Pneumology
The patient-doctor relationship is always at the centre of our activities. It is the foundation for a successful therapy and care. Our interdisciplinary cooperation between lung and cardiac specialists means that patients with complex clinical pictures involving the heart and lungs can also be provided with highly expert, rapid and interdisciplinary advice and care. We also work in close cooperation with the GPs and other specialists.
