English Speaking Gynaecologists in Berlin

1/16/2014

I have been asked a couple of times for recommendations of an English-speaking gynaecologist/OBGYN (Frauenarzt) in Berlin and I am always a little careful with giving such recommendations. What one person appreciates in a doctor, can be different to someone else, however, I have decided to pull together all the recommendations I've found from others of English-speaking gynaecologists in Berlin.

Here you will find their names and contact details, separated by the district of Berlin in which they are based. Where I have further details about them, I have included the information in the 'details' section. For those of you who are not from English-speaking countries, there are two Berlin gynaecologists/OBGYN listed here that speak further languages (Spanish, French, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian, Russian, Polish and Turkish.) One of the doctor's listed only accepts those with private health insurance (this is noted their 'details' section), all the other doctor's accept public health insurance (you can read more about Germany's health insurance setup here.)

I recommend Frau Dr Jutta Greiger in Mitte/Prenzlauerberg area on Weinmeisterstrasse. She speaks English very well but the staff does not. I had a positive experience with her and felt well taken care of during my pregnancy. The office is nice and close to the Rosenthaler Platz subway.

I recommend Dr. Christel Sadok - she is always really cheerful and I feel really comfortable with her - she's part of a Gemeinschaftspraxis with Drs. Gabriele Halder and and Dr. Susanne Medenbach (I've also been seen by both of these doctors when Dr. Sadok has been away and they speak good English too). The praxis is on Bundesallee 56, a few minutes walk from the Bundesplatz station (U9 and S-Bahn). I think the support staff have limited English though, I usually speak to them in German.

Hi Wesal, thanks so much for the tip, I will make sure to add her to the list.

I started going to Frauenärtzin Dr. Ulrike Steinhoff at the Marheineke Martkhalle on Bergmannstr over a year ago (when I first found out I was pregnant). I've never heard the receptionists speak English, but both Dr Steinhoff and Dr. Freund (who I see) speak excellent English. I would recommend both doctors, they're wonderful! http://www.praxis-steinhoff.de/index.html

Hi Meg, thank you for the recommendation, I will make sure to add it.

Is it possible to just walk into the praxis without an appointment with some gynecologists on the list? I need to go as soon as possible for a new pill, so that would be the best!

5/6/2014 04:00:36 am

Hi Ann, sorry for the delay, I only just saw this comment for some reason. It is possible with some but likely with a long waiting time. It's probably best to call in advance and ask to be sure.

Hi There!

I came across this site looking for an English speaker GYN and I found one that is not listed here so I wanted to share her contact info with all of you looking for options out there, Dr. med Abhari, she speak English and her staff as well, she was great, thoughtful and friendly, you will definitely feel comfortable. The practice is very nice decorated, clean and everything looks like brand new. I would totally recommend her to anyone as I know how important is for us to have a very good GYN.

Hello, I would like to warmly recommend Dr. Jürgen Gödecke.
I started seeing him for my pregnancy, and he appears to be an excellent doctor. He speaks a very good English, is extremely kind, friendly and with a sense of humor. The clinic is located in Mitte, on a central street (Leipziger Strasse 40), and easy to reach by public transport. Their website is:
http://www.der-frauenarzt-berlin.de/home.html
Those of you that read a bit of German (or use Google Translator, like I do...), can find many online recommendations on Dr. Gödecke.

Hi Saar, sorry about the delay in response. I will make sure to add him to the list and thank you very much for the helpful recommendation. Sarah

Hiya - Just a bit of experience. Dr's Pett and Jandi (Kreuzberg) do speak english, but not generally by choice (Dr. Pett told me that my German needed the practice, which is sweet, but no help for my English-speaking husband who was also present). Additionally, we found that Dr. Pett's perfunctory style left us with unanswered questions, we agreed to tests that weren't covered by insurance because we were not informed of that contingency, and we generally felt as if we were not offered options, rather told the direction that our pregnancy would go (her anti-Geburtshaus litany was especially negative).
So, we switched to Dr. Geisler, who is less convenient geographically, but much easier to make an appointment with. He has filled in many of our knowledge gaps (in English) and is very open to multiple care options. So far, so good.

8/19/2014 04:15:38 am

Hi Georgina, thank you for the information, I'm sure this will come in handy for others looking at possible doctors. I'm afraid the lack of options offered seems to be very standard with doctors here (and a lot of services in general I feel after 7 years here) but I'm glad you were able to switch to someone you feel fits you better. Wishing you all the best for your pregnancy. Sarah
