Liebe Patienten und Zuweiser!
Herzlich willkommen!
Wirbelsäulenchirurgie bedeutet Verantwortung für die Bewegung der Menschen und den Erhalt ihrer Lebensqualität im Alltag zu übernehmen. Dies setzt enormes Vertrauen und grosses voraus. Durch meine langjährige Tätigkeit als Leiter der Wirbelsäulenchirurgie an der Orthopädischen Universitätsklinik Balgrist, habe ich über 25 Jahre mehr als 20`000 Eingriffe an der Wirbelsäule durchgeführt und im diesem Rahmen alle Erkrankungen der Wirbelsäule behandelt. Die Schwerpunkte meiner wirbelsäulenchirurgischen Tätigkeit liegen in komplexen Revisionsoperationen, Korrekturen von Deformitäten wie Skoliosen und Kyphosen sowie in der Tumorchirurgie. Mein persönliches Anliegen ist es, Patienten*innen aller Altersgruppen eine kompetente Behandlung und persönliche Betreuung auf höchsten Niveau anzubieten und mit den neuesten medizinischen Erkenntnissen sowie technischen Möglichkeiten die Voraussetzung für bestmögliche Ergebnisse zu schaffen.
Gerne stehe ich Ihnen für alle Fragen zur Verfügung.
