About the doctor
Shoulder and elbow: a dedicated specialisation
The shoulder is the most mobile and most vulnerable joint in the body, and the outcome of surgery depends directly on how many such operations a surgeon performs each year. Dr. Philipp Frey has deliberately focused his practice on the shoulder and elbow. He has operated at Privatklinik Bethanien since 2013, having refined his skills at the world-renowned Schulthess Klinik and University Hospital Zurich.
Why patients choose Dr. Frey
- Shoulder arthroscopy. Minimally invasive treatment of rotator cuff tears, instability and dislocations through keyhole incisions.
- Shoulder replacement. Primary fitting and exchange of shoulder prostheses for arthritis and after complex fractures.
- Sports injuries. A sought-after specialist among tennis players, golfers and skiers, including for tennis elbow and golfer's elbow.
- In your language. He speaks fluent German, French, Italian and English, and CorSwiss provides medical interpreting in your language.
