Dear Sir or Madam,

Below you will find information about the process of your appointment at Dr. Rohrer’s practice.

First, you book an appointment via Doctolib for an initial consultation, also known as the initial anamnesis. You register with Doctolib, create an account, and your data is transferred to our practice software via an interface.

Dr. Rohrer has been living with his family in Switzerland since March 2024, so appointments for non-Swiss patients are usually held online (we have been regularly using online consultations since COVID). In-person appointments in Unna are also possible but are less frequent than before March 2024. You can view the appointment options on Doctolib.

After booking your appointment, the initial anamnesis takes place during the first visit. I take ample time for this (usually 60 minutes) to thoroughly understand your complaints and medical history, enabling me to determine the appropriate diagnostic steps.

Please send me any prior documents, such as medical reports, lab results, or test findings, so I can review them during the initial anamnesis. I always try to avoid duplicate diagnostics, meaning, for example, lab tests conducted recently (within the last 3 months, by my definition) will not be repeated to save you costs.

After the initial anamnesis, you book a blood draw appointment via Doctolib (select: in-person appointment > blood draw). Then, 3-4 weeks later, book a results discussion appointment (60 minutes). I also recommend booking a short follow-up appointment (30 minutes) 1-2 weeks after that to address any questions that may arise from the results and to discuss the treatment plans I will create for you during the results discussion. Please note that you are only charged for the actual time used during appointments, not the booked duration. If a 60-minute appointment takes 10 minutes, only 10 minutes are billed (in Germany, according to the medical fee schedule; in Switzerland, based on a flat rate per time).

We are also available by phone for our existing patients and for emergencies, even if no appointments are available on Doctolib. In such cases, please send us an email, and Dr. Rohrer will try to contact you by phone within 24-48 hours (except during vacation periods).

For any questions, please contact us by email. We look forward to welcoming you to our practice.

Sincerely, Dr. Stefan Rohrer and Team
