Nach beinahe 20 Jahren Erfahrung im stationären und ambulanten Setting in den beiden größten kardiologischen Zentren des Rhein-Main-Gebietes freue ich mich mit meinem geschätzten Kollegen Dr. Konstantinou, mit dem mich eine langjährige Zusammenarbeit verbindet, Sie in unserer gemeinsamen Privatpraxis für Kardiologie und Lipidologie begrüßen und betreuen zu dürfen.
Nach meinem Studium an der LMU München und Promotion zog es mich nach Hessen und ich begann in der Kardiologie des Markuskrankenhauses in Frankfurt. Nach einer mehrjährigen intensivmedizinischen Ausbildung incl Zusatzbezeichnung Notfallmedizin und dem Abschluss des Facharztes für Innere Medizin und Kardiologie leitete ich als Fachärztin in Oberarztfunktion das Ultraschalllabor und besaß die Weiterbildungsermächtigung für die Facharztausbildung für Kardiologie.
In dieser Zeit wirkte ich in einer Forschungsgruppe an mehreren Forschungsprojekten und Publikationen auch zusammen mit Dr. Konstantinou mit.
Nach meinem Wechsel ins Kardiocentrum Frankfurt am Zoo erwarb ich diverse Zusatzqualifikationen in der Schrittmachersachkunde und zuletzt kardiovaskulären Präventivmedizin. Unserer besonderer Augenmerk legen wir auf die Früherkennung und Prävention von internistischen Erkrankungen mit Focus auf die kardiovaskuläre Medizin.
Mein langjähriges Interesse und Erfahrung für ernährungsbedingte Erkrankungen und die Beeinflussung kardiovaskulärer Risikofaktoren durch diätetische Maßnahmen zertifiziere ich aktuell durch die Zusatzbezeichnung Ernährungsmedizin. Diese wird das Angebot unserer Privatpraxis zusätzlich durch die Adipositassprechstunde erweitern.
Seit 2006 lebe und arbeite ich in Frankfurt, meiner Wahlheimat, und lebe mit meinen 2 Kindern, Hund und Ehemann in dieser wunderbaren Stadt.
