The special outpatient clinic for rheumatic conditions has a fundamental maxim: “Early detection determines future quality of life.” Unclear blood results and unexplained rheumatological complaints are taken seriously and assessed individually. Experts and specialists from many disciplines are available whenever required. During an outpatient visit, we offer “everything under one roof” from the laboratory to the joint specialist.

The rheumatism outpatient clinic co-operates closely with Diagnosehaus 18. Moreover, patients benefit from the interdisciplinary cooperation with the IMCL laboratory and the experts for Orthopedics, Physical Medicine and Nutrition.
Capillary microscopy, offered only by a few healthcare providers, allows efficient diagnosis of the most minute vascular changes – painlessly and within a few minutes.
By phone: Monday–Friday: 7:30 am–4:00 pm at +43 1 404 22 ext. 2802 or ext. 2820.
Outpatient consultation fee: € 58.00
Please note: As we are a private outpatient clinic without direct billing to a social insurance provider, patients have to pay the outpatient consultation fee themselves. Any reimbursement of costs must therefore be clarified by the patients or insured persons themselves with the social insurance provider.
