I com­plet­ed my med­ical stud­ies as a med­ical offi­cer with the Ger­man Armed Forces and after my license to prac­tice med­i­cine in 2001, I con­tin­ued my edu­ca­tion in the cen­tral hos­pi­tal of the Ger­man Armed Forces in Koblenz, in the fields of inter­nal med­i­cine and surgery, to become a spe­cial­ist in gen­er­al med­i­cine. I com­plet­ed the out­pa­tient part of the train­ing in a large rur­al med­ical prac­tice in the out­skirts of Koblenz.

Since 2012, I have been run­ning the fam­i­ly doctor’s prac­tice found­ed by my father in 1979, as a group prac­tice in the 3rd gen­er­a­tion, in Würzburg. As a father of two chil­dren, a moun­taineer and div­er (PADI Advanced Div­er), I see myself as a med­ical advi­sor and com­pan­ion for my patients, going beyond the treat­ment of acute and chron­ic diseases.

After com­plet­ing my med­ical stud­ies in Würzburg, I con­tin­ued my edu­ca­tion in inter­nal med­i­cine for 5 years in the fields of gen­er­al inter­nal med­i­cine, gas­troen­terol­o­gy and haema­to-oncol­o­gy. After com­plet­ing the out­pa­tient fur­ther train­ing sec­tion in a large rur­al med­ical prac­tice in Rim­par, I suc­cess­ful­ly passed the spe­cial­ist exam­i­na­tion for gen­er­al med­i­cine in 2012, with spe­cial­ist com­pe­tence in inter­nal and gen­er­al medicine.

Dur­ing my work as a doc­tor, I became increas­ing­ly aware of how close­ly phys­i­cal ill­ness­es were inter­twined with the men­tal state of patients, so that after my spe­cial­ist exam­i­na­tion I acquired in-depth knowl­edge of the treat­ment of psy­chi­atric and psy­cho­so­mat­ic ill­ness­es as part of a four-year train­ing peri­od at the uni­ver­si­ty clin­ics for Psy­chi­a­try and Psy­chother­a­py in Würzburg and Frankfurt.

Since 2016 I have been estab­lished as a spe­cial­ist in Würzburg, since 2019 in a joint prac­tice with Dr. Math­ias Vescovi.
