Privatklinik Ritzensee ⚕️ Spitzenmedizin im Salzburger Land

As an orthopedic and trauma surgeon in our region, I specialize in the treatment of acute musculoskeletal injuries and their consequences. This includes both surgical and conservative treatment methods, up to joint replacement. Selecting the best treatment strategy for each individual patient, supporting them throughout their treatment, and ultimately improving their quality of life are the cornerstones of my approach.
