The Castle/Our practice rooms
In June 2014 we moved to our new practice called Ritterdoc Castle. We built this castle to serve little princesses and knights and help them forget the fear of an uncomfortable situation. We have seperated waiting rooms that are equipped with toys in the castle theme. Please check it out in our picture gallery
