Orthopaedics, Trauma Surgery & Emergency Care
Praxis am Wallbach is a modern, patient-focused orthopaedic and trauma surgery practice in the Bernese Oberland with a deliberately personal and approachable atmosphere. Our aim is to complement the existing primary care network and provide patients with a specialised point of contact for injuries, musculoskeletal conditions and orthopaedic complaints.
In a region with a high level of sporting activity throughout both summer and winter, rapid and competent medical care is particularly important. Through structured assessment and specialised treatment, we aim to make a valuable contribution to regional healthcare provision.
Orthopaedics, Trauma Surgery & Emergency Care
As a primary care practice, we care for patients of all ages – from childhood through to later life. In a personal and welcoming environment, we take the time to listen to your concerns and provide comprehensive medical care close to home, with continuity of care and a long-term approach.
Our goal is to provide comprehensive primary care – from preventive medicine and routine health checks to the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic conditions, as well as follow-up care and health advice.
Our Medical Approach
At the centre of our work is comprehensive and attentive patient care:
- Thorough medical history and clinical examination
- Targeted diagnostics directly on site, including digital X-ray imaging and in-house laboratory services
- Clear and understandable explanation of findings and treatment planning
- Close collaboration with general practitioners, medical specialists and hospitals
Whether you are seeking care for orthopaedic conditions, acute injuries or your primary healthcare needs, we combine specialist expertise, modern medicine and a personal approach to provide care you can rely on.
