About us
We are an experienced team of pediatricians and medical assistants with many years of experience in the inpatient and outpatient treatment of children and adolescents from birth to the age of 18.
During our (acute) walk-in consultation, we provide care for your child's acute illnesses and address your concerns.
During our scheduled appointments, we offer preventative check-ups, vaccinations, fitness examinations and other individualized health services.

News
“Pediatricians will not be able to absorb the consequences of this reform on their own in the long run. If economic pressure continues to mount, our patients will feel the impact significantly—through longer waiting times, reduced service offerings, and an overall decline in the quality of outpatient care.” ‒ Jakob Maske, Federal Press Spokesperson for the BVKJ
Current Vaccination Recommendations
Infants in their first year of life (born from April 2026 onwards):
The STIKO recommends immunization against RSV for infants (born from April 2026 onwards) prior to their first winter season. If this applies to your child, please contact us soon so we can schedule an appointment. Further information is available here.
