EMERGENCY

A sudden onset of neurological incidence might indicate a neurological emergency. Therefore we strongly recommend visiting the emergency room of the nearest hospital.

Phone number: 144

Only in a hospital the neccessary diagnostics – especially concerning imaging – are available.

Do not lose time, because: „Time is brain!“

Another recommendation: Always take a list with yourself with essential medical information:
-  Previous diseases
-  Medication
-  Allergies

It helps saving time!

SERVICES

“Wahlarzt-Ordination” (Private practice) for neurological complaints

We offer neurological consultation and advice – ambulatory & on short notice!

“Wahlarzt-Ordination” means there are no contracts between us and any health insurance company. So you have to pay us directly and send the bill to your health insurance company. You have to know that in most cases you will not be refunded 100% by a general health insurance.

Our team has plenty of time for patients – more time than other doctors can afford …

that’s why a “Wahlarzt-Ordination” might be a little more expensive.

Especially in neurology, a precise medical history is of fundamental importance due to the high complexity. As part of a doctor’s appointment at APEXMED, 1 hour is therefore scheduled for the ‘processing’ of the respective topic; this time is almost always needed, and is sometimes even exceeded.

Depending on the issue, various components are used during the consultation, or a follow-up appointment may sometimes be necessary. The goal is always to clarify the issue as precisely and time-efficiently as possible. In addition to a precise medical history, the basic building blocks of the consultation usually include a neurological examination, my medical assessment of these findings, and a documenting medical report.

Billing is carried out fairly according to the time spent. Additional diagnostics are billed separately.


Broad spectrum

We offer you the broad experience spectrum of a neurological practice.

“Neurological problems” can manifest themselves as:

  • Pain and headache
  • Sight disorder
  • Language and speech disorder
  • Numbness or “pins & needles”
  • Palsy or weakness
  • Coordination disturbances and tremor
  • Vertigo and gait abnormality
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Disorders of consciousness
  • Sleep disorders

Our team will be happy to advise and to furthermore help you with frequent problems, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, polyneuropathy and stroke prophylaxis.


Diagnostic specialisation

In addition to the very essential preliminary conversation and neurological examination, our practice team have experience with the following diagnostic tools:

Electroneurography (ENG)

Electroneurography (ENG) uses current stimuli to measure nerve function. Nerve conduction velocity (NLG) and amplitude are relevant for assessment.

Electroencephalography (EEG)

Electroencephalography (EEG) is used to record “brain waves.” For example, localized or generalized slowing or increased cerebral excitability can be detected. Such controls are also necessary for the treatment of epilepsy.

Polygraphy (outpatient sleep screening)

The sleep screening device can be taken home, so that the examination takes place in the bed at home. Since sleep laboratories often have long waiting times, this method can provide initial indications and help explain the cause of daytime sleepiness.


Information for patients

First of all: suddenly emerging, acute neurological symptoms are to be treated as an emergency! Visit the next hospital immediately!

Apexmed is your advisor for health issues in the neurological field, and we also take psychological and social interactions into account. Together we take care of your well-being and your health. However, implementation of therapy ultimately depends on you. Interest in your own body and its functions is helpful.

We gladly advise you personally and recommend further reading upon request.

Furthermore, you can gain an initial insight into various symptoms and diagnoses from home by watching our informational videos in our MEDIA section or on my specially created YouTube channel.
