Welcome to the Polipraxis in Herisau
Our practice is located in a beautiful old villa built before 1887—a blend of tradition, cozy old building charm, and modern medical facilities.
As a group practice with disciplines including general practice medicine, sports medicine, orthopedics, dermatology, emergency medicine, occupational medicine/preventive medicine, as well as physiotherapy and medical massage, we see ourselves as your point of contact, helper, and health manager for your medical concerns.
If you have any questions, our team is available to assist you, or we would be happy to welcome you personally. Parking is available directly in front of the practice.
