Endocrinology and Diabetology

We sincerely welcome you at the Medical Center - University of Freiburg and in our specialized department for hormonal diseases, metabolic disturbances and diabetes mellitus. We provide modern diagnostic and innovative treatment options at an internationally renowned quality level both in outpatient care and in our specialized hormone and metabolic ward. Our patients are welcomed by well-trained personnel dedicated to making your visit as effective and smooth as possible.

In addition to Prof. Dr. Jochen Seufert, Director of the Department and an internationally recognized specialist for hormone diseases and diabetes, several well-trained and experienced senior physicians take care of the patients as consultants in endocrinology and diabetology. Dedication of time and effort to listen and solve the health problems of our patients is a cornerstone of our service.

The highest quality of patient care is further ensured by interdisciplinary teamwork that makes use of our division’s modern equipment and the entire Medical Center - University of Freiburg: state of the art ultrasound, bone mineral density measurement (DEXA-Osteodensitometry), radiology (NMR, CT), nuclear medicine (scintigraphy, PET-CT).

Metabolic diseases (obesity) and diabetes mellitus are treated not only by the most advanced medications and devices (such as insulin pumps), but also by comprehensive patient counseling through our diabetes team that comprises experienced dieticians, nutritionists and diabetes educators.
