In Germany, it is customary to consult a general practitioner first for general complaints. In Germany, there are general practitioners and specialists (ophthalmologists, dermatologists, etc., etc.). If you need to see a doctor, it makes sense to make an appointment in advance. If necessary, he will then refer you to a specialist.
In Germany, you pay nothing for a normal visit to the doctor, provided you have health insurance. You should therefore always have your health insurance card with you. You can obtain further information directly from your health insurance company.
If you need to see a doctor urgently at night, at weekends or on public holidays, contact the medical emergency and on-call service. In principle, however, all hospitals will help in acute emergencies.
