Sana Pedes becomes Ärztezentrum Emmental-Oberaargau
Continuity of care remains assured for existing patients: Dr Kai Dopke will continue to practise at the centre and provide his patients with the same familiar, personalised care.
Expanded orthopaedic expertise
As part of the integration, the medical services offered by the centre are being expanded. In addition to its existing specialisation in foot and ankle surgery, the centre will now also offer expertise in knee and hip surgery as well as shoulder and elbow surgery.
The medical team consists of three experienced specialists:
Dr Kai Dopke: Foot and ankle surgery
Dr Wolfram Nussbeck: Knee and hip surgery
Dr Viviane Steffen: Shoulder and elbow surgery
This expansion will give patients from the Emmental, Oberaargau and surrounding regions access to a broader range of specialised orthopaedic services close to home.
Preserving established care while creating new opportunities
Personalised patient care remains a central priority of the medical centre under its new name. At the same time, close collaboration with Privatklinik Obach opens up additional opportunities for integrated medical care – from outpatient consultations to surgical treatment where necessary.
With Ärztezentrum Emmental-Oberaargau, Swiss Medical Network is strengthening orthopaedic care in the region by combining established services with additional medical expertise.
