Holistic biological medicine is based on competence and requires a lot of attention, time, and commitment. It was with these values in mind that we created a team for our medical practice, to accompany and support you throughout your treatment. Our team consists of two physicians (Dr. med. Peter Strauven and Anja Roth) and four nurses / medical assistants who will respond to your questions and requests, and attend to your needs arising out of your personalized therapy.
