Wiener Privatklinik (WPK): more details about the clinic

Austria, Vienna

The Wiener Privatklinik (WPK) is a private hospital in the university quarter of Vienna, Austria, next to the Vienna General Hospital and the Medical University of Vienna. Founded in 1871 and led since 1995 by a group of physicians, it works with more than 300 recognised doctors across over 30 specialities, and around 45 percent of its patients come from more than 20 countries. The clinic has 145 beds, seven wards and its own operating theatres, combining hospital medicine with a hotel standard of care.

Central European Cancer Center

Oncology is the clinic's central focus. The WPK Academy Central European Cancer Center brings together surgeons, oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists, and every case is discussed by an interdisciplinary tumour board before treatment begins. Care covers the full path from diagnosis to therapy, using:

  • Minimally invasive and robotic surgery
  • Radiotherapy
  • Immunotherapy and chemotherapy
  • Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for tumours in the abdomen

The centre is especially strong in cancers of the:

  • Breast, prostate and urinary tract
  • Skin
  • Lung
  • Digestive organs
  • Head and neck
  • Gynaecological organs
  • Bone and soft tissue

It is led by Prof. Christoph Zielinski, and its team includes cancer surgeons such as the thoracic surgeon Prof. Walter Klepetko.

Diagnosis and Early Detection

Diagnostics are gathered under one roof, so results are available quickly and without repeated appointments. Imaging includes MRI, CT, PET-CT and SPECT-CT, alongside endoscopy and molecular analysis. The clinic also offers liquid biopsy, a blood test that can detect signs of a tumour at an early stage.

Surgery and Other Specialities

Beyond oncology, the WPK covers:

  • General and abdominal surgery
  • Orthopaedics and traumatology
  • Sports medicine
  • Urology
  • Gastroenterology and hepatology
  • Cardiovascular medicine
  • ENT

The Millesi Center at the clinic focuses on peripheral nerve surgery, using microsurgery and supermicrosurgery. An on-site radiotherapy centre is run with Amethyst, and an aeromedical centre offers pilot fitness examinations. Patients can also request an independent second opinion.

Quality and Recognition

The Wiener Privatklinik is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by Quality Austria for its quality management, patient care and safety. It has been named one of the World's Best Hospitals by Newsweek and Statista for six years running, from 2021 to 2026, and was recognised by Deloitte as one of Austria's Best Managed Companies in 2025.

International Patients

A dedicated team supports international patients with appointments, cost estimates, translation and the organisation of their stay. Information is available in several languages, and the clinic is a short distance from the city centre and airport.

I had an excellent FESS operation here with DDR Schneider, who took the necessary time to explain the operation process to me and ensured that I was perfectly looked after. A real doctor, not by profession but by vocation. All the medical staff I met were wonderful and the care I received was excellent. Everyone who dealt with me was kind and friendly. The surgery was successful and my quality of life was greatly improved as a result.

Great clinic! Highly professional doctors. They helped me recover from a disease that is still very poorly treated in Russia. Cozy and comfortable rooms, my family could come to visit me at any time and stay almost all day. Friendly nurses, although I hardly speak German, have always tried to help and sympathize.

Von Aufnahme bis Entlassung kann ich von meinem Aufenthalt zur Kreuzbandplastik nur Gutes berichten. Pfleger, Schwestern und Arztpersonal in Station 3C (Süd 3. Stock) freundlich bis sehr freundlich und alle bemüht, dass es an nichts fehlt. Am Essen kann ich auch nichts aussetzen. Süd ist wohl der neuere Flügel, die Zimmer dort sind völlig OK in Größe und Ausstattung .

Professionalism, seriousness, involvement, friendship, empathy. These are the right words to describe the medical staff in WPK. Thanks to Prof. Kotz and Prof. Koestler, my 18 years old brother is fine now and he can enjoy life. WPK was our last hope and we were really blessed to meet such truly remarkable doctors and professionals and we will always be grateful!
