We offer the complete spectrum of general pediatrics.

General office hours

You can't plan illness! If your child falls sick and you want to see your pediatrician, please call us. If there's a vacancy in our schedule, we will gladly offer you an appointment the same day. If not, your child of course can be seen nevertheless. The staff will tell you, when it is best to come and the entire team will try to keep waiting as short as possible. How long you will have to wait in the office really depends on the number of walk-in patients that day an if any severe, maybe life threatening emergencies occur / come in.

Check-Ups

For check ups, please always make an appointment! Complete exams do require sufficient time!

Please bring the yellow medical record book (gelbes Vorsorgeheft), if applicable the green and white additional record book and your child's international vaccination certificate and, if applicable, the letter and reply-form you got from the Landesamt für Soziale Dienste to every check up.

The second neonatal check up U2 (3rd to 10th .day of life) we offer to be performed at home as a special service to the young parents and the neonate. The staff will ask you several questions, when you request the visit, to ensure top range medical care for your baby during the visit. The additional care of an experienced midwife is also very advisable.
