Sick at your Berlin hotel
Falling ill in a hotel room is not the moment to navigate a foreign healthcare system. Our experienced physicians come directly to your hotel, daily from 6 AM to midnight, typical arrival 60 to 90 minutes, full diagnostic equipment in the case, and a GOÄ invoice accepted by German private insurance and most international travel-insurance providers.
Read moreDoctor Berlin at night (until midnight)
In the hours before midnight Berlin is quiet, and outpatient care is sparse. Our physician team operates until midnight. We are honest about the rest: after midnight 116117 covers medical advice and 112 covers life-threatening emergencies. Before midnight, however, we come, examine, treat and lay the groundwork for a quiet night.

Berlin is a concert and festival city: Mercedes-Benz Arena, Waldbühne, Lollapalooza at the Olympiastadion.

Read moreSenior emergency house call Berlin
When an elderly relative suddenly becomes confused, falls, has chest tightness, develops shortness of breath or just seems 'somehow not themselves', the question is rarely 'which pill' but 'how serious is it really'.

In pregnancy the conditions are the same as usual, the therapy is not. Which antibiotic is approved in the second trimester? Which painkiller is safe? Is vomiting normal or hyperemesis?

Read moreRussian-speaking doctor Berlin
If you live or travel in Berlin and prefer to describe symptoms in Russian, because German is missing, because English medical detail is not enough, because elderly relatives only speak Russian. You can get history, examination and counselling in your mother tongue. We coordinate internally to assign a Russian-speaking physician where available.
