Medical Services

My therapeutic focus lies in the field of paediatric surgery as well as in the area of general medical treatment.

As a paediatric surgeon, I treat patients from infancy to adolescence. My work includes diagnosis, conservative and surgical treatment as well as follow-up treatment and prevention of a wide range of illnesses.

 

I combine a personal care culture in my private practice with the security of a large hospital through my work as a senior physician at the Department of Paediatric Surgery at Klinik Donaustadt (Donauspital) Vienna. I work closely with my colleagues in paediatrics, radiology, physical medicine (physiotherapy) and psychology and can therefore offer a high degree of specialisation with seamless care right through to adulthood.

Paediatric Surgery

The treatment spectrum of paediatric surgery has a very wide range: from neonatal surgery to visceral (abdominal) surgery, tumour surgery, ear, nose and throat surgery (with the exception of treatment of the tonsils and eardrum), paediatric urology, dermatology and paediatric traumatology. I always have the whole body in mind, especially due to my very broad specialism as a paediatric surgeon.

 

I treat the following typical illnesses and injuries, among others:
