Our patients and the referring or transferring doctor have a guarantee of the best possible treatment from the doctor best qualified to treat the disease. Degenerative diseases, injuries, deformities, inflammations and tumorous processes in the spinal column are becoming increasingly significant in daily clinical practice as the result of demographic changes in the population. It is vital for the general practitioner and hospital specialist to work hand-in-hand to ensure the best possible treatment for patients. This gives the patient and the referring doctor the opportunity to gain expert advice and treatment on a daily basis. The Central Accident & Emergency Department is home to an experienced team of doctors and nurses, providing an around-the-clock service for all issues and problems. Professor K.-H.
