Private Medical On-Call Service · Berlin Neukölln
Private Doctor Home Visit Neukölln
The private medical home-visit service in Neukölln is an acute-care service by RAB Arztbesuche that brings licensed physicians into the Berlin district of Neukölln within 60 to 90 minutes — daily from 6 am to midnight.
Neukölln stretches from the dense, young, internationally shaped north around the Reuterkiez and Hermannplatz far southward into the quiet detached-house enclaves of Britz, Buckow and Rudow. Our specialist team operates daily from 6 am to midnight — visiting young professionals in old-build apartments, families in terraced houses, and older patients in the Gropiusstadt. Typical arrival time: 30 to 60 minutes.

Neukölln — from the Reuterkiez to Rudow, more varied than any other district
Neukölln is one of Berlin's most layered districts. In the north — Reuterkiez, Schillerkiez, Hermannplatz, Sonnenallee — a young, internationally shaped population lives in dense old-build quarters: tech workers, designers, international students, second- and third-generation Berliner families. English is the second everyday language, in many flats the first. The typical patient in the Reuterkiez is in her mid-thirties, works remotely for an international company and expects a doctor who understands that way of life.
Further south the district changes fundamentally: Britz, Buckow and Rudow are detached-house and terraced-house enclaves with settled family structures, front gardens, semi-detached houses and a long-established private-patient clientele. The Gropiusstadt in the south-east is Berlin's large prefab-housing area with a high proportion of older patients whose adult children frequently live elsewhere in the city.
Typical conditions
In the Reuterkiez and Schillerkiez we frequently see influenza-like illness, bronchitis, acute migraine, gastrointestinal complaints, stress-related symptoms and follow-up visits after a practice consultation. In Britz, Buckow and Rudow family and adult medicine dominate: fever in children, respiratory illness, urinary tract infections, back pain, blood-pressure crises. In the Gropiusstadt we add age-related care — heart failure, diabetes, COPD, early dementia and the aftermath of falls.
Plain language, fair billing
Neukölln is a district in which plain words count. We explain diagnosis, treatment and likely costs transparently — especially for self-payers without German private insurance. Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) via our private medical accounts office, in English on request for submission to a foreign insurer. For Beihilfe-entitled patients in Britz and Buckow we issue documentation suitable for direct submission.
Emergency? Dial the emergency number
If unconscious, with severe chest pain, breathlessness or heavy bleeding, dial 112 immediately. Our service complements the emergency services — it does not replace them.

Arrival and logistics in Neukölln
From Charlottenburg we travel via the Tiergarten tunnel, Mehringdamm and Hermannstrasse into northern Neukölln — Reuterkiez, Schillerkiez and Sonnenallee are reached in 35 to 50 minutes during the day. For Britz, Buckow, Rudow and Gropiusstadt we use the city motorway A100 with the Buschkrugallee exit or the B96 southbound — arrival 45 to 60 minutes.
Parking in the Reuterkiez and Schillerkiez is difficult in the evenings; we ask you on the phone for the exact address, floor and bell name, and for any hint about a rear courtyard or side building. In the homeowner Ortsteile of Britz, Buckow and Rudow the situation is relaxed — most houses have their own driveway or a quiet street outside.
Availability
Hours and arrival time
RAB is available daily from 6 am to midnight — 365 days a year. In Neukölln we expect arrival times of 30 to 60 minutes from the moment we accept the call. The north of the district is closer to the lower end of the range; the south with Rudow and Gropiusstadt closer to the upper.
The specialist expertise applies throughout. For English-speaking patients in the Reuterkiez we deliberately assign a doctor with the right language skills — best to mention this when you call. In Britz, Buckow and Rudow we rely on doctors with general-practice experience familiar with family settings.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Neukölln
Designer in the Reuterkiez
A 34-year-old self-employed professional in an old-build near Reuterplatz calls on Sunday with high fever, sore throat and hoarseness — she has a presentation in London on Tuesday. We attend, rule out a bacterial cause, prescribe the appropriate therapy and issue English-language documentation for her international health insurer.
Family in a terraced house in Britz
A family of four in a terraced house around Krokusstrasse. Both children have a fever, one also has earache, and the mother is herself under the weather. We come, examine all three, diagnose middle-ear infection in one child and a respiratory infection in the others — one arrival, three treatments, prescriptions and certificates.
Senior in the Gropiusstadt
A 79-year-old private patient in the Gropiusstadt with heart failure and emerging mobility limits. His daughter lives in Wilmersdorf and has booked the house call service because her father has been increasingly short of breath for days. We attend, check oxygen saturation, lung findings and leg oedema, adjust the diuretic dose and arrange a follow-up in a week.
International flatshare in the Schillerkiez
A flatshare of three international professionals — an Italian architect, a US tech worker, a French PhD candidate — calls because two of the three are laid low with acute gastrointestinal complaints. We attend, treat both in turn, advise on differential diagnosis and issue English-language documentation.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly does a doctor arrive in Neukölln?
In northern Neukölln — Reuterkiez, Schillerkiez, Hermannplatz — typically 30 to 50 minutes from the moment we accept the call. In Britz, Buckow, Rudow and the Gropiusstadt 45 to 60 minutes. We give a concrete time window at the point of booking.
Will you come to rear buildings in the Reuterkiez?
Of course. The Reuterkiez is full of old-builds with rear courtyards, cross-buildings and side wings — that is everyday work for the house call service. We only ask that you clearly state the floor and the name on the bell when you call, so we are not searching the courtyard.
Do you treat English-speaking patients?
Yes, in northern Neukölln it is almost the default. Several specialist doctors in the team consult fluently in English and issue English-language documentation suitable for submission to foreign insurers. Please mention this briefly on the call so that we can plan accordingly.
How does billing work without German private insurance?
We bill under the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) through our private medical accounts office. For self-payers without German PKV we issue a detailed invoice — in English on request — that can be submitted in the home country or through a travel and international-health insurer. We quote the expected costs transparently before the visit.
