Where To Test

Your personal doc (GP / general practitioner / “Hausarzt, Allgemeinmediziner”)) is your best option for regular bloodwork
- She can immediately check your biomarkers for medical conditions and advise on doing additional tests if necessary
- She’ll interpret & explain the results
- She’ll help you do blood tests at minimum costs
If you don’t have a doc currently find one here at Doctolib
If you don’t want to wait for a doc appointment and you have some budget do this:
1. Do your bloodwork at one of the direct-to-consumer labs below (you have to pay the full amount, but might get some or all money back if you’re privately insured)
2. Book a video consultation to discuss your results at Doctolib or Teleklinik.

<aside> <img src="/icons/syringe_gray.svg" alt="/icons/syringe_gray.svg" width="40px" /> Some direct-to-consumer labs in Germany:

Mein.Direktlabor (19 locations - mostly online booking)

Synlab Group (42 locations - usually call for an appointment)

Aware.app (4 locations and not fully customizable tests, but beautiful app and lower prices)
