Frauen + Vital Berlin

What Frauen + Vital Berlin does

Frauen + Vital Berlin (üBAG MVZ Frauen-vital GmbH) is a private gynecological and obstetrics medical practice founded in 1993 by Dr. med. Christiane Wessel in Berlin Kreuzberg. The practice operates two medical care centers (MVZ) in Berlin — Markgrafenstraße (Kreuzberg) and Leipziger Straße (Mitte) — and serves women across all life stages, from teenagers through menopause, including pregnancy care. The clinical team comprises approximately four specialist physicians and two training assistants with sub-specializations in colposcopy, breast ultrasound, urogynecology, Doppler diagnostics, TCM, and prenatal ultrasound, supported by a multilingual front office.

The practice's core services span standard gynecological care, pregnancy monitoring with 3D/4D ultrasound, high-resolution breast sonography, a dysplasia clinic (Dysplasiesprechstunde), endometriosis management, and a non-invasive BTL EMSELLA® HIFEM pelvic floor therapy chair. Revenue is generated through three streams: GKV (statutory health insurance) for standard preventive and obstetric services, PKV (private insurance) billing at higher rates, and IGeL (individual health services) covering self-pay items such as enhanced ultrasound, IUD insertion, and Emsella therapy. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer, primarily through Doctolib online booking, the KV Berlin Terminvergabestelle (TSS) for acute appointments, Instagram and Facebook presence, and Google Maps discovery.

The practice is privately held by Dr. Wessel, who also serves as managing director and medical director and holds a board seat at Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Berlin. It operates without external funding, operates under the German MVZ regulatory framework, and is GDPR-compliant. The Markgrafenstraße site is scheduled to relocate to expanded premises on 15.06.2026.
