Senior Consultant Dr. med. Anette Lanz

I started working in foot and ankle surgery when I returned to work in 2002 after several years on maternity leave, but a surgical role was no longer an option.

Having said that, it was still important to me to work in a surgical department, as the majority of my training took place in that kind of environment. After several years’ experience working in the outpatient department of a maximum-care hospital, I was able to build up a wealth of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of all possible ailments.

I took a keen interest in foot and ankle surgery when I was still completing my training, but at that time I came to find that there were only specialists in similar fields in Switzerland. I found even more drive when I was offered a position at the Schulthess Klinik, supporting surgeons in their consultations.

This set-up proved a success, which is why the team of conservative doctors has continued to grow in recent years – a team I now manage. By establishing this team, we are able to give our patients the best treatment we can and dedicate enough time to consultations.

My main interests lie in non-surgical treatment options for foot and ankle joint conditions, which, in many cases, go far enough in terms of restoring mobility and thus quality of life to patients.
