General information

The dermatological university outpatient clinic primarily, but not exclusively, treats serious dermatological diseases for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. This takes place either in the outpatient clinic or in one of the numerous specialised consultation hours. If more intensive diagnostic or therapeutic procedures are required, treatment is planned in the day clinic or as part of a temporary inpatient stay.
As a rule, patients are referred to the dermatological outpatient clinic by dermatologists in private practice with a referral slip.
Patients who have not previously been seen by a dermatologist may have to expect longer appointment times, as only a limited number of appointments can be allocated per day. Patients from other clinics at the University Hospital are also treated in the dermatological outpatient clinic. We naturally endeavour to keep waiting times to a minimum.
The majority of patients are presented to the senior physician, while more difficult conditions are also discussed with the medical director of the clinic or her deputy during lunchtime rounds.
Serious skin diseases are treated by the university dermatology outpatient clinic. There is also close cooperation with other specialist disciplines at the university hospital. If necessary, patients are cared for within the hospital. If you have an uncomplicated skin disease, a report with a statement on the diagnosis and treatment will be sent to the referring doctor or an immediate telephone consultation will take place with this colleague. The practising dermatologist would then take over the treatment.
