Ich war zu einem Austausch meiner Brustimplantate wegen einer Kapselfibrose bei Frau Dr. Finke in Behandlung. Ich fühlte mich sehr gut aufgehoben, ernst genommen und verstanden. Sie ging sehr einfühlsam, aufmerksam und verständnisvoll auf mich ein.

Ich habe Dr. Frantzen als sehr natürlichen und umgänglichen Menschen erlebt, der seinen Patienten klar Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Plastischen Chirurgie aufzeigt. Souveränes, effizientes und überzeugendes Arbeiten.

Dr. Frantzen is amazing! He is willing to talk through treatments and thoroughly explain all factors, which I really appreciated. He and his helpful and friendly office staff speak perfect English if you prefer, which is great for me since I just moved to Germany.
