Dr. Boris treated my duodenal ulcer and I'm so happy with the treatment prognosis. He was prompt with everything and made sure I had no doubts whatsoever about the treatment.

Ich kann Hr Prof. Pfaffenbach nur weiterempfehlen. Der Videotermin über Jameda begann pünktlich, technisch hat alles reibungslos funktioniert. Er war gut vorbereitet, hatte sich die übersandten Vorbefunde bereits durchgelesen. Die Diagnose und seine Empfehlungen waren für mich gut nachvollziehbar. Das Gespräch verlief auch auf zwischenmenschlicher Ebene sehr angenehm.
Großer Dank an Prof Pfaffenbach, dass er seine Fachkenntnis auf diese Weise zur Verfügung stellt! Er war sehr verständnisvoll und hilfsbereit! Ich habe Informationen bzgl meines Krankheitsbilds, und Ratschläge bekommen. Die Videosprechstunde ist eine sehr gute Einrichtung, v.a. wenn man weit weg wohnt oder wegen Krankheit kaum mehr aus dem Haus kommt! Danke nochmal!
Ich muss ein großes Lob an Prof. Pfaffenbach und sein Team, insbesondere auch an sein Sekretariat aussprechen. Ich war mit meiner Mutter in der Sprechstunde wegen eines dringenden Krebsverdachtes. In dieser Situation wurden wir so menschlich und ausführlich beraten, einfach super. Alles wurde schnell und unbürokratisch in die Wege geleitet, damit eine schnelle Diagnose gestellt werden konnte. Herzlichen Dank auch an Frau Anlauf, die mit ihrer tollen Art und Herzlichkeit alles möglich gemacht hat.
Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert dort hinzugehen, sowohl fachlich als auch menschlich. Findet man heutzutage selten.
