Your companion on the way to a lipedema-free life
For me, my patients and their individual needs take center stage. As a doctor, I see my role not only as a medical practitioner, but also as a reliable partner at every stage of your life – someone who accompanies you personally, empathetically and at eye level.
I maintain close, trusting contact with my patients and am always available – whether in the evening, at the weekend or even on vacation. Because genuine care does not end with consultation hours. This level of availability gives many of my patients the feeling of security and trust that they need on their journey.
Every woman has her own story and I take the time to listen to it. My aim is to help you find the most pleasant, individualized path to a lipoedema-free life – medically sound, but also accompanied by a human touch.
In order to always achieve the best possible result for my patients, I scrutinize my surgical options every day, reflect on my work and continuously develop it further. After all, medical excellence thrives on self-criticism and the desire to keep improving – for you.
