Augenpraxis Dr

What Augenpraxis Dr does

Augenpraxis Dr. med. M. Scheffel is a single-location ophthalmology practice (Arztpraxis) based in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen, Germany, operated by Dr. med. Magdalena Scheffel as the lead physician. The practice serves local patients with general and specialist eye care services, including ophthalmic examinations, diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions, prescription renewals for corrective lenses, and referrals to secondary or tertiary providers when cases exceed the scope of an outpatient practice. It is supported by a small team of approximately six staff members in clinical and administrative roles, functioning as a standard solo-practitioner German eye care office.

The business operates under the German outpatient medical regulatory framework, with revenue generated by billing statutory health insurance (GKV) for publicly insured patients and private health insurers (PKV) for privately insured patients, in line with the standard Gebührenordnung für Ärzte (GOÄ) and EBM reimbursement schedules. Patient-facing digital infrastructure consists of online appointment scheduling via the Doctolib platform. There is no disclosed proprietary technology, no investment funding, no group or hospital affiliation, and no evidence of expansion beyond the single Sachsenhausen location.

The practice is positioned as a neighborhood specialty provider rather than a scaling healthcare business; its addressable market is the local Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen catchment, and its competitive set is other independent ophthalmologists in the district. No AI, telemedicine, or non-clinical product lines are referenced in the available information.

Broad incumbents

• Care Vision: German eye-care clinic chain offering ophthalmology consultations, cataract surgery, and refractive procedures. Comparable as a multi-location German ophthalmology provider serving insured patients, though focused more heavily on surgical and self-pay services.
• Smile Eyes: German chain of ophthalmology and laser eye clinics offering comprehensive eye examinations, cataract and refractive surgery. Comparable as a multi-site ophthalmology provider in the German market, but with broader geographic reach and procedural depth.
• EuroEyes: German-listed eye clinic group specializing in LASIK, refractive surgery, and lens treatments. Operates multiple German sites delivering ophthalmology services to insured and self-pay patients, comparable in service category but at materially larger scale.
• Ober Scharrer Gruppe: One of Germany's largest ophthalmology clinic networks operating specialist eye-care centers across multiple cities. Comparable as a specialist ophthalmology provider serving insured (GKV/PKV) patients in outpatient settings, but at significantly greater scale than the solo practice.
• Asklepios Klinik Wandsbek – Augenklinik: German hospital network with ophthalmology departments delivering medical and surgical eye care. Comparable in clinical scope (ophthalmology, GKV/PKV coverage) but with hospital infrastructure, surgical capability, and broader organizational scale.
• Helios Klinikum Berlin-Buch – Augenheilkunde: Major German hospital operator (Helios/Fresenius) with ophthalmology departments. Comparable as a German ophthalmology service provider but operating within a large acute hospital group rather than as an independent outpatient office.

Regional players

• Medical Eye-Center (Augenklinik): German eye-care center offering ophthalmology consultations and surgery. Comparable as a specialist ophthalmology service provider in Germany, but with broader surgical capability and a multi-physician team rather than a single practitioner.
• Augenklinik Dardenne: Specialist ophthalmology clinic in western Germany offering medical and surgical eye care including cataract and refractive procedures. Comparable as a German ophthalmology specialist provider but with surgical and regional hospital presence rather than a single solo practice.

Others

• KV Hessen (Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hessen): Statutory regional association of SHI-accredited physicians in Hesse, with which the practice is registered. Not a peer in the commercial sense, but a regulatory and reimbursement counterpart governing the practice's ability to bill GKV services.
• Doctolib: European digital health booking platform that the practice integrates with for online appointment scheduling. Not a direct competitor but a key infrastructure/enablement partner whose distribution channel materially shapes patient acquisition for German ophthalmology offices.
