Doctors and Medical Needs

Visits to the doctor are usually by appointment only; if you turn up without an appointment you may face a long wait.  Always take your health insurance card or documents with you to every appointment. 

Doctors who speak English:

General medicine:
Dr. med Klaus Neubert
Hermann-Ehlers-Str. 8 (near campus)
Telephone 07121-23-99-39

Dentist:
Dr. Hansjörg Stotz
Unter den Linden 16 (city centre, in the MediaMarkt building)
Telephone 07121 - 34-60-76

Gynaecologist:
Dr. med. Eva Hunns
Kaiserstrasse 11 
72764 Reutlingen (next to railway and bus stations)
Telephone: 07121 – 45755

Ask in the International Office for help making an appointment, as receptionists may not speak much English. Arrive in good time for your appointment, but be prepared to wait if necessary.

When you go to see a doctor or a dentist you will be asked for details of your health insurance (for EU students this is the EHIC card). Make sure that the doctor will accept your insurance before you receive any treatment, otherwise you may have to pay the bill yourself in the first instance and claim reimbursement from your home insurance provider later.

Pharmacies (Apotheke) are the only places licensed to sell medicine, and pharmacists are medically trained and qualified to give general advice. 
There is an Apotheke next to the PennyMarkt in Pestalozzistraße. 

Please note: Medicine shipped through the post from abroad will probably be stopped by German customs, so if you need specific medication, please bring it with you.
