Paediatrician services

Via the children's outpatient clinic

We look forward to your visit and are at your service within our Opening hours available for acute cases as well as for a preventive check-up.

If your child is in acute respiratory distress or has suddenly fainted, or in the event of burns, injuries or poisoning, immediately call the Vienna Rescue under dhe emergency number 144!

  • My child is ill: We examine your child sensitively in order to build up trust first. Then we choose the appropriate therapy for your child. Acute treatment for cough, fever, sore throat, headache, stomach ache, skin rashes, etc. 
  • My child is healthy: you would still like to come to us? We offer a general examination even for healthy children, with blood sampling (from the vein) possible on request. 

Routine examinations

Mother and Child Passport Examinations

We accompany you and your child and monitor their development until they start school.

Regular examinations allow health risks and illnesses to be recognised quickly.

Developmental control in infants and young children

We monitor the development of your infant/child and accompany you and your offspring until they start school.

Regular examinations allow health risks and illnesses to be recognised quickly.

Operation release

The operation is approved following a preliminary paediatric examination, which consists of a precise medical history and a detailed clinical examination to determine the absence of infection.

Testing in children

Is your child suffering from an unclear infection? In suspected cases, we carry out a streptococcal rapid test in the surgery free of charge, COVID-19/Influenza A+B Antigen Combo Rapid Test at a price of € 30. The result is available in 15 minutes.

Sick leave confirmations

A certificate of sick leave is usually issued by the family doctor. Young people up to the age of 18 who are in apprenticeship training or already working can take sick leave or a health certificate at our outpatient clinic.

Sports Certificate

If your child wishes to participate in a club sport, he/she will need a medical certificate stating the current state of health of your child.

Infant Care

How do I care for my baby properly? Whether changing nappies, bathing, caring for the navel or cutting nails - newborn babies need a lot of care and attention.

We give you practical tips on what you need and what you need to pay attention to so that your baby develops healthily.

Skin problems

If your child has problems with the skin (rash, itching, dry patches), you should always get it checked out. It could be an indication of a childhood illness or an incipient skin disease (atopic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, and much more).

Constipation

Constipation is not a disease, but a common symptom. This often painful discomfort can have various causes and should therefore be clarified by a medical examination.

Abdominal ultrasound can be used to rule out malformations in the intestinal area.

Allergy

The cause of allergic diseases is often found in childhood. It is important for the child's well-being to recognise and treat an allergy as early as possible.

After testing in an allergy outpatient clinic, we will be happy to advise you and inform you about the right therapy for your child (immunotherapy or desensitisation therapy).

Vaccinations

Vaccinations protect your child against infectious diseases and the possible serious consequences of illness. In Austria, there are a number of free immunisations for children up to the age of 15.

There are also important vaccinations that are subject to a fee. We will be happy to inform you about the recommended vaccinations and support you in your decision.

Dressings, burns, suture removals

We provide your pet with professional dressings for larger wounds, such as burns, so that the wounds can heal more quickly and do not leave any scars.

We also perform suture removal.

Laboratory services

Blood work

Sometimes a blood count is necessary for a diagnosis or to authorise an operation. We take blood samples from the vein of babies and children with care.

Jaundice quick check / bilirubin test

More than half of newborn babies develop jaundice a few days after birth. This is caused by the colouring agent bilirubin, which cannot be broken down quickly enough by the still immature liver.

If the level in the blood exceeds a certain limit, treatment is necessary to prevent neurological damage.

Urinalysis

If you suspect a urinary tract infection in your infant or toddler, we can analyse it right here in our clinic and start treatment immediately.

This eliminates laboratory waiting times.

Test for the determination of vitamin, trace element and mineral status in cells

Children are also occasionally affected by deficiency symptoms, e.g. poor eaters tend to take in too few vitamins and other essential nutrients.

The symptoms range from tiredness and paleness to difficulty concentrating and susceptibility to infections. During the growth and development phase, there is an increased need for vitamins and minerals anyway.

Acute laboratory for checking inflammation and iron levels

Before and after antibiotic treatment, it can be useful to check the inflammation level. This allows us to plan your child's treatment in a targeted manner.

We also offer to determine the iron level in the blood, as the need for iron is greatly increased throughout growth. Not only physical and mental development depends on the iron supply, but also the immune system. If recognised and treated in good time, serious late effects can be prevented

Medical technology

ECG

The electrocardiogram is a painless examination that is possible at any age. The ECG can be used to clarify heart murmurs and carry out check-ups on children after heart surgery or children with congenital heart defects.

The ECG is also part of the basic examination for a sports certificate.

Ultrasound - detect and correct hip abnormalities

So-called hip dysplasia (hip malposition) is a common malformation in infants.

