(54 reviews)I am board-certified in orthopaedic surgery and pain therapy. My medical education includes the University of Dusseldorf, St. Moritz, Switzerland, the Spine Center at the Orthopädische Klinik München-Harlaching, and the University Hospital in Quebec City, Canada.
I am experienced with performing a variety of injection procedures in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine.

I have been a lecturer of more than 200 scientific presentations and performed surgeries worldwide as a guest surgeon.
From 2003 to 2021 I served as Master Instructor for the Spine Intervention Society (SIS, formerly ISIS) in the US and Europe and was co-organiser of the European SIS workshops in Amsterdam, Netherlands. From 2006 to 2015 I served as President of the German Interventional Spine Society (GIW e.V.).
Dear Dr. Hess,
I sincerely thank you for the attention you have given to my case and for the very detailed and extremely informative report you have provided.
Since I naturally could not fully understand all the technical terms in the document upon receiving it, with the help of my neurologist I was able to grasp all the essential points, which confirmed to me the high level of professionalism with which you prepared the report.
The conclusions I received are exactly what I was hoping for. They will help me, together with my doctors, to decide on the most appropriate steps to take toward as complete a recovery as possible.
Once again, I am deeply grateful for your invaluable assistance.
Best regards
I am very grateful to Dr. Hess for clearly evaluating the treatment options in my case. Thank you!
Comprehensive response covering all aspects of the case. It helped us decide on the course of treatment and gave us a peace of mind regarding the treatment.
Thank you!
