Monika Jaquenod-Linder, MD

Specialist FMH in Anaesthesiology, Pain Therapy (SGSS)

Doctor Monika Jaquenod-Linder became increasingly interested in pain therapy after completing her specialist degree in anaesthesiology. She was subsequently sent by the University Hospital Zurich to the world’s most renowned pain clinic at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, Australia, under Prof. Michael Cousins, for in-depth training and research. She then returned to the University Hospital Zurich and developed and managed the pain outpatient clinic for 12 years. She organised the interdisciplinary pain consultation and cared for acute and chronic pain patients with her staff throughout the university hospital. In 2008, she joined the team of the Spine & Pain Clinic (WSC) at the Hirslanden Clinic as a pain specialist, where she cares for complex post-operative patients and chronic pain patients with her many years of expertise and the good interdisciplinary exchange with the specialist colleagues of the Spine & Pain Clinic. As an expert, she is a sought-after speaker at many medical congresses. Her interest in and commitment to pain patients is unbroken: “I have the most exciting job anyone could wish for!”
