Great practice, great doctor. I'm seeing Dr. Berthold for a knee injury. He's competent, empathetic, and leaves no questions unanswered. He patiently explains everything and the treatment plan, and he involves me, the patient, in the treatment. The receptionists are also very friendly and helpful, and the practice is modern and welcoming. Highly recommended!

I can highly recommend the OrthoCenter in Munich. The receptionists are reliably reachable by phone, and when I visit the practice in person, they are always friendly and very helpful. Even spontaneous MRIs can be arranged for the same day in no time. Dr. Berthold himself is a level-headed and competent doctor who doesn't push me toward a particular treatment approach but instead presents me with all possible treatment options. At my first appointment, he immediately understood my circumstances and treated my condition accordingly. Since then, I have been pain-free and overjoyed to be able to live my daily life as I wish again. Recently, I had to return to the OrthoCenter for treatment due to an injury, and once again, Dr. Berthold found the right solution for me. I am impressed with the entire team and gladly make the long journey. Thank you.

The orthopedist you dream of. State-of-the-art and impressive equipment, competent, and, most importantly, genuinely interested! I had the impression that Dr. Berthold truly wanted to find and treat the cause of my problems. He's also very personable and pleasantly relaxed. Highly recommended.

For the first time, real progress! I had been receiving treatment for persistent shoulder problems for an extended period and had previously tried several other doctors and therapists – unfortunately without lasting success. Only here was the cause systematically analyzed and clearly explained. The treatment was individualized, well-considered, and not just symptom-oriented. I would particularly like to emphasize the clear communication, the professional expertise, and the long-term thinking in the treatment plan. I feel taken seriously, receive excellent professional care, and have finally achieved noticeable progress. I am certain that I will continue my treatment here long-term. Highly recommended.
