When a specialist visit may be helpful

Have orthopedic symptoms evaluated by a specialist

Your first visit begins with a medical history and clinical examination. From there, we determine whether further diagnostics are appropriate and what the most suitable next step is.

Acute or recurring pain

Pain or other symptoms involving the back, shoulder, knee, hand, or other joints that warrant specialist evaluation.

Unexplained symptoms

When no clear explanation has been found so far, or when imaging findings and symptoms do not seem to match.

Determine whether MRI or X-ray is needed

When you need to determine whether imaging is necessary and which study is most appropriate for the specific clinical question.

Review existing imaging and reports

Existing MRI, X-ray, or other findings are reviewed in the context of your symptoms and clinical examination.

Second opinion before surgery

An independent specialist assessment before surgery or another invasive treatment.

Private insurance, Beihilfe & self-pay

Patients with German statutory health insurance may also use the private consultation service on a self-pay basis.

Your care pathway

From the first consultation to a well-founded treatment decision

Every diagnostic step follows a specific medical question—not the other way around.

Consultation & examination

We review your symptoms, their course, and previous treatment, followed by a clinical examination.

Diagnostic decision

We determine whether additional diagnostics are needed and which method is most appropriate.

Imaging when indicated

MRI, X-ray, or other studies are coordinated when medically necessary.

Results & treatment

Results are explained clearly and incorporated into an individualized treatment plan.

Our medical approach

The clinical examination guides which diagnostics will actually be useful

An MRI can be extremely helpful—especially when the clinical examination first establishes what the imaging needs to answer. That is why care begins with a specialist assessment. A single imaging finding should not, by itself, determine whether surgery or another invasive procedure is appropriate.

  • No prerequisite: Existing imaging is not required for your first visit.
  • Focused diagnostics: The type and extent of testing are based on the examination and the specific clinical question.
  • Personal interpretation: Imaging and test results are considered together with your symptoms and clinical findings.
  • Treatment decision: Conservative, interventional, and surgical options are explained clearly and in context.
Direct Answers

Common questions before your first orthopedic appointment

Straightforward answers to questions patients often have before their first visit.

Do I need an MRI or X-ray before my first appointment?

No. Existing imaging is not required. The first step is a specialist examination, which helps determine whether additional imaging or testing is medically appropriate.

Can the practice order or arrange an MRI or X-ray?

Yes, when the examination and clinical question support a medical indication. The appropriate imaging can then be coordinated, and the results are reviewed with you afterward.

Can I have an existing MRI or X-ray report reviewed?

Yes. Existing imaging and reports can be reviewed during your visit together with your symptoms and clinical examination findings.

Can I book an appointment if I have German statutory health insurance?

Yes. Patients with German statutory health insurance may use the private consultation service on a self-pay basis. Regular practice care and the dedicated private consultation service are separate services.

Does Bonedoctor accept new patients?

Yes. New patients can book online. Current appointment availability is shown directly in the Doctolib booking calendar.

Are Saturday appointments available?

Yes. Saturday appointments are also offered. Available Saturday times are shown in the booking calendar when openings are available.

What should I bring to my first appointment?
