Cardiology and Vascular Medicine

The cardiology department focuses on heart valve conditions and rhythm disorders. Specialists offer long-term EKG monitoring and implant all pacemaker and ICD systems. Chest Pain Units run 24-hour emergency hotlines for coronary artery disease. Echocardiography is the primary tool for assessing aortic valve narrowing.

Orthopedics and Spine Surgery

The Orthopedic-Traumatology Center handles joint replacements and spine therapy. Dr. Thomas Lerner leads the spine surgery team. He offers both conservative and surgical treatments. For complex cases, surgeons use custom-made shoulder implants – over 50 have been placed since 2019.

Arthroscopic services include:

Cartilage cell transplantation for knee injuries
MPFL-plasty for patellar dislocation
Ankle joint stabilization surgery

Urology and General Surgery

The urology department treats prostate cancer with the Da Vinci robotic system for radical prostatectomy. This technology allows precise tissue removal while preserving function. The team also handles urinary stones through flexible ureteroscopy and non-invasive shockwave lithotripsy.

General surgery includes certified hernia care. Surgeons treat inguinal, umbilical, and abdominal wall hernias in adults and children. These departments take part in the Herniamed quality assurance study to track outcomes.

It was my second time at this clinic for a reconstructive operation after significant weight loss. Both were major procedures and I was 100% satisfied. The care and follow-up were also excellent. Anytime again.

I would like to thank the two paramedics from the emergency rescue vehicle (RTW), the doctor in the emergency department, and the very kind nursing staff in the emergency department. I was taken seriously with all my worries and fears.
I arrived on the ward at 4:00 a.m. during the night and was welcomed there as well, very friendly.
The nursing staff on the private/premium ward was very nice and competent. They responded quickly when I pressed the call button. I never felt like a burden.
Thank you very much for that.

We were at the children’s stadium—everything was great: the nurses and doctors were all top-notch. I would always take my children back again. Surgery was also great. The operation team was also very kind. One downside is that the kiosk is not working at all, but it’s better than nothing.

I would like to thank the entire plastic surgery team. I had an abdominoplasty and rectus diastasis suturing, and I felt really well taken care of. Prof. Dr. Bozkurt, Dr. Mittelbach, Ms. Suton, and Ms. Odina—thank you very much for the great care. From the consultation beforehand to the surgery, my stay, and follow-up care, everything was truly wonderful. I would also like to thank the entire team of the ward in House 4, 7th floor. I felt really well looked after in the days after the operation.

Hello, I would like to thank the Endocrine Surgery team at the OAZ and the ENT ward. I rarely experienced anything as friendly in every area. I felt very comfortable because of it. Thank you very much.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the children’s hospital, pediatric cardiology, and the pediatric intensive care unit!

My 16-year-old son and I felt incredibly well cared for both medically and personally throughout the entire time. In particular, the calm, attentive, and caring support in the pediatric intensive care unit gave us a great deal of security in a situation that was very frightening for us. The entire team was dedicated, respectful, and there for us at all times.

We would especially like to highlight Dr. med. Jannika Dodge-Khatami. By looking at the EKG, she immediately recognized what was wrong with my son—an apparently congenital heart defect that only became noticeable now and needs to be treated operatively.

Her professional competence, her quick and confident assessment, and her calm and assured way of acting deeply impressed me as a mother. At the same time, she treated my son with great warmth and appreciation and guided him wonderfully through this difficult situation.

She also supported me in a loving and respectful way. We are especially grateful that she arranged a timely and important surgery date at another clinic.

A big thank-you to the entire team of the children’s hospital, pediatric cardiology, and the pediatric intensive care unit—and from the bottom of our hearts, especially to Dr. Dodge-Khatami.

A huge thank you to the entire ENT team at Helios Klinikum Wuppertal-Barmen!
My husband was admitted to the ENT department with perichondritis (swelling of the ear). The ear was treated quickly and successfully. But what followed is unfortunately no longer a given these days:
Since February, my husband had been suffering from constantly changing, severe symptoms (fever, chills, weight loss, problems involving the lungs, kidneys, prostate and joints) and simply couldn’t get back on his feet. When it was time for discharge, Chief Physician Mr. Stöbe and Mr. Müller listened to me attentively. They took a great deal of time, requested all previous test results, obtained X-ray and CT images, and consulted with colleagues from other specialties.
Thanks to this outstanding commitment, they established contact with the hematologist Dr. Liss. With his experience, the VEXAS syndrome was ultimately diagnosed. After months of uncertainty, exhaustion and worry, that took a ton of weight off our shoulders.
We would like to sincerely thank Chief Physician Mr. Stöbe, Mr. Müller, Dr. Liss and the entire wonderful ENT nursing staff. Here, the profession of a doctor is still carried out with complete dedication, empathy, and genuine passion for the patient. The ENT department has brought the decisive turning point for us—thank you for listening to us and helping us!

My sister and I were today in the emergency outpatient department of Helios Hospital because of pneumonia, and we would like to offer our heartfelt thanks.

We genuinely felt very well cared for. The doctors were incredibly friendly, understanding, and took a lot of time with us. A very special thank-you goes to the nurse Suada — she was so warm, compassionate, and caring, and she really took great care of her.

Especially in a situation where you’re worried and unsure, such a human, loving approach means an incredible amount.

Thank you to the entire team!

I can highly recommend Proktologie. Prof. Dr. med. Bönicke and his team are absolutely competent and friendly. I felt extremely well taken care of. I would give more stars if I could. Thank you to the team.
