When we moved to Zürich, we looked for a new pediatrician for our six month old daughter. Swiss Medikids seems like the right place for emergencies: open 8am to 8pm every day, including holidays, they accept unannounced visits, and they also provide lab/imaging/first care service. While they are certainly good for emergencies, they also the best possible option for non-emergency stuff, and they are in fact our pediatrician of choice.
Let me list why:
- evidence based, professional, scientifically sound medicine. These people are internationally trained, updated in their education, and they know what they do
- no homeopatic / anti-vaccination nonsense (not so easy in Switzerland)
- they listen a lot to parents, and they record everything is said and discussed. Even if you may see a different doctor if you don't have an appointment, they know all about you.
- doctors speak multiple languages, interact with kids, gain their trust
- staff is extremely kind and attentive
- they are always available on a short notice, although in that case you might have to wait a bit.
I cannot recommend them more. They successfully helped us to go though little emergencies, some (now resolved) medical conditions, periodic checkups, development monitoring, seasonal stuff, and more. read more
