"Having an acute myocarditis, I was lucky to find Dr. Heidecker’s clinic. The diagnosis was made quickly, and Dr. Heidecker provided clear explanation of the treatment steps. With a lot of empathy and noticeable expertise in her field, she helped relieve my fears and anxiety about the diagnosis. To take into account all possible risks, further functional examinations were performed so that sarcoidosis could be ruled out. As a long-time runner, I can now pursue running again. I feel that I am in very good hands with Dr. Heidecker."

"After a long odyssey through several hospitals and cardiologists, I arrived at Dr. Heidecker’s clinic at the Charité. Previously I was told that I was not allowed to move much anymore due to my illness and that I should accept it as fate. Through the therapy and advice of Dr. Heidecker, I have recovered from my illness well enough to work again. Thank you again for the great care. No distance is too long for my health, so I don’t shy away from driving 300 km every time to find myself in good hands."

"For several years, I have been treated by Dr. Heidecker for my giant cell myocarditis. As a patient, I always experience her as very approachable and extremely friendly. Dr. Heidecker, as far as I can tell, is highly competent in her field and familiar with the latest developments, innovations and advances in her area of expertise. She goes above and beyond the usual level of patient care. For this reason, I gladly take a very long journey of more than 500 km to her clinic in order to be treated in the best possible way."

"For three years I have been followed and treated by Dr. Heidecker for my cardiac sarcoidosis. The routine examination includes first an ECG and then the pacemaker check, followed by the conversation and the ultrasound examination of the heart by Dr. Heidecker. Finally, a blood sample is taken. The topic of the conversation is of course the physical condition as well as the medication and any adjustments that need to be made. I feel the need to point out that Dr. Heidecker is a very warm and human doctor, who expresses herself in layman terms and who patiently answers all the questions you want to ask. She takes her time and is open to hear about the personal circumstances. I appreciate her approachable and extremely competent manner and I am very grateful to have found a specialist in this field in her. For this I am happy to take a 500 km journey. With this serious diagnosis, I feel in the very best hands with Dr. Heidecker."

"Dr. Heidecker is not only a dedicated and empathetic doctor, but also a proven expert in her field. Since in my case the cardiac sarcoidosis was not recognized by other doctors and was not treated elsewhere, I am glad that Dr. Heidecker pushed ahead with the diagnosis and initiated the right treatment. With this rare disease, I appreciate her international network and the comparatively high number of sarcoid patients she is treating to be very important and valuable. Even during my long treatment period, Dr. Heidecker was always approachable and informed. She always tried to find interdisciplinary solutions if needed."
