We attach great importance to personal care from the first consultation to aftercare. Gregor Kocher Thoracic Surgery offers its patients access to the entire and comprehensive range of therapies in an interdisciplinary and far-reaching network. These range from conservative treatments to very gentle, robot-assisted procedures.

Together with the patient, we decide which therapy to choose. We take the patient's personal situation into account. The treatment plan is drawn up together.

Gregor Kocher Thoracic Surgery cares for patients at several locations, regardless of whether they have general insurance or supplementary insurance.

We speak German, English, French and Italian.
