Dear children, teenagers, and parents

Late summer is the perfect time to enjoy the pleasantly warm days outdoors – and at the same time, to start the autumn well prepared.

Did you experience severe allergy symptoms during the pollen season? If so, now is a good time to reach out to us. We will be happy to advise you on possible evaluations, allergy tests, and if necessary, desensitization.

For your protection during the cold season, we reommend influenza (flu) vaccinations (from mid-November) and, for infants born on or after 2026-04-01, vaccinations against the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Appointments can already be booked (additional vaccination slots are available on Saturday 2026-11-21).

Our practice remains uncomplicated and personal, supported by digital services that give us more time for an individual dialogue:

• By agreeing to have your consultation automatically transcribed by intonate, you’ll simplify our documentation process and free up time for what really matters: The conversation with you.
• Secure messaging through HIN and E-Prescriptions are conveniently available to you.
• Booking appointments is particularly easy via our online system.
• We are constantly improving our practice further, and are currently evaluating an AI-powered medical assistant to provide support over the phone, to cover busy periods as well as calls outside of our office hours.

Here’s another tip for autumn: The podcast Dr. Schnodder & Co. (in German) offers interesting facts about children’s health – well worth a listen for the whole family.

We wish you a lovely, healthy late summer and a great start into autumn!

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.
