Praxis für Kinderwunsch & Hormone Hamburger Straße

Behind the practice for fertility and hormones on Hamburger Straße are two doctors, Dr. med. Tina Osterholz-Zaleski and Dr. med. Urte Pauly, whose team, by their own account, can look back on more than 30 years of combined professional experience in reproductive medicine. The practice is organized as a private practice and therefore bills exclusively under the GOÄ (German Fee Schedule for Physicians); it does not bill statutory health insurance funds. The range of services includes monitored cycles, insemination, IVF, ICSI, and the gentler IVF-Naturelle® method, which largely forgoes hormonal stimulation. The latter is a unique selling point: the practice is a member of the IVF-Naturelle® competence network and, by its own account, is among the few facilities offering this method in Hamburg. The offering is complemented by elective egg freezing for fertility preservation as well as tubal evaluation and diagnostics in cases of infertility. Particularly noteworthy is the in-house IVF lab, which is operated under clean-room conditions in accordance with EU directives. The practice’s biologists work there directly on site, which ensures short distances between treatment and lab work. The practice describes this setup as unique in Hamburg. The practice explicitly serves heterosexual couples, lesbian couples, and single people who are seeking solo motherhood. Hormone diagnostics and therapy for cycle disorders, endometriosis, menopausal symptoms, or acne are also part of the offering. Appointments can be booked online, and the practice can be reached by phone Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
