The Nikolaev hospital in Peterhof is one of the oldest clinics in St. Petersburg. On the basis of the institution there are several medical universities, specialized rooms and the largest urban multidisciplinary laboratory.
Historical reference
Nikolaevskaya Hospital in Peterhof was founded in 1802 as a Palace Hospital. Gradually it was filled with services, the number of patients increased. In the 40s of the 19th century, the clinic was already crowded, there were not enough places, and Emperor Nicholas I ordered the construction of a new hospital by the court architect Benoit.
The opening of the medical institution took place in 1858, the ceremony was attended by Alexander II. A little more time passed, and the Nikolaevskaya hospital again demanded expansion. This time A. Semenov took up the decision of the architectural complex. In the project, he successfully combined old and new buildings, without violating the unity of the complex. The discovery took place in 1905.
After the revolution, in 1918, the clinic was already state-owned and accepted children and adults for services. The treatment was carried out on an outpatient basis in the therapeutic, urological, gynecological, surgical and other departments. The main post-revolutionary problem of medicine was infectious diseases. Measles, typhus, whooping cough were rampant in the country. An infirmary was organized at the clinic.
The wartime for Peterhof and the Nikolaev hospital became the most difficult - the front line passed through the city, the occupation came. By the return of the Red Army of local residents in 1944, few were left alive, and the city was completely destroyed. Those who managed to survive during the occupation went into partisan detachments.
Restoration work began in 1944, it was decided to rebuild only historically valuable buildings, Benoit Hospital was on the list. The townspeople and hospital staff took part in the work. In the surviving rooms, stationary wards were equipped for the surgical and therapeutic departments with 100 beds. By the end of 1944, the hospital reached full service capacity.
In the following years, the clinic was constantly expanding, new services appeared - a maternity ward, an ambulance station, new buildings were rebuilt and the hospital bed expanded. At the end of the 20th century, practically all services and departments were housed in new buildings, a reorganization was carried out that divided the areas of activity - a polyclinic and a hospital appeared as independent medical institutions. In the late 90s, the hospital again became known as Mykolayiv, and the new century became a springboard for the development, refurbishment and improvement of the quality of services.

Reviews for outpatient services
Every day, a large flow of outpatients is served by Nikolaev Hospital (Peterhof). Reviews with positive reviews talk about the specialists of the departments. The visitors thank the doctors for their newly acquired health, the nurses for the correctly performed procedures.
Patients recommend that before visiting a hospital, it is imperative to choose a specialist who should be visited, since not all doctors treat patients' problems properly and devote sufficient time to making a diagnosis, rather than a formal approach to treatment.
Negative reviews were left with the doctor's appointment system and the ability to book a coupon at a convenient time.
