You can request an appointment by calling the office directly, sending an email, or using the contact form on this website. My team will get back to you promptly to confirm a suitable time and location.

Outpatient consultations are covered by basic Swiss health insurance (LaMal) if you are insured in Switzerland. For self-paying or international patients, a fee will be communicated in advance based on the type of consultation. Italian private insurance can generally be accepted.

If you are insured under the Swiss health system and your plan requires a referral (managed care models), please bring one from your general practitioner or insurance company doctor. If you have private or supplementary insurance, or if you are a self-paying patient, a referral is not mandatory.

I operate primarily at Clinica Ars Medica in Gravesano and at the Ospedale Regionale La Carità in Locarno. Surgical location may vary depending on the type of procedure and insurance coverage.

If you are insured in Switzerland, most surgical procedures are covered by your insurance plan. For international or private patients, we will provide a detailed estimate upon request, including surgical fees, hospital stay, and implants. Italian private insurance can generally be accepted.
