A Conversation
That Commits You to Nothing

15 to 20 minutes with our medical team about TMS and non-invasive neuromodulation, free, confidential, in English and across time zones. Afterwards you know whether the trip to Bad Aibling is worth it for you.

For you, or for someone you love

You don’t have to decide anything yet.

Perhaps you’re reading this for yourself. Perhaps for your husband, your mother or your partner, who no longer has the energy to make the call. Both are good reasons for this conversation.

The first conversation is not a sales call and not an admission. It takes 15 to 20 minutes and costs nothing. You describe what is going on; we tell you whether our approach fits that situation and what a next step in Bad Aibling would look like. We look at the whole picture there, not only the brain: previous illnesses, infections, sleep, thyroid and gut belong in this conversation. The question of cost belongs in it too. What we work towards stays the same in every case: restoring functional balance, as far as possible without drugs and with as little medication as possible.

What to expect

Brief, concrete, no obligation

15–20 minutes

Short enough to fit into a lunch break, long enough for us to understand your situation and answer the questions that matter most to you.

With the medical team

You speak with someone who knows the procedures from daily clinical work and explains, without jargon, which of them could apply to your situation. Remote, in English, for international patients.

No obligation

Afterwards you decide, in your own time, whether and when to continue. A no is a complete answer.

The consultation does not replace diagnostics. It settles whether our assessment makes sense for you. If it fits, the structured assessment in Bad Aibling is the next step, with qEEG brain mapping where the question calls for it; how we get from findings to plan is described in our method.

What we clarify on the call

Three things you will know by the end

  1. Min. 0–5 · Listen

    Whether your situation fits us

    You describe what is going on and what has already been tried. We ask what we still need for an assessment, and tell you whether our approach is designed for a situation like yours.

  2. Min. 5–15 · Weigh up

    Whether the trip is worth it

    If our approach does not fit your situation, we say so on the call, and you have spent 20 minutes rather than a flight to Germany. If it does, you know what comes next.

  3. Min. 15–20 · Next step

    What the next step would be

    If it fits: the assessment in Bad Aibling. If qEEG brain mapping is indicated, it takes about 60 minutes; afterwards you receive a written findings report. You learn how the appointment runs and what to bring. Ask about costs here too.

What you hear on the call is a first estimate, not a finding. The findings come from the assessment on site, and your program comes from the findings.
And then?

From request to plan, in three steps

Send your request

Two sentences about your situation are enough, via the form below or by phone. We reply within two business days.

First conversation

15 to 20 minutes, remote and across time zones. You ask your questions, we ask ours, and at the end there is a clear answer on whether it is worth it.

Diagnostics & plan

If it fits, the assessment in Bad Aibling follows, with qEEG brain mapping where the question calls for it. Your program grows out of the findings, graded by evidence.

The first step

Request a consultation

Two or three sentences about your situation are enough. We usually get back to you personally within two business days, by phone or email, whichever you prefer, and across time zones for international patients.

What you can have ready, if you like: since when the symptoms have been there, what has been tried so far and which medication is currently taken. None of it is required; your questions are enough.

Frequently asked

Answered upfront

Does the consultation cost anything?

No. The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Questions about the cost of later diagnostics or treatment belong in this conversation; please ask them.

Who will I speak with?

With a member of the medical team at the Douwes Brain Center, not a hotline. The person knows the procedures and how things run in Bad Aibling, and answers your questions directly.

Am I committing to anything?

No. The conversation commits you to nothing, and there is no deadline. Afterwards you decide, in your own time, whether you want to take a next step, and you never have to justify a no.

Who is the consultation for?

For anyone considering non-invasive neuromodulation for themselves or for a relative, whether for depression, attention or memory concerns, exhaustion or sleep problems. You may call on behalf of a partner or a parent; whether a procedure applies, we work out on the specific case. It is also the right starting point for international patients planning a visit to Germany.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. It helps if you can say in two or three sentences what the trouble is, since when, and what has been tried so far. Doctor’s letters, imaging or a medication list are welcome if you have them at hand; they are not a requirement.

Not sure whether to call at all? The 30-statement self-assessment takes a minute and gives you a first orientation before you do.

Fifteen minutes, then you know whether it’s worth it
