I received three HD treatments at Saint Luc in May/June 2016. The facility was very large (might have 60+ chairs in pods/rooms) but the care team was helpful. There was a little confusion when I arrived because there was not a check in desk visible, but one of the doctors tried to find where I should go. Fairly quickly they figured out who I was and set up a machine for me. It sounded like my paperwork had not made it to the care team from the coordinators. However despite the confusion the wait was not long. The doctors spook good English, the nurse or tech who connected me each data had at decent English.
One day there was some confusion from a nurse/tech who didn’t really understand that I do not use button holes. She missed the first stick in a new part of my arm that I just started using but had no issues when she went to my main fistula area.
As a US patient pre-payment was required of 1,500 euro (for three sessions) wired to a bank account prior to travel.
Its located on the subway with the stop about three buildings from the main hospital, there is good markings on the walkway leading to the hospital. Wifi is available via a French only sign up form without SMS confirmation (so you can sign up without a working phone number). I was able to by a local Lycia Mobile SIM in the convenience store on the ground floor of the hospital.
I would return to this center.
