You are in excellent hands with us
Our aim is to help you regain your quality of life. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that is customised to your individual needs. Whenever possible, we prioritise conservative therapies to avoid surgical procedures. If surgery is necessary, we will perform it in collaboration with Winterthur Cantonal Hospital. We use modern, minimally invasive microsurgical procedures to minimise the stress for you.
