I am a general and visceral surgeon with a private practice in Geneva, Switzerland. I started my surgical internship in Greece in 2008 and in 2014 I was accredited as a general surgeon after completing a part of my training in France. Thereafter, I continued my post-CCT training in the UK (Royal Free London and Imperial College NHS Trusts) and in 2016 I moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where I worked in the departments of pediatric and visceral surgery. In 2020 I pursued a Royal College of Surgeons of England accredited fellowship in benign upper GI surgery at Torbay Hospital in the UK and in 2021 I returned to Switzerland and I worked in the department of surgery of the cantonal hospital of Fribourg as well as in the department of pediatric surgery of the university hospital of Geneva.I have a keen interest in minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of the different pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract and the abdominal wall. My Royal College of Surgeons fellowship in benign upper GI surgery provided me with the skills and experience to treat various pathologies of the esophagus, the diaphragm and the stomach such as achalasia, GERD and paraesophageal hernias as well as to perform laparoscopic exploration of the common bile duct. In addition, my last appointment in the department of pediatric surgery of HUG gave me the opportunity to familiarise myself with different pediatric surgical pathologies and to consolidate my surgical aptitudes for their treatment.

Als Notfall musste ich im Urlaub zu Dr. E. Walder. Er hat sich hervorragend bemüht und mein Wohlergehen war ihm ein grosses und ernstes Anliegen. Dies obwohl er mich nicht gekannt hat!

My appointment started at the exact scheduled time and I did not have to wait. The nurses and the doctor were very friendly and competent. The practice was opened in January of this year just next to Bahnhof Enge and felt welcoming.
