About PD MD J. Heimbucher
At our Certified Center of Competence, we have a qualified team of doctors, dieticians, sports therapists and psychotherapists who will help you find a way out of the frustrating vicious cycle of dieting, weight loss and subsequent gain, according to the latest treatment standards and insights.
The focus here is not only the qualified technical support of our patients, but also the human attention that motivates and helps to ensure the success of weight loss permanently. A successful treatment of obesity requires a long-term concept and usually the lifelong guidance and cooperation of the patient is required. Our goal is to give our patients the strength, stamina and motivation to consistently follow this path. To show you that we can do that, we've put together success stories for our patients that encourage you and motivate you to embark on a path to permanent weight loss.
The basis of our therapy approach is our multimodal concept, which consists of an individually coordinated combination of measures of nutrition change and counseling, sports therapy, bariatric surgery and psychotherapeutic support. We also offer our patients in special discussion groups the opportunity to exchange experiences and to support each other.
