Super frustrated because this business NEVER answers the phone !!!
Of all the times I’ve needed something, whether it’s urgent or I need an appointment or just need to talk to someone quick…. I can never get through.
So for example, I had to cancel an appointment- tried many times to call , of course never got through, so my partner sent an email ,,,. And yet we are getting charged fees for missed appointments! How unfair is that?! I’m sure it seems like they get a lot of no-shows due to this problem. Honestly it’s been like this for like a year !
Not to mention for appointments for mental health, they give you an 6-8 month wait. Very unrealistic, by that point someone in need could get so much worse without help. We’re deciding after being charged again and again for missed appointments that we’ve tried so hard to contact about - we can’t continue to be a patient here . Not to do with the doctors , but with the front desk . I sincerely hope you all fix how you offer communication, because it’s the worst.

**UPDATE: since company responded.
The only way that is timely most of the time in situations is too call! I can’t sit and write an email or play around with the website while driving, or dealing with kids, etc etc.

Also- we have been in person in canceled the remainder of our appointments bc we want to switch now since the customer service is lacking - and yet there was no mention that they would now charge fees for missing the net appointment that we canceled in person .
This is ridiculous, and insensitive- people are here for help and therapy and the front desk people just make our lives more difficult.

Unfortunately no one ever answers the phone at the clinic, which makes it really hard to communicate with them regarding time sensitive matters.

Me and my spouse waited 30 extra minutes beyond our appointment times and had to repeatedly ask to be seen. We were only seen once we told reception to cancel our appointments.
On our previous visit we waited 20 minutes beyond my spouse's appointment time and reception had counted my spouse's appointment as completed when she hadn't even been seen.

The final straw was a lab tech taking a blood draw without gloves or sanitizing her hands.

I have to comment on the wonderful service of the staff at American Medical Center. I have been coming for a while, and the staff are always so warm and kind. However, I have to extend a special gratitude to the front desk admin Abby and Dr. Roth for being so great when I needed urgent care services. I was a walked-in, and I expected a long wait time since I did not have an appointment. However, Abby and Dr. Roth was so kind and understanding, and was able to squeeze me in. Thank you for all your help.

When you can get a hold of them to make an appointment, things go pretty smooth. However, reaching them can be next to impossible. They need to improve their phone system and the4 ability to take phone calls.

When I lived in Germany I would come to this place for my medical needs. They accept the VA here, and it was a huge benefit for me. I did not want to buy any health insurance since I am already covered by the VA and having this place available to Veterans is a lifesaver!

PS now the facility is hiring lawyers to intimidate customers that wrote negative reviews, threatening to take them to court, claiming we were never customers. My son will certainly testify that he was a treated at this facility (in Ramstein at the time). Meanwhile they have moved to Landstuhl. Just improve your services! (which you obviously did, considering the latest reviews that aren't as bad).

This comment just affects the rehab part of AMC. Last time I called their "official" number, I was given another number to call, and, after calling them, another number to call?!? I think they all sit right next to each other? My son had a dislocated kneecap, with the LRMC doc suggesting to wait 3 weeks before starting physical therapy (was stated in the paper from the doc that I brought in). Went in proactively to get him scheduled for that time in three weeks. Was told he should start right away. My son went in three times, saw 3 different therapists that all gave conflicting advice to my son. Dr. at LRMC was pretty upset when I told him they overrode his advice. Probably partly my fault, as I should have insisted, but I am not a medical expert and figured they were.
Therapists were very friendly though. My son liked them. The one front desk lady I initially dealt to was extremely rude. Overall, I'd say the management is quite unprofessional , but at least they obviously have some good people working there.

This practice really is exceptional.

I've been coming here on and off for years. I've been seen by multiple doctors and met multiple receptionists- all of them have been nothing but kind and understanding. If I am worried about my health, I've never felt like my concerns were disregarded or demeaned. The wait times are also minimal- it's rare that I'm not speaking to the doctor right when my appointment starts (I go early in the mornings).

I'm reading a lot of complaints about the parking- it's a parking garage with large parking spaces connected to a clean elevator and it's super cheap. For someone who has to cart a stroller around+ pain when walking, this is significantly better than trying to navigate on street parking with a baby during snowy weather. It's also always pretty empty, so I never have to drive around looking for parking. For a couple of euros, the parking situation is awesome.

I had an exceptional experience at the American Medical Center during my trip to Germany. Dealing with an ACL injury far from home could have been overwhelming, but the staff and doctors made the whole process incredibly smooth and reassuring. From the moment I walked in, they greeted me with warmth and professionalism, making me feel at ease. The doctors demonstrated their expertise and attentiveness throughout my treatment, providing me with the best care possible. I'm genuinely grateful for their support and dedication to my recovery. Thanks to their excellent care, I was able to continue my trip with more confidence and less discomfort. I can't recommend the American Medical Center enough for anyone seeking top-notch medical attention while in Germany. They truly deserve all the praise for their amazing service!

Absolutely incredible!! I took my teenager here for a sport's physical because she couldn't get an appointment on base. The ladies at the front desk were super sweet and helpful and the appointment went great. First of all, our appointment was at 1300 and we were called back at exactly 1300. We were in and out in 15 minutes, I was shocked! €35 euro for the whole thing, done and done! Would absolutely return! Doc was great, nurses were great, everything was great. Highly recommend!

Edit: Many issues with my spouse’s care. Repetitive labs and referrals for the same clinic with the same results. First doctor was great, but then we were changed to a new doctor who didn’t seem to read the files. Giving him one more chance tomorrow and then switching to Flynn Family Medicine.

You would think these people are still medical students. They can't give a proper diagnosis,you'll leave with the "doctors" best guess. They also charge 35 euro for an antigen test,that's free everywhere else. They don't inform you of the charge.They claim you're displaying symptoms of covid and make you take the test outside in your car. I understand out of an abundance of caution in need to have someone test however, charging 35 euro for something that is given free is ludicrous. All together over 150 euro for a 2 minute chat and left with him saying I "likely" have such and such.

I just moved to Germany and was stressing out about finding a medical provider here. I emailed American Medical and they set me up and appointment through email. I just had my appointment and everything went very smoothly. All th staff speaks English perfectly and it was stress free. The doctors are also very friendly! Great staff!

Again I want to say thank you to Dr. Heart, and the staff.

Staff is great with little wait time. Doctor's are efficient and very thorough. I have never had any issues or problems. My family and I have been seeing the doctors at this location for over 4 years.

I recently had to pick up a prescription and found upon arrival at the old location they had moved. It would have been nice to know of the new location in advance when I received a call about picking up my prescription. The new location is down the block and across the street. Not far but still caused a problem for me as I had another appointment to get to and had not expected the detour.
