FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BY PATIENTS

WHAT IS A PRIVATE DOCTOR?

As a private dermatologist in 1030 Vienna, I do not have a contract with the usual health insurance funds. This means you will initially pay the costs of your doctor's visit yourself. Afterwards, you can submit the invoice to your health insurance for reimbursement (the non  private state insurance usually covers only a portion of the costs, the private insurance usually covers all costs).

ARE THERE WAITING TIMES?

As a private practitioner, I can manage my schedule and patient appointments, which generally results in little to no waiting time in my dermatology practice in 1030 Vienna.

HOW CAN I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?

To make an appointment at my dermatology practice in 1030 Vienna, please call us or use the online appointment scheduling.
