I arrived at the office on Monday at 9:30 am and was taken care almost immediately by a technician that took measurements of my current glasses and my eyes. After this I went back to the waiting room for ~5 minutes before the doctor called me. I initially had an appointment with Mr. Galambos but ended with Ms. Galambos as she was free at the time. It was no issue for me. She was competent and even offered to do the consultation in French (I didn't take her up on her offer as I need to practice my German). All in all I had very professional service and I was in and out of the office in about half an hour.

EDIT BELOW: I am still on the fence for this review so I may…read morereturn to edit. As with most Dr. offices in Germany even if you have an appointment at a certain time it does not mean you will be seen at that time. I waited a good 30-45 minutes after my scheduled time in order to be seen. The day i was there it was quite busy and the waiting room had only a few seats so people were standing or sitting in the hall ways. Not sure if that is the norm or not. I would think a solution to the overcrowding and having the patient wait so long would be on the scheduling side. Don't schedule so many people when you know they will not be able to be seen at that time. The Dr. I saw was very friendly however she did not give her name so I do not even know who she is. They also want me to do all these test which of course are not covered by insurance so I am questioning if it really is something I need or they are just trying to take me for a ride so to speak. I have another appointment and I hope by that time I will know how I really feel about this place. EDIT*****So I had my follow up visit the next week and was really hopping that it would be better then the first. It was not. The wait was long again and people who came in after me were being seen before me. Maybe because I looked like a student and they looked like they came from money. When I finally saw the Dr. he was really quick, he told me that I had a chronic condition where eventually I would need to have an operation. He gave me a prescription for new glasses and I spoke to another lady who was actually really nice, who introduced me to an alternative to glasses. I left the dr. office somewhat pleased. However when i went to the Optiker to get my new glasses I was in for a surprise. My lenses alone would be over 350€ and my insurance would not pay for them. I asked why and they said the Dr. did not put on the prescription that it was a chronic condition. My friend called the Dr for me to ask for a new prescription. The Dr. now said that it was not chronic and he would not write a new prescription. I will never return to this place nor would I recommend it to anyone! I recently went to another Dr. who diagnosed me with the same condition but DID tell the insurance it was chronic and now everything is fine! DO NOT GO TO THIS DR!!

Dr. Bernhardt is friendly and he explains everything, he always take patients first. He is no body who would give you a medicine even when this would be the easiest solution without discussion an alternative way that would be better for you. Don't get me wrong he is not the one who wouldn't prescribe hard drugs (he really do that) but if there is a better alternative and time to try that first he will suggest that. I like him and i recommend him to everyone, even my parents. *** Nun, wenn Du Deinen Eltern einen Arzt empfiehlst dann kann man wohl sicher sein das er gut ist. Dr. Bernhardt ist genau das und bevor er Dir harte Medikament verschreibt bespricht er mit Dir lieber auch mal eine Alternative. Aber eben nicht auf die esoterhische Ökoart, sondern wenn es wirklich Sinn macht. Ich vertraue ihm 100% und deshalb kann ich ihn nur empfehlen!

Went to see Dr. Bernhardt today, taking Phil's review as a recommendation, and he seems a…read morethoroughly nice chap. His English is good (much better than my German) but not quite as fluent as I had been expecting. He recommended that I stop the medications that I'd been prescribed in a walk-in weekend clinic, and just rest my injured elbow as much as possible. I was offered a few days off work, which was nice, but after a discussion as to whether it would help my healing (not really), I decided to come to work. The only slightly negative part of the experience was that the receptionist had a slightly terse phone manner. She in fact turned out to be really nice in person, so I guess it was a language thing. I should learn better German.
