caso. También me alertaron sobre los efectos secundarios potenciales de métodos más tradicionales, como la prostatectomía o el HIFU, lo cual me hizo sentir aún más seguro de haber tomado la decisión correcta. Recomiendo encarecidamente esta clínica a aquellos que busquen un enfoque directo y experto para el tratamiento del cáncer de próstata.

Mi experiencia en Vitus Privatklinik y con el Prof. Stehling fue increíblemente positiva. Lo que más aprecié fue la cantidad de información detallada que me proporcionaron sobre mi condición y las opciones de tratamiento disponibles. El equipo médico fue extremadamente minucioso al explicar cada paso del proceso, lo que me hizo sentir seguro y en control de mi propia salud. Además, la imparcialidad con la que me trataron fue notable. Nunca sentí presiones para elegir un tratamiento específico, sino que me brindaron una visión equilibrada y objetiva de las diferentes opciones. Recomiendo encarecidamente este centro a cualquier persona que busque un enfoque profesional, informativo y sin parcialidad para el tratamiento del cáncer de próstata.

I don't usually do reviews, but having read one or two comments on this Clinic, I felt compelled to share my experiences at this clinic myself, which were 100% positive in every aspect. My Treatment was in Sept/October 2020. Naturally I was very nervous about this procedure, and wanted a thorough explanation of it, and what it entailed. When I arrived at the Vitus Clinic, which was also in the middle of the Covid crisis, which was also a clearly difficult time for the staff and patients to contend with. I was received with respect, and found the clinic staff to be very professional, and after my initial review, I met with the senior consultant and his urologist the following day, and everything was explained to me about the procedure to remove my tumours from the prostate. Having been given a full appraisal of my situation, I then had a full set of biopsies taken of the prostate, and it was found that I had 9 tumours, and after a necessary time for the prostate to settle down from the biopsies taken, all were successfully removed with the IRE Poration treatment. I was advised that my PSA would spike immediately after my treatment, which it did, and I had another scan before I was discharged from the clinic, but following further PSA's post treatment, as the surgeons there advised it should, my PSA went down to below 1, which has shown from time to time very small variations since then, but has remained very low. Apart from the surgeons themselves, who are an amazing team of people, I would give particular praise to the nursing staff at this clinic, as I found them to be very thorough in their day to day care of me, and I would recommend anybody that has issues with their prostate to consider this clinic very seriously, as they certainly know their stuff.
