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 here belong to the Ärztekammer Westfalen-Lippe, which has its seat in this city, and whose Münster administrative district also covers the Borken, Coesfeld, Steinfurt and Warendorf districts.

The children's check-ups, and why missing one matters

If you have children, learn this before anything else. Germany runs a chain of developmental check-ups that begins in the first weeks of life and continues to school age, and each one has a defined window in which it must happen.

These are not just height and weight. Hearing, vision, motor development and language development are all assessed at these appointments. For a child who hears Persian at home and German outside, the language assessment carries more weight, and you should tell the doctor that the household is bilingual. Otherwise the ordinary lag of bilingual development can be mistaken for a problem.

Keep the yellow booklet these are recorded in. Nurseries and schools sometimes ask for it, and filling a gap later turns into paperwork. Book the next appointment at the end of the current one, because the window closes.

Münster is a regional centre, not just a city

The countryside around Münster is largely rural and thinly populated, and this city functions as the medical centre for the whole region. That means two things for you.

First, the specialties are concentrated here, so you rarely need to travel elsewhere. Second, practices draw patients from a wide area, so appointments fill faster and calling early genuinely makes a difference. If you are coming in from outside the city, say so when you book, so they can give you a slot that fits your train home.

Questions that only apply here

• Are they taking new publicly insured patients?
• When is my child's next developmental check, and can it be booked now?
• Do they know the household is bilingual? Say so before the language assessment.
• If you are travelling in, can the appointment and the tests be combined into one day?
• 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

The set registered in Münster is small, but the city is larger than our list. Phone the practices and ask whether anybody on the team speaks Persian. If that leads nowhere, the larger Ruhr cities are reachable by train and their lists are on this site.

Reviews and privacy

Nothing about looking is recorded. Looking costs you no privacy, and we never show who contacted a practice. A review you write is the one visible thing, under the name you decided on.

If you write one, leave out medical detail about your child. It is enough to say how long you waited for an appointment, how they were with the child, and whether the explanations were clear to you.
