We look forward to caring for your children in our pediatric practice at Wydlerweg 21, 8047 Zurich. For your own health concerns, we are at your disposal at Albisriederstrasse 358, 8047 Zurich – just a 3-minute walk away.
Thanks to the close cooperation between all doctors, the use of the same software and the comprehensive documentation, we are well informed about the family medical history and are happy to take care of every family member, no matter how big or small.
Your well-being is important to us and we are proud to offer you and your family the best possible medical care.

We look after your child lovingly and competently with a permanent pediatrician. She also accompanies the regular check-ups so that your child can build up a trusting relationship with the doctor and every visit is a positive experience.

You can contact us at any time with any medical questions or concerns about your child’s development and behavior. We look forward to accompanying your child on the path to a healthy future!

In emergencies, we are there for your child immediately. In our main practice at Albisriederstrasse 358, we also have an extensive practice laboratory and a digitalised X-ray system to help you quickly and effectively.

For emergencies outside our opening hours, you can call the medical hotline (Ärztefon 0800 33 66 55), which will advise you and put you in touch with the pediatrician on duty in your area.

Regular check-ups are a great way to support your child’s healthy development.

Together we will check your child’s weight and height and pay attention to their motor and emotional development. We are also on hand to help with chronic illnesses. We also check immunisation levels and get to the bottom of possible complaints. In this way, we ensure that your child receives the best possible care.

The baby consultation is there to support you and your newborn baby during this exciting but also challenging time. If your baby has difficulties – be it with feeding or if it cries a lot –- we are there for you.

We offer comprehensive medical care, from general healthcare to specialised infant care. This includes support with breastfeeding problems, dealing with crying and drinking difficulties, as well as infant hip examinations. We treat both acute and chronic childhood illnesses and carry out regular check-ups. We also provide expert advice on immunisations and offer vaccinations directly at our practice.

In pediatrics, we are there to help you with regular preventive examinations and, if necessary, offer additional check-ups to ensure that your child is developing healthily. Should acute or chronic illnesses occur, we will provide prompt and thorough treatment.

We also carry out hearing and vision tests as well as lung function tests to keep a close eye on your child’s health. In the event of school or social problems, we offer you competent counselling and are also available for laboratory tests. In addition, we provide individual advice on vaccinations, including travel medicine, and carry out the vaccinations directly. So you can be sure that your child will receive the best possible care!

In adolescent medicine, we offer comprehensive check-ups and treat acute and chronic illnesses.

We diagnose and treat allergic diseases, clarify ADHD/ADD and offer support for psychosomatic problems. We also carry out hearing and vision tests, lung function tests and school examinations.

We provide counselling for acne, sexual development, emotional challenges and school and social issues. We also offer individual vaccination advice and vaccinations, including for travel, as well as other examinations in the field of general internal medicine.

The safety and well-being of your child is our top priority. First, we conduct a detailed consultation to answer all your questions about vaccinations. Your child will then be examined briefly to ensure that they are healthy and can receive the vaccination.

Your child will be immunised either on your lap or in your arm; confident children can also sit on their own. The area of skin to be vaccinated – usually the upper arm – is briefly disinfected. Then the small prick is given and we cover the area with a plaster. For babies who need several vaccinations, we usually inject the thigh at the same time.

As a small highlight, your child can choose something from our treasure chest after the vaccination to make the visit a little more pleasant.
