Orthopedics in Berlin-Mitte addresses spinal complaints with a clear principle: first understand, then act. Every diagnosis is based on a thorough examination, modern imaging, and ample time for a genuine consultation.
As the long-standing head of the Center for Spinal Surgery at Heidelberg University Hospital, Prof. Dr. Akbar understands the critical importance of experience, expertise, as well as composure and precision for successful treatment. At the Clinic for Spinal Diseases and Therapies in Berlin-Mitte, he combines these factors with the structural advantages of a private clinic. The result is medical care delivered at a university level, while simultaneously offering personalized processes without unnecessary waiting times.
For patients, this means:
timely diagnostics, as all essential equipment is available on-site
state-of-the-art technology
high-quality surgical equipment
high hygiene standards
consistently continuous care – from the initial consultation to rehabilitation
interdisciplinary collaboration under one roof
Our goal is clear: to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and proceed as minimally invasive as possible. We do not operate on anything we have not precisely understood beforehand.
Clinic Process – Your Path Through Treatment
Thanks to my specialization in spinal surgery and orthopedics, I can offer targeted therapies for a wide range of spinal conditions at the Clinic in Berlin-Mitte. The process follows a proven, transparent system of seven stages. Each stage serves a specific purpose and provides you with security and guidance.
Stage 1 – Initial Contact
Even before your first appointment, we clarify your concerns in a detailed phone conversation. We discuss what is important to you, which documents are useful, and how we can optimally prepare for your appointment. This ensures a calm yet clear start.
Stage 2 – Consultation and Initial Examination at the Clinic
The first personal consultation takes place in a calm environment – free from time pressure and superficial quick fixes. I take the time necessary to fully understand your symptoms. We discuss your medical history, your symptoms, and any contributing factors in your daily life, at work, or within your family. The foundation is an honest, precise anamnesis and a shared understanding of your concerns.
Stage 3 – Advanced Diagnostics
All diagnostic procedures are directly available at MEOCLINIC. For you, this means short distances, quick results, and clear findings. We utilize modern imaging and high-tech diagnostics to obtain a precise and reliable picture of your spine. No unnecessary waiting times, no detours.
Stage 4 – Treatment Recommendation
In the next step, we discuss the results openly and understandably. You will learn exactly what options are available, what realistic chances exist, and what risks are involved. The central question is always whether surgery is truly necessary – or if a conservative solution is more appropriate. Transparency, not pressure.
Stage 5 – Therapy
Conservative, minimally invasive, or surgical – we make the decision together, based on the facts. For me, surgery remains the last option. If necessary, it is performed under the highest safety standards and with modern, gentle techniques. For conservative therapies, I rely on proven methods and current developments, always with the goal of maximum effect with minimal burden.
Stage 6 – Aftercare and Rehabilitation
Sustainable success requires consistent aftercare. I will closely accompany you through the post-treatment phase, whether following an intervention or conservative measures. Physiotherapy, rehabilitation, mobilization – everything is tailored to your resilience and your goals. For any questions or uncertainties, I am personally available, including via mobile phone or video call.
Diagnostics – The Decisive Factor
Effective therapy stems from a precise diagnosis. Therefore, we focus on:
detailed clinical examination
MRI, CT, or X-ray – only when appropriate
clear discussion of findings without medical jargon
interdisciplinary exchange (Radiology, Neurosurgery, Pain Medicine)
Our aim: You should understand what is happening in your spine – and why a specific approach is recommended.
