Team
Our team at the Interdisciplinary Obesity Centre is composed of team members with different specializations. When treated at our centre, various team members will most likely take care of you at the same time. Therefore, we use to have intensive exchange communications between all in the treatment involved team members. An optimized and individualized treatment concept is the main aim of this exchange in which the expertise of specific professionalities is required.
