Private Medical On-Call Service · Berlin Spandau
Private Doctor Home Visit Spandau
The private medical home-visit service in Spandau is an acute-care service by RAB Arztbesuche that brings licensed physicians into the Berlin district of Spandau within 60 to 90 minutes — daily from 6 am to midnight.
Spandau is Berlin's westernmost district — with its old-town character, broad waterside areas in Kladow and Gatow, the industrial heritage of Siemensstadt, and the residential quarters of Wilhelmstadt, Hakenfelde and Staaken. Our specialist team operates daily from 6 am to midnight — visiting private patients on the Wannsee shore as well as families in Wilhelmstadt. Typical arrival time: 40 to 75 minutes.

Spandau — old town, waterside areas and established neighbourhoods
The district of Spandau stretches from Spandau central station across the historic old town, Wilhelmstadt, Hakenfelde, Siemensstadt and Haselhorst southwards to Staaken, and further south through Gatow and Kladow to the Wannsee. More than 240,000 people live here. The mix is classic West Berlin: an established middle class in Wilhelmstadt and Hakenfelde, premium waterside living in Kladow and Gatow, industrial heritage and generous 1930s housing in Siemensstadt, large residential estates in the Falkenhagener Feld and Staaken.
The private-patient clientele lives mainly in the waterside areas of Kladow and Gatow, as well as in the quieter streets of Hakenfelde — villas, single-family houses, terraced houses with gardens, often overlooking the Havel or the Wannsee. To this we add long-established Berlin private-patient families in Wilhelmstadt and Haselhorst, and a growing number of older patients in the large housing estates.
Typical conditions
On house calls we see the full range: febrile infections, bronchitis, sinusitis, gastrointestinal complaints, urinary tract infections, migraine, back pain and blood-pressure crises. Among the older clientele in Kladow, Gatow and Hakenfelde we add care for heart failure, diabetes, COPD and mobility limitations. In Wilhelmstadt and Siemensstadt we frequently see families with childhood respiratory infections and acute pain syndromes in working parents.
Settled clientele and calm care
Spandau is a district with its own rhythm — westerly, calmer, oriented towards the water. We respect that: no fuss, no hurry beyond what is medically necessary. For regular patients in Kladow and Gatow we plan progress visits in advance too. 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 Spandau
From Charlottenburg we travel via Heerstrasse or Spandauer Damm to central Spandau, Wilhelmstadt and Siemensstadt — arrival 30 to 45 minutes. Kladow and Gatow we reach via Heerstrasse and Gatower Strasse in 55 to 75 minutes. Hakenfelde and the Falkenhagener Feld via Nonnendammallee and Falkenseer Chaussee in 45 to 60 minutes. Staaken in the west via Heerstrasse in 55 to 70 minutes.
Parking in Kladow and Gatow is usually relaxed — villas with their own driveways, single-family houses, well-kept front gardens. In Wilhelmstadt and Siemensstadt we ask for the bell name and floor. For house calls in the large housing complexes in Staaken or the Falkenhagener Feld we clarify staircase and apartment number on the phone.

Hours and arrival time
RAB is available daily from 6 am to midnight — 365 days a year. In Spandau we expect 40 to 75 minutes arrival time from the moment we accept the call. Central Spandau, Wilhelmstadt and Siemensstadt are at the lower end; Kladow and Gatow at the upper. In the evening and at weekends — when Heerstrasse eases — the journey is significantly faster.
The specialist expertise applies throughout the district — including in Kladow and Gatow, where the journey is longest. For planned follow-ups we agree concrete time windows so that you do not have to wait all day.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Spandau
Family on the Havel shore in Kladow
A family with two school-age children in a single-family house with Havel views around Imchenallee. Both children have developed high fever and sore throats overnight. Rather than taking both to a weekend emergency department, a specialist comes to the house, examines them in turn, rules out a streptococcal infection with a rapid test and issues school certificates.
Senior in a villa in Gatow
An 81-year-old private patient — a retired lawyer — in a villa in Gatow near Imchenstrasse, with known coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation. He calls on Sunday evening because he has been feeling chest pressure since the afternoon that has not fully resolved. We attend, rule out an acute coronary syndrome with an ECG, advise and arrange a cardiology review for Monday.
Family in Siemensstadt
A working mother in a renovated old-build apartment in Siemensstadt near Goebelplatz with a febrile urinary tract infection. Her husband is on a business trip; a child is at home sick from nursery. We attend, examine, treat with antibiotics and issue sick note and prescription — one arrival, consolidated care.
Couple in Hakenfelde
An older couple in a terraced house in Hakenfelde, both long-standing private patients. In autumn they regularly have their influenza vaccination given at home, because the journey to the practice has become increasingly tiring. We combine vaccination, a brief review of their known internal-medicine conditions and medication review in one visit.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly does a doctor arrive in Spandau?
In central Spandau, Wilhelmstadt, Siemensstadt and Haselhorst we expect 35 to 50 minutes from the moment we accept the call. Hakenfelde and the Falkenhagener Feld 50 to 65 minutes. Kladow and Gatow on the waterside in the south of the district take 55 to 75 minutes — we give a concrete time window when you call.
Do you also visit Kladow and Gatow?
Yes, regularly. Kladow and Gatow on the Havel and Wannsee shore are among our most frequently served waterside locations. The journey takes longer than to other Spandau Ortsteile — but a calm, thorough house call with no waiting room comes at the end. For recurring house calls we agree fixed time windows in advance.
Do you treat children?
Yes. Childhood respiratory infections, middle-ear infections, fever and gastrointestinal illness are common call-outs in Wilhelmstadt, Hakenfelde, Kladow and Gatow. 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 Spandau — we issue documentation suitable for direct submission to both the Beihilfe office and the private insurer. For regular patients in Kladow and Gatow billing often runs directly with the private insurer.
