Dr. med. Richard Berger, MD
Dermatology and venereology specialist

Specialist in FMH Dermatology and Venereology

I am a physician who listens and realistically addresses the wishes of my patients. With honest education and the knowledge that while modern procedures make many things possible, not everything is sensible.

I want to take enough time for our patients to be able to build a good mutual trust.

I care about achieving an optimal treatment outcome, with a focus on health and maintenance of health. And privately? I love nature, traveling, and the many facets of architecture of old castles and palaces.

Focal points of treatment

Occupational Dermatological Diseases

In our fast-paced world, more and more people are exposed to occupational risks - and therefore also to dermatological occupational diseases.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a genetic, chronic inflammatory, benign skin disease. Any part of the skin can be affected, as can mucous membranes, joints and nails. At Swiss Derma Clinic, we aim to support patients and improve their quality of life until they no longer have any symptoms.

Outpatient operations & Dermatologic Surgery

Swiss Derma Clinic uses the very latest techniques for the surgical removal of tumours and skin changes as well as to treat skin cancer.

Skin cancer treatment

Swiss Derma Clinic has its own certified operating theatre for the surgical removal of malignant skin tumours. It also has an array of state-of-the-art techniques – including laser, PDT and cryosurgery – for the gentle treatment of precancerous skin lesions. We deliver single-source care all the way from diagnosis to therapy and aftercare.

Skin cancer screening and mole checks

Swiss Derma Clinic’s prevention programme enables malignant lesions to be spotted in the early stages – when the chances of clearing it up are the highest.

Allergies and hives

Skin tests and laboratory analysis enable us to ascertain the main allergic problems, namely hives (urticaria), dermatitis, digestive problems and anaphylaxis. The aim of our therapy is to either stop the allergic reaction or at least relieve the symptoms.
