Honor: University Professor Dr. med. Philipp Drees Receives the Leading Medicine Guide Seal

His medical expertise is exceptionally high: University Professor Dr. med. Philipp Drees is not only a specialist in foot and ankle surgery, but he has also specialized in the hip, elbow, and knee—as well as in joint replacement surgery. He has now received the Leading Medicine Guide seal for 2020 in two areas that broadly cover his field: orthopedics and trauma surgery.

A specialist who covers so many areas? Indeed, Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Philipp Drees is a remarkable physician in many respects. His extraordinary versatility is, above all, a sign that he consistently devotes himself fully to his areas of expertise. As a result, this experienced specialist has also achieved success in pediatric orthopedics.

Nevertheless, the actual main areas of expertise of this specialist at the Center for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery (ZOU) at the University Medical Center of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz can be clearly defined: They lie in the surgical and conservative treatment of inflammatory, degenerative, and neoplastic joint and spinal disorders, as well as in revision surgery for these conditions. This outstanding specialist has also earned a strong reputation over many years in the diagnosis and treatment of bone metabolism disorders and in geriatric medicine.
