Ich war anfangs Februar zur Kontrolle in der Pallas-Klinik Aarau beim neuen Arzt Dr. Peter Raak und ich bin begeistert von ihm. Er ist freundlich, geduldig, menschlich und erklärt alles genau und klar verständlich.ich fühlte mich ernst genommen. Leider war das nicht so bei früheren Terminen bei zwei verschiedenen Ärzten. Da wurden meine Fragen unwillig beantwortet, nur wenig erklärt und ich fühlte mich abgefertigt. Da ich selber in einer Klinik in der Patientenberatung tätig bin, weiss ich was gute Betreuung ist. Wie bin ich froh, jetzt bei Dr. Raak in Behandlung zu sein!!

War eine sehr unfreundliche und inkompetente Ärztin, beherrschte die Sprache nicht mal richtig

Nach einem für mich unbefriedigenden Ärztewechsel fehlte mir das Vertrauen in die Klinik, weshalb ich mittels Brief mein Fall schilderte und meine Krankengeschichte einforderte. Der Brief wurde nie beantwortet und auch die Akte traf nie bei mir ein. In der Folge habe die Krankengeschichte nochmals telefonisch eingefordert und in Aarau persönlich abgeholt.

I was born extremely near sited, ca.(-13L. eye -12R eye) After years of wearing glasses and contact lenses, I took a leap of faith and walked into the Augen Zentrum in Aarau to discuss having lenses implanted behind the Hornhaut. (2007) To this day, I have not had a single issue or complication with my eyes. I am so blessed to have received this operation. They performed the procedure without a down payment; even though my health insurance wasn't willing to pay a single frank. With the help of my generous parents, I was able to pay off the bill. (well worth it)!!! Thank your Aarau Augen Zentrum

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
