The doctor - Dr. med. Olaf Thorsten Beck

After completing his training, Dr. med. Beck has been working in the sector of joint surgery of the hip and knee joint since 2002. During this time he worked under the supervision of Dr. Rolf Walter, who performed knee joint-preserving operations on football, ice hockey and handball league players.

In recent years, Dr. med. Beck has been able to continue his training in the field of joint-preserving surgery. Using minimally invasive techniques, joint prostheses, especially at the knee joint, can be significantly delayed. Thanks to his many years of experience in joint surgery, Dr. Beck can provide you with comprehensive advice and care in this field.
