This institution evaluates the training, versatility, and modernity of vein clinics and practices through extensive questionnaires and, for members, also unannounced inspection visits. Associated with this is a specialized quality management. It evaluates the quality of medicine and, this year, for the first time, it is fully digital. This means that even the smallest step of a treatment is traceable and evaluable. A new development and a basis for exceptional quality, a special relationship of trust.

The angioclinic® Vein Center Zurich is among the first recognized members, as the first vein center in Switzerland.

 

angioclinic® – a protected trademark in medicine

Since I come from a comprehensive vascular medicine background, I named my vein centers angioclinic, and not Venoklinik or something similar. I wanted to define a protected brand, so that in all angioclinic® Vein Centers the same methods, the same materials, and the same training standards can be offered.

Because several colleagues find my work very interesting, but don’t care about trademark law, there are now “angioclinic” vein centers in Russia, Brazil, India, and China that have nothing whatsoever to do with me. Funny. We have a sense of humor, don’t we?

They are vein-healthy and beautiful legs. Not naturally, but through a special treatment.

I view venous problems differently than most of my colleagues. Not because I know best. But in my 25 years of research, I was the first to identify and prove the causes of most venous problems: Congenital venous valve defects, which can still be clearly identified decades later, and three entirely different additional causes. No two legs are alike.

Unlike the “usual” and rather monotonous therapies involving surgery, standard heat catheters, and compression stockings, I can address the underlying causes specific to each patient. I can identify many future problems before they occur, and I can prevent them: Varicose veins are 100% preventable. Many cases of thrombosis show signs years in advance and are also preventable.

Treating veins without knowing the cause is like pulling out weeds without caring about the roots. That’s why the problems often recur quickly. That shouldn’t be the case for our patients.

I focus on a comprehensive investigation of the causes, followed by a targeted, natural therapy. That is also the secret to our aesthetic therapies, which always include micro-ultrasound (millimeter range!) and often techniques of “augmented reality”, to first address the causes and then sustainably and naturally normalize the appearance.

“Ragg Legs” – we have worn such jackets, shirts, caps, and other clothing items at countless marathons, public races, and sports events to draw people’s attention to the new opportunities in vein medicine.

Why is this Young Lady Smiling?

Why is this Young Lady Smiling?

We’ll tell you why: She has several good reasons. Firstly, because she gets to stand on the wonderful Cassiopeiasteg in Zurich-Wollishofen. This easily accessible footbridge leads from Wöschi Wollishofen across Lake Zurich to the Rote Fabrik and is quite an experience. The view stretches from Zurich’s Old Town to the Glarus Alps.

This short walk is particularly pleasant after a treatment at the angioclinic® Vein Center. After every vein treatment, we recommend 15 to 30 minutes of leisurely walking, as this supports healthy venous blood flow.

Few patients can imagine a vein treatment with us as it truly is. This young lady felt the same way. Most people have a little fear despite all the good information. And then they experience with us that it is truly painless. Many steps are downright pleasant, like a SPA treatment. Their legs feel light, and their soul is relieved. This was also the case for this kind person, who graciously allowed us to use her picture. An ambitious athlete, by the way, who has very high demands on her body awareness. Another one who was happy that the therapy went so smoothly and pleasantly.

Tip: Ask your angioclinic® doctor what to expect.

 

Congratulations!

You Have Found the Solution to your Vein Problems! I Can Say that for Good Reason, Because I Am an Expert in this Field.

I have been a vascular physician for 35 years. For the past 25 years, I have thoroughly re-evaluated phlebology. I come from the interventional radiology department of Europe’s largest university hospital and spent six years applying and researching catheter techniques for diseased arteries in legs, arms, major arteries, the brain, and the heart. And then I realized that we had few such high-tech solutions for veins. I began to develop them. With my own private clinic, with specialists in surgery, internal medicine,

general medicine, dermatology, and even naturopathy. Methods without surgery, without anesthesia, without X-rays, with mini-tools that are barely perceptible. Treating patients during the day and conducting research at night. Few have done it this way. This allowed me to be the first to discover the true cause of venous insufficiency. Today, my methods are patented worldwide and have made tens of thousands of people happy.

My most important motto: “Heal veins instead of operating!” General phlebology suffers from too many traditional, completely outdated methods. Vein operations are like old-time barber tooth extractions: far too crude, far too late, irreversibly destructive. Today, it is possible to solve almost all vein problems with my modern micro-invasive techniques, which require no single incision, no general anesthesia, and no downtime – and this can be achieved with excellent aesthetic results. Through early diagnoses and minimal interventions, true cures are now possible for the first time – “chronic” venous insufficiency is history. This is the greatest breakthrough. Most vein problems are preventable and curable.

Find out if this also applies to you, and visit my Vein Center in Zurich.

Varicose Veins Gone in 30 Minutes?

Dear Swiss, it’s true: varicose veins disappear in just 30 minutes – or faster. Thanks to my patented HAPPY VEINS procedure, this is now also possible in Zurich. Here’s how it works:

Visible varicose veins (A) are treated with a special variant of microsclerotherapy. The varicose veins immediately recede, becoming small and invisible (B).

The entire treatment is practically imperceptible. What you feel is more like a very pleasant massage. It doesn’t bleed, it doesn’t swell, it doesn’t hurt. Promised! (C).

After a few minutes, the result is secured with a transparent, thin film that you won’t feel and can barely see – done! (D). Compression stockings or bandages are no longer necessary.

Now you can thrive, enjoy life, play sports, even bathe or swim. The result will be lasting. Please spread the word, because this method is so much better than the previously common surgeries or simple “modern methods” available everywhere. I would be happy to advise you personally.

Please book your appointment in Zurich now.
