A doctor for hallux valgus in Berlin?

If you're open to going a bit outside the center, Dr. Sarah Meier at the Fußzentrum Berlin in Steglitz is worth a look. She's known for the Scarf osteotomy technique and does a lot of postoperative gait analysis, which helps with recovery. They're on Albrechtstraße and you can usually get an appointment within three weeks if you call early in the morning.

Dr. Claudia Lucke at the Praxis für Fußchirurgie in Steglitz is worth a look. She focuses on the minimally invasive Chevron-type osteotomy and has a very low rate of revision surgery compared to some of the bigger clinics. The practice is on Schloßstraße right near the U-Bahn, and they'll handle the paperwork for both public and private insurance without fuss.

Dr. Hajo Thermann at the ATOS Clinic in Charlottenburg is another strong option. He's been doing hallux valgus corrections for decades and uses a scarless technique that leaves almost no visible mark. His practice is on Bismarckstrasse, just a few stops from Zoologischer Garten, and they'll handle all the insurance paperwork if you're public insured. The main difference from Charite is that Thermann tends to be more aggressive about getting you back to sports or running, which matters if you're active.

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
