About the clinic
A consultation with a gastroenterologist at the Städtisches Klinikum Solingen in Solingen, Germany, helps identify digestive tract issues and concerns.

The clinic holds certifications from the German Cancer Society and TÜV RHEINLAND, ensuring recognized standards for medical examinations.
What the Consultation Detects
The gastroenterologist reviews the patient’s medical history and current symptoms. During this outpatient visit, the doctor examines clinical signs and evaluates existing medical documentation. This process helps determine if further tests, such as imaging or lab work, are necessary.

He serves as the Chief Doctor of the Department of Gastroenterology and performs over 9,000 endoscopic procedures annually. Prof. Pfaffenbach is a member of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). The medical center is an academic teaching hospital for the University of Cologne and is certified by WHO and UNICEF.
Diagnostic Options and Packages
Patients may choose between a single consultation or a more extensive examination package. Variants include:
- The basic consultation for around $290.
- A check-up package that may cost around €3,000.
The larger check-up includes laboratory tests, an abdominal ultrasound, gastroscopy, and colonoscopy. It also covers sedation for the endoscopic procedures, histological analysis, and a final interview to discuss the results and recommendations.
Service and Setting
The appointment takes place in an outpatient setting. For international patients, the clinic’s International Office assists with administrative tasks like visa invitations and translation. If a patient chooses the package including endoscopy, sedation is available as part of the service.
