Dr. Birgitt Susann Eggers started the surgery together with Holger Förster in 1986. Her energy and verve make her one of the driving forces at efk. She thinks dentistry is so much fun she would do her studies all over again. She specializes in aesthetic dentistry, periodontology and endodontics.

In her spare time she enjoys sailing the seven seas and travelling in general. If you need ideas for interesting holiday destinations Susann Eggers definitely is the person to ask!

When she is not roaming the world or rushing through the surgery Susann Eggers she is probably riding her motor bike or walking Sebastian, her dachshund.

Dr. Thomas Knackstedt has been with efk since 1991 and provided the k when he was made a partner in 1993.

He is a well-known expert on implants but has also specialized in oral surgery and endodontics. He is responsible for our quality management.

Personally he likes to take on the role of the rational realist who shoots down most of the wilder ideas Susann Eggers comes up with.

Thomas Knackstedt was born in Hamburg and actively supports legendary football club St. Pauli. Thomas himself was an active player for more than 30 years.

These days the one thing he likes almost as much as spending time with his family is riding his motor bike but as a father of three he usually rides around in a family car. He likes rock music and gets tickets for Bagaluten-Wiehnacht every year.

As a DIY enthusiast he is quite an expert on all sorts of power drills, but thankfully he leaves the big ones at home.
