Pediatricians in Munich (various districts)

Could someone please recommend an English-speaking pediatrician here in Munich?

Thanks.
Shane Cook.

We live in Lehel and recently went to see Dr Kirk Lampe for our daughter's 2 year check-up. His practice is in Brienner Str. 54A (at Stiglmeier Platz) Tel. 54212651. He worked for a time in a hospital in Australia and speaks English - he also takes patients with public insurance. My impression was that he was excellent with my children, took great care over the check up and was very friendly. It is a bit of a trek up Brienner Str., though.

Do you / does anyone have any experience with the practice of Dr Max Schweighart at Maximilianstr. 56? He's closer so I'm wondering.

Hope this helps,

Tessa

We're also in Lehel, but we trek across town to Implerstrasse (U3/U6). English speaking doctors in the praxis and (seemingly) many English-speaking patients. I don't know their stance on insurance, but perhaps worth a check? Dr. Bose-O'Reiley @ Implerstr 23. Tel 0897201560
Good luck!

That's exactly where I go with my kids.

Natalia, we really like our pediatrician. She's right at Karl-Preis Platz (U2, buses.)

Dr. Önaldi
Rosenheimer Str. 174
089.400.666

She speaks excellent English, takes all insurances, and is really good with kids.

I've seen an English colleague visiting Dr. Groethuysen in Untergiesing. I don't know if she accepts public patients but the name is Dutch which strongly suggests an English speaker.

Hi, my daughter's paediatrician is Dr. Groethuysen (who is German, by the way). She was recommended to me by a distant relative of my husband's and she speaks good English. She takes both public and private insurance. However, when I went there the first time, she wanted to make sure that we lived nearby. She said it's better in case the child has fever (and, I suppose, you don't have a car) or is seriously ill.

Natalia, we use Dr. Groethuysen and really like her. She's right on Sommerstrasse near the corner of Humboldt. She takes public insurance. Not sure if she speaks English, but she probably does.

We live in Lehel too and have always been to Dr. Schweighart in the Maximilianstrasse (he's right at the Max II monument). He's fine. We've had no problems at all. He's kind, competent and patient but I have to admit that, as we've always been happy with him, (3 kids over nine years,) we don't have anyone to compare him to. It has been very handy on occasions to have someone close by. No idea if he speaks English though.
One of his "Vorzimmerdamen" (the older one) is a bit of a dragon. Don't let that put you off though. She's very competent and nice enough once you've got used to her!

We went ahead and saw Dr. Lampe. I didn't like him at all, he was pretty rude. There was a point when one of my boys was screaming and I was trying to calm him down so that I could hear what the doctor was trying to say and he said "Are you going to listen to me or should I see another patient?" Also the way he talked to me was just rude and unwelcoming. Maybe that's the way doctors are here? Also, his English is ok, and there is only one receptionist who speaks a little English so it was hard to communicate. I'll try the other recs in this thread. He seems like an OK doctor, just not the one for me.

Hello all,

Does any one of you have experience with this praxis? Good or Bad?

thanks.

Hi,
I know there are some recommendations elsewhere on TT for pediatricians around Munich but none I saw in the "south" part of Munich

- Obersendling (Sendling), Solln, Thaalkirchen...

Can someone recommend a pediatrician for this area? Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Is this close enough (Sendling)? Don't know any others, sorry.

Here are two that I know of. Dr Berz I have met and my friend with young (under 5's) children seems quite happy with him.

Dr. Berz, Diefenbacherstr. 45 (Solln) Tel 089-797878

Dr. Med. Birgit Goldschmitt-Wuttge, and her male colleague, Dr. Brijnin, Frans-Hals-Str. 31 in Solln. Speaks English. 089 / 79 10 07 97 www.kinderpraxis-goldschmitt-wuttge.de

We are very happy with Dr. Soppa in Solln. Garathausener Str. 15. 74846980.

For anyone with private insurance, our pediatrician will come to your house. She is both American and German board certified. Her name is Dr Despina Rüssmann. She is really sweet and very professional.

Can anyone recommend a pediatrician in Schwabing/Maxvorstadt? It's not important that s/he speak English. Thanks for any tips.

