private practice

Private medicine in a private practice:

Your child and its well-being is the center of our attention. All diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed in a pleasant atmosphere and without any time-pressure. Our main principle is to treat our little patients as autonomous personalities, whose needs are to be met with respect and patience. We are pleased to answer all your questions and address all concerns with empathy and without time restraints.

In addition to preventive medicine (Mother-and-Child-Pass examinations, vaccinations, attests), a small in-house laboratory (blood count, inflammation values, various rapid tests such as flu or streptococci, as well as urine tests) is available for acutely ill patients, where the results are available after a few minutes. Complete extended diagnostics can be carried out with collaborating laboratory institutes.

For children with respiratory problems or asthma, spirometry (lung function) is available in addition to ECG.

Allergy diagnostics, e.g. skin tests for all common allergens are carried out directly at the private practice in addition to all laboratory tests (in cooperation with a partner laboratory – samples are collected on the same day). Extended allergy diagnostics and oral food challenge can be carried out at the Pediatric Department at Wilhelminen Hospital Vienna, if required.

If special examinations or therapies that cannot be conducted at the private practice are necessary, we will be happy to support you in the hospital. Dr. Mädel is a senior specialist at the Pediatric Department at Wilhelminen Hospital Vienna.

Interdisciplinary team

Only a comprehensive view of the child or adolescent can provide a holistic picture of the healing process. This is only possible within the framework of interdisciplinary patient care. In order to offer you the most comprehensive range of services possible, Dr. Mädel is working at MALACHT Private Pediatric Centre in the heart of Vienna. Here, specialists from various fields of pediatrics and physiotherapy work together under one roof – the benefit for you is a wide spectrum of high-quality holistic treatments.

Short-term appointments, short waiting times, sufficient time for our patients

Our private practice is a “Wahlarztpraxis” (only for private patients). Because we are independent from general health insurance rates, we take as much time as necessary for you and your child – without constraints of general health insurance companies. This also enables us to offer short-term appointments. Consequently, we can offer short waiting times. Assessments without an appointment are usually not possible for organizational reasons, but an appointment can generally be organized promptly.

Invoicing:

You will receive a fee note after your appointment, which can be submitted to the general health insurance company. The health insurance company will reimburse you up to 80% of the general insurance tariff (not the invoiced fee). It is not possible to charge the health insurance company directly for services rendered by private physicians.

Many private insurance companies cover the costs of the difference between the amount refunded by the general health insurance company and the fee for the visit to a private physician.

You can pay in cash or by card. We try to make our pricing policy as transparent as possible. You can receive further information in person, by phone or via email (link).

As a private physician and pediatrician, Dr. Mädel can issue prescriptions, specialist referrals, prescriptions for your child (these are treated in pharmacies like general prescriptions) and various medical certificates (e.g. care leave).
