Dr. med. Elke von Berg Review This is my experience. I…read morevisited Dr. med. Elke von Berg shortly after arriving in the country. I had picked up some nasty virus that warranted a visit to the clinic at the local ER. They suggested I follow up with a doctor. I also needed to get a new prescription for a medication that I had been taking for several years. I did not know what to expect from a German practice. The front desk staff was friendly and the place looked clean. Shortly after arriving I was shuffled around to several different rooms for different test. I assumed this was the standard practice for a new patient. It might be in her office, but it is not the standard in the country by any stretch of the imagination. They took a lot of blood and apparently ran every test you can possibly run. The office was extremely erratic and appeared very disorganized. Employees running every which way at the doctors command. The doctor's manner towards her own employees was very rude. Not just short and business like, but rude. The doctor was very through in explaining the blood results. I really started to feel that things were not write when I left with 8 PRESCRIPTIONS! Nothing was really wrong with me. 1 was even for a vitamin that I could have paid $2.00 for and paid an exorbitant amount at the pharmacy. The practice is set up very clever, with service clearly directed at American's. At the time she had a new billing specialist, that for a small fee would handle the US insurance paperwork. She also had a pharmacy that she directed to us that would take a vat form. She asked that I come for two more appointments. I can't even remember for what at this time. I did make the second appointment. Luckily I received the first bill before I went to the third appointment. MY TOTAL BILL FOR TWO APPOINTMENTS WAS ALMOST 3000 EURO. My insurance BC/BS only paid half of that amount. Which it telling in itself. Not to mention the overpriced prescriptions that I paid for at her suggested pharmacy. Some may say she is thorough, but that is not the truth. I took my blood results to my new doctor and he was astounded by the number of tests that she ran. He said that there were even several tests run that doctors no longer even look at. I want to mention also that I can't believe this is the first negative review, as I have run into a huge number of other community members that have had similar experiences. I tried to fight the bills, as I had no idea what she was planning on doing and the associated cost, but again, she is very clever and the first thing they do in the office is have you sign a document stating that you will pay for all services rendered. There are tons of excellent physicians in the area, just keep looking and get SEVERAL recommendations for the same doctor, before making an appointment.

Dr Tomida has been treating my husband's severe eye condition for a few weeks now. She and her…read morestaff speak English very well, which helps us to understand his condition better. She is a very caring doctor who takes extra time and extra steps to ensure you are getting the care you need. In our case she had to send my husband to the specialist hospital twice, and on both occasions she called ahead to make sure they understood his needs and on the second occasion she even tried to help us with negotiating a payment method that did not require us paying €8000 cash upon arrival. When you sit in her waiting room you can see she is a very busy doctor,and you may have a little bit of a wait, but that is a small price to pay for having someone who does her best for every patient. I highly recommend this doctor.

It is a female doctor and I have really liked her care for the 2 years I have been seeing her. The other big advantage to this clinic is that it is a walk in clinic so you don't have to make an appointment.

Great doctor, friendly staff, and clean office. English speaking and always extremely helpful. My…read morebiggest gripe is how hard it is to get ahold of the front office (both email and phone). I was inclined to give them 3 stars because of this, but once you get there they are so good... 4 starts.
