Prof. Dr. Hartmut Göbel
Professor Dr. Hartmut Göbel, Chief Physician of the Kiel Pain Clinic, is considered by the editors of Fokus Gesundheit to be one of Germany's top physicians in the field of pain therapy, based on an independent assessment. The specialist in neurological and behavioral medicine pain therapy, with a focus on migraines, headaches, cluster headaches, medication-overuse headaches, neuralgia, nerve root irritation, pain following disc surgery, spinal disorders, and nerve and muscle pain at the Kiel Pain Clinic, has once again been included in the prestigious 2020 list of top doctors, as he has been consistently in previous years.
The list of top doctors, which has existed for over 20 years, is considered a renowned guide to highly specialized, state-of-the-art care. The evaluation incorporates extensive surveys conducted in cooperation with medical societies, scientific publications, recommendations from patient associations, self-help groups, hospital directors, senior physicians, and specialized private practitioners.
Professor Dr. Göbel conceived and founded the Kiel Pain Clinic. He developed a networked, highly specialized pain therapy system. He initiated the nationwide pain treatment network to provide state-of-the-art care for severely affected patients from across Germany and abroad.
Regarding the renewed inclusion in the FOCUS list of top doctors, Prof. Göbel said: “This award belongs to the entire clinic team and is an expression of the extraordinary commitment of all the staff members involved in our clinic. At the Kiel Pain Clinic, we want to offer our patients the best possible, state-of-the-art care for chronic pain. We directly implement the latest national and international scientific findings in patient care and develop new treatment concepts for those affected for whom effective relief from their severe and chronic pain is currently not possible.”.
