What is a general practitioner (GP) or family doctor?

As GPs, we see ourselves as your guide through the increasingly complex healthcare system in Germany. We are available to you digitally via our website (e.g. via video consultation or online prescription ordering), as well as on site in the practice. We are your first point of contact for all matters, especially for chronic illnesses. We coordinate your treatment with specialists and hospitals. This gives us a comprehensive overview of your medical history and we decide together with you, for example, on the initiation of rehabilitation or preventive measures. As your central, regular point of contact for health issues, our aim is to provide you with ongoing advice and take preventative measures. In this way, we can alleviate or even completely prevent ailment.

Am I welcome as a new patient?

Yes, as a new patient you are welcome to make an appointment by telephone or via Doctolib. During your first appointment, we will take plenty of time to assess your medical history and current condition. Please take a printout of your findings from other doctors with you or upload them to Doctolib before your visit.

Can I get a sick note by telephone?

Yes, but only as an existing patient and under certain conditions. An initial sick note for up to 5 calendar days can be issued after a medical history has been taken by telephone. Please note that there must be no serious symptoms. However, you must always come to the practice for an extension of the sick note. Please note that your doctor can also refuse a sick note or ask you to come to the practice if necessary.

How do I get my sick note (Ger.: AU) and what is an electronic sick note (Ger.: eAU?)

The familiar "yellow certificate" has been replaced by electronic sick notes (eAU) since 2023. Once we have established your incapacity for work, your employer can retrieve the certificate electronically within a few days. You don't need to do anything else. If you wish, you can still receive a paper sick note for your own records.

What should be considered before an ultrasound examination?

Before an ultrasound of your abdomen (abdominal sonography), you should be as sober as possible, but at least try not to eat or drink immediately before the examination.

What should be considered before an ultrasound examination?

For the examination itself, it is advisable to wear clothing that can be easily pulled up or opened; for a thyroid ultrasound, clothing with turtlenecks should be avoided and, if possible, neck jewellery should be removed beforehand.

How can I support the practice?

If you liked our practice, we look forward to a positive review on Google.

Do I always need my insurance card?

Please always take your insurance card with you when you visit us. Unfortunately, we can only treat you in exceptional cases or in an emergency without proof of insurance. Please also note that the "eRezept" (electronic prescription) will only work if your insurance card has been scanned.

About us

Your general practitioner in Dahlhausen

For a long time, the medical practice was operated by Dr. Ulrich Lange and Dr. Werner Gayk. With the transition to the Hausarztzentrum Dahlhausen this expertise will continue to be built upon. As general practitioners or specialists in internal medicine working in primary care, we ensure the basic medical care of the population. General practitioners are the first point of contact for medical problems. We help with acute complaints such as fever, headache, abdominal pain, musculoskeletal pain such as back and joint pain, shortness of breath, flu, colds, coughs, and runny noses. In addition to acute complaints, as a general practitioner in Dahlhausen, we offer a wide range of preventive services such as check-ups, as well as the Disease Management Program. This program is aimed at patients suffering from chronic diseases and aims to improve their quality of life. It includes both medical treatment and individual patient care using expertise and therapeutic means.
