Philosophy
The pursuit of the latest knowledge in theory and practice for the most effective therapy for my patients is what defines my work as their treating physician. My top priority is to provide you with individualized, comprehensive, qualified, specialist care—from the diagnosis of your condition to follow-up care, whereby interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues from a wide range of medical fields is a matter of course.

I attach great importance to a doctor-patient relationship based on trust and security, as I am convinced that this is the basis for any successful treatment.

Team
We will care for you during your treatment and recovery with experience, professionalism, and compassion. We are always happy to assist you with any specific questions or needs you may have.

Services
The right therapy is essential to treat your condition in the best possible way. After the initial examination and any necessary diagnostic measures, we will discuss possible treatment options with you and draw up an individual therapy plan. It is always important to exhaust all conservative treatment options first.

If surgery is nevertheless necessary, we offer both outpatient and inpatient neurosurgical treatment at the clinic. In order to minimize the stress for you during and after surgery, we use gentle and function-preserving (so-called microsurgical minimally invasive) surgical techniques.
