Untergiesing-Harlaching, between Isar meadows and villa streets
Untergiesing-Harlaching, district 18, stretches along the right bank of the Isar: down by the river the densely built, lively Untergiesing, in between Siebenbrunn with Hellabrunn Zoo, and up on the Isar high bank the green villa quarters of Harlaching out to the Menterschwaige. Hardly any Munich district combines such different residential settings over such a short distance, and our medical house call service covers them all, typically in 60 to 90 minutes.
In Untergiesing we are called by young families and professionals in the old-build flats near the Isar; in Harlaching it is frequently older patients who have grown old in their houses and for whom every trip to a practice has become a hurdle. With the München Klinik Harlaching, one of Munich's major hospitals also sits in the district; for everything that is urgent but does not need an emergency room, we are the alternative right at the kitchen table. Booking is by phone or online, including at short notice the same day.
Typical conditions in the district
On house calls in Untergiesing-Harlaching we mainly see febrile respiratory infections, gastrointestinal illness, urinary tract infections, migraine attacks, acute back pain and blood-pressure crises. After a long day outdoors, in summer the Isar meadows and Hellabrunn Zoo draw half the city, the evening often brings feverish children or a full-blown gastro infection. Then the doctor comes to the flat, not the family to the waiting room.
In the villa and garden streets of Harlaching and at the Menterschwaige we look after an above-average number of older patients: heart failure, COPD, diabetes, dizziness and unexplained weakness are the most common reasons here. We examine at home, adjust medication, coordinate with relatives and nursing services on request and decide soberly whether hospital admission is needed or treatment in the patient's own bed is sufficient. On hot summer days, circulation problems and fluid deficits after long afternoons by the Isar are added, especially among older people.
House call instead of the emergency room, right next to the hospital
The emergency department of the München Klinik Harlaching is there for true emergencies, and that is where they belong. A febrile infection, a bladder infection or a lumbago, however, rarely needs a hospital, it needs a doctor promptly. That is exactly what we deliver, at home, discreetly and without a waiting room. 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. We take bookings daily between 6 am and midnight, including for late in the evening.
Emergency? Dial the emergency number
If unconscious, with severe chest pain, breathlessness or heavy bleeding, dial 112 immediately. Our service complements the emergency services. It does not replace them.

Arrival and logistics in Untergiesing-Harlaching
Our doctors reach Untergiesing via the Mittlerer Ring and the roads near the Isar, and Harlaching and the Menterschwaige via Grünwalder Straße and the high bank. The typical arrival time across district 18 is 60 to 90 minutes from the moment we accept the call, in the evenings and at weekends often less.
In the old-build streets of Untergiesing parking is tight, on fine summer days additionally so because of day-trippers heading for the Isar and Hellabrunn Zoo. We factor that in. In Harlaching with its garden streets the approach is relaxed; clearly visible house numbers help, as does a note on whether access is via a side door or a garden gate, especially for visits after dark.
For acute emergencies with immediate danger to life the ambulance service on 112 is always the right route. Statutory patients can reach the on-call service of the Bavarian Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KVB) on 116 117. Our private service handles urgent but non-life-threatening care at home, in the office or at the hotel.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Untergiesing-Harlaching
Fever after the zoo day
After an afternoon at Hellabrunn Zoo, the four-year-old daughter of a family from Siebenbrunn spikes a fever in the evening. The doctor arrives within about 70 minutes, examines the child on the sofa at home, reassures the parents with a clear diagnosis and leaves a prescription and daycare certificate right away.
Heart failure in Harlaching
An 86-year-old patient in a house on the Isar high bank notices growing breathlessness and swollen legs. The doctor examines him at home, checks blood pressure and oxygen saturation, adjusts the diuretic medication and agrees with the family which signs would make the hospital necessary.
Bladder infection in Untergiesing
A young woman in an old-build flat near the Isar has had burning on urination and lower abdominal pain since the morning, and her family practice is closed for the weekend. We come the same day, confirm the diagnosis, prescribe an antibiotic and explain what to watch for over the next 48 hours.
Locked back at the Menterschwaige
A patient at the Menterschwaige can barely move for pain after working in the garden. The doctor examines him at home, rules out neurological warning signs, treats the acute blockage with medication and leaves a short exercise programme plus a prescription for the days ahead.
