Portrait of Dr. med. Daniel Imhof-Goricki

„The focus of my orthopaedic work is on sports orthopaedics and the treatment of the foot and knee, thereby saving the joint. My range is rounded off by knee and hip replacements. My years of clinical work with patients, my sound specialised knowledge, the striving for perfection and precision and the pleasure of being able to help people, forms the basis of my work as a doctor.“
