The Vienna Medical Center offers medical checkups, specialist diagnosis and medical treatment using state-of-the-art technology. Employing the very latest in diagnostic equipment, the Center offers a full spectrum of laboratory tests, radiological scans, gastro intestinal and cardiological examinations (ultrasound, ECG, treadmill). In addition to conducting its own diagnostic services, the Center is able to call upon its network of top medical specialists, both local and international, to conduct further diagnostic examinations and, where necessary, it can offer inpatient care. The Vienna Medical Center was set up by Professor Michael Zimpfer MD, MBA, who specialises in Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care & Pain Management. Professor Zimpfer is a full professor at the Medical University of Vienna/Vienna General Hospital and holds an MBA from the University of Chicago. He trained as a Cardiologist and previous assignments included Harvard Medical School and Duke Medical Center for Outcomes Research in North Carolina. Prof. Zimpfer is a member of the Society of Friends of the Weizmann Institute of Science and served as a visiting professor at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Prof. Zimpfer’s success can be attributed to his lean principles in his healthcare practice, holistic solutions to patients’ medical concerns, effective pain management and a belief that minimally invasive treatment plays a key role in improving general health. The Center is in the heart of Vienna’s ninth district and is conveniently located within walking distance of Vienna General Hospital (Allgemeines Krankenhaus (AKH) and St. Anna Children’s Hospital (St. Anna Kinderspital). There are also a number of private clinics nearby, including the Private Clinic Vienna (Wiener Privatklinik), Private Clinic Josefstadt (Confraternität – Privatklinik Josefstadt) and the Goldenes Kreuz Private Clinic (Krankenanstalt Goldenes Kreuz). The practice is equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology enabling it to offer patients excellent treatment and care, including instant referrals and rapid diagnosis, which in turn, leads to faster patient treatment, and fewer hospital visits. Their network of medical specialists facilitates the Center to access the latest developments in radiation oncology (cancer treatments) such as CyberKnife and Proton Therapy. In addition to its own dedicated team of specialists, the Center works closely together with local as well as internationally renowned specialists (oncologists, radiologists, cardiologists, obstetrician / gynaecologists, paediatricians, neurologists), who are on hand to offer expert advice including second opinion referrals or, if preferred, medical treatment abroad or in the unlikely event that a specific treatment is unavailable, in-country. Both the IAEA and UNIDO have their headquarters in Vienna and the city is one of the four headquarters of the United Nations. In addition, the presence of diplomatic and consular missions in Vienna means the Vienna Medical Center serves patients from Austria and further afield. Patients include diplomats, expatriates and highnet-worth individuals.
