Doctors in Germany

1. 1

   Match the sub-specialty, not the specialty

   Search for the exact procedure family — 'mitral valve repair', not 'cardiac surgery'. Sub-specialty experience predicts outcomes better than the broad specialty label.

2. 2

   Check personal annual case volume

   Ask how many of your specific procedure the doctor performs each year. 100+/year is a meaningful threshold across most surgical fields.

3. 3

   Verify credentials independently

   Board certification, fellowship training, hospital privileges and peer-reviewed publications — cross-check on PubMed, Google Scholar and ORCID.

4. 4

   Confirm the hospital is credentialed

   Every doctor here practises at a Germany hospital in our network. Check the hospital is accredited and credentialed for your specialty before you commit.

5. 5

   Have a video consultation first

   Talk to your shortlisted doctor directly — 20-30 minutes is enough to judge communication quality and case-specific fit before booking travel.

Confirm before any procedure that the specific doctor you consulted with is the one performing your case.
