The Stelzner Brothers

„Modern medicine has to be understandable for everyone and accessible to all.“

Gebrüder Dres. Stelzner

Medicine, Reimagined:
Fair, Transparent, and Accessible to All

In 2011, Dr. Dr. Ruben Stelzner and his brother founded one of the first medical care centers (MVZ) in Munich to bring dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and general medicine together under one roof. The innovative large-scale practice set new standards: with a concept that made high-quality dental care accessible to a broad segment of the population, and a unique 24-hour emergency service available 365 days a year, they gained recognition well beyond the region.

Under the leadership of the Stelzner brothers as founders and CEOs, the AllDent Group grew into one of the most successful providers in the health care industry.

By 2024, they had established 18 locations with around 2,000 employees. Their pioneering spirit and dedication were recognized many times over: in 2012, they received a nomination for the German Entrepreneur Award, and in 2019 they were named winners of the Bavarian Family Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the innovation category.

In 2024, the Stelzner brothers stepped back from operational management and have since supported the AllDent Group as advisors and members of its supervisory board.

Beyond that, both brothers remain active as entrepreneurs in health care, support startups, and serve as advisory board members.
