The Galenus Clinic is a specialist clinic focusing exclusively on surgery of the spinal column.

We work with each patient to design an individual therapy which will allow you to go about your daily duties after only a short stay in the clinic and with no appreciable restrictions - even when the problem you come to us with is complex. It goes without saying that we make every effort to keep your mobility intact.

The duties of Surgical Director rest with Dr. Franz Copf, who is both a spinal surgeon and a trained neurosurgeon. Dr. Copf has a background of more than 20 years' experience in the area of spinal surgery and has performed a total of ca. 7,000 surgical procedures.
