Private Medical On-Call Service · Berlin Reinickendorf
Private Doctor Home Visit Reinickendorf
The private medical home-visit service in Reinickendorf is an acute-care service by RAB Arztbesuche that brings licensed physicians into the Berlin district of Reinickendorf within 60 to 90 minutes — daily from 6 am to midnight.
Reinickendorf stretches from the former Tegel airport in the south to the Märkische Schweiz countryside and Frohnau at the northern city limits — a mix of upscale suburban living, an established Berlin middle class and large housing complexes in the Märkisches Viertel. Our specialist team operates daily from 6 am to midnight. Typical arrival time: 45 to 80 minutes.

Reinickendorf — from the Märkisches Viertel to Frohnau at the city edge
Reinickendorf is large and varied: Tegel with the former airport and the residential quarters around the Tegeler See, the Märkisches Viertel as a large prefab-housing area, Borsigwalde and Wittenau in the middle of the district, and to the north the upscale residential areas of Hermsdorf, Waidmannslust, Lübars, Heiligensee and — right at the city edge — Frohnau with its villas, tree-lined streets and suburban character. Konradshöhe and Tegelort sit on a peninsula by the water.
The private-patient clientele is especially marked in the north: Frohnau, Hermsdorf and Heiligensee are classic premium family Ortsteile with villas, single-family houses, established academic households and a high density of privately insured patients. In the Märkisches Viertel and Borsigwalde senior-care questions dominate — a growing group whose adult children frequently live in other districts or in the surrounding region.
Typical conditions
In the northern premium Ortsteile we see classic family and adult medicine: fever in children, respiratory infections, migraine, gastrointestinal complaints, urinary tract infections and back pain. Among the upscale and increasingly older clientele in Frohnau and Hermsdorf, internal-medicine and cardiology issues are added — hypertension, heart failure, diabetes. In the Märkisches Viertel age-related complaints, wound care and scheduled house calls for restricted mobility dominate.
Discretion and settled structures
Reinickendorf — especially in the north — is a district of settled family structures. We know this from years of work: often it is the adult children who book the house call service for their parents in Frohnau or Hermsdorf, while the parents themselves are reserved and reluctant to cause any fuss. We arrive calmly, thoroughly, without haste. Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) via our private medical accounts office, and on request directly with the private insurer or Beihilfe office.
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 Reinickendorf
From Charlottenburg we travel via Heerstrasse and the city motorway A111 towards Tegel and further north — we reach Tegel and Borsigwalde in 30 to 45 minutes, Hermsdorf and Waidmannslust in 50 to 65 minutes, Frohnau and Heiligensee in 60 to 80 minutes. Konradshöhe and Tegelort are accessed via the Tegeler See and take similar times to Heiligensee.
In the Märkisches Viertel and in Borsigwalde we ask for the staircase, apartment number and the name on the bell. In Frohnau, Hermsdorf and Heiligensee the situation is relaxed — private driveways, quiet streets, plenty of green. With senior patients we briefly coordinate with relatives or the nursing service before arrival so that access is smooth.
Availability
Hours and arrival time
RAB is available daily from 6 am to midnight — 365 days a year. In Reinickendorf we expect arrival times of 45 to 80 minutes — Tegel and Borsigwalde at the lower end, Frohnau and Heiligensee at the upper. In the evening and at weekends the route via the A111 is often significantly faster.
The specialist expertise applies in Frohnau at the city edge too. For planned follow-ups with older patients — especially in Hermsdorf, Heiligensee and Frohnau — we agree fixed weekdays and time windows so that you do not have to wait all day.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Reinickendorf
Family in a villa in Frohnau
A family with two young children in a villa around Zeltinger Platz. One child develops a fever above 39.5 °C overnight with earache, the second is also under the weather. Rather than driving both to a crowded weekend emergency department, a specialist comes to the house, examines them in turn, diagnoses middle-ear infection and issues prescriptions and school sick notes.
Older couple in Hermsdorf
A 79-year-old private patient and his 77-year-old wife in a single-family house in Hermsdorf. Both have developed a febrile respiratory infection over the weekend; the husband is already coughing yellow-green sputum. We attend, examine both, clinically rule out pneumonia in the husband, treat and arrange a follow-up in three days.
Senior in Heiligensee by the water
An 84-year-old widow in a house by the Heiligensee, organised by her adult daughter in Steglitz. We take on the regular family-doctor care — blood pressure, diabetes, early dementia, medication adjustment — and coordinate with the nursing service and the daughter by phone. Billing runs directly through the private medical accounts office.
Working patient in Tegel
A 52-year-old private patient in a terraced house near the Tegeler See — a commercial pilot, currently signed off with suspected disc prolapse. Instead of travelling to the practice he wants a house call for progress review and adjustment of pain therapy. We attend, examine, document for the airline's occupational-health doctors and arrange an MRI if needed.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly does a doctor arrive in Reinickendorf?
In Tegel, Borsigwalde and Wittenau we expect 30 to 50 minutes from the moment we accept the call. In Hermsdorf, Waidmannslust and Lübars 50 to 65 minutes. Frohnau and Heiligensee at the northern city edge take 60 to 80 minutes — we give a concrete time window when you call.
Do you visit Frohnau and Heiligensee?
Yes, regularly. Frohnau, Hermsdorf and Heiligensee are among the most frequently served premium residential areas at the city edge. The journey takes longer than in the inner city — but at the end of it lies a calm, thorough house call with no waiting room.
Do you treat children?
Yes — childhood respiratory infections, middle-ear infections, fever and gastrointestinal illness are common call-outs in Frohnau, Hermsdorf and Heiligensee. Our specialist doctors are experienced in paediatric first care and refer to paediatric colleagues for specialist follow-up where needed.
How does billing work?
We bill under the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) through our private medical accounts office. For Beihilfe-entitled patients — frequent in the northern Ortsteile of Frohnau and Hermsdorf — we issue documentation suitable for direct submission to both the Beihilfe office and the private insurer.
