Dr. med. Melanie Baumgardt
FMH Children’s and Youth Medicine | K-Taping Certificate | Licence for Hip Sonography 2016 | Licence for Practice Laboratory (KHM) 2017 | Practice Owner
I was born and raised at the beautiful Baltic Sea, studied in Regensburg, Leipzig and Berlin. In 2007 I completed my medical studies and moved to Zurich with my still small family. I wrote my dissertation in the neonatology department of University Hospital Zurich under the supervision of Professor Bucher and began my clinical training as a pediatrician there in 2008. From 2009 until 2015 I continued my clinical training in various departments of the children’s hospital in Zurich. During a CAS in Developmental Pediatrics (2015/16) I expanded my knowledge in specific issues concerning the development of children. My passion for practical medicine was awakened at the pediatric practice of Dres. Thomann and Geiser in Schlieren, where I was working as assistant doctor in 2015. From 2016 to 2017 I gathered further valuable insights at the Kloten Children’s Medical Centre, the Children’s Practice Uster and Sihldoc4Kids AG.
However, my most important teachers are probably my own children Gàbor (2004), Jonna (2006) and Selma (2011). I live in the heart Zurich together with my partner and children.

FMH Children’s and Youth Medicine
I was born and raised in Southern Germany. After studying medicine, I completed my residency from 2005 to 2012 at the children’s hospitals in Ludwigshafen and Reutlingen in general pediatrics and neonatology. Together with my husband and my 3 children I have been living in Zurich since 2012. From 2013 to 2018 I was the senior physician in the pediatric department of the Zollikerberg Hospital.
There, I treated children in acute situations as well as children continuously as a pediatrician. I really enjoyed accompanying families and children over a longer space of time, so as of 2018 I decided to leave the hospital and join a pediatric practice.
I am looking forward to accompanying your child throughout the various stages of development.

FMH Children’s and Youth Medicine | developmental pediatrician
Born and raised in Munich, I went to Berlin to study medicine and to the Université Libre in Brussels for half a year. In the last year of my studies, I already spent 4 months in Zurich and completed part of the so-called practical year at Triemli City Hospital. After finishing my studies, I moved back to Zurich from Berlin in 2009. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to write my dissertation under the direction of Professor Latal in the Developmental Pediatrics Department at the Children’s Hospital Zurich. During my clinical training as a pediatrician at the Triemli City Hospital and Zurich Children’s Hospital, I was able to gain experience in various wards in general paediatrics as well as in neonatology and intensive care units. After obtaining the FMH Pediatric Medicine, I decided to specialize in developmental pediatrics, where I still work as a senior physician. Now I would like to get to know the work in practice. I am particularly looking forward to accompanying children and their parents over a longer period of time in different phases of life.
In my private life, my three children (* 2016 and ** 2019) ensure that my husband and I do not get bored.

FMH Children’s and Youth Medicine | Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology | Licence for Practice Laboratory (KHM) 2024
I grew up in the “Zürcher Oberland” and moved to Zurich during my medical studies. Many years as a scout (-guide) gave me the opportunity to become interested and involved in the world of children and young people at an early age. After a basic year in internal medicine at Spital Zollikerberg and I completed my specialisation in pediatrics in the children’s clinic at Kantonsspital Winterthur and at Kinderspital Zürich (including Rehaklinik Affoltern), on a voluntary assignment in Madagascar and at the Kinder-&Jugendpraxis Schlieren Dres Geiser und Thomann. Since 2021 I worked as a senior physician (“Oberärztin”) in general pediatrics at Kinderspital Zürich. At the same time, I have been able to work as a senior physician in pediatric and adolescent gynaecology there since 2022, where I will continue to work on a small part-time basis in the future. I also completed a CAS in imaginative-systemic interventions (“medical hypnosis”) at the Universität Basel in 2022-2024. I really appreciate these two specialisations as a useful addition to my daily pediatric business. I discovered my fascination for “Praxismedizin”, in particular the joy of providing long-term support to families, caring for the individual development of children & adolescents and managing minor and major emergencies, as a junior doctor. Thanks to my two children, I am also able to see a lot of new things from a child’s perspective and get to know much from a parent’s point of view. I am really looking forward to seeing you and your family at Flora!

I was born and raised in Affoltern Zurich, where I still live with my family. I completed my training as medical practice assistant (EFZ) in a pediatric and general practice in Dänikon and successfully finished it in the summer of 2018. In my free time I spend a lot of time with children as an active leader in the Scouts St. Luzi. I like to be surrounded by nature and I am interested in foreign countries and cultures, which I have gained insight to on various trips together with my family. I look forward to applying my acquired knowledge and experience of the last three years in the children and youth practice Flora.

Medical Practice Assistant EFZ
I was born and raised in Zurich Wiedikon and now I live in Zurich Altstetten with my partner.
I successfully completed my training as a medical practice assistant in 2020. Since then I have been working in pediatric practices and am also completing further training as a medical practice coordinator.
I like to spend my free time dog-sitting, doing puzzles or being outdoors in nature. Children and young people give me a lot of pleasure. Therefore, I am very excited to meet many new children and families and to accompany them in the Flora practice.

Medical Practice Assistant, Optician EFZ
I was born and raised in the city of Zurich, where I still live with my husband and our child. After successfully completing my qualification as an optician, I then went on to train as a medical practice assistant. I really enjoy working with children. A sensitive approach to young patients and their families is very important to me.

I am looking forward to being part of the Flora team!

Seraina Schneebeli
Medical Practice Assistant, Specialist surgical technique HF
I was born and grew up in the Zurich region , where I still live with my partner. I successfully completed my training as a medical practice assistant in 2002 and subsequently gained 12 years of experience in various medical specialities. Paediatrics and surgery have always interested me the most. For this reason, I combined the two specialisms and completed my studies to become a specialist in surgical technology HF at the Children’s Hospital Zurich from 2014-2017.
I was then able to deepen my experience in all areas of paediatric surgery at the children’s hospital. The work in the operating theatre was always exciting and challenging.
However, I missed the contact with awake children and the relationship with their families. For this reason, I decided to return to my previous profession as an MPA and have been delighted to be part of the Flora Practice team since March 2024.
