Re: English speaking obstetrician

I live in Basel so really can not help but I believe if you go to the university hospital you are going to find one there (ast least one that is). Also, check with your insurance company and they can provide you with a list. I know that it would be better to get a recommendation from another patientds but believe me I am quite impressed with the health system in Switzerland. All doctors I have seen for far have been incredible!

Good luck!

The Telephone Book..

or online: http://www.doctor.ch/ (you can select English on that site)


Seriously, you'd be hard pressed to find a doctor who can't speak English to some degree.
Good luck with the search!

I can highly recommend Dr Rabner. He is located just a few minutes walk from Parade Platz, so very central. He speaks excellent english, he has lots of expat patients so he is more understanding of cultural differences than some other doctors and he is great.

His details are:
Dr Michael Rabner
Am Schanzengraben 15
8002 Zürich, Switzerland

044 201 55 33‎

Good luck with it all! I have given birth to 3 kids here in Zurich, so let me know if you have other questions!

Jo

A few of the girls I work with have used Dr. Savoldelli.
He speaks excellent english and is really lovely. He is old and his one of the receptionsist doesnt speak english but the other does. I have seen him a few times and always been professional and helpful, although I just only used him for my annual check ups.

Dr. med. Guido Savoldelli, Bellariastrasse 52, 8038 Zürich
Tel.: 044 482 07 70
