Pulmonary Valve Repair or Replacement
I have had pulmonary valve disorder since childhood, but with time it became severe, and the doctors suggested I get it replaced. I got a consultation from Dr. Hagen Gorki for my pulmonary valve replacement surgery. He did my thorough check-up, discussed the surgical plan with me, and I underwent surgery at Ulm University Hospital. The surgery was a great success.

vertebroplasty
I had severe back pain and I didn't know what to do so I consulted a doctor in Germany and I was recommended immediate vertebroplasty. The doctors and the staff were highly professional. I am very much thankful to the surgeons for relieving my pain. I recovered very fast as I followed the instructions and took rest as recommended. I would request fellow persons to go and get themselves checked if they feel unusual and prolonged back pain. I am now relieved and happy to be back at my normal life without any pain hindering my daily life work. Thanks to highly professional doctors in Germany.

Aortic Valve Repair
I was told to undergo valve surgery last month by a doctor at a nearby hospital. Therefore I was keen to look for a reliable and experienced doctor for my treatment. During the research, I found about Dr. med. Hagen Gorki, who is a cardiac surgeon at Ulm university hospital. I read his CV that impressed me and I booked an appointment with him. As expected, my surgery went successful and I am doing a lot better now.

Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
I was suffering from Parkinson’s disease for almost 2 years. I recently came to Germany in search of a highly experienced and reputable doctor for my treatment. I was suggested several names however Dr.  Albert C Ludolph seemed the most suitable of them all. I finally got my treatment done from him and I am very happy to say that this doctor provided me with services of the highest quality. His medications and procedures of treatment really helped me to fight the disease. I would highly recommend people suffering from Parkinson’s disease here in Germany to see doctor  Albert C Ludolph.

Mastectomy Surgery
Ulm university hospital is a safe place for medical procedures as the staff offers excellent services. I went to Ulm University for my mother's checkup and met Dr. Hartmut there, who is a qualified oncologist and hematologist. My mother had lumps in her breast, so he performed diagnostic tests to check which intervention would be suitable. After completing the diagnostic procedure, he informed that mastectomy would be suitable as the tumors were present in the innermost layers of tissues. My mother was reluctant, but he was assured of the successful intervention. After three days, the surgery was performed, and she was kept in the hospital for three days to monitor her post-surgical progress; fortunately, everything went well, and her reports were negative this time. All thanks to Dr. Hartmut's excellent services.

Facelift
I lived my whole life in Australia and I have used sunscreen all my life but after turning 40 I observed clear imperfections in my skin. My skin became saggy and it was not looking fresh. A friend told me about Ulm University hospital because she had her facelift procedure from there. I thought of getting the same treatment. I got my appointment and met the plastic surgeon there. He thoroughly checked my skin condition and suggested I have a facelift. It went well and the results were beyond amazing

Do the ophthalmologists at Ulm University hospital offer corneal transplants for elderly patients?

Yes, the clinic offers corneal transplants for patients who have permanent retinal damage. First of all, the ophthalmologists observe the patient’s eye condition, if there is any external damage then they perform minimally invasive surgery to improve the patient’s condition. But in cases of diabetic retinopathy there are minimum chances of recovery with LASIK. In that case, ophthalmologists perform corneal transplants.
