Dr. Heinz Winkler

Leiter des Osteitis-Zentrum Döbling

„Auch das beste Therapiekonzept kann versagen, wenn der Körper des Patienten nicht mitspielt. Osteitis-Patienten sind durch jahrelange Leidenswege oft massiv traumatisiert. Ein gesunder Geist ist zur Wiederherstellung eines gesunden Körpers ebenso erforderlich. Wir legen daher auch größten Wert darauf, dass die Umgebung, Ärzte und Pflegepersonal in unserem Hause positives Denken, Geborgenheit und Zuversicht vermitteln.“
