Dr. Mails is a normal GP which is handy when you need to get our of work for a few days. However he…read moredoes not like to speak English with me, even though i know he can speak English. But be ready to wait when you go there, as it is just like any other doctors places. Wait, wait, and more waiting.

Medizin Mariahilf/Drs. Mayrhofer & Mückstein have been the doctors I've seen since I first arrived…read morein Vienna from the U.S. about 2 years ago. When I first arrived, I spoke no German, but this wasn't a problem at the Medizin Mariahilf practice. The two lady doctors, Drs. Duarte and Lamel, speak English quite well, and Dr. Mückstein speaks English okay (he's younger than Dr. Mayrhofer). Thankfully I can now communicate in German effectively enough, but for those of you who are also just off the boat (or visiting Wien and catch a cold), this is a decent place to get treatment. You can have lab work done in the mornings M-F on-spot, that is, blood work done at the office without needing to go to yet another clinic or bring a doctor's order elsewhere, which is super convenient. Their office closes at 11:00 daily, at which point the "lab" part of the office also closes. (You can go in the mornings for matters unrelated to blood work, also, though.) I've found their hours to be very convenient, what with being open until different times (until 21:00 on Thursdays, even!) - I think the practice is very accommodating for people with all types of working/study schedules. And, most importantly, I feel like the treatment I've received has been adequate, and the doctors who have treated me have been nice and reasonable. I am satisfied with the care I've received here, and I will continue to go here for my "primary healthcare/internal medical needs" while I live in Vienna. *As seems customary in Vienna for non-specialist physicians, they don't take appointments - it's first come, first served. I haven't found this to be a problem, though, and I've always been seen pretty quickly, even during peak times/flu season, etc.

My wife has been a patient of Prof. Ruth Exner. As a doctor she is exceptional, both in terms of…read moreexpertise and as a human being. We found her divine, humble, kind, friendly, welcoming, professional, knowledgeable and reassuring. She is a good listener and at the same time, takes time to explain the surgical issues/problems and the solutions. For my wife she took well care of her after the operation. Her pre- and post-operation care of patients is adorable. We always felt in safe hands. Her English language skills are excellent and people like us who do not know German well find discussions with her very fruitful. Our whole experience with Prof. Exner was highly positive and great.

What a great clinic! Though I haven't been there as a patient myself but was there in the capacity…read moreof being a photographer having taken image photographs for one of the doctors there. So I got a good feeling of how they work and what the conditions and the staff are like. And I can only say that I, being totally afraid of hospitals, felt really comfortable. Great staff, really friendly and fun, very knowledgeable doctors and the building is really beautiful!
