- Appointment cancellations: If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let us know in good time so that we can offer the appointment to someone else.
- Preparation: To reduce waiting times, please fill out the medical history form and the data protection agreement at home.
- Emergencies and acute symptoms: In case of acute problems or emergencies, please call us in advance to avoid unnecessary waiting times.
- Documents to bring: Remember to bring your health insurance card and, if applicable, a referral. If you already have previous findings such as X-rays, MRI/CT scans, surgical reports, or discharge reports, please bring these with you as well.
