Specialist with the
specialty of pediatric orthopedics
I am a specialist in orthopaedics and trauma surgery with a focus on pediatric orthopaedics. I am currently working at the University Clinic for Orthopaedics and Traumatology in Salzburg.
My passion for exercise and sport not only accompanies me professionally, but also privately. For example, I have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and climbed Mont Blanc on skis.
In my daily work, I am particularly interested in helping people, especially children, with orthopaedic challenges and helping them to lead a pain-free and active life. Through my own sporting experiences, I understand the importance of mobility and the joy of movement and would like to pass this enthusiasm on to my patients.
