Crossword Genius

Doctor meeting various needs in German city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dresden

'german city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'doctor meeting various needs' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' ('Dr' can be a synonym of 'doctor').
'meeting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'various' indicates anagramming the letters.
'needs' anagrammed gives 'esden'.
'dr'+'esden'='DRESDEN'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dresden that I've seen before include "Decorated china" , "SE German city" , "'German city, noted for china (7)'" , "Send Red out to the German city" , "Germany city - reddens (anag)" .)
