Debit and credit cards

We accept Austrian debit cards and all major credit cards.

Guest / accompanying person

Occasionally it is necessary or desirable to have an accompanying person stay in the room with the patient, for example, if the patient is a child or an elderly person, or simply because a trusted person should be present. Please feel free to discuss this option with our staff at the admission office.

Visiting hours

There are no fixed visiting hours at our hospital. However, because you need your sleep, we recommend you receive your visitors between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm. We also ask you to please be considerate of the other patients in your room. From time to time we have to ask visitors to leave the room for a short time due to certain nursing and medical activities. Otherwise visitors are always welcome, as they are proven to be beneficial to the recovery.

Safe deposit

Upon admission you will be asked to sign a statement acknowledging that Döbling Private Hospital is not liable for any lost or stolen monies and / or valuables. However, your room is equipped with a lockable closet to which only you will have the key. We ask that you keep your purse and other valuables there. During surgery, you may ask a nurse to hold on to the key for you. In addition, you may take advantage of the safe deposit box which can be found in each room to securely store your valuables. A user's manual for the safe can be found in each room.
 
Large amounts of money can also be deposited with the Admission Office. Please note that this service is only available during office hours, i.e. Monday through Thursday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and Fridays from 8.00 am to 3:00 pm.

Discharge

Discharge from our hospital is not bound by office hours. You can check out every day around the clock, even on weekends.
 
We ask that your bill, for example telephone, minibar, parking fees, be settled at the reception. You can also pay cash by Austrian debit or any major credit card.
 
If you are a self-paying patient, we ask you to pay your bill at the Admission Office.
