Presentation




My name is José M. Ozcariz Eizaguirre.
I was born in 1964 in San Sebastian, in northern Spain. I studied medicine at the Basque Country University. After finishing my studies, I went to England, where I lived and worked from 1990 to 1999.

Between 1991 and 1995 I worked at various hospitals, in different specialities: general medicine, cardiology, geriatrics, general surgery, orthopaedics, accident and emergency, gynaecology&obstetrics, paediatrics, etc. In 1996 I finished my training as a GENERAL PRACTITIONER. In Austria I am recognized as ARZT FÜR ALLGEMEINMEDIZIN.

Between 1996 and 1999 I worked as a General Practitioner in different surgeries in North and East London and simultaneously obtained the Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Hygiene and the Diploma in Family Planning.

I came to Vienna in December 1999. In order to familiarise myself with the complexities of the Austrian Health Service I worked with two local doctors and did several Locums.

In April 2001 I opened my surgery in the Schwarzspanierstraße.

Since June 2005 I take part in a charity project called AMBER-MED, which offers free medical consultations to persons, mainly migrants, without medical insurance and/or legal documents.

In February 2007 I moved my surgery to the Weyringergasse 10, 1040 Vienna.
