Dr. med. Elisabeth Formann-Weiss
Focus: Functional and stress-related gastrointestinal disorders
Languages: German/English
Symptoms such as stomachaches, digestive problems, or eating disorders often have causes that go beyond the physical. My goal is to work with you to understand the specific causes of your symptoms.
As a specialist in gastroenterology and psychosomatic medicine, I specialize in functional and stress-related gastrointestinal disorders as well as eating disorders. Thanks to my many years of experience as a senior physician in charge of the ward at the 3rd Department of Internal Medicine and Psychosomatics at the Barmherzige Schwestern Hospital in Vienna, I have extensive expertise and access to interdisciplinary outpatient and inpatient treatment options.
Medical hypnosis—a scientifically proven method—can also help provide lasting relief from symptoms and strengthen inner resources.
In a trusting atmosphere, I take the time to address your concerns. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that is both medically sound and tailored to your individual needs.
