Under the direction of Dr. von der Groeben, the Obesity Center at Muri Hospital takes a holistic approach to the treatment of obesity.

With a team of highly qualified specialists from various medical fields, the Center offers customized treatment options for each patient, individually tailoring the treatment plan to the needs and goals of each patient and including joint discussions, thorough examinations, and continuous support throughout the course of treatment. The Obesity Center offers a wide range of treatment options, including non-surgical therapies such as nutritional counseling and physiotherapy as well as surgical procedures such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. The focus is on helping patients make long-term lifestyle changes to reduce their weight and improve their health. Obesity is a complex condition that can be caused by a variety of factors including genetic predisposition, lifestyle, dietary habits, psychological aspects, and possibly medical conditions or medications. It is therefore important to understand the individual causes of a patient's obesity in order to develop an effective treatment strategy.

Thanks to holistic care and support from an interdisciplinary team of
specialists from various medical fields, the Obesity Center helps patients achieve their goals and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Dr. von der Groeben and his team are highly motivated and committed to providing their patients with the best possible care and accompanying them on their way to a healthier lifestyle.
