From personal experience to expertise: Since 2015, I have been helping patients live active, pain-free lives again with minimally invasive gold therapy – in person in Düsseldorf & Konstanz.
It wasn't a specialist article that led me to gold therapy. And this path certainly wasn't planned. A stray cat led me to a vet – and thus to gold implantation. As a patient and as a doctor.
In the early 1990s, I suffered a comminuted fracture of the knee joint in a car accident. Three operations initially brought stability. However, over the years, the pain returned. By 2010, it was clear: an artificial joint seemed unavoidable.
Then the cat arrived. And with her the vet, who told me about gold therapy. I was sceptical – but open enough to take a closer look. Shortly afterwards, I had my accident knee treated by my colleague Dr. Steffen Rose in Münster. The success was and is remarkable – and still continues today.
This experience won me over. Not just as a patient, but as a doctor. I wanted to know more, to learn and understand thoroughly. At Dr Hans Kjerkegaard In Aarhus, I completed my specialised training in gold therapy – and have been successfully working with this method and my knowledge for twelve years. With medical diligence. And with personal experience.
I know how debilitating pain can be. How it accompanies every movement. Influences every decision, gradually taking away the joy of living.
As a specialist surgeon, I know the human musculoskeletal system in all its facets – structure, stress, wear and tear. I know how important individual, responsible therapy decisions are. Gold implantation is not a cure-all. But it can be an impressive option.
I accompany my patients with medical expertise, personal experience, and a clear focus on what you, as a person with pain, need: What helps you? What supports you – specifically?
If this leads to a better quality of life for you, with more mobility and more everyday life without pain, then your path and mine have been worthwhile!
From my basic medical training, through my own healing experience, to founding several centres – here you'll discover how I became a pioneer in gold implantation.
Since 2015, I have been successfully using gold therapy in Düsseldorf and opened the Centre for Gold Implantation in Berlin in January 2020. The third branch followed in Konstanz as early as October 2020, allowing patients to benefit from my expertise at three practices. This expansion represents consistently high treatment quality.
In 1995, I received specialist recognition in surgery and subsequently worked as a consultant for health insurance companies and in public health services. Between 2002 and 2008, the focus was on starting a family with my two daughters, before I worked as a practising physician and medical expert from 2009 to 2014. My own personal experience of suffering ultimately led me to gold implantation in 2013.
After studying medicine in Parma, Essen, and Duisburg, I began my work as a surgical resident at Bethesda Hospital in Mönchengladbach in 1988. In 1992, I already obtained my doctorate on the topic „Acupuncture therapy of chronic cervical spine syndrome,“ which shaped my holistic view of pain management. These experiences laid the foundation for my later specialisation.
