Approach

Many illnesses have a strong root in stress.

Dr. med. Stefan Wehrle explaining a finding to a patient

This applies to physical as well as psychosocial challenges. The result is entrenched patterns of disorder and deficiency. And that is a great pity, once you realise that relief is usually closer at hand than expected.

For such conditions, findings or preventive questions, I offer you a fresh medical perspective on your situation – within a structured health check-up or as a second opinion.

Our trusting dialogue plays a key role in this. Embedded within it are a thorough physical examination, laboratory analyses including a micronutrient check, and ultrasound examinations. Your existing prescriptions can be reviewed, but will gladly be continued in coordination with your other doctors.

The aim of our collaboration is to give you orientation and confidence, so that you can make informed decisions that are medically sound and right for you. With regard to micronutrients and food supplements, you will receive a recommendation tailored specifically to you.

I look forward to working together.

  • Trusting dialogue

    The in-depth conversation forms the frame within which every further step is embedded.

  • Thorough physical examination

    Careful clinical assessment as the basis for every further evaluation.

  • Laboratory analyses including micronutrient check

    Targeted diagnostics that make deficiencies and silent inflammation visible.

  • Ultrasound examinations

    Imaging without radiation exposure, directly during the consultation.

  • Review of existing prescriptions

    On request and always in coordination with the doctors treating you.

  • Tailored micronutrient recommendation

    A recommendation matched to your findings instead of generic supplementation.

About me

Listening, thinking clearly, acting responsibly

It has always mattered to me to listen to people seriously, to think clearly in medical terms and to act responsibly. I combine competence in internal medicine with a calm, attentive manner of encounter.

I understand healing not as control, but as a relationship between equals – carried by knowledge, experience and respect for that which cannot be fully steered.

I am married and have two grown-up daughters.

Collaboration

Training stress regulation – together with Natascha Battus

Together with my wife, Natascha Battus, we offer health-oriented training in the body's own stress regulation, based on the Zurich Resource Model ZRM®.

The aim is to secure health and performance not through yet more endurance, but through conscious self-direction, inner clarity and sustainable regeneration over the long term.

ZRM® – Zurich Resource Model

Self-direction instead of endurance

The Zurich Resource Model is a scientifically grounded training programme for self-regulation. It helps you to activate your own resources consciously and to meet demands sustainably – as a complement to medical care.

Costs and billing

Medical services are billed via the Swiss basic health insurance (Grundversicherung). Certain services – in particular extended laboratory analyses, micronutrient testing and preventive health check-ups – are not part of the mandatory benefits catalogue. Laboratory analyses are invoiced privately by the laboratory. Other services I invoice privately; depending on your supplementary insurance, these as well as the laboratory services may be covered in full or in part. How your case will be billed is something we discuss before any examination.
