My vision
Skin is at its most radiant when it is healthy – regardless of age. However, every skin has a different history, different characteristics and needs, and an optimum result can only be achieved if these are addressed individually. Natural beauty can be supported by various measures. Then everyone can feel comfortable in their own skin.
Dermatology/surgery with passion
Dermatology is a matter close to my heart. It is my passion to advise patients on their skin issues with all the knowledge I have at my disposal. It is important to me to keep up to date with the latest professional developments. This also includes a critical review of recent research findings. I am happy to make this knowledge available to patients in my daily practice
