Head of Spinal Surgery Pyramide clinic in Zurich, Switzerland
I am honored to serve as the Head of Spinal Surgery at the Pyramide clinic in Zurich, Switzerland. In this role, I lead a highly skilled team and provide specialized care to patients with spinal conditions. My focus on spinal pathologies allows me to combine my expertise in neurosurgery with a dedication to advancing spinal surgical techniques and improving patient outcomes.
My journey in medicine began at the Military Academy for Physicians (Neasmi) while concurrently pursuing my studies at the University of Florence from 1987 to 1993. This dual commitment laid the foundation for my future as a Medical Captain in the Italian Army.
To specialize further in my field, I pursued a Neurosurgery specialization at the University of Verona under the esteemed guidance of Prof. Albino Bricolo from 1993 to 1998. During this period, I honed my skills in neurosurgical techniques and gained invaluable experience in complex surgical procedures.
Throughout my career, I have held various key positions. I have served as an Executive Doctor at Azienda Ospedaliera S. Giovanni-Addolorata, a high-specialization hospital in Rome. I have also been the Chief of the Neurosurgical Section at Klinikum Altmühelfranken Gunzenhausen in Gunzenhausen, Germany, and later the Chief of the Neurosurgery Department at Klinikum Ansbach in Ansbach, Germany. These leadership roles have allowed me to enhance patient care, collaborate with esteemed colleagues, and contribute to the advancement of neurosurgical practices.
Education has always been a priority for me, and I have had the privilege of serving as a Professor of Neurosurgery at the University “La Sapienza” in Rome. This role has given me the opportunity to share my knowledge and shape the minds of future healthcare professionals.
In recognition of my contributions and achievements, I have been appointed Cavaliere of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. I am also a member of the Order of Physicians and Surgeons of Rome, Italy, and the Order of Physicians and Surgeons of München, Germany, where I actively contribute to the medical community.
Additionally, I have received accreditation from the Swiss Federal Commission, allowing me to make valuable contributions to medical practices and patient care in Switzerland.
Throughout my journey, I have strived for excellence in the field of neurosurgery, continually seeking opportunities for growth, learning, and collaboration. I am dedicated to delivering optimal outcomes for my patients and advancing the field through research, education, and professional affiliations.
In summary, my diverse experiences, leadership roles, and ongoing commitment to professional development have shaped me into the well-rounded and compassionate neurosurgeon I am today.
