Dear children, teenagers, and parents

Are you also really looking forward to the colors, the light, and the warmth that spring brings? With the cold season coming to an end, we celebrate the success of the RSV vaccine for newborns: During the winter months, we had almost no small infants admitted to the hospital as a result of RSV cases anymore!

Because we see reduced infection rates from now on, we can focus once more on the preventive checkups for teenagers. We’d be happy to advise you on hay fever and discuss general and medication based treatments. However, allergy tests and desensitization treatments are ideally scheduled for after summer.

You already know us as a fully digitalized pediatric practice. This gives us more time for individual consultations. We are constantly working on new improvements:

• Secure HIN emails and e-prescriptions are now easier to use.
• Our online booking form is popular, and we appreciate that you use this option. Please feel free to give us feedback about your experiences.
• Occasionally we will ask you if you agree to video recordings of your consultations. We will use those recordings exclusively for our own internal training, to improve our counseling and communication skills.
• Speaking of recordings: Be sure to check out the podcast Dr. Schnodder & Co. (in German) – it’s really great!

You can easily reach us by public transport. We encourage you to come to your next appointment without a car.

Welcome to the beautiful season!

In addition to improved hygiene and nutrition, vaccination programs are responsible for extended live expectancy and social progress. To make vaccinations as pleasant as possible for you, we provide a few resources to help you prepare:

• You can listen to the stories of Tara & Pips as audio books through an app. There are many options for topics and languages available. Ask us for an access code for more stories during your next visit.
• Parents can find information and tips in this talk series (in German).
• How you can help yourself with vaccinations: Information for older children and for parents (in German).

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.
