My husband had an ear infection and it was very difficult to find a private care physician in…read morePrague. No one could see him for days and we were referred to this university hospital by our Air BnB superhost. He received excellent care and saw an ear nose and throat physician. The only reason we are not giving this five stars is because it was very difficult to figure out where to go, the place has a rather austere and cold look about it (dark cold war era feel) and it was not as well marked in English so we relied on stopping people and asking for information. Luckily everyone spoke enough English to help us. That being said we would recommend this hospital to anyone looking for urgent care type services in Prague. The price was very reasonable for anywhere, especially compared to US medical prices. It is at the end of the Metro green/A line, the stop called Nemocnice Motol. The hospital itself and the "foreigners reception" area is basically straight across from the entrance to the metro. There are at least two hospital pharmacies on site - one closes at four pm and another is located in the open courtyard area directly across from the metro entrance and that was open after 4 PM but I do not remember the closing time. That Pharmacy had excellent air conditioning! Nowhere else in the hospital was there any that we encountered. The foreigners reception area has three or four stations with chairs for people to give the intake person all their information. That is on the right side. On the left are two stations for children and people who need to stay at the hospital. They take your information (drivers license or passport needed) and they require a 1000 Czech kronor deposit. They then send you to the appropriate floor to see the type of position that you need. After you see the physician you return to the foreigners reception area and either get a refund if your services were less than 1000 Kč or you pay them the balance due. For my husband it was 1102 Kč or at the time of this writing roughly $55. That your drops they prescribed were only $5! There is a Canadian doctors chain that we could not get into but they responded via email and said it would've been anywhere from 3000 to 6000 Kč for a visit. Obviously the university hospital was much less expensive and he saw a specialist fairly quickly. It was a Monday afternoon and to us it did not seem busy. The total time it took from arrival to departure was roughly an hour and 15 minutes.
