The practice is growing, which is gratifying.

  • Since November 2017, I have been supported by Ms. med.pract. Anne Oberle, who has been a specialist in gastroenterology since March 2019.
  • The experienced radiologist Dr Beat Rehmann joined the team in September 2019. Thanks to him, we can offer faster appointments for abdominal sonography and expand the spectrum of sonographic diagnostics to include thyroid, vessels, hernias and soft tissues.
  • Since January 2020, the gastroenterologist Dr Susanne Flückiger has complemented our team with her extensive knowledge in the clarification of motility disorders, pH-metry and coeliac disease.
  • Since March 2022, the experienced gastroenterologist Dr. Irene Guldenschuh has completed our practice.
