Practice

Services

Orthopedic care in my private practice includes careful diagnostics based on a comprehensive dialogue about medical history, physical examination and reviewing of – for example – necessary radiographic imaging or lab records. After a diagnosis has been established, I am happy to offer my patients the following services:
