New pediatrician in Moosburg: Practice opens for all families in July!
Something is happening in Moosburg: From July 2025, the pediatrician practice “Imp and Friends – Practice for Children and Adolescents” will open its doors. The new doctor, Ilia Nikitin, is following in the footsteps of his predecessor Olaf Vorbeck, who ran the practice for 19 years and retired last December. This joy about the reopening is even greater because the city of Moosburg no longer had a pediatrician, which posed a challenge for many parents. The practice is run by Ilia Nikitin together with Lydmila Galenko. Merkur reports that ...
The new practice owner has big plans: After an extensive renovation of the old practice room, modern tiles and beautifully designed walls can now be admired. The managing director of the owners' association Gebrüder Heinz GbR, Rudolf Heinz, confirmed that the complete renovation is almost complete. In addition, a wheelchair-accessible elevator will be installed after the opening, which will ensure barrier-free access to the new practice rooms.
A new beginning for the families in Moosburg
The opening will be significant for both resident families and new parents. Thanks to a sophisticated social media campaign, the city of Moosburg was quickly able to find a successor who was willing to take over the practice. The circumstances were not easy for Nikitin: he came to Moosburg from Berlin with financial challenges, where he is in debt. Despite these pressures, he has already recruited four employees and will finally take over his practice at the beginning of July. Süddeutsche reports that ...
The catchment area of the new practice covers the health needs of around 5,000 children and young people, which represents a considerable challenge. The practice is open to all families, regardless of previous care or location. The positive feedback on the practice's Instagram page shows that Nikitin and his team are already well received by the public.
Health care in rural areas
Medical care in rural regions, such as that found in Moosburg, is often demanding. Health care is an essential part of public services, and the number of health care providers is often lower in rural areas than in urban areas. This means longer travel distances for patients and, in some cases, a lack of medical care for children. bpb explains that ...
The new practice in Moosburg will improve access to pediatricians, at least for the local population. Future innovative care concepts and possible collaborations between medical disciplines will be crucial to further optimize health care. Nikitin plans to potentially expand the practice into a medical care center to better meet the needs of families.
The appointments for registration are already available on the homepage www.kinderarztpraxis-moosburg.de, so that the first patients will soon be able to enjoy the new practice. There is great anticipation because this is a good step towards improved health care in Moosburg!
