Nach einer Operation erfolgt eine enge Betreuung durch unser Team. Regelmäßige Kontrolltermine und physiotherapeutische Maßnahmen begleiten Ihre Genesung.
Ja, in akuten Fällen bemühen wir uns, Ihnen schnellstmöglich einen Termin anzubieten. Kontaktieren Sie uns hierfür bitte telefonisch.
Die Honorarkosten werden individuell nach der erbrachten Leistung berechnet. Sie erhalten eine Rechnung, die Sie bei Ihrer Krankenkasse einreichen können. Je nach Versicherung werden Teile der Kosten erstattet.
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn Sie bereits vorhandene MRT- oder CT-Aufnahmen mitbringen können. Meist bekommen Sie die Daten von Ihrem radiologischen Institut, um die Bilder online anschauen zu können. Falls keine Bildgebung vorliegt, organisieren wir diese gerne. Dies ist meist mit einem erneuten Termin verbunden.
Eine Überweisung ist hilfreich, aber nicht zwingend notwendig. Sie können auch direkt einen Termin vereinbaren.
