Professor Dr.med. Christoph Bergmann

During the decades of his practice, Professor Christoph Bergmann has acquired considerable expertise in a wide range of ENT conditions, from sinusitis to sleep disorders. His highlight, however, is rhinoplasty. The underlying principle is to improve the function of the nose as much as possible, with the best aesthetic result. The procedures are usually performed using the most advanced minimally invasive techniques. In 2023, Dr. Bergmann was included in the FOCUS Top Doctors list for rhinoplasty for the third year in a row.

Another expertise area of our ENT expert is allergy treatment with a focus on immunotherapy. Under Professor's careful supervision, allergy shots or tablets, prescribed in strict accordance with the guidelines of the German Society for Allergology and Clinical Immunology, successfully fight the disease and provide long-term relief from troublesome symptoms.

Professor Christoph Bergmann has a remarkable record in both clinical practice and scientific research. With numerous publications and scientific papers, he has not only received awards, but has also set new standards in the fields of otolaryngology, allergology and sleep medicine.
