Preventive Check-Ups
The U2 to J2 check-ups serve to detect illnesses or developmental delays at an early stage. Alongside a thorough physical examination, developmental assessments as well as vision and hearing tests are carried out. Early detection of illnesses and developmental issues allows measures to be taken in good time, enabling optimal support.
Please be sure to book your appointments for the legally prescribed time windows well in advance – since we like to take extra time for you and your child during these examinations, planning appointments early is essential.

Vaccinations
In consultation with parents, we draw up an individual vaccination schedule for each child. Please download our "online appointment schedule", which lists all the relevant dates. (Please understand that, for legal reasons, we can only carry out planned vaccinations if the vaccination record book is presented.) This is based on the "Vaccination Calendar for Children, Adolescents and Adults in the Free State of Saxony" (see the vaccination calendar synopsis for children, adolescents and adults available for download). For adults, the Saxon Vaccination Commission (SIKO) recommends a booster against tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough and polio (the "Tdap-IPV vaccination") every ten years.
Especially around the birth of a child, please encourage family members and other close contacts (e.g. babysitters) to close any gaps in their own vaccination coverage. This helps protect babies who cannot yet be vaccinated themselves.
Please talk to us. We are happy to advise you.
IGeL Private Health Services
Individual health services (IGeL) are medically useful services that are not included in the statutory health insurance catalogue and are therefore generally not reimbursed by statutory health insurers. Under the basic legal requirements, we must inform you as a patient or parent in advance about this fact, the benefits, any possible risks, and the costs involved. In some cases, health insurers cover the costs for competitive reasons. These services must be paid for by the patient and are billed according to the GOÄ (the official schedule of fees for doctors). A list is displayed in our practice.
- Medical certificates (e.g. for daycare and school)
- Written medical applications
- Blood tests on request (only following careful assessment of medical necessity by us!)
- Fitness assessments (e.g. for daycare, sport, music, theatre, film, holiday activities, high-school year abroad)
- Spa/rehabilitation examinations outside statutory health insurance coverage
- Travel medicine advice
- Additional early-detection screenings up to the age of 14 (e.g. vision test, hearing test)
- Additional vaccinations
- Duplicate vaccination record books
- Adoption assessments
