About the clinic

Deep in the historic district of Spandau, the Vivantes Clinic Spandau operates as a high-performance anchor for tertiary medicine, blending academic rigor with a robust focus on long-term rehabilitation. Serving as a primary teaching site for Charité University of Medicine Berlin, the facility translates complex scientific research into practical bedside care. It is particularly distinguished by its full-circle medical philosophy, where the journey from acute emergency intervention to specialized post-operative recovery is managed under one roof, ensuring a seamless transition for patients facing life-altering diagnoses. Technical precision is most evident in the hospital’s radiotherapy department, which functions as a regional vanguard for oncological treatment. Equipped with dual next-generation linear accelerators featuring cone-beam CT and Rapid Arc technology, the center delivers high-dose radiation with surgical accuracy. This is complemented by a comprehensive brachytherapy suite and a high-volume chemotherapy unit designed for efficiency and patient comfort. Beyond oncology, the clinic has carved out a unique niche through its specialized memory clinic, an essential component of its senior psychiatry division, and its dedicated centers for metabolic surgery and complex hernia repair. The clinical landscape in Spandau is defined by eleven high-specialty departments, with a notable emphasis on neurological excellence. The certified stroke division provides immediate, gold-standard intervention for acute brain injuries, which is then directly integrated with a sophisticated neurological rehabilitation program. Here, doctors and physiotherapists work in tandem to restore motor and cognitive functions using differentiated therapy models. This interdisciplinary coordination extends to cardiology, allergology, and palliative medicine, ensuring that even the most fragile patients receive a balanced approach of high-tech intervention and symptom management. What truly sets the Spandau Clinic apart is its total support infrastructure. Recognizing that healing extends beyond physical surgery, the medical team integrates social workers, nutritionists, and psychiatric liaison services into the standard care plan. For international patients and those seeking an elevated experience, the facility offers specialized services that have made it a leader in medical hospitality in the Berlin metropolitan area. From spiritual guidance to community assistance coordination, Vivantes Clinic Spandau treats the individual as a whole, ensuring that the path to recovery is supported by both mechanical innovation and human empathy.

FAQ

Is obesity surgery available at Vivantes Clinic Spandau?

As a rule, all bariatric interventions in the clinic are minimally invasive and performed using a keyhole (laparoscopic) technique, which reduces postoperative pain and provides better cosmetic results. Mini-gastric bypass helps treat type 2 diabetes through a significant and long-term reduction in body weight.

Is it a minimally invasive endoprosthesis used in the clinic?

Minimally invasive TEP of the hip joint is a fairly popular procedure. In recent years, surgical techniques have changed, and now, with specialized tools, it is possible to implant artificial joints through more limited access while preserving the muscles around the hip joint.

Can I treat swallowing disorders in the clinic?

The hospital's speech therapists specialize in treating the most severe swallowing disorders and individually adapted management of the tracheostomy tube. In addition, various dysphagia therapies (including the Kay Coombs facial) are routinely evaluated using special fiberoptic endoscopy (FEES).