An untreated hip abnormality can lead to permanent damage to the femoral head or acetabulum, possibly even to a walking disability later on.

Lung function diagnostics

From the age of 5 years, good conclusions can be drawn from the lung function test. The most common diagnosis is bronchial asthma.

The examination is unspectacular, the child only has to breathe in and out of a small tube.

With this diagnostic imaging, the function of the lungs can be assessed well and progress can be monitored during therapy.

Paediatric neurology, EEG & child psychiatry

Neurology is a medical speciality that deals with the complex system of nerves.

Electroencephalography (EEG) can be used to measure and graphically visualise the electrical activity of the brain.

Possible areas of application include the diagnosis and progression of epilepsy or sleep medicine.

Other services

pierce the ears

Safe ear piercing at your paediatrician: If the parents wish, we also pierce the ears of babies from the age of 4 months.

Shortened frenulum in infants

A congenital shortened frenulum of the tongue restricts the mobility of the tongue. This may mean that your baby sucks more ineffectively and receives less milk.

Cutting the frenulum of the tongue is a minor procedure that we can perform in our outpatient clinic.

Insulin therapy

Children who suffer from diabetes have to measure their blood sugar several times a day, calculate the carbohydrate content of their food and administer the appropriate amount of insulin.

Safe therapy and well-trained carers play an important role in this. We support you and your family to make everyday life easier for your child. In addition to familiarising your child with insulin therapy, we will also inform you about proper nutrition.

Synagis therapy for RSV prophylaxis

Premature babies and immunocompromised infants can be protected from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection with Synagis therapy.

The RS virus causes severe illnesses of the lower respiratory tract. These infections are the main cause of hospitalisation of infants and young children from October to March.

Almost all children become infected in the first two years of life, but the virus is particularly dangerous for premature babies and children with a weak immune system.

Breastfeeding counselling / baby food counselling / nutrition counselling

Breast milk is the best and easiest food for your baby. We will be happy to support you if you have any questions about breastfeeding. The first complementary food can be given from around the sixth month of life.

Get advice and tips on introducing complementary foods from our doctors. You can also find out all about healthy nutrition for your child.

Special nutrition counselling - coeliac disease

Coeliac disease or gluten intolerance is an immunological disease of the intestine and should always be taken seriously. The intolerance is triggered by the gluten protein found in cereals.

To protect the intestines from serious damage, a gluten-free diet must be followed. We can help you make the right food choices.

Clinical-psychological diagnostics/Counselling/
Treatment

The aim is to clarify various issues and to bring about differentiated planning of interventions to reduce mental health problems and improve well-being.

Typical questions in childhood and adolescence, for example:

  • Clarification of developmental delays in various areas
  • school performance (e.g. learning problems, partial performance disorders, concentration difficulties, ...)
  • Behavioural problems and social difficulties (e.g. aggressive behaviour, inhibited behaviour, depression, anxiety, enuresis, encopresis)
  • Psychosomatic complaints (e.g. unclear abdominal pain, headaches, ...)

The procedure: There are several dates.

  1. Appointment: Anamnesis with the child's parents (without child, from adolescence with adolescents and parents together)
  2. and 3rd appointment: Depending on the issue, different standardised test procedures and behavioural observation of the child are used. The number of appointments may vary. In addition, standardised questionnaires and interviews with parents, caregivers, teachers and educators are used to collect information that helps answer the question.

4th appointment: Feedback meeting with parents (together with the child, depending on age), discussion of test results and support measures.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists in the field of paediatrics are specialists with regard to the motor development from infant to adolescent. 

The spectrum of physiotherapeutic measures in paediatrics is wide-ranging (prevention, therapy, rehabilitation, palliation). The individual needs of each child take centre stage.

Based on the physiotherapeutic diagnosis, the treatment is customised for each child (in cooperation with the parents). Physiotherapy with children is usually carried out in a playful manner with a therapeutic background, in small steps and in an age-appropriate manner.

Our physiotherapists offer our patients therapy in the following areas:

  • Diseases of the respiratory tract and lungs

The work aims to help children develop the skills they need to be successful in life. Participation in everyday activities need.

The causes of this are, for example, congenital or previously acquired Disorders of the movement sequence as a result of brain damage or Developmental disorders, sensory impairments, Malfunctions of the Perceptual processing, Disturbances in the Social development and Communication skills and Mental illnesses (ADS/ADHD, autism) and mental disabilities.

  • Development assessment
  • Treatment planning
  • Promoting motor development: The focus is on promoting fine and gross motor skills. This can include the development of grasping, writing and self-care skills.
  • Sensory integration: Occupational therapists can work with children to improve their sensory integration, which helps them to better process stimuli from the environment.
