Emergencies

Many medical issues need to be treated as quickly as possible. In case of emergeny, you will get an appointment on the same day, as soon as you can come. Simply give us a call so that we can make sure a doctor will immediately care for you when you come.

Our family doctors can treat emergencies such as, for example:   

  • Severe wounds and abrasions

  • Allergic reactions

Emergency visits are billed according to the Swiss TARMED medical rate tables.

If you call us outside of office hours, for example in the middle of the night, our voice mail message will provide you the number of the appropriate cantonal medical service. This service can put you in contact with on-call doctors.
