Mole check with FotoFinder

Regular mole checks are an important part of early skin cancer detection. In our practice, we rely on high-resolution imaging.

Thanks to computer-aided pattern recognition, risk factors can be identified in their early stages, even before they are visible to the naked eye.

Individual skin cancer screening in case of family history

If you have a family history of skin cancer, fair skin, or frequent UV exposure, regular skin cancer screenings are especially important. In our practice, we offer a personalized risk assessment and develop a screening schedule tailored to your needs.

Christian Terhechte

I went to the Dermatology Center for treatment of basal cell carcinoma on my face, right next to my left ear. Dr. Philipp Jansen performed the surgery, and from the very first consultation, I felt I was in excellent hands. The explanations were clear, empathetic, and highly professional. The surgery itself was calm, precise, and conducted in a trusting manner. The result is particularly impressive: the surgical incision was about 6-7 cm long – and today, it's virtually invisible. The cosmetic outcome is exceptional and far exceeds my expectations. I also want to commend the entire practice team. From registration and assistance to aftercare, I received friendly, empathetic, and competent support at all times. It's clear that everyone here works together seamlessly and that the patients are truly the focus. Many thanks to Dr. Jansen and the entire team for the outstanding medical care, the warm support, and the fantastic result. A practice I can wholeheartedly and confidently recommend!


Margit Althoff

I recently had laser sclerotherapy (vein sclerotherapy) performed on an outpatient basis at this practice. Throughout the entire treatment, I felt safe and comfortable. The preliminary examinations, informational and consultation sessions, the procedure itself, and the aftercare were all carried out by a highly professional and well-coordinated team of doctors and assistants. Everyone involved kept me, as a patient and as an individual, in mind. The fact that I could reach Dr. Jansen by phone in case of an emergency also gave me peace of mind. I chose laser sclerotherapy because it was the gentlest procedure for me, with the shortest recovery time. Just one week after the procedure, I was able to go on a multi-day bike tour again. During my other treatments at this practice, I have always felt treated in a friendly and professional manner. I can wholeheartedly recommend this practice.

Lars Krakor

I had two operations on my veins. Dr. Janßen and his team are truly highly competent and always friendly. The examinations and operations were explained to me very well and in detail beforehand, and all my subsequent questions were answered thoroughly. Dr. Janßen always takes the time for this. I am truly impressed with the practice and would have surgery here again without hesitation. I will also attend all my follow-up appointments here.

Erna Wenzel

I had laser vein surgery today under general anesthesia with Dr. Jansen and I'm very pleasantly surprised. Everything seemed to be handled professionally, much like in a hospital. The care and explanations at every stage of the preparation were provided by extremely friendly, competent, and motivated staff. I felt well cared for at all times. Dr. Jansen also gave me excellent advice, and I wholeheartedly recommend the practice. Thank you to the entire team, Renate Christof


Ulrike Just

In addition to excellent medical care, the team on-site is very friendly and positive. Booking an appointment online was a breeze, as was the entire process at the practice. Conversations with the doctor and staff, both professional and personal, were informative and very pleasant. I felt very well advised and informed about the next steps. One of the main reasons I chose this practice was the FotoFinder technology. This device uses video documentation for the early detection of skin cancer. It's outstanding. Overall, I felt very comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommended.

I had vein stripping yesterday under general anesthesia. My fears and worries were alleviated, and I felt very well cared for. Dr. Jansen and his practice team are incredibly friendly and lovely. I highly recommend this practice.


Jens Peters

I went to the dermatology center for treatment. I'm very satisfied with the treatment. The staff is very friendly! Dr. Jansen, in particular, takes his time with his patients and explains everything in detail! After my surgery, which went smoothly, everything is back to normal. The aftercare was excellent. Today, I spontaneously dropped in again because of leg pain. Despite the waiting room being full and it being the end of his shift, Dr. Jansen took the time for me and even performed an examination. That's exactly the kind of service you expect from a good doctor. Top-notch!

Open consultation hours and
Primary care physician referral process

Due to high demand, we offer a walk-in consultation for acute venous disorders such as leg pain, swelling, or suspected thrombosis.

Appointments for subsequent days are not possible during the walk-in consultation.

If you need an appointment quickly, we recommend using the GP referral procedure. In this case, please have your GP refer you directly to us. We reserve specific time slots daily for such cases – so you can usually be seen within one to three working days. You can obtain information about our current open consultation hours by phone, email, or via notices posted in our practice.
