Kardiologische Praxis

What Kardiologische Praxis does

Kardiologische Praxis Dr. Sonja C. Mayer is an independent, single-site non-invasive cardiology specialist practice located at Bismarckallee 4, 79098 Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Founded in 2024 by Dr. Sonja C. Mayer following her tenure as Medical Director at Mediclin MVZ Freiburg, the practice operates with her own Kassenarztsitz (statutory health insurance permit) and is staffed by two cardiologists — Dr. Mayer and Anthony Taylor MBBS London — supported by a small team of medical assistants, a paramedic, an apprentice, a medical transcriptionist, two medical students, and a sports therapist.

The practice delivers a comprehensive non-invasive cardiology service portfolio: cardiac and vascular ultrasound (Echokardiographie), exercise stress testing, long-term ECG and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, pacemaker/ICD/CRT device interrogation and programming for Medtronic and Biotronik systems, laboratory analyses, genetic diagnostics for hereditary cardiovascular conditions, cardiovascular prevention, sports cardiology, and individualized risk assessment. Diagnostic technology is centered on standard non-invasive cardiology equipment and dual-vendor device programmer platforms, with no proprietary software or AI-enabled diagnostic tooling.

Commercially, the practice operates as a sole proprietorship under German healthcare regulation. Revenue is generated through three reimbursement streams: statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenkassen / GKV) under the Kassenarztsitz, private health insurance (PKV/Beihilfe) billed under the GOÄ fee schedule, and self-paying patients. Patient acquisition is referral-driven (GP überweisungen, self-referral, and the practice website) with no commercial digital marketing. The practice serves patients across Freiburg and the surrounding Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald / Südlicher Oberrhein region, with no disclosed geographic expansion, external funding, or M&A activity.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Asklepios Kliniken: Major German hospital group operating cardiology departments and outpatient cardiology centers. Represents a large-scale incumbent competing for the same cardiology patient pool via integrated care pathways.
• Sana Kliniken: Germany's third-largest private hospital chain with cardiology service lines and affiliated MVZs. Comparable in offering ambulatory non-invasive cardiology at scale, but with broader geographic and service reach.
• Helios Kliniken (Helios MVZ cardiology): Germany's largest private hospital group with cardiology MVZs nationwide. Competes as a broader ambulatory-plus-inpatient cardiology network that can absorb referrals across regions.

Others

• Medtronic Cardiac Diagnostics & Services: Strategic device partner whose pacemaker/ICD/CRT platforms the practice depends on. Indirectly comparable as a cardiology ecosystem enabler; Medtronic's remote monitoring services (CareLink) shape where device follow-up revenue accrues.
• Biotronik (Home Monitoring / CRM): Second strategic device partner whose devices the practice monitors. Comparable as an adjacent ecosystem player whose BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring platform competes with in-clinic device follow-up for patient retention.

Regional players

• Universitäts-Herzzentrum Freiburg-Bad Krozingen: Academic cardiology center in the same catchment area. While offering full tertiary and interventional cardiology, its outpatient diagnostic and device follow-up clinics compete with the practice for regional cardiology referrals.
• Kreiskrankenhaus Lörrach - Cardiology Department: Regional hospital cardiology department where Anthony Taylor previously worked and where he ran the pacemaker/ICD clinic. Competes for cardiology referrals from the same Upper Rhine region.
• Max Grundig Klinik (Bühlerhöhe, Baden-Baden): Specialty cardiology and internal medicine clinic in Baden-Baden where Dr. Mayer previously served as Senior Physician (2017-2021). Comparable in offering non-invasive cardiology diagnostics to a regional premium patient base.

Direct peers

• CorCare - Praxis für Kardiologie: Independent German cardiology practice network offering non-invasive diagnostics and device follow-up. Comparable as a small-scale specialist cardiology provider using similar echo, stress, and device-monitoring workflows.
• MediClin MVZ Freiburg: Dr. Mayer's former employer (2021-2024) and a regional cardiology MVZ in Freiburg. Operates a cardiology outpatient center directly comparable in service mix (non-invasive diagnostics, device checks) and patient geography.
