Vita

Dr. Erik Fritzsche has been Head Physician of the national Albertinen Spinal Center since October 2018. It was founded with the aim of providing holistic treatment of all diseases of the back area.

Dr. Fritzsche completed his training with his university studies in Hamburg in 1998, and began his specialist training in neurosurgery in Altona General Hospital, then continued at University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. In 2006, Dr. Fritzsche had already established an interdisciplinary spinal syndrome in Klinikum Dortmund with an orthopedic colleague and began to treat all diseases of the spine. He subsequently returned to the city of Hamburg for a short stay at ENDO Klinik, and has been Head Physician for Spinal Surgery at Asklepios Klinik Wandsbek since 2010.

His specialization in spinal disease already was strongly influenced by his instructors at the beginning of his specialist training. He became aware of his interest in pathologies of the spine early on.

The team comprises specialists from different departments, whose members are certified by the German Spinal Society. They currently offer more than 1,000 surgical treatments in the spinal area.
