PROFESSIONAL CAREER

I am your companion on the path to a life free of lipoedema.

For me, my patients and their individual needs are the focus of my attention. As a doctor, I see my role not only as a medical practitioner, but also as a reliable companion for this phase of your life – someone who guides you personally, empathetically on an eye-to-eye level.

I maintain close, trusting contact with my patients and am available at any time – whether in the evening, at the weekend or even on holiday. Because genuine care does not end with consultation hours. This level of availability gives many of my patients the feeling of security and trust they need on their journey.

Every woman has her own story, and I take the time to listen to it. My goal is to provide you with the most comfortable, individualised path to a life free of lipoedema – medically sound, but also accompanied by human compassion.

In order to always achieve the best possible results for my patients, I question my surgical options on a daily basis, reflect on my work and continuously develop it further. Because medical excellence thrives on self-criticism and the desire to always improve – for you.
