Prominent addition to Klinik Gut in hand surgery

Klinik Gut is expanding in the area of hand surgery. Starting in September, the very well-known hand surgeon Dr. med. Marco Canova in Graubünden will carry out consultations and procedures for patients at Klinik Gut. In Engadin, Dr. Canova replaces Dr. med. Katrin Hagen, who is retiring.

Dr. med. Marco Canova (55) is a specialist in general, accident and hand surgery. The Graubünden was previously chief physician of hand surgery at the Graubünden Cantonal Hospital and has earned a reputation far beyond the cantonal borders. As an affiliated doctor, he will work surgically at the Fläsch and St. Moritz clinics. He will offer consultations at the Klinik Gut Chur practice and at the Gut St. Moritz clinic for consultation and post-treatment of patients.

“We are delighted to welcome Dr. Canova to the Klinik Gut team. With his experience and skills, he is strengthening our medical services for the population and guests in Grisons,” says Dr. med. Adrian Urfer, delegate of the Board of Directors of Klinik Gut.

“In Engadin, Dr. Canova succeeds Dr. Katrin Hagen, who is retiring and therefore has more time to dedicate herself to her diverse initiatives for the population in Nepal. We would like to thank Katrin Hagen for her many years of good cooperation and wish her all the best personally and for her aid projects.”

“Klinik Gut offers specialized medicine at a very high level for all insurance classes and in a personal atmosphere,” says Dr. med. Marco Canova, looking forward to his new job. “With clinics and practices in South and North Bünden, Klinik Gut is always close to patients and thus makes an important contribution to decentralized medical care for Grisons.”

At Klinik Gut in Fläsch and Praxis Klinik Gut in Chur, in addition to Dr. med. Marco Canova, the hand surgeon Dr. med. Stefan Riederer also offers consultations and procedures as an affiliated doctor. The specialist area of hand surgery deals with diseases, injuries and malformations of the hand, wrist, forearm and peripheral nerves. It is part of the services offered by Klinik Gut as part of its service mandate in the Graubünden hospital list.
