My wife broke her arm and was operated on at this hospital and had to endure a two-night overnight stay.

The Emergency department were excellent - speedy and efficient.  And the surgeon who operated was exceptional.

However, the treatement received once incarcerated in a private room was nothing less that appalling.

Although there were several staff on hand they simply refused to answer any calls for help for upwards of 45 minutes - they were too busy gathered round their phones giggling over whatever videos they were watching.  Any request was met with surliness and usually ignored.

The food was atrocious and the service even worse.  Breakfast the first day was a bread roll and jam, in a plasic bag, simply thrown onto a bedside table by somebody who clearly was in the wrong job.  My wife was on a drip and couldn't reach where it had been thrown - and with a broken wrist would not have been able to open the bag anyway.  Calls for assistance were ignored.

In summary, the doctors appear to be excellent but the rest of the staff are less than adequate.  At all costs avoid staying over at this hospital.

Summary:
Medical service(s) I needed was: Surgery.
I went for a operation.
I have received the requested service(s).
I didn't have an appointment.
The service I received was very poor.
I had no complications after the treatment.
My health has somewhat improved after receiving the services from the Vithas Xanit International Hospital.
I don't recommend this hospital!

Unfortunately our experience at the emergency department was very bad at this hospital!!!

 My friend's husband was very unwell so we took him there as they used their private insurance. He was put on a bed but inmidiatily we were told they would not know what to do if he got worse  so we were send to the public hospital in Malaga and being told the specialist would see him that same night. I asked the doctor to keep him there overnight until the specialist could see him in the morning but he refused! I also told him we prefered a hospital in Marbella and he was very rude with his reply and simply said he could not send him to any other hospital than the one in Malaga, which to me it was a big shock. When we arrived to the public hospital in Malaga they did not have any specialist over night so he ended up having to wait at the waiting room the whole night!!! At 8:30am he had still not been seen by a specialist. We were very upset with the doctor at  Vithas Xhanit and will never recommend this hospital to anybody. It is bad do not go!!!

Summary:
Medical service(s) I needed was: Complementary Cancer Care.

I entered with a wheelchair because I had only half an hour ago an accident with my moto . Had to wait 5 minutes until s.o. asked me what I wanted ( although there were no other clients). For them it was only interesting how I could pay ...she said but this is a private hospital and I answered because of that I am here.

After a while i could go in, ( to a doctor? I don't know ), she took my blood pressure, it was high ( I lost a lot of blood through the accident ).

After another while a doctor came, put me into a surgery room. Three young nurses came , didn't say what they were, didn't take a lot of  notice of me , only my wound( which was quite big 10 cm cut )was their interest but it felt really insecure with what they did. As my husband is a doctor and I am physiotherapist, I know much about all this. They started to set injections very unprofessional, every stitch hurted  a lot.  Then one was trying show the other what to do. That was the moment I told them to go for doctor. 

After half an hour a traumatologist came and was arrogant, pressed on the wound and said that he wouldn't do the suture and if I don't want to let the nurse do it, then I should leave. He let me alone , no protection for the open wound . In Germany , where I come from, the suture normally would have done a doctor. 

Later I agreed that another nurse would do this . A nice young man came and did it very professionally.

The traumatologist took 210 € for treating me like that bad.

The price for the medical treatment  was ok.

Summary:
Medical service(s) I needed was: Emergency Services.
I went for a treatment.
I have received the requested service(s).
I didn't have an appointment.
The service I received was average.
I had no complications after the treatment.
My health has somewhat improved after receiving the services from the Vithas Xanit International Hospital.

I used the hospital while I was living in Benalmadena, and visited multiple times for different issues. Overall is ok hospital I have some issues with it but also had good treatments. 
PRO

- International, many staff and doctors speak English 

- Accredited, it gives me peace of mind knowing that they meet high standards 

-It is a big Hospital and can handle most of the procedures 

- many doctors took care of me, helped identify the causes of my health problems, and helped me deal with treatment.

CONS

-Many doctors seem to be not engaged enough, do not provide enough information about the problem I had, and recommend what to do. 
-I had horrible experiences with a gynecologist, who did not help me with the problem I struggled with, and on top of that dumping sample medications on me. I cried after this visit... 

-in general unfriendly environment in my experience in more instances than not. 

 

Summary:
I went for a treatment.
I have received the requested service(s).
I had an appointment.
The service I received was good.
I had no complications after the treatment.
My health has somewhat improved after receiving the services from the Vithas Xanit International Hospital.

I was bought into this hospital on the 7th feb 2023re a broken back I had an MRI scan last week that showed them this I was told I was waiting for authorization from DKV to get my operation to proceed. By Friday the 9th reception still had not given DKV authorisation to do my operation so I waited till Monday to be told the same story .

I ring the bell nobody comes ,I am so scared that they will make a mistake with my operation I have n trust in them at all , I have requested that they move me to another hospital they have given me wron drugs the list is endless most of the staff are under 23 please help me I am so scared and I cannot move out of the bed at all .

Long time waiting for get in to consultation, WITH an appointment. Waiting more that one and half hour after the time of the appointment and still had to Waite for two other patients. Had to cancel it and leave the hospital. Could see that almost all the patients that came after me in to the waiting room got through and went, and I still was there!!!! This was not the first time I experienced LONG time waiting either to get a number or to get in to the consultation. Very unprofessional.

Summary:
Medical service(s) I needed was: Obstetrics And Gynecology.
I went for a consultation.
I haven't received the requested service(s).
I had an appointment.
The service I received was very poor.
My health has did not improve after receiving the services from the Vithas Xanit International Hospital.

Once we moved to Benalmadena, I went for multiple check-ups and consultations to Xanit and got some great experience there. Most of the staff knows english, some speak also russian (as I noticed) and many other languages, trully international hospital.

I will summarize all my experience in one review, because I've went there multiple times: for blood analysis, for dermatology analysis, allergy analysis and many other procedures. Although my spanish isn't really good, all my experience was positive as all doctors understood me.

I'm not sure what are the prices there, as we used our insurance (and they do accept many types of insurances) - which covered all of our procedures.

Summary:
Medical service(s) I needed was: Consultation / Check-up.
I went for a check-up.
I have received the requested service(s).
I had an appointment.
The service I received was excellent.
I had no complications after the treatment.
My health has significantly improved after receiving the services from the Vithas Xanit International Hospital.
I recommend this hospital!
