Movement is life. The musculoskeletal system is our health’s motor and it contributes to our well-being. The aim of orthopaedics is to restore mobility, which enables us to participate in the social side of life and enjoy an improved quality of life.

In my parental home I was taught the importance of exercise, which made it one of my passions up to this day. Early on in my medical studies, it also aroused my interest in orthopaedics, even though, during my first training stations in Munich, Switzerland and Stuttgart, the field was strongly male-dominated.

My passion for sports led me to train at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Sports Injuries (now Sport Orthopaedics) at the Technical University of Munich and the Sport Clinic Stuttgart. I also worked at the Surgical and Orthopaedic University Clinic in Basel, where I received a well-founded orthopaedic background.

In 1999 I successfully passed the examination to become an orthopaedic specialist. During my later career as a senior physician in the orthopaedic department of Medical Park St. Hubertus Klinik Bad Wiessee, I had the privilege of caring for competitive athletes. Here, I also acquired the specialist title for physical and rehabilitative medicine (PRM).

In 2004 I founded an orthopaedic practice in Tutzing jointly with Dr Andreas Krüger, and I have successfully continued it since the beginning of 2019 in partnership with Dr Nicholas McArthur.

Thanks to my many years of professional experience in orthopaedics and PRM, I offer my patients optimal conservative care through a broad therapeutic spectrum, including manual therapy, chirotherapy and other pain therapeutic procedures as well as alternative procedures such as acupuncture, neural therapy, shock wave therapy, laser therapy and kinesiotaping.

You, the patient, are at the centre of my focus and we will jointly discuss and develop the optimal therapy for your needs.

Pain relief and restoration of musculoskeletal function are the goals of trauma and orthopaedics. After years of training in the field, I have developed a great fascination for dealing with the challenges that patients face every day.

As a native Englishman, my first contact with Bavaria and Germany was a language course in Murnau in 1998. My enthusiasm for the country led me to study medicine in Heidelberg. After I completed my studies in 2005, I had the privilege of commencing my specialist training in trauma and orthopaedics at the Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Heidelberg.

In 2009 I moved with my wife to the UK to continue my specialist training at Medway Maritime Hospital. Between 2011 and 2018, I participated in the prestigious Cambridge University rotation(East of England Trauma and Orthopaedic Training Programme) and developed my skills in the fields of orthopaedics and trauma surgery.

I returned to Germany and worked at Schwabing Hospital, where I dealt with complex trauma cases. I later took over this joint practice with its founder Dr Med Eckstein.

Surgical management is considered only after conservative treatment options have been exhausted – which leads to greater patient confidence and satisfaction and facilitates the best long-term results.

I apply the most successful modern methods in knee and hip joint replacement and offer operative treatments for shoulder, elbow, hand, spine and foot surgery.

It is a matter close to my heart to get to know and understand the needs of every patient.
