Practice Focus
The practice has been operating since October 2020 as part of the GPR Medical Practice Network. The location was transferred from Fachärzte Rhein-Main, a network of the Emma Clinic.
The Groß-Gerau medical practice operates with a focus on surgical care. This enables comprehensive, all-around care for patients. Initial care for patients at the practice—including diagnosis and preparation for a potential surgery—is followed by the surgical procedure, which can be performed on an outpatient or inpatient basis, depending on the patient’s condition.
The surgery can then take place at the GPR Clinic or—depending on the treating physician—at the Groß-Gerau Surgical Center, following a consultation and with the patient’s consent. The subsequent follow-up care is then provided again at the practice by the patients’ familiar doctors.
