About the clinic

Döbling Private Clinic in Vienna, Austria, provides specialized care for injuries of bones and joints through six dedicated orthopedic centers. The facility is known for its attending physician system. This model allows patients to choose their own specialist for every step of the process. All medical services work under one roof, covering everything from initial imaging to post-surgical rehabilitation.

The orthopedic department is led by Dr. Heinz Winkler, a surgeon with over 40 years of experience. Dr. Winkler served as the President of the European Bone and Joint Infection Society. He also led the Central Bone Bank Vienna for over 5 years. He specializes in bone transplantation, endoprosthetics, and the management of complex bone infections at the Osteitis Center Vienna.

Diagnostic services

The clinic provides a fast diagnostic process using on-site imaging technology. Specialists use these tools to create precise surgical plans for trauma and chronic conditions.

X-ray imaging. This is used for the primary assessment of fractures and joint alignment.
CT scan. Detailed bone visualization helps in planning complex reconstructions.
MRI. This scan helps doctors evaluate soft tissue injuries, such as ligament tears or cartilage damage.

Advanced treatment methods

The medical team uses modern techniques to help patients return to physical activity. The clinic uses a Da Vinci Xi robot for specific orthopedic procedures to improve surgical accuracy. Patients can access the following treatment options:

Knee arthroscopy. This keyhole surgery treats meniscus and ligament issues with small incisions.
Minimally invasive hip surgery. This approach reduces muscle damage and shortens the recovery period after surgery.
Osteitis and bone infection treatment. Dr. Heinz Winkler manages these difficult cases using specialized protocols at the Osteitis Center.
Cartilage regeneration. Doctors use orthobiology to preserve the natural joint and delay the need for replacements.
Sports injury management. This center focuses on the specific needs of athletes for both surgical and non-surgical recovery.
Shoulder treatments. Specialist care is available for rotator cuff repairs and joint stabilization.

After surgery, patients can start their recovery in the physical medicine and rehabilitation department. This helps make sure the transition from the hospital to daily life is smooth. You can request a consultation for bone or joint treatment at Döbling Private Clinic by leaving a request on Bookimed.

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

Bookimed is real platform with best specialists, which I just found myself online. Initially, I didn’t know to trust to Bookimed or not, but now I can recommend it to my family and friends without any hesitation.

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
