Dear children, teenagers, and parents

We have some great news: Our team has grown and you will get to know our new colleagues during your next visits. Mrs. Romina Müller joined as MPA, and Mr. Dijon Maliqi will be an MPA apprentice with us for three years. We are very grateful for their support. Welcome to Kinderarztpraxis Kilchberg!

What else is new?

• In the near future, we will be offering desensitization treatments and corresponding consultation to all interested children and teenagers who are about to start their next treatment cycle.
• Appointments for the flu vaccination (influenza) can now be booked online. In order not to strain the doctors’ agendas, these will be carried out by our medical practice assistants from the end of October.
• Vaccination against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) will be available from November for all babies born from April 2024. We are very pleased that this important vaccine has already been introduced this year and hope to significantly reduce the number of serious RSV infections and hospital stays. Talk to us about it!

With the colder season, we expect the demand for infection related medical appointments to increase. We have therefore decided to postpone non-urgent appointments (e.g. developmental examinations from the age of 6) until next spring. Vaccinations are now often carried out by our MPAs.

At Kinderarztpraxis Kilchberg, we thoroughly feel the effects of the ongoing supply crisis on pediatric and general practitioner care (Why this is the case and what you can do about it). Hence, we unfortunately cannot always answer your requests by phone or e-mail immediately, and we will have to prioritize very urgent cases when making appointments. Please continue to use our online appointment booking whenever possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We wish you colorful autumn days!

Dr. med. Martin Rössler & Dr. med. Meryem Hosse
Specialists for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, FMH

Please do not park on our neighbors’ private spots or in front of their garages. Whenever our patient parking left from the entrance is full, you can find public parking lanes downhill, along the left side of Paradiesstrasse (starting at the blue hydrant, please don’t block entrances). Alternatively, you can find marked spots in Mönchhofstrasse. Thank you!

Our practice participates in a pilot project operated by Intonate GmbH which enables automatic discussion transcripts of consultations. This frees up time on our side to focus better on our patients. In this first phase, we can test and help to shape the new system. This is why it is possible that we ask you whether you allow us to run this system in the background while we conduct our consultation. We would appreciate your consent very much, and can reassure you that the confidentiality of the collected data will be granted at all times.

You can often reduce your health insurance premiums by up to 15% by opting into the family doctor model (“Hausarztmodell”). Through our membership in the ZimDoc medical network, we entered into family doctor contracts with many health insurers.
