Why is spandau area so shady?

I recently moved to berlin, I haven't explored too much but I happen to have visited some areas of spandau and it seemed extremely shady. Is it even 1% true or I am extremely imaginative?

Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg's Waiting Room

Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg

It's a mixed bag, honestly. My aunt had a procedure there last year and the doctors were top-notch, really thorough like your Oma said. But the waiting room... yeah, that's another story. It can get pretty packed, especially in the mornings. Three hours is possible, but I wouldn't count on a speedy in-and-out. Maybe try going first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon to beat the rush. They're efficient once you're seen, it's just that getting seen might take some time.
