About me

 

After studying human medicine at the Medical University in Innsbruck, I began my training in general medicine in 2012 at the St. Johann District Hospital, which I completed in September 2015 at the Kufstein District Hospital. Right from the beginning I have been interested in pediatrics and adolescent medicine, which led me to begin training in 2014 at the St. Johann District Hospital to become a specialist in these fields.

As a general practitioner since 2018, I am pleased to welcome you to my public health care system medical facilitiy. Further training in the areas of sport medicine, manipulative medicine, pediatrics and adolescent medicine as well as abdominal sonography enables me to offer a broad spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic services.

Working with patients of all age groups is a welcome challenge and I look forward to a shared future.

Medical services covered by state health insurance

Preventive medical check ups

One preventive medical check up per year is free of charge from the age of 18. This aids in risk identification as well as detection and monitoring of illnesses. Includes blood test and physical examination.

Procedure: Arrange an appointment for blood test (fast prior to test) then a follow-up appointment for a detailed consultation and physical examination, as well as further tests if necessary.

Mother-Child-Pass-Examination

I offer all Mother-Child-Pass-Examinations of the child including relevant vaccinations, as well as internal examination of the pregnant mother between weeks 17 and 20, plus oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between weeks 24 and 28.

Spirometry

The spirometry (pulmonary function test) determines lung function by measuring the volume of air inhaled and exhaled.

Blood pressure measurement

To diagnose borderline/unsafe hypertension (high blood pressure) or to optimise therapy for an existing case of hypertension we offer 24 h blood pressure monitoring. The monitor is generally collected in the morning and readings are taken over a 24h period; upon return the following day readings are evaluated and a consultation follows.

Laboratory

We offer in-house blood tests including C-reactive protein tests (CRP) to check for inflammation, blood glucose / INR (blood thinning) as well as fecal occult tests (blood in stool) which are available in minutes. For other parameters samples are sent to the pathology laboratory daily.

Abdominal sonography

The abdominal sonography (abdominal ultrasound) is a quick and simple procedure to assess organs within the abdomen (eg. liver, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, etc.).

X-ray

A digital X-ray machine enables us rapid, uncomplicated diagnoses of acute injuries, and if necessary, therapy initiation.
