As a specialist in internal medicine and palliative medicine, I have extensive experience with acutely and chronically ill patients in the fields of cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonology and oncology. In addition, through my postgraduate studies I am familiar with Eastern medicine (M.Sc. in Traditional Chinese Medicine / TU Munich). My goal is to provide holistic care for my patients.
My work is characterized by empathy, thorough examinations and careful, guideline-based treatment. I also have access to an extensive medical network.
