Private Doctor Home Visit Hadern

Hadern, a quiet residential district with big medicine

Hadern, district 20, is one of Munich's quietest residential districts: Großhadern with its old village core, Kleinhadern and the Blumenau line up single-family homes, cooperative housing and post-war residential estates. The district is known far beyond Munich for two names: the LMU Klinikum Großhadern, which ranks among Germany's largest university hospitals, and the Waldfriedhof, one of the city's best-known cemeteries. Our medical house call service covers all three parts of the district completely.

People who live in Hadern value the calm, and many patients have lived here for decades. Accordingly we are often called by older people who do not want to, or cannot, sit in a waiting room for a febrile infection or a blood-pressure crisis, but also by young families from the Blumenau when a child spikes a fever in the evening. A licensed physician comes to the front door, examines without haste and leaves a prescription and sick note right there. The visit can be booked by phone or online, including the same day.

Typical conditions in the district

On house calls in Hadern we mainly treat febrile respiratory infections, bronchitis, gastrointestinal illness, urinary tract infections, migraine attacks, acute back pain and blood-pressure crises. In the terraced and garden streets of Großhadern and Kleinhadern it is frequently older patients with heart failure, COPD or diabetes where a deterioration should be assessed at home before anyone thinks about a hospital.

The district adds one special feature: around the LMU Klinikum Großhadern live many relatives who accompany patients for weeks, and international guests who travel to Munich for treatment. When, in that tense period, the accompanying person is hit by an infection, a migraine or sleepless nights, we come to the flat or the apartment, with an English-language prescription and sick note on request. Short-notice visits the same evening are usually possible too; the service runs daily from 6 am to midnight.

House calls in the shadow of the university hospital

The emergency department of the LMU Klinikum Großhadern is among the most capable in the city, and for true emergencies it is the right place. A common infection, a bladder infection or a lumbago, however, does not need university medicine, it needs a doctor promptly, without waiting between more urgent cases. That is exactly what we deliver at home. Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ), typically 150 to 300 euros depending on the effort; private health insurers and travel insurance policies usually reimburse the cost in full. Statutory patients can book the visit as self-payers, for instance at the weekend or late in the evening.
