Finding a good, English-speaking paediatrician (Kinderarzt) in your area is vital when having children. Berlin has a number of English-speaking paediatricians and I have put together a list of children's doctors that have been recommended by a number of readers and across the web. Like with my list of English speaking gynaecologists what one parent appreciates in a paediatrician can be different to another, so please keep this in mind when reading through the list.
