About

Prof. Hermann, head of the largest thyroid surgery department in Austria, Rudolf Stiftung / Landstrasse Clinic, which is recognized as the first reference center in Austria. Dr. Hermann can refer to his many years of experience, more than 8,000 thyroid and parathyroid surgeries performed personally.

Whether surgery is needed now or whether there is a possible risk of cancer, as well as which surgical procedures are appropriate for your condition, all of this can only be clarified and determined during a detailed consultation. Prof. Dr. Michael Hermann is at your disposal for this important initial consultation to accompany you, if necessary, from the individual planning of the operation to the follow-up.
