Welcome to the pediatric practice Dr. Bear Clinic, a place where children’s health comes first.

Our concept represents the best available primary pediatric care that can be provided at the current professional level.

Learn about the principles of our work.

Dr. Bear Clinic offers modern pediatric care based on the latest international recommendations. Our doctors work uniformly according to proven medical procedures to ensure the same quality of care regardless of the specific attending physician. They reject outdated or unproven methods and avoid unnecessary prescription of medication. Children only receive antibiotics or cough syrups when they are truly needed.

Great emphasis is placed on vaccination, which follows the recommendations of Czech and international authorities (WHO, CDC, vaccine societies). The goal is to protect children as early as possible; therefore, simultaneous application of vaccines is commonly used, as is standard in developed countries.

The clinic promotes a partnership approach with parents – families are actively involved in decision-making. Doctors provide information on the benefits and risks of procedures as well as legislative obligations, but decisions are made together.

Care is designed to be as comprehensive as possible. The team includes experts from multiple specialties and ensures follow-up hospital care when needed, though hospitalizations are only indicated after careful consideration. The outpatient clinics are equipped with modern medical technology including ultrasound, and basic test results are available the same day.

Our services also include medical assessment activities carried out in accordance with legislation, with an emphasis on protecting family rights. Communication takes place through a modern app, where requests can be sent and urgent matters are resolved immediately. Thanks to the appointment system, sick and healthy children are separated, so the waiting room remains safe and uncrowded.

Breastfeeding support is also significant here. The clinic has no ties to formula manufacturers and follows the international WHO code. We collaborate with lactation consultants who help mothers with breastfeeding and its long-term maintenance.

We work according to the latest medical procedures

In our clinics, we care for patients according to procedures that are exclusively in line with current international recommendations. We regularly update medical procedures and implement them into our practice. All our doctors follow a uniform approach, including documentation methods, to ensure consistent quality of care regardless of which doctor is currently caring for the patient. We strictly reject controversial or unproven medical procedures that have no effect or could even harm children, regardless of whether they might be used elsewhere due to tradition.

We do not prescribe unnecessary medication to children

As an example, we can mention the non-indicated administration of cough and common cold syrups, which are banned in many Western countries. We recommend antibiotics and other medications only in clearly indicated cases with the aim of reducing side effects and ensuring treatment only for those children who truly need it.

We vaccinate according to international recommendations

We vaccinate children based on current recommendations from the Czech Vaccinology Society, the World Health Organization, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), and other professional organizations. When creating vaccination schedules, we aim for the earliest possible protection of children, which includes the common use of simultaneous vaccine applications, similar to the schedules recommended in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and many other countries.

We are your partners in childcare

However, we do not force our modern procedures on anyone; we always properly inform families about the benefits and risks of various procedures, as well as the obligations to vaccinate according to current Czech legislation and options for additional vaccinations. We reject the paternalistic style of medicine where the doctor dictates and the family must blindly obey. We strive for the family to be part of the decision-making process. At the same time, we require a certain level of cooperation from the family so that the care for our patients and your children is as effective as possible.

Maximum complexity of our care

We strive to have doctors of various specialties in our team to ensure comprehensive care even beyond standard pediatrics. In cooperation with hospitals, we can arrange hospital care if necessary, but we always indicate hospitalization cautiously and discuss the entire situation properly with the family. We primarily aim to resolve everything through outpatient care and minimize hospitalizations.

Modern medical equipment including ultrasound

In our clinics, we provide a wide range of modern diagnostic tests and perform blood draws ourselves, with basic test results available the same day. Our facility provides all types of ultrasound examinations for children without the need for long waiting times.

Medical assessment activities in pediatrics

Part of our care includes legally mandated medical assessment activities. We do not perform this by “blindly stamping” forms; instead, we issue all assessments to families based on valid legislation with the aim of ensuring the highest quality care for our patients at all levels, including the legislative one. We always try to advise families on what their rights are.

21st-century communication. Send us requests conveniently via the app

To communicate with families, we use a modern online app that you can have on your mobile phone. This communication channel eliminates the stress of not being able to reach a doctor by phone and significantly makes it easier for the family to consult anything at any time. We use a prioritization process, meaning urgent problems are addressed immediately, giving the family peace of mind that no complications will arise due to delay.

We have an empty waiting room where you won’t get infected

When scheduling appointments, we strictly separate sick children from healthy children to minimize the risk of unnecessary infectious transmission. The aforementioned online communication via the app also helps us achieve this.

Breastfeeding and lactation consultancy

Our facility has no commercial cooperation with manufacturers of infant formula. We uphold the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes, a set of rules issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) that aims to limit inappropriate marketing and protect breastfeeding. You will not find any advertisements for breast-milk substitutes in our clinics.

Through collaborating lactation consultants, we strive to provide maximum support for long-term breastfeeding for our patients’ mothers.
