Private Doctor Home Visit Dahlem
The private medical home-visit service in Dahlem is an acute-care service by RAB Arztbesuche that brings licensed physicians into the Berlin district of Dahlem within 60 to 90 minutes — daily from 6 am to midnight.
Dahlem combines the Free University, the Dahlem museums, the Botanical Garden and embassy residences into one of Berlin's quietest and most academic neighbourhoods. We look after professors, diplomats and long-standing residents of the large villas along Thielallee, Dahlemer Weg and Im Dol — daily 6 am to midnight.

Dahlem — university quarter, embassy residences, long-standing villa residents
Dahlem has an unusually high private-insurance share and a population that weighs quality and discretion equally. Around the Free University, the Dahlem museums and the Botanical Garden live academics, Max-Planck researchers and their families, complemented by a long-established diplomatic community along Pacelliallee and Im Dol.
Many of our patients are 70 or older, live alone or as a couple in spacious houses and have a regular specialist — who however is not available outside office hours. We bridge precisely that gap: a reliable specialist house call in the evening, at weekends or on public holidays, without a hospital trip.
Typical complaints in Dahlem
Hypertensive episodes, atrial-fibrillation events, infections in older patients, back pain after gardening, vertigo and acute gastrointestinal complaints are among the most common reasons. International families add travel-related illnesses, paediatric respiratory infections and vaccination questions.
International patients and diplomatic context
Several colleagues consult fluently in English. On request we issue English-language invoices, are familiar with international insurance billing and observe security and protocol requirements at embassy residences. Billing follows the German GOÄ scale through our Privatärztliche Verrechnungsstelle.
Route from Charlottenburg to Dahlem
From Roscherstrasse 3 we take the Avus to Huettenweg or the Halenseestrasse and Hohenzollerndamm route depending on time of day. Arrival typically takes 25 to 40 minutes. Outside rush hour and at weekends we are often on site in 20 to 25 minutes.
Parking in Dahlem is mostly straightforward. For addresses with gatehouses or embassy security we clarify by phone whether the doctor is met at the main gate or drives directly to the entrance. Prescriptions and certificates are issued immediately on site, including English-language versions on request.
Emergency? Dial the emergency number
If unconscious, with severe chest pain, breathlessness or heavy bleeding, dial 112 immediately. Our service complements the emergency services — it does not replace them.
Case profiles
Typical scenarios
Senior in the villa on Dahlemer Weg
An 82-year-old patient develops dizziness and blood-pressure spikes at the weekend. We come, perform an ECG, adjust medication in consultation with the treating cardiologist and avoid an unnecessary hospital admission.
Professor family with travel fever
After a conference trip a university lecturer falls ill with fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. We examine on site, clinically rule in or out relevant travel illnesses and issue prescription and sick note.
Diplomat family from overseas
Parents with two children want a specialist assessment on Sunday evening for a child's respiratory infection. We come, examine in English, issue an international private invoice.
Follow-up after hospital stay
A patient returns home after orthopaedic surgery. We take over weekly wound checks, dressing changes and findings discussion until the local practice resumes care.
