Frequently asked questions
Why should I choose this practice?
Gynecological endocrinology is a specialty within gynecology, and the practice works only in this field. The doctor holds the title Expert in Gynecological Endocrinology from the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology (ISGE). Reading hormone levels correctly leads to targeted treatment and a real change in quality of life. Appointments are available in German, English and Greek.
Which services are not offered at the practice?
Cancer screening, ultrasound, pregnancy care and general gynecological examinations. For these, your own gynecologist remains responsible.
Are examinations done at the practice?
The practice offers consultations only. Blood tests are arranged through a laboratory, and ultrasound is done by your own gynecologist. The choice of laboratory tests depends on each case. The practice orders only the tests that are needed for the treatment and so avoids unnecessary costs.
Does the practice support complementary therapies?
The practice follows classical, science-based medicine, but is open to complementary therapies. Where they make sense, the practice supports them, so that every woman can feel as well as possible.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book an appointment directly on Doctolib.
Do I need private insurance?
No. Patients with statutory insurance are just as welcome and pay privately.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
The practice deals only with hormonal gynecological conditions. Because it does not offer general gynecology or obstetrics, there are no long waits for an appointment.
How should I prepare for the first appointment?
Bring your previous test results and medical reports, or upload them to Doctolib beforehand. Please also note the medicines you take and the dates of your last periods. This way, the appointment time is used for what matters.
Can my partner come too?
Of course. When it comes to fertility, your partner's presence is even welcome. Every woman decides for herself who comes with her to the appointment, so that she feels as comfortable as possible.
How does the video consultation work?
You book the appointment on Doctolib. You will receive detailed information after booking.
Is a second opinion possible?
Yes. Bring all your previous test results, and the practice will review them again.
I miss a personal relationship with my doctor. Can I contact the doctor when I need something?
Yes. Personal contact is part of the care. Through Doctolib and the option “Nachricht senden” (send message), you can write to the doctor directly. You will receive an answer within the next few hours or on the next day. In some cases a small fee may apply, as set out in the GOÄ (Fees). This direct contact is meant for questions that are not urgent. In an emergency, please contact the emergency doctor (Notarzt).
Can I cancel an appointment?
Yes. Please cancel at least 24 hours before, through Doctolib. If you cancel late or do not come, a fee of 50% of the planned fee may be charged.
How do I get a prescription and an invoice?
Prescriptions are given on paper or electronically, with a digital signature. After the appointment you receive an invoice by email, according to the German fee schedule for doctors (GOÄ). The full fee must be paid, regardless of any reimbursement.
