Auf dem Olymp der Neurochirurgen und Wirbelsäulenspezialisten werden Sie mit Sicherheit Dr. Buhl treffen!
Nach zwei Bandscheibenvorfällen und einer Spinalkanalstenose hat er mir in einer sehr schmerzhaften Situation spontan, fachlich hoch qualifiziert und einfühlsam geholfen. Mein Dank gilt auch seiner Chefsekretärin, die alles perfekt organisiert hat.
In einer anderen Klinik war zuvor was schief gelaufen.
Zu Dr. Buhl kam ich auf Empfehlung. Diagnose, Operationsmethode und Aufklärung waren hervorragend. Die Operation verlief problemlos und ich war sofort schmerzfrei. Ich fühlte mich immer ernst genommen und das Personal war sehr freundlich.
Dr. Buhl hat mir die Nachbehandlung transparent und verständlich erklärt. Er hat mir alle Ängste vor der Operation genommen. Höchste fachliche Kompetenz und menschliches Engagement gehen bei ihm Hand in Hand.
Ich bedanke mich bei Herrn Dr. Buhl und seinem Team und kann das Krankenhaus jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

Being a mother, I was really worried after my son was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After several difficult months, we found Dr. Ralf Buhl at Solingen Clinic. He was very understanding, compassionate, and supportive. He gave us different treatment options, and we decided to go with the surgery. After the surgery, the progress I have seen in my son is remarkable. I am very happy with my son's treatment and highly recommend Dr. Ralf Buhl!
Am 10.07.2023 wurde durch Herrn Dr. med. Ralf Buhl eine Bandscheiben OP LW 3/4 durchgeführt. Nach

Auch dem OP-Team und den Stationsschwestern herzlichen Dank!
