Your Pediatric Practice in Frankfurt/Main

Sarah Rugilo & Dr. Christina Semmler

Dear children, dear parents,

as of July 1, 2026, we will be taking over the practice of our esteemed colleague Ursula Mertes, and we are delighted to welcome you in familiar surroundings.

We care for children from their very first day of life through young adulthood with medical expertise, empathy, and experience. Whether it is a preventive check-up, an acute illness, or the small and big concerns that come with everyday family life, supporting the whole family in a trusting and reliable way is very close to our hearts.

From our own experience, we know that life with children is wonderful, but it also brings many worries and questions. That is why, for us, not only medical guidelines matter, but above all your child’s well-being and a trusting partnership with you on equal footing.

We are very much looking forward to getting to know you and to accompanying your family along part of its journey.

Sarah Rugilo

Since I was young, I have had only one career aspiration: to become a pediatrician. And every day, I discover anew how much joy my work brings me.

I first studied Human Medicine at the University of Greifswald (2001–2004) and later at RWTH Aachen (2004–2007). From 2008 to 2014, I worked at Hanau Children's Hospital, initially as a resident physician and, after being certified as a specialist, as a staff physician in the pediatric department.

For the past 10 years, I have been working as a employed pediatrician at a children's clinic in Frankfurt. I am a mother of two daughters.

Dr. Christina Semmler

Since high school, I was already certain that I wanted to become a pediatrician. As a native of Frankfurt, I gained early insights into pediatric medicine through internships at Clementine Children's Hospital and at Frankfurt University Hospital – experiences that continue to shape me today.

From 2006 to 2013, I studied Human Medicine at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, followed by my doctoral research at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Frankfurt University Hospital. My thesis focused on "Neuromotorics and Imitation Ability in Autism Spectrum Disorders and Schizophrenia."

I completed my specialist training in Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine from 2014 to 2022 at Gelnhausen Children's Hospital – accompanied by the births of my two children (2017 and 2020). I am also qualified as a Neurodermitis trainer according to AGNES standards. Most recently, I worked in various pediatric practices in Frankfurt, and since February 2024, I have been practicing as a specialist physician.
