Focus on preventive care

Focus on preventive care

Prevention means responsibility —
for today and for the future

As an internist, haematologist and oncologist, I see every day how crucial it is not to treat illnesses only once they begin to cause symptoms, but ideally to prevent them from developing in the first place. This is why preventive care is a central focus of my practice. Prevention is more than a brief check-up. For me, it means gaining a holistic understanding of your individual health situation: your family risk factors, your lifestyle, your current state of health — and using this information to develop a personalised examination and care concept tailored specifically to you.

Individualised
instead of one-size-fits-all:

In my practice, there are no standard packages or blanket solutions. Every preventive medical examination is individually designed — based on your personal medical history and your current needs. Of course, this also includes all services covered by the statutory preventive health check-up. In addition, depending on your specific situation, I may recommend further targeted investigations, such as:

  • Detailed blood analyses (e.g. iron status, thyroid function, vitamins, inflammatory markers)
  • Basic cardiological diagnostics (ECG)
  • Evaluation of gastrointestinal complaints
  • Immune status assessment and vaccination counselling
  • Cancer screening (e.g. skin, breast, prostate, bowel)

You benefit from my broad medical expertise: as a haemato-oncologist, I am able to recognise early warning signs of serious conditions and, if necessary, initiate the appropriate next steps promptly.

Motivation for preventive care: a fixed part of every consultation

Motivation for preventive care: a fixed part of every consultation

I address the topic of preventive care at every patient appointment — regardless of the original reason for your visit. It is often in this context that important conversations arise about family history, new symptoms, or examinations that have previously been neglected. Together, we then decide what is truly meaningful and appropriate.

I also regularly remind patients during follow-up visits of preventive examinations that are due — because I know how easily they can be overlooked in everyday life. Many of my patients thank me for this, as it makes them feel safer and well supported.

No fear of “what-if” scenarios

No fear of “what-if” scenarios

I fully understand that preventive care can sometimes be associated with concern — with the fear that something might be discovered. This is precisely why it is so important to be aware of potential risks at an early stage. The earlier a disease is detected, the better the chances of successful treatment.

And often it is not about serious illnesses at all, but about minor imbalances that can be corrected with simple measures — through nutrition, physical activity, or targeted support.