I am very happy with the practice at Habsburgerplatz (on the corner of Habsburgerpl. and Ainmillerstr.) They are a family practice, but they have been absolutely wonderful with my 2yo daughter. They always see her right away, and they speak excellent English. My daughter does better with Dr. Bruckmayer than she ever did with her regular pedi back in Texas. They tend to her very well, and we are usually in and out in less than 30 minutes. I was in the process of finding a pedi myself, but DD got very ill very suddenly and I had no choice but to go to the nearest medical practice, and I was so happy with them I stayed

Good Luck.

Very impressed by my son's Kinderartz and the practice as a whole: Dr. Peter Schwick, Hirschauer Str. 8, 80538 (he speaks great English and his practice is next to the Geisenhofer Woman's Clinic next to the English Garden). Telephone No. 340 89 785

Can anyone tell me who are the GOOD kinderartze for englishspeakers in the bogenhausen area?

I mean GOOD in quality and care.

I could not find a list as such anywhere...

Personal experiences are what I am looking for majorly.

thank you.

Does anyone know of any other pediatricians (not necessarily English-speaking)? Ever since Dr. Gerspach (Schwabing) retired, I have not been able to find one I like and I actually prefer it when doctors don't speak English with me...

Ok, has anyone dealt with Dr. Roithmaier on Leonrodplatz? Otherwise I will have to take chronic cough son back to Dr. Kugler (where it is always crowded and rushed).

Does anyone know of a good and english speaking pediatrician in Bogenhausen.I heard of Dr.Felkel Oskar at BuschingStrasse
,but not sure of his contact details.Pls help

Dr. Oskar Felkel, Bushicngerstr. 3, 91 46 96 (info taken from the phone book)

Does anyone know of a Kinderarzt near Arabellapark,who speaks English and takes Public Insurance ??

What about in Giesing/Ramersdorf area or further out in Putzbrunn?

Does anybody know good pediatrician near Bogenhausen or Englschalking? I just got a baby and would like to have pediatrician near our home.

Our pediatrician scares the bejesus out of our toddler and doesn't seem to care. So we're looking for a new one in Maxvorstadt/Schwabing or thereabouts. If you can recommend one to us, English-speaking nice but not necessary, please post it on this thread or PM me. Thanks.

I've visited Dr.Bruno Netzel at Arabellapark.She is very nice and speaks good English..Her number is 089-956051.I guess she is open on Saturday mornings as well.You could just give her a call and visit...

Just for info, Dr. Felkel in Buschingstraße (dream doctor of the old school) took well deserved retirement (aged 80!!!) in July 2007.

So has anyone been to Dr Christoph Sengespeik yet?

We're looking for a pediatrican in Bogenhausen, preferably near Prinzregentenplatz.

Went to Dr Lampe and Dr Bose-Oreiley...well hmmmm very unfriendly...and also receptionists really rude...I recommend

Dr Isabelle Ritz
Freischutz str 5
089 9394873

Could always check here: Pediatricians in Munich (various districts), Recommendations for English-speakers

As suggested by sillyoldslapper, we went to this dr last week without an appointment as my son was ill at school...she speaks very good english and saw us no problem at short notice. I would recommend this kinderartz.

Hello!!
Im wondering if anyone has an english speaking ped. in Germering or around there. Anyone that has had experience with one around here. We currently have to drive all the way into Marienplatz, and it is brutal with 2 kids during morning time.

thanks ahead for your help!!!

We love love love our pediatrician

Dr. Kugler
in Schwabing, Herzogstr 5..

He is fantastic and has 7 children of his own...can't say enough good things about him.

Does he speak English? Do you know if he accepts public insurance? Thanks!

yes, he does accept public insurance...not sure about new patients...and yes he does speak english but I'm not sure how well, since I do speak german.
You shoul ask your questions over the phonefirst : 089- 341 076

Does anyone have an English speaking pediatrician they can recommend in Isarvorstadt (near Ubahn Fraunhoferstr)? There are a couple of recommendations here already which are possibilities (Maxmilllianstr and Implerstr), but I was hoping for something a little closer to home.

I am also looking for someone near Goetheplatz, Sendlinger Tor or Marienplatz! I currently see a Pediatrician near Baldeplatz, however find her not particularly sympathisch and the dingy premises are depressing.

Any personal recommendations appreciated.

FYI _ I just tried to make an appointment with Dr. Kugler, but he is not accepting new patients. So I am also on the search for a new doc for my kid. As Renia mentioned, any personal recommendations would be appreciated. Anywhere in Central Munich would be fine for me.
