All right. So now, freshly returned from my third visit to Dr Althoff's office, I have to heartily…read morerecommend him. After my nightmare visit to Dr Brink at the Tagesklinik in Moabit, where I got three wisdom teeth removed, I developed a dry socket at one of the extraction sites, which, according to the Intarwebz, is supposed to lead to pain worse than childbirth. Luckily for me, I went immediately to the dentist nearest me when I noticed exposed bone in the wound, initially mistaking it for a piece of food stuck in there after stupidly eating fried rice about 24 hours after the procedure. Dr Althoff discovered the dry socket and cleaned the socket, then re-opened the wound in order to force bleeding and a renewed blood clot to protect the exposed bone. In all the material I read about dry socket treatment I saw mention of this only once. Everyone else who suffered the condition was given a bit of gauze soaked in clove oil for the pain and had to return to the dentist every other day to have the dressing changed. Dr Althoff, after administering a local anesthetic and opening the wound, packed the socket with medicated gauze which did not need to be changed or removed, as my body absorbed it and the medication and it would dissolve slowly as the wound healed. This is, according to him, and I believe him, the very best way to treat a dry socket, although it is seemingly seldom used. The pain that was supposed to make grown men curl up in the fetal position and cry for days and nights on end simply never came. The wound was perfectly cared for and only minimal pain was suffered. He asked me to come the next day so he could check on the healing process, which was going great. He gave me very good information and tips for keeping the wound healthy and preventing the treatment from dislodging again. He noticed that I had no cavities or fillings and recommended me to come back for a cleaning with his dental hygienist. The doctor himself speaks perfect English and is engaging yet professional. The dental hygienist is cheerful and speaks apparently little or no English, but if you can pay attention during her endless chatter you will realize she is giving step by step descriptions of everything she does, tips for further care and assurances that you are in control of the session. At the first sign of discomfort she asks if everything is OK and if not, changes tack. She is very, very sensitive to the patient's needs and comfort level. If you can understand öffnen, zumachen, and näher mir you'll get through the session in German just fine. The doctor, although I didn't have an appointment with him today, emerged from the operating room and popped his head in while I waited for the hygienist, greeted me in English, shook my hand, and checked up on his work one more time, remembering exactly where it was and was satisfied with its progress. They don't do anything that doesn't need to be done. You don't get the feeling that they are just trying to make as much money off you as possible, which I really appreciate. I give this place a 10 out of 10. It looks a bit ghetto when you walk in, but after your first visit, I'm sure you'll have just as much confidence in them as does this medical skeptic.

At the very beginning of a one month stay in Berlin my tooth broke. Reading the reviews and being…read moreso close I choose this clinic. I was not disappointed. My dentist was Zahnarzt Georgi Kostadinov. From the moment he sat down next to me and smiled I immediately relaxed and felt so comfortable. I explained my situation (no insurance coverage in Germany and here for 1 month). I realized I was in a vulnerable situation and could easily be taken advantage of, but Dr. Kostadinov examined my tooth, gave me my options, and assured me that the tooth would be fine until I returned home. He smoothed out the rough edges, wished me the best and I left happy and light-hearted. I highly recommend this dentist at this clinic.

I went there twice and was taken advantage of both times. I was charged for dental acts I had not…read morerequested, and overcharged for the rest. Highly unethical. To say nothing of the dentist who was obviously quite sick and kept coughing in my face because he couldn't be bothered to wear a mask. Ich war zweimal dort und wurde beide Male ausgenutzt. Ich wurde für Zahnbehandlungen, die ich nicht angefordert hatte, in Rechnung gestellt und für den Rest überfordert. Sehr unethisch. Ganz zu schweigen von dem Zahnarzt, der offensichtlich ziemlich krank war und mir immer wieder ins Gesicht hustete, weil er keine Maske tragen konnte.

I've been there following all the good reviews, and...what a disappointment. Dr Brandmann is funny,…read moreplayful, charming character, always up for a joke and make you feeling confortable. Too bad for me, I haven't been treated by him, but by a woman, the only one in the praxis (can't remember the name unfortunately). I have been there for a ceramic crown, they pushed me to do a second one at the same time, i said i would rather wait but they insisted, and i finally agree has they offered me "good price" (ah, lucky me). Nowadays going to the dentist doesn't really scare anyones as doctors are generous with anesthesia, and give you has many as you want, but my doctor took for ages, pulling my jaw so hard, being almost brutal to me, and she was probably tired too, that at the end I started to scream at them! 2,5 hours to make the adjustment of the 2 crowns. Today i've been there to remove the provisory teeth after a weekend of pain, told them about it, but it has been the worst of all the meetings even though they were trying to go carefully. I left the praxis, did not eat anything the whole day, then back home at 20h i try my luck: apricot in mouth, 2 chews, weird feeling, like the crowns are still too high (after more than 12 painful corrections) , and i spat one of my 2 crowns in my hand! I'm going there tomorrow morning but never again with that Dr. I already have 2 crowns, right under the new ones, and never had to go through so much pain and hassle. To me, this praxis looks like a happy factory, bright colors, new tech, smiles, and big turnover to maximise profits. Important as well, the place is not tidy enough compare to other places i have been in Berlin. Goodbye Brandmann.

This is an excellent dentist. The service is friendly and swift. I was offered coffee, espresso…read moreand cooled water. The rooms are very spacious, very clean, very modern. There is a great view over the river, the harbor and the curious building from the turn of the century. The doctor remembered who I was and knew my medical history. I was listened to, advised and respected as a person not just a jaw with teeth. I could pick the music for the cleaning procedure. The dental cleaning professional was very gentle and focused. The entire business is open from early in the morning till late at night. You can reach the desk staff via phone without having to wait for minutes on end. There is parking right next door and an underground station as well. The big shopping center right next to the dentist is a plus, too.
