Bernhard Stocker opens new practice in Braunau for facial surgery

In the Braunau region, the residents are looking forward to a new medical practice that opened in early December. The experienced oral, jaw and facial surgeon Bernhard Stocker will lead a practice in the district capital. Originally from the Bavarian community of Rotthalmünster, Stocker decided to return near his homeland after his time in Lower Austria. His move is not only personal, but also very relevant for professionally, since he succeeds a colleague who is retiring.

In addition to general facial surgery, Bernhard Stocker focuses primarily on the removal of white skin cancer, an illness that has increasingly occurred in recent years due to the increasing sunlight and associated skin changes. "The face is the longest and most common of the sun, which is why solar changes often occur on the skin in the face area," he explains. In order to prevent such diseases, the surgeon emphasizes the importance of comprehensive sun protection.

Amazing growth of skin cancer cases

The diagnosis of skin cancer - especially white skin cancer - increases in the population. "Over time, the sun changes on the skin are becoming increasingly visible, the diseases due to too much sun not only statistically, but also noticeably more in practice," says Stocker. This alarming development requires increased awareness of the protection of the skin from harmful UV rays. Against this background, Stocker's practice will help people in the region, with the timely detection and treatment of such skin changes.

The hospital leaves

Stocker to switch to the resident area, which is a radical but considered decision for him. "As a young doctor, I had a good time in the hospital, now I want to change, especially since the situation is also worried in the hospital," he explains. Despite his preference for applied surgery, he was confronted with challenges in his endeavor to become a health insurance doctor: "Unfortunately, the long negotiations for the contracts failed." Nevertheless, he remains confident and underlines that his concept is not in competition with the local dentists.

In the new practice, Stocker will not act alone; He will also work with oral surgeon Sven Kanzelsberger. This partnership will expand the spectrum of the services offered and ensure that patients receive the best possible care.

Overall, the opening of the practice is an important step for both Bernhard Stocker and for the community in Braunau. While the numbers for skin cancer cases rise, the surgical approach to treat and prevent considerable value will be. You can get more about these developments in an article here experienced.
