Symptoms related to the heart can sometimes be harmless, but they require a thorough investigation. In my practice, I offer my patients comprehensive care for various heart-related conditions. The more precisely you describe your symptoms to me, the quicker it is possible to make a diagnosis and, if necessary, initiate the appropriate treatment.
In a relaxed and calm atmosphere, after a detailed medical history discussion and examination , I inform you comprehensibly about all possible treatment options. Subsequently, we can collaboratively create a suitable treatment plan.
One of the fundamental principles of the practice is interdisciplinary collaboration. If collaboration with doctors from other medical disciplines is necessary for diagnosis and/or treatment, I directly contact the respective specialists to ensure continuous follow-up without delays for you.
If you have any questions, I am more than happy to be personally available for you.
