Dr. med. univ.
Rene Ratschmann

I was born in Linz an der Donau, but I spent my formative years in Mautern and Krems an der Donau. I graduated from the BRG/ Krems in 1995.

My path led me to the University of Vienna in the summer of 1997, where I studied medicine and finally completed my studies with a dissertation. During this time, I was lucky enough to be involved in an NGO project in Namibia (TKMOAMS).

After two years in research, I decided to do my specialist training in paediatrics at the University Clinic for Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine (Vienna General Hospital).

After completing my residency, I moved to the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the Rudolfstiftung Hospital. This gave me the opportunity to take over the management of the paediatric outpatient clinic at Krankenhaus Nord.

Parallel to my hospital work, I worked for several years as a locum doctor in various paediatric practices in Vienna. This time gave me valuable insights and experience.

Apart from my university education and my work in hospitals, my three children are my most valuable teachers. Through them, I have learnt to understand and solve the worries and problems that are brought to me, not only as a doctor, but also as a dad.

These experiences gave me the desire to set up my own practice. In January 2019, my dream came true: I opened “Ordi Donau Kids” in Donaufelder Straße.

“Für mich ist das der tollste Job auf der Welt und ich möchte nichts anderes machen!“

About our surgery

After receiving the new health insurance contract and remodelling the premises, I opened my new practice “Ordi DonauKids” in January 2019.

We offer our patients two waiting areas covering 220 square metres. Right next to the registration desk is a spacious waiting room with toys and books for our young patients.

To minimise the risk of infection for the little ones, we have set up a separate waiting area at the back of the practice. In our “baby corner”, parents will also find a quiet place to breastfeed and a nappy-changing unit.

We have four treatment rooms and an isolation room for children with rashes available for the treatment of our patients.

We can carry out inflammation tests (CRP), blood counts and urine tests in our in-house laboratory. If necessary, we also work together with laboratories in the surrounding area to enable more comprehensive analyses.

There for you!

Our team is there for you during our surgery hours and coordinates our 4 examination rooms to ensure that your visit runs smoothly.
