About me

My reasons for becoming a neurosurgeon: 

Combination of two specializations: 

Surgery, because you can manually improve and "repair" something and enjoy working with your own hands. The possibility of being able to help with an operation in acute emergencies. 

Neurology, because the nervous system has so many facets that can manifest themselves in a wide variety of clinical pictures and symptoms. 

After studying human medicine and completing my specialist training as a neurosurgeon at the Municipal Clinics in Dortmund until 2000, I worked in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Heart-Neuro-Center Kreuzlingen from 2001 and at the Münsterlingen site from 2022.

I started working at Wise Medicine in 2024. For many years, I have been interested in alternative healing methods that can be used alone or in addition to conventional medicine, in the sense of integrative medicine. In my opinion, light and natural substances will be an important part of the medicine of the future.
