About me
I am a specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery, as well as a general practitioner and emergency physician. I completed my medical and specialist training in Switzerland and Austria.
My practice focuses on regenerative medicine and joint-preserving therapies, with the aim of maintaining musculoskeletal function for the long term and avoiding surgical intervention whenever appropriate.
If conservative and regenerative options have been exhausted, or if surgery is medically indicated, I offer surgical treatment for the entire musculoskeletal system. I perform these procedures at the Wehrle-Diakonissen Private Clinic in Salzburg, the PKS Private Clinic in Salzburg, and the Salvea Day Clinic in Linz.
For specific or complex cases, I draw upon an extensive medical network of specialized colleagues. When necessary, surgical procedures are planned and performed in collaboration with recognized experts in the relevant fields.
