Dr. Bernhard Hofer Proctological Practice Munich

Practice founder Dr. Bernhard Hofer

When the practice was taken over, the staff consisted of the owner and one employee. Meanwhile we are three doctors and five employees. Nevertheless, the day is always too short and free dates are quickly allocated. In urgent cases, we always try to find a solution via the waiting list or unscheduled appointments. However, please understand that our possibilities are not unlimited.

Proctological practice and Pilonidal Sinus Center introduce themselves

Our specialists

Are you looking for a proctologist in Munich? With Dr. Bernhard Hofer, Dr. Klaus Bärtl and Dr. Susanne Schuster, three experienced specialists will take care of you. We have specialised exclusively in the treatment of the rectum and coccyx.

My name is Dr. Bernhard Hofer. I am a specialist in surgery, visceral surgery and proctology and decided in 2012 to set up my own practice after 20 years in the clinic. My motivation was and is to be able to offer the best possible treatment for coccyx fistulas and haemorrhoids. We are never satisfied with what we have achieved, but are constantly looking for ways to improve.

For example, I transferred the surgical strategy for minimally invasive thyroid surgery to surgery of the coccyx fistula and took over video endoscopy from arthroscopic joint surgery. We found particularly fine instruments among our colleagues in ENT and dentistry. Constant study of the specialist literature provides the necessary input for new ideas.

Despite our enthusiasm for progress, we never lose sight of proven techniques. In the treatment of chronic anal fissure and anal fistula, no new method has yet come close to conventional excision in terms of success rate. But even during these operations, lasers and magnifying glasses ensure improved precision.

Our surgeries take place in the practice and in the Iatros Clinic (outpatient surgery center). We no longer offer inpatient operations in the Diakonie Maxvorstadt in-patient clinic.

The friendly team of medical assistants of our practice

We always have an open ear for your questions and try, even with a full calendar, to offer an appointment.
