General practitioner care

We are happy to offer you the broad spectrum of general practitioner diagnostics and therapy, including

• Urine diagnostics
• Sonography (abdominal organs and thyroid gland)
• Pulmonary function tests
• Minor surgery

Family medicine

General practitioner care means holistic family care from infants to very elderly patients. We are therefore pleased to be able to look after families for decades, because we believe that this is the best way to realize holistic medicine in diagnostics and therapy.

Precaution

Patients with statutory health insurance from the age of 35 are entitled to preventive medical check-ups every three years. These check-ups are designed to detect and treat illnesses as early as possible. In most cases, adults between the ages of 18 and 35 are entitled to a one-off health check. We also offer child and adolescent health checks. For planning reasons, we ask you to arrange such appointments in advance.

Advice on health issues

We are also happy to be your point of contact for health issues relating to the cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, metabolism and mental health. In the case of chronic illnesses, there is the possibility of recurring check-ups as part of the so-called DMP programs.

Travel medicine

As part of the organization of long-distance travel, the vaccination status should be checked in order to close any vaccination gaps. The travel medicine consultation also takes into account the circumstances and duration of the trip as well as any pre-existing conditions. Travel medical consulations are usually paid for by private insurances and are therefore not covered by statuarey health insurance (but rather individual health services = IGEL). Nowadays, however, it is usually possible to have the costs incurred reimbursed in full or in part by the statutory health insurance fund. Please contact our practice team well in advance of your trip so that you can plan in advance and avoid time and vaccination-related stress.

Our doctor's office is qualified as a yellow fever vaccination center of the state of NRW by the Ministry of Health of the State of NRW.

Sports medicine

The field of sports medicine deals with the influence of physical activity on the human body, both in healthy and sick patients. Sports medicine starts at the point where patients want to resume sporting activity and should provide medical support to amateur and competitive athletes in order to cure existing injuries or, in the best case, prevent them from occurring. Injuries can affect the cardiovascular system as well as the musculoskeletal system and ligaments. Our practice would like to offer medical support and care primarily to new athletes, but also to amateur athletes.
