Dr. med. dent. Alexandra Hildegard Thies

Dentist

“My name is Dr. Alexandra Thies. I’m originally from Witten, but I’ve always felt at home in Bochum. That’s why I was immediately enthusiastic when I discovered Dr. Pracht’s practice for sale in Bochum’s city center. I opened my practice in October 2010 after a short renovation phase. Gradually, the patient base grew, so in October 2015 I looked for support and hired another dentist. I had a daughter in 2016, but continued to be there for my patients. In 2020, I expanded the practice again and we are now 4 dentists. I started with 2 treatment rooms in 2010 and now have 6 treatment rooms. In my private life, I’m a Spain fan and also root for VfL Bochum. I also enjoy dancing flamenco and salsa. I do a lot of sport. It’s important to me that a visit to the dentist is as pleasant as possible for all patients, especially anxious patients and children.”
