private practice

We are a private neurological practice on Kurfürstendamm in Berlin-Charlottenburg. We offer high-quality neurological diagnostics based on a detailed doctor-patient consultation, a thorough clinical-neurological examination and supplementary technical examinations. In particular, we specialize in high-resolution nerve ultrasound, neurovascular ultrasound of brain-supplyling vessels and at the thoracic outlet, and electrophysiological examination techniques.

The examination time is generous, so that time is available for detailed consultations. Those with statutory health insurance can make use of our services as self-payers.

Our history

Our practice was founded by PD Dr. med. Friedrich Behse, a respected Berlin pioneer of clinical electrophysiology. Dr. Behse retired in the summer of 2023 at the age of 85, but we try to continue and develop the practice with the same humanity and thoroughness.

Languages

Our doctors offer consultations in the following languages: German, English, French, Hungarian, Romanian.

Our services

We offer the following diagnostic services

• electroneurography (ENG)
• electromyography (EMG)
• high-resolution nerve ultrasound
• vascular ultrasound (neck vessels, vessels at the thoracic outlet and transcranial ultrasound)
• somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP)
• visual evoked potentials (VEP)
• magnetically evoked potentials (MEP)
• blood samples for laboratory tests and genetic examinations in partner laboratories
• spinal taps
• skin punch biopsies to determine the intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) for suspected small-fiber neuropathies

Diseases

Due to our neuromuscular expertise, the focus is on the diagnosis of peripheral nerve diseases, in particular:

• nerve root damage to the cervical and lumbar spine
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• ulnar neuropathy at the elbow
• thoracic outlet syndrome
• polyneuropathies
• nerve damage to the pelvic floor, e.g. in urogenital pain syndromes, neurogenic incontinence or sexual dysfunction
• motor neuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

But we also diagnose all other important neurological conditions such as

• vertigo and dizziness
• syncope
• stroke (especially its prophylaxis)
• headaches
• acute and chronic nerve pain
• movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease
• multiple sclerosis
• epilepsy
• memory disorders & dementia.
