I busted my knee playing basketball and I need to find an English or German speaking doctor in Geneva who could don an MRI or something like that. I already tried Hospital de la Tour because they got recommended to me for Sports Medicine...but the reception lady already refused to speak English and if I understood her correctly she said they don't take any new patients.
Can anybody recommend a good English speaking doctor here?
Thanks a lot!

Hi MarcekK,
I’ve asked almost the same question back in Sept. 2009. I’ve just copied some of the reply’s. I hope this helps.
As to Hopital de la Tour, sorry about the experience with the receptionist, they are still taking on new patients… They have a recognized sports injury clinic by Swiss Olympic. They have several doctors who speak English. Here is the list of doctors with the languages they speak.

I can personally recommend Dr. Finn Mahler.
If you prefer a doctor in the centre, there is a sports doctor that speaks very good English at the Eaux-Vives medical center (on rue Nant). His name is Dr Huwiler. See http://www.cmev.ch/ for more info. They also have on-site x-ray facilities etc. Its quite a good center in the center of the town.
I can also recommend Dr. Finn Mahler. He really helped me with my knees. He is excellent. They also have English speaking physiotherapists he works with right next door.
A few of my friends from the GVA runners group have actually used the Eaux-Vives medical center.
Good luck.

Dr. Finn Mahler was also recommended to me by somebody else. That's how I ended up at Hospital de la Tour. But when I tried to make an appointment the receptionist spoke only French and I think she tried to explain to me that they would not take any new patients.
How did you make an appointment with Dr. Mahler?
Thanks!!!
