Prof. Dr. Daniela Berg

Dear pati­ents,
dear col­le­agues,
dear visi­tors,
dear Stu­dents,

We are plea­sed that you are inte­res­ted in our cli­nic, which, as one of the lar­gest neu­ro­lo­gi­cal cli­nics in nor­t­hern Ger­ma­ny, is available to you with the best pos­si­ble tre­at­ment and a high level of exper­ti­se in rese­arch and teaching.

Our tre­at­ment, which is based on the latest stan­dards of care and the latest results of cli­ni­cal and basic rese­arch, covers the enti­re spec­trum of neu­ro­lo­gi­cal dise­a­ses with natio­nal­ly and inter­na­tio­nal­ly reco­gni­zed exper­ti­se in the are­as of move­ment dis­or­ders, demen­tia, pain, stroke/vascular dise­a­ses, epi­le­psy, neu­ro­im­mu­no­lo­gy and neu­ro­ger­ia­trics. In addi­ti­on, the trai­ning of stu­dents and doc­tors as well as the con­stant rese­arch into ever bet­ter dia­gno­stic and the­ra­peu­tic opti­ons are very important to us.

We cor­di­al­ly invi­te you to get to know our cli­nic on the fol­lo­wing pages and during a per­so­nal visit to the Neu­ro Cen­ter on the pre­mi­ses of the Schles­wig-Hol­stein Uni­ver­si­ty Cli­nic in Kiel.

We look for­ward to being able to assist you with our exper­ti­se and care.

Best regards, Prof. Dr. Danie­la Berg
