What the Verified badge does and does not say

Verified says one thing only: a real person stands behind this profile and manages it themselves. YabInfy does not check anyone's certificates, licences, experience or competence, and the badge is not for sale. Doctors in Baden-Württemberg are licensed through the state chamber, and Heidelberg falls under its regional chamber for Nordbaden, the Bezirksärztekammer Nordbaden.

What a referral actually buys you

Most people see a referral as a piece of administration. In a city where university medicine is this prominent, it is considerably more than a formality.

The referral carries three things with it: who sent you, what question they are sending you with, and what has already been done. A specialist reading it does not start from zero and does not reorder tests you have already had. For admission to specialist departments, it is often the condition of entry.

So when your GP is writing one, take a minute and ask what they have put on it and whether they are attaching your test results. An empty referral and a referral with a clear clinical question produce two completely different appointments.

Treat Heidelberg and Mannheim as one market

Heidelberg is a small city and the group of Persian-speaking doctors registered here is small with it. Mannheim is about fifteen minutes away by train, and between them the two effectively form one catchment.

Both sit under the same Nordbaden regional chamber and the same state association of statutory health insurance physicians, so moving between them complicates nothing about insurance or referrals. Opening your search to both roughly doubles your options and costs you nothing.

Questions that only apply here

• Can they add a publicly insured patient, or have they stopped?
• Will they put the clinical question on the referral and attach previous results?
• If you need a referral into a department of the university hospital, will they arrange it?
• Will they take over follow-up for treatment that started in Mannheim?
• YabInfy checks none of this, so ask for it yourself, and ask to see the document where it matters.

If this group is not big enough for you

Look at the Mannheim list on this site first, because it is both the nearest and the largest option you have. If that comes up short, ask your own GP for a referral. Practices that see many Persian-speaking patients are known to the doctors around them even when they appear on no list.

Reviews and privacy

Nothing about looking is recorded. We do not keep a record of who viewed a profile, and we never publish who made contact. Just one thing becomes public, a review you write, under a name you pick yourself. The Persian-speaking community here is small, so use a short name.

Say how long you waited for the appointment, whether they saw you near your slot, and whether the explanation was clear to you. Do not pass judgement on whether the diagnosis was right, because a patient cannot assess that.
