About the clinic

Diffusive-toxic goiter treatment at Döbling Private Hospital in Vienna, Austria, centers on a multidisciplinary approach that combines precise laboratory testing with modern surgical techniques. Complex thyroid diagnostics at the facility typically cost around $400–$700. The hospital holds EFQM accreditation and provides all necessary care under one roof, from initial hormone screening to advanced inpatient surgery.

Thyroid diagnostics and assessment

The clinic provides a specific diagnostic pathway for patients with suspected diffusive-toxic goiter. Specialists use these tools to confirm the diagnosis and plan the next steps of care.

Hormone lab. Physicians check blood levels to determine the functional state of the thyroid gland.
Thyroid ultrasound. This scan identifies enlargement or the presence of nodules.
Scintigraphy. This imaging technique helps identify hot and cold nodules within the thyroid tissue.
Thyroid puncture. Doctors perform this procedure to test for malignant cells in suspicious nodules.

Treatment options for goiter

Döbling Private Hospital offers both pharmacological and surgical solutions. The choice depends on the severity of the goiter and the patient's hormone levels. Specialist Dr. Christian Pötzi focuses specifically on thyroid diseases to guide these treatment decisions.

Medication therapy. This non-invasive outpatient option helps manage hormone levels using drug treatments.
Surgical intervention. This inpatient procedure is a definitive treatment for goiter or hot nodules. Surgeons use cosmetic suture techniques to minimize scarring and improve the aesthetic result. The package for surgery typically includes the hospital stay and follow-up care.

Why patients choose this clinic

As part of the PremiQaMed Group, the hospital uses modern infrastructure, including the da Vinci Xi robot-assisted surgery system for various procedures. Patients benefit from flexible surgery appointments and a complete lack of waiting times. The multidisciplinary thyroid center allows surgeons like Dr. Katayoun Tonninger-Bahadori to collaborate closely with laboratory specialists. This setup ensures that every patient receives a tailored plan for managing diffusive-toxic goiter.

We are really grateful to Bookimed for helping our dream come true

We are really grateful to Bookimed for helping our dream come true. My daughter was diagnosed with strabismus lazy eye problem when she was 1,5 years old, now she is 10 years old. After treatments with patching and wearing glasses her eyes still didn’t fully straightened. That’s why recently we decided to do surgery and started searching best doctors and hospitals around the world online. While searching from google I found Bookimed services. First, I thought it’s an automated bot, but then suddenly Hanna medical assistant replied to me saying that she is a human. I still didn’t believe, then she offered to talk through phone call and we discussed our needs/expectations. Since then around 1 year Hanna was keeping in touch with me supporting with arrangements of our daughter’s eye surgery. Through Bookimed we were able to book an appointment with Dr. Stifter, the best paediatric eye doctor in Vienna, Austria and she conducted the surgery herself and her team. All doctors in her team are professionals, Dobling hospital is very clean and well equipped. Surgery costed for us €10000 with one night stay at the hospital. One just small negative thing is after surgery check up at Professor Stifter’s office costed another €400, in my opinion is a lot, where we also additionally paid €500 for before surgery check up at the same place. In overall, surgery was successful and we are thankful to Bookimed services(the cost for Bookimed services was included in the total amount of €10000, around € 1800 for patient management services).

How professional and helpful was Hanna, Bookimed medical assistant, throughout the process.

Professor Stifter charged a high price for after surgery check up.

About Bookimed service

Verified review.

I'm 32 years. Left-sided coxarthrosis. I was looking for options for superficial endoprosthetics. I turned to bookimed and I was offered a clinic in Austria. The operation was estimated at about 30-32 thousand euros, but since the technique is innovative (ceramic surface prosthesis for young patients), I agreed. Before that, I several times discussed what kind of operation we are talking about with the contact person from bookimed (Roman) and the doctor. Upon arrival in Austria, Roman met me. A very pleasant and caring person, I am very grateful to him for his help and a warm welcome. The next day after arriving in the morning, I ended up in the clinic. I went through all the necessary tests, and they brought me 2 contracts for signing, 1 from an anesthesiologist, the second for prosthetics. I noticed that the contract for Hip Replacement (replacement of the hip joint), and I was going to the Hip Resurfacing procedure and I had doubts. Two nurses forced me to sign a contract, but without communicating with the doctor, I refused. After Dr. Stefan Malkowitz came, I started a conversation with him about the procedure, as it turned out the doctor deceived me and wanted to do a regular total arthroplasty. He skillfully tried to manipulate on the patient's weaknesses (you will quickly recover, you will not have any pain, etc.) in every possible way, avoiding a direct answer about the prosthesis. As a result, it turned out that he did not do such a procedure (Hip Resurfacing) and began to move out, that he did not understand me. In fact, he was given all the information about the procedure that I wanted to do, the doctor apparently thought he could do it. In fact, I spent 2 days of which 11 hours spent on the road. A bunch of stress and pain nerves in the leg. From here I learned several lessons: 1. Read the contracts that are slipped to you for signature. 2. Discuss all the details several times before the trip. 3. In Europe, people are deceived in the same way as elsewhere
