Jürgen Klasen is a consultant neurosurgeon specialising in spinal surgery. After his neurosurgical training, in which spinal surgery was already a focus, he expanded his expertise in the field of orthopaedic spinal surgery, thus combining the neurosurgical and orthopaedic perspectives on spinal diseases. In doing so, clinical work on patients has always been at the forefront for him. Personal, individual care from the first meeting to the entire course of treatment, including follow-up treatment, is of great importance to him. This applies to both conservative and, in particular, surgical treatments. In addition to surgical work, he is also interested in conservative treatment alternatives such as interventional pain therapy, manual therapy and acupuncture. Furthermore, he is also active as an expert witness and as a consultant in the insurance sector. As a sideline, he has completed a distance learning course in health economics. After many years of clinical activity in hospitals and practices, he works as an independent attending physician at the Hirslanden Clinic and the Zollikerberg Hospital.
