A trusted, patient focused Doctor with over 25 years of clinical experience and a long history of serving patients. With extensive involvement in carrying out emergency surgical procedures, I consider myself someone who is able to think and act quickly, remaining calm whilst working under pressure. I am currently working as an independent vascular and general surgeon in Lugano and Locarno, Switzerland.

I wanted to write a book about surgeon's ego for more than 10 years before finding a solution for patients as well. It is my firs book: Your Life Your Doctor – On the effective habits to help your medical caregivers. The checklists for patients and relatives are free of charge: https://yourlifeyourdoctor.com/ they should help to avoid cognitive bias. The book is available at amazon: https://amzn.to/3MvWrhJ

A am currently writing the second book about life and fear: I daily have to deal with the fears of my patients and sometimes my own fears. Exploring the mechanisms and trying to give practical exercises to overcome such emotions, the book should be terminated in 2023. How would my life look like if I could get rid of all the "little" fears that hinder me?
