General surgery at the Medical Center Quellenhof

What we offer you

One focus of the Medical Centre is the conservative and surgical treatment of vein, rectal and skin diseases. After working as a senior physician in German university hospitals for several years, Dr. Leyla Rafi-Stenger was co-director for many years in a large certified vein competence centre in southwest Germany.

In addition to the conservative treatment of vein, rectal and skin diseases, surgical procedures under local anaesthesia or in twilight sleep with a competent anaesthetist can also be performed almost without exception on an outpatient basis in our practice rooms.
