I saw Dr. Richter for treatment of a PTMC by radio-frequency ablation (RFA) The procedure was straightforward and went as expected. Total time including local anesthesia was approx. 20-30 minutes followed by one hour of observation and cold compress on the neck. From a patient’s point of view it was very easy – some feelings of pressure and minor discomfort during the procedure but nothing remarkable (best described as the ache from a very icy drink in the throat but without the cold sensation). Within a few hours I was fully back to normal with only slight soreness in the area of the thyroid and no bruising or bleeding. Per instruction, I avoided any heavy exertion or exercise in the week following the procedure though I might add, from a patient’s perspective in the absence of those instructions I would have felt fully capable of resuming full activities the next day

Radio frequency ablation done in September 2021. Results after the 3-month checkup: a reduction by 60%. Results after the 6-month checkup: size reduced by 77%. The thyroid nodule that I have lived with for over five years is nearly gone. No more having to clear my throat all the time due to irritation, no more wearing turtle necks all the time to hide the very visible nodule on my neck. And best of all: it didn’t require surgery to remove parts or all of the thyroid, which had been recommended by other endocrinologist, and which would have required taking medicine for the rest of my life. The 45-minute long procedure with the RFA - where I could talk and continuously test my vocal chords (as a hobby singer obviously a concern of mine) - was painless and I could go home the same day. The doctors and staff were also incredibly professional, friendly and supportive throughout the entire process from the first rounds of testing, evaluating, consulting, all the way to the actual procedure and all the follow ups. I felt like I was in safe hands from the start, where all my questions, worries and concerns were taken seriously. This clinic is innovative and helps patients from all over th

I am a retired physician and scientist from Hawaii. When I was diagnosed with thyroid Nodules, my doctors recommended a thyroidectomy which means a removal of the thyroid. Such a surgery entails many major risks! Besides the usual risks of a major surgery like bleeding, infection and other complications, in this particular surgery there are other risks of injury. First to the so-called Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve which controls our voice. Secondly, and what concerned me personally even more was the risk of injuring to another structure near the thyroid which is called the parathyroid. That can cause getting what is called Hypoparathyroidism. A very severe complication! After further research I realized that the best way to treat nodules is RFA (Radiofrequency ablation). RFA entails nothing of the above mentioned risks! All the research papers about treating  the thyroid with RFA I researched demonstrated above 99% success! It takes however sometimes 12 month for the nodules to shrink. I felt the difference after several days. Further research with help of many other physician friends brought me to the top experts in this area: Dr Celebi-Hoffmann and Dr Paul Richter. Dr Richter i

Couldn't be happier. I went to see the MVZ AnthroNUK Berlin to seek advice on the option of thermal ablation to treat my thyroid nodules. My experience so far has been extraordinary. Both doctors and the entire staff are very friendly and competent. After detailed examinations, we discussed all the options and all my queries were answered thoroughly and patiently. I underwent treatment end of November 2020. Everything went fine, and - again - I really felt taken care of by my doctors and everyone at the hospital. The procedure itself was a funny experience. Although I felt a little pressure in my throat, it wasn't painful at all and didn't take long. I left the hospital the next day. It's been a bit more than two months, but I think I can already feel a difference. I can honestly recommend med. Dr. Richter, Dr. Celebi-Hoffmann and their team. Very happy to have found them.
