Clinic for Internal Medicine

In the Pneumology department, we specialise in diseases of the lower respiratory tract, including the trachea, bronchi and alveoli.

We focus on the prevention, early diagnosis and effective treatment of lung and respiratory diseases. By improving your lung function, we aim to achieve a lasting improvement in your quality of life.

Customised treatment plan

We take a personalised approach to clarifying your symptoms by working closely with you and your referring doctor. This process includes taking your medical history, a targeted physical examination and auxiliary instrumental examinations, first and foremost the measurement of lung function.

Depending on the issue, further instrumental examinations may be part of the diagnostic process, including respiratory polygraphy to detect pauses in breathing, X-ray examinations (from simple chest X-rays to computerised tomography of the chest) and bronchoscopy (lung endoscopy).
